I don't know how to model N2 molecule yet.
If I use virtual site for N2 model, then, this can be done like below.
Hence, where do I have to apply plus charge for making N2 neutral??
Can it be D1 and D2 for plus charge??
Why are you creating two dummy atoms? Your earlier post implied two
negatively charged N atoms and a single (axial) positively-charged
massless dummy atom would be an adequate model. The two N atoms have a
bond or constraint between them, and the dummy atom is a type 2 virtual
site half-way between them. IIRC this should be the same for linear
rigid CO2, except that there the central particle has mass and charge.

Hi,
I asked this question before.
Thanks to Justin, he did reply as follows.

Hi,
I'm getting better to use Gromacs owing to many posts on this sites :)
.
I have several questions about adding the counter-ions.
My system has a number of N2 molecules which has charge,
-0.40484(for single N) X 2.
Thus, I have to add some counter-ions to make the system neutral.
However, because I'm newbie on Gromacs, I thought of several
clumsy ways myself.
#1. Add virtual sites (virtual atoms) which has counter-ions like
below.
[ atomtypes ]
; name mass charge ptype sigma epsilon
DUM 0 0.80968 V 0.0 0.0
I set the coordinates of each virtual DUM atoms to the center of
N2 molecules.
#2. using genion in Gromacs.
But, I have no idea on this. What molecules do I have to designate
to charge plus ion using genion ??
I typed below line.
genion -s md_0_1.tpr -n index.ndx -o ton_genion.pdb -g
md_0_1_genion.log -p topol_genion.top -np 322 -pname dum -pq 0.80968
and selected N2 molecules which is diffusing particle.
It results that the name of half of N2 molecules is changed as
DUM. (maybe the system become neutral)
The number of N2 molecules should be fixed.
Do I have additional N2 molecule for charging using genion?? Then,
what are the initial coordinates???
please help me....
any advises would be helpful.
How can I do that??? I see no reason why you should do either. For
dinitrogen, which has no net dipole, it seems intuitive to me that
both N atoms should have zero charge.

I made linear rigid model (CO2) by introducing virtual interaction.
However, I
have troubles in modelling N2 molecules.
I want to model N2 with quadrupole moment according to the paper (Adsorption
(2007) 13: 469-476).
In the paper, the charge N2 model (originally developed by Murthy et al.
(1980)
can be described as follows.
N (-0.40484), Dummy (N2, +0.80968).
Right... that's totally different from N2 with charged N atoms :)
Actually, I don't know how to model N2 molecules with dummy. Please let me
know
any advises.
Sounds like virtual site type 2 is perfect - and didn't you already
use that for CO2? See section 4.7 and somewhere in chapter 5.
Mark
Thx. Have a great day. :)
