Description
Conformational changes like inversion of chiral centers and rotation about double bonds rarely occur when reactants go to TSs (e.g. a reactant containing a cis double bond will probably have a TS with that corresponding double bond being cis). This is similar to the templating idea proposed in #33, but with a variation. I'm proposing that we do the following when building a TS geometry:
- Read in QM optimized geometries, if they exist, for reactants and products.
- Perform conformer analysis and QM optimization for reactants and products that have no optimized geometries and read them in.
- Using optimized geometries for reactants and products, construct a TS geometry using a tighter bounds matrix for bound atoms (because we trust these values)
- Perform a conformer analysis on rotatable torsions only because cis/trans bonds and chiral centers probably won't invert.
This would require us to do the following:
- Create a database of optimized geometries for autotst.reaction to read from
- Possibly build the geometry with RDKit if a reactant or product geometry isn't available but post a warning.
- Revise the way the bounds matrix is edited in autotst.reaction
- Revise the conformer analysis in autotst.conformer.systematic to not include cit/trans bonds and chiral centers
