<div>AFAIUI, when model CO2 molecules, at least two dummy particle should present to make CO2 linear-triatomic molecules along with the quadrupole moment. If there exists better way, I have to change CO2 model of mine. </div>

            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

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

Kiwoong Kim wrote:

    Hi,

    I&#39;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&#39;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.

</pre>
                        <tt> How can I do that??? </tt><tt>I see no
                          reason why you should do either. For
                          dinitrogen, which has no </tt><tt>net dipole,
                          it seems intuitive to me that both N atoms
                          should have </tt><tt>zero charge.</tt>
                        <pre style="margin:0em">-Justin

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).
