Hi, gmx-usrs,
I want to ask for a problem on the charge distribution. I simulate the sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and its homologues in solution using the gromos96 force field. I can not find the similar atom type as replace in the gromos96 force field . How do I define every atomic charge? I have the mulliken charge distribution and ESP charge from the quantum calculation. Should I employ them? Can you give me some advice? Thanks a lot!

Which atom types are unknown?

Parameterization of the Gromos96 force fields relies more heavily on fitting parameters to experimental observables. Starting with QM charges isn't a bad idea, but do read the papers pertaining to the parameterization of the Gromos96 parameter sets. Free energy calculations and comparison to thermodynamic constants are necessary.
