    I am trying to create an index file to get interaction energies between

    To do this how should I define my index groups. Should I include all 125
    molecuels in index file? now I have only the first 20 atoms (first
    molecule)..


To get the total interaction energy among your hexanes, all atoms of all C6H14's should be listed in the NDX file, e.g. 125 * 20...

The underlying issue with this approach is that there are then in excess of 125*125 energy terms written to the .edr file, which will quickly make this file very (perhaps prohibitively) large. Let the OP be warned...

Good luck.
