Dear Justin
Thank you very much. As I saw in some literature (as in the link below)
that N atom has a negative charge and needs a massless positive charge. I
tried with most of the FFs but could not produce nitrogen density above
critical point. I don'n know which FF is the best one and I'm new to MD
simulations and new GROMACS user.
Could you please tell me which FF should I use?

What you're citing is a custom model. You can write the force field files very easily. I see what you're trying to do now, but you should be clear that N2 is not a negatively charged molecule simply because the N atoms (in this representation) have partial negative charges. The virtual site balances it out so that electrostatic properties are better represented.

The virtual site you need to create is a simple one, placed at the center of the N-N bond, so this is virtual_sites2 with an "a" value of 0.5.

Thank you very much I appreciate your support.

This is incorrect - N2 carries no formal charge.

tutorial about CO2 to produce the XXX.itp but didnot work with me. Could
anyone have done it before tell me how to do it ?


You don't need virtual sites for a diatomic molecule.

Here are the parameters:
N :mass =14.0067, epsilon =(0.3026 KJ/mol), sigma =(0.332 nm), Charge
=(-0.482 e).

XX (massless, charged particle ):mass =0, epsilon=0, sigma=0 Charge= 0.964
e.

Thank you very much.
