Okay, let me try to rephrase the question, because it seems that I am definitely unable to make it work and noone's replied so far.

I have a "molecule" (a periodic boron nitride sheet) and a stand-alone itp file for it -- everything works, i.e. it's a stable, well-behaved structure the way I set it up.

Within that molecule (and nowhere else) I need Coulombic interactions between closest neighbors, while all other non-bonded interactions should obey an effective nrexcl = 3. Is this something that can be done in Gromacs?

Thank you.

Alex

Hi all,

I think I understand how it works, but to double-check... There's a paper describing a setup of intramolecular interactions for boron nitride (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jpclett.7b03443), in which non-bonded interactions *within* 1-4 were set up in the following way: LJ is off, but all electrostatic interactions are on. This is to achieve a better representation of the phonon spectrum and in fact it appears physically correct.

Does this mean setting nrexcl to 1 for the crystal topology and creating a table of nonbond_param between B and N with sigma and epsilon equal to 0?

Thanks,

Alex
