53. It has also been suggested [Professor N. L. Allinger (University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, USA); private communication] that, rather than evaluating stretching and torsion force constants in conjugated segments from a HF (more specifically a π-SCF see R. D. Brown and M. L. Heffernan, Faraday Soc. 54, 757 (1958)
54. R. D. Brown and N. L. Heffernen, Austral. J. Chem. 12, 319 (1959) determination of n-bond-orders, as is currently done with MM3 and MM4, resorting to a correlated (π-MP2
55. [see J. C. Tai and N. L. Allinger, J. Comput. Chem. 19, 475 (1998]) treatment of these bond orders and force constants would tend to raise the barriers to out-of-plane twistings of phenyl rings about single carbon-carbon bonds, and possibly therefore enforce the planarity of trans-stilbene at the MM4 level as well.
