It seems I spoke too soon. Energy minimising the one-particle structure
in vacuum gives me the following potential energies:
methanol 21.4
ethanol 9.4
propanol 3.8
butanol 4.1
pentanol 12.2
hexanol 81.0
All minimizations have converged with Fmax < 1e-3. Are these energies
reasonable? The energies of methanol and hexanol are somewhat high.
Energy minimisation with a system of 4913 methanol molecules with
initial density of 500 kg/m^3 and periodic boundary conditions gives as
potential energy Epot = -1.67e5, however the forces do not converge.
Running the system with Berendsen pressure and temperature thermostats
(p = 1 bar, T = 300 K) results in a crash after 82 ps. The total energy
is positive and of the order 1e5.
