There is a periodic dihedral within ffoplsaabon.itp which points to a reference. Perhaps these are the parameters you are referring to. If not, check out the bottom of ffoplsaabon.itp and read that paper to see if the parameters will suit your needs.

If you need an R-B dihedral, you may have to parameterize it yourself; not an easy task.

They are CH3-SI-O-SI, SI-O-SI-CH3 and SI-O-SI-O. I have looked up ffoplsaabon.itp. it doesn't include any dihedral consisting of SI. And the literatures only have the parameters for periodic potential. Thank you so much for your kind help!

        Yes, I have read that part and still have no idea how can I do
        that.  That part tells us how to transfer from the OPLS
        parameters Vi to RB potential in GROMOS force field Ci.  Now
        what I have is phi and k for periodic potential. Is there any
        way I can get Ci for RB potential from phi and k in order to use
        OPLS force field?


    I don't know if there is a direct conversion.  There are, however,
    over 1000 existing dihedrals in ffoplsaabon.itp; which dihedral are
    you looking for that you can't find?

               Dear Justin:

               If I have the parameters of GROMOS force field for the proper
               dihedral, which i think they are phi and k for function 1 for
               periodic type. I wanted to use OPLS force field. As far as I
               know in OPLS  the dihedral was RB potential in fuction 3.
        So my
               question is do you know any method I can transfer this
        parameter
               to RB parameters? Or these two potentials have no
        connections?
               Thanks
