What you have done there looks very strange...
easiest wy would be:
define the two oxygens as normal atoms (1,2), give them a bondlength twotimes the C-O bond length define the carbon as a dummy (3), while you construct it's position from both oxygens with a=0.5
one thing i don't know is how to handle the mass:
1) give both oxygen half of the system mass
2) give all atoms their normal mass
would tend to (2)

One should want to get both the total mass and the moment of inertia correct... http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2003-September/007095.html.

How to choose the positions of the dummy atoms while constraining the

The topology for a such molecule ( af for example CO2 ) is as follows

Can anyone please check above file parts whether I'm doing correct or not ?
