Steric Corrections File Format

Steric corrections are a special case of the substructure thermodynamic corrections. The substructures given in the steric corrections are generalized structure, meaning generalized structures where not all the bonding is specified.

For example, the correction for a general tertiary substructure is:

 12   1 1.CH3 correction pour ch3 tertiary                0 0.0 1.0     1 1.0j73
l  ch3/cc2

The general tertiary substructure is given in the line1a:

ch3/cc2

The corresponding thermodynamic information is given in line 2:

-0.540 1   0.000 0  0.00  0.00  0.00  0.00  0.00  0.00  0.00 0
