Aug 27, 2015 at 20:26 comment added Geoff Hutchison @Jori If you are using MMFF94, it loosely corresponds to a heat of formation, but relative comparisons are best. Using molecular mechanics for an absolute heat of formation is unreliable at best.
Aug 27, 2015 at 18:34 comment added Jori @GeoffHutchison Geoff, I started playing around a bit with Avogadro + Gaussian and had a question. Since you are one of its authors, could you please answer me: what exactly does the conformer energy obtained from Molecular Mechanics -> Calculate Energy signify? Is this enthalpy of formation or energy relative to some standard form or w/e? I tried searching the Wiki first, but it's not really helpful as most articles either don't exist or are only half written. Thanks in advance!
