Added script to scan the torsional surface of general molecules. Example added for propanol.

Still need to do these things in order to make it a usable tool:

  • The quantum chemistry code should be psi4 instead of Q-Chem. I was using Q-Chem because the geometry optimization is more reliable. Q-Chem is also an option but it costs money.
    • I was using psi4 to refine the surfaces at a higher level of theory (MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ) after they were generated by Q-Chem at a lower level (MP2/6-31G*).
  • The scanner doesn't work with force fields right now because atom typing is required and it calls TINKER. We should either implement this properly or take it out.
  • (Optional) Eliminate dependency on my support modules, nifty.py and molecule.py (included).
  • Automatic detection of which dihedral angles to scan.
    • Which bonds are important?
    • Which are the "handle" atoms?
