Dear Christopher,
If the water keep escaping can I assume that there is no interaction and avoid the point or should I consider it an error? Another problem that I have encountered is that when I write the gau input files, in the water interaction step, I do not get automatic input files for the separate optimization of water and my molecule. For what I understood from the tutorial and the article, they should be automatically generated, shouldn´t they?
Regards,
Davide

Double check that you have properly assigned the water orientation (donor vs acceptor) and inspect the input files to ensure that ffTK has properly positioned the water molecule(s). In some cases, the water interaction profile is strongly perturbed by the local environment, e.g., adjacent atoms. I don't have a lot of experience working with charged species, but I can imagine this will affect the interaction profile.

Looking at the optimization of some donor water, in the water interaction step, I have seen that the one that are interacting with C2, C4, C5 and H5, H6 move really far from the molecule. Is it normal or have I messed up with the setup?
