Re: Problem with internal coordinates

IZMAT input includes a number defining the type of coordinate (1 means bond, 2 means angle, 3 means dihedral, etc., as described in INPUT.DOC), followed by the numbers of the atoms involved in that coordinate. Therefore, the lines you mention:izmat(1)=
1,1,2,
2,1,2,3,
1,2,3
mean:
a bond between atoms 1 and 2
the angle defined by atoms 1,2,3
a bond bewteen atoms 2,3
If you had a larger molecule and wanted to include a dihedral with atoms 4,3,2,1, you would add:
3, 4,3,2,1
