[gmx-developers] couple_moltype adds exclusions. why?

[David van der Spoel]

Hi,

I'm trying to desolvate a toluene molecule in order to compute the free 
energy of solvation. Using mdp settings

free_energy              = yes
couple-moltype           = toluene

all the non-bonded interactions within the molecule are excluded. Why? 
The 1-4 interactions are not taken away, which should lead to imbalance 
in the intramolecular interactions. Or am I missing something?
