In the GROMOS force fields there are no standard recipes, except "by
analogy", which means that we presume that e.g. alcohol groups will have
the same charges in methanol and ethanol. GROMACS also supports OPLS
which is a bit better in systematically deriving parameters. But here
you have to find some literature to check how...
