Dear Nisha P.:

The bond parameters can be easily derived from any ab initio
calculation you like, although this will not remove the issue that
such system is fantastic. By the way, what charges do you suppose to
put on the counterions of your crazy molecule?

What is your reseach task in fact?

Good luck.

P.S. The Moore's Law will not continue to hold. :-)
