Having access to the literature will be essential for continuing your work.  In 
any case, doing such a simulation is not as simple as "give me the parameters 
for molecule X."  You need to choose a parent force field that will represent 
your system and obtain or derive compatible parameters.  Parameterization is no 
easy task (although a diatomic molecule should be fairly straightforward), and 
you need to be very familiar with how the chosen force field works and is 
derived, information that will require thorough examination of the literature.
