The approach and software are each powerful and usefully accurate, as shown by Smith et al. (2011). At the same time, the available RMDff force fields and switching potentials are limited to sp3 carbon-hydrogen systems. Expanding to more elements and bonds would be valuable. for more information: K.D. Smith, M. Bruns, S.I. Stoliarov, M.R. Nyden, O.A. Ezekoye, P.R.
