A reliable set of force‐field parameters is a crucial prerequisite for molecular mechanics simulations. On page 2349 (DOI: 10.1002/jcc.24457 ), Ruixing Wang, Mikhail Ozhgibesov, and Hajime Hirao present a force‐field parameterization scheme called partial Hessian fitting that allows the derivation of force constant parameters to describe bond‐stretching, angle‐bending, and dihedral terms. A 3 × 3 partial matrix chosen according to a simple rule is made as close as possible to the corresponding partial Hessian matrix computed using quantum mechanics.
