Notes: Ideally, you would use a fitting procedure since you have more than the minimum amount of data required to determine the constants. To fit an equation in Maple, create two lists containing your x and y values. In this case, your y values are the energies so you could create the list of energies by
Note: To get consistent results when measuring dihedral angles in HyperChem, it is important always to take the atoms in the same order. HyperChem numbers atoms when it builds a molecule. To see these numbers, select Number from the Label dialog. Then make sure to always drag over the atoms which define your dihedral angle in the same numerical order.
Here is how to use ghost atoms in HyperChem:
