Bond connectivity for Methyl benzoate was created by shalinijr
Hi,
Methyl benzoate is modeled as three TC5 beads for the aromatic ring and one N4a bead for the acetate group. In the .itp file for this compound (as shown below), bead 1 (N4a) is bonded to beads 2 and 3 (TC5, TC5) as opposed to just one of them. Could someone help in explaining this?

Hi,
Methyl benzoate has an elongated square diamond shape (◇) on the CG level. If you went with just a single bond, you'd also need an angle potential to keep the N4a bead oriented correctly. By having two connections, you make a neat triangle with the two TC5 beads, keeping the model simpler.

Yes! An even better explanation of the one I gave here:
