We construct a force field for organochromium poly(benzyl phenyl ether) dendrimers from reported experimental data and experimental data measured by us. Potential function terms are principally optimised through the use of crystal structure data of a novel [Cr(CO)3(C6H5CH2OCH 2C6H5)Cr(CO)3] complex. We report the synthesis and the crystal structure data of the chromium complex. In addition the important benzyl ether linkage torsion angle parameter is optimized by comparison with ab initio torsional data of a model compound. With this information, a force field suitable for molecular mechanics and dynamics calculations of organochromium poly(benzyl phenyl ether) dendrimers is constructed. The force field is tested by mapping the energy surface and simulating the crystal structure of [Cr(CO)3(C6H5CH2OCH 2C6H5)Cr(CO)3].
