   Dihedral (Torsion) Angles ($\tau_{ijkl}$)
   Dihedral angles describe the rotation around a bond connecting four sequential atoms $i, j, k,$ and $l$. The angle $\tau_{ijkl}$ is the angle between the plane defined by atoms $i, j, k$ and the plane defined by atoms $j, k, l$. Dihedral angles are the primary descriptors of [molecular conformational flexibility](/entries/molecular-conformation…
