Average length of the molecule from the MMC simulation
The average length of the molecule was computed after all groups in the molecule were attempted to be moved once. The distance between the “end-groups” of each molecule will include the gauche bonds, if they get formed. Gauche bonds were detected by recording changes in positions of single groups. If it was found that Gauche bonds are not formed, then one can be confident that the molecule remains linear.
The average effective length is reported here.
