angle

Details
  Type:         String
  Definition:   [3 integers and 4 reals]
Provides the values for a single bond angle bending parameter.

This "hydrogen environment" option is provided to implement the corresponding feature of the AMOEBA force field.
The default units for the force constant are kcal/mole/radian^2, but this can be controlled via the angleunit keyword.
