Dear all, 
I would like to know the function that's been used to describe the CV 
Hydronium_distance  which appears to consider the distance between the 
distance between hydroxide ion and hydronium ion. There are lots of 
parameters given in the subsection I believe is derived from (J. Am. Chem. 
Soc.,128, 2006, 11318).
Can anyone help me understand what do these parameters mean ? 

Section to define the formation of a hydronium as a collective variable. 
Distance between hydronium and hydroxide ion Experimental at this point, 
i.e. not proved to be an effective collective variable. [Edit on GitHub
