Unfortunately that isn't possible due to the geometry of the molecule and
the angles in question, because while one side of the angle terminates at
the carbonyl carbon, the other side is the first atom of the phenyl ring.
Even the simplest replacement would retain the contaminating interactions,
and would also change the electronics in the angle atoms significantly.
Perhaps optimising these separately with Ener. Weight set to 0? Otherwise I
think I'll try for the Hessian at a different geometry.
