He said he wanted to divide the molecule into two parts based
somehow on the centre of mass previously calculated, which sounds
like the division isn't predetermined.
But yes, if you already know which atoms belong to each half,
then there's no difficulty.
Either way, the problem statement needs some refining before we
can help much more.
