Sir,
 I went through as you instructed but , I could not figure out how to fix
the bond distance because it is a transition of open to close .Constrain{}
function and the move atom{}  do not have any option to fix the bond length
during the ring opening and the closing .
Thank you,

Your faithfully,
Iresh .
