1 METHODS FOR TREATING SOLVENT EFFECTS AND INTERMOLECULAR FORCES Mark S. Gordon Iowa State University Ames Laboratory

2 OUTLINE Solvation Methods Explicit vs. implicit methods Explicit Methods TIP3P, TIP4P SPC, SPC/E EFP Method for Solvation Summary of EFP1 method for water Sample input files Monte Carlo method Example applications Generalized EFP Method (EFP2)

3 SOLVENT MODELS: CONTINUUM Mostly based on Onsager reaction field model Computationally efficient Sensitive to cavity size and shape Do not account for explicit solute-solvent interactions

4 SOLVATION MODELS: EXPLICIT Solvent molecules described using potentials Empirical potentials: lots of fitted parameters Ab initio potentials: computationally expensive Include explicit solute-solvent interactions Configurational sampling necessary: computationally demanding

5 Multi-Layered Approach to Solvation H H O H O H H O MM H H O H H O H Ab Initio Solute Continuum

6 DISCRETE/EXPLICIT MODELS TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP5P Jorgensen etal, JCP, 79, 926 (1983) Basically simple Lennard-Jones model m n ε mn = [q i q j / r ij ] + A / R 12 C / R 6 i j ε mn =interaction energy between waters m,n q O <0 = -2q H, A, C fitted to bulk properties Rigid molecules TIP4P adds a 4th center inside O toward Hs Very popular model; doesn t get OO radial distribution function right: misses 2nd peak

7 DISCRETE/EXPLICIT MODELS SPC (Simple Point Charge), SPC/E Berendsen etal, JPC, 91, 6269 (1987) SPC: m n ε mn = [q i q j / r ij ] + A / R 12 C / R 6 i j SPC same as TIP, but fitted to MD simulations of density and vaporization energy Rigid molecules Gets OO radial distribution function right Accounts for polarizability/induction

8 SPC/E RDF goo(r) Curve: SPC/E Points: exptl R, Angstroms

9 General Effective Fragment Potential Discrete solvation method Fragment potential is one electron contribution to the QM Hamiltonian if QM part is present Potentials are obtained by separate QM calculations depend on properties of isolated molecules can be systematically improved Internally frozen geometries

10 GOALS Develop general approach to accurately describe intermolecular interactions Solvent effects on Ions and molecules Chemical reaction mechanisms Spectral shifts Liquid behavior Liquid-gas, liquid-surface interface Van der Waals interactions Polymer interactions Enzyme interactions Incorporate all important physics No parameter fits Efficient

11

12 Effective Fragment Potential System is divided into an ab initio region for the solute and a fragment region for the solvent molecules. E = Eab initio + Einteraction

13 General EFP Method In the most general implementation EFP should include all relevant energy contributions: Einteraction = Ecoulomb + Epolarization + Eexch. rep. + Edispersion + Echarge transfer + Ehigher order terms

14 Interaction energy consists of : electrostatic, polarization and exchange repulsion/charge transfer term Einteraction= Ecoulomb + Epolarization + Eexchange repulsion/charge transfer K E interaction = V Elec k (µ,s) + V Pol Re l (µ,s) + V p m (µ, s) k =1 Hartree Fock based EFP L l =1 M m =1 Distributed Multipolar expansion Damping at small R LMO polarizability expansion Iterate to self-consistency Fit to Functional Form

15 Analytic gradients (first derivatives) have been derived and coded for all terms. So, one can perform geometry optimizations, transition state searches, dynamics

16 HIGHER LEVELS OF EFP1 DFT-based EFP (Ivana Adamovic) Same general approach Based on B3LYP Adds some level of correlation MP2-based EFP (Lyuda Slipchenko,Jie Song) Same general approach Separate fits for exchange repulsion+ct, dispersion More effective correlation, especially at long range EFP-EFP done, EFP-QM in progress

17 EFP1/DFT: APPLICATION TO S N 2 Microsolvation of Cl - + CH 3 Br (Ronnie Bierbaum) Solute=DFT/B3LYP, MP2, CCSD(T) Water=DFT, MP2, EFP/DFT Preliminary analysis CCSD(T) has minor effect relative to MP2 (< 1 kcal/ mol) Basis set effects are small (<1 kcal/mol) Basis set used: aug-cc-pvdz

18 GAS PHASE 0.00 separate reactants Cl Br IRC -6.2 DFT (4.4) -1.5 MP2 (10.2) transition state IRC -7.0 DFT -6.1 MP2 products DFT MP2 ion-molecule reactant DFT MP2 ion-molecule product

23 CONCLUSIONS EFP reproduces QM at small fraction of cost DFT greatly underestimates central barrier DFT reproduces solvent effect on central barrier MP2 for solute with EFP for solvent good compromise Reproduces both absolute and solvent-shifted MP2 central barriers Suggests EFP1/MP2 will be just as good

65 CURRENT LIMITATIONS EFP1 is for water only QM part can be any level of theory Solvent must be water EFP2 can be generated for any species QM-EFP energies are now done QM-EFP gradients are in progress

66 CONTINUUM SOLVATION MODELS Simplest is Onsager self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) model ($SCRF) Solute (QM) dipole moment µ polarizes medium (solvent) through dielectric ε Newly polarized solvent alters solute dipole moment Iterated to self-consistency Accomplished by adding new term to QM Hamiltonian

67 ONSAGER SCRF MODEL V σ = -r.r r = position vector R is proportional to molecular dipole moment R = gµ µ = dipole vector g = 2 (ε 1)/[(2ε+1)(a 3 )] a = radius of cavity Usually assume spherical cavity Radius can be pretty arbitrary Adds simple <χ i x χ j > integrals - very cheap

68 PCM MODEL Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM) Tomasi etal., Chem. Phys. Lett., 255, 327 (1996) Van der Waals type surface cavity Uses detailed knowledge of electrostatic potential Cavity dispersion potential determined from surface area Can include dispersion effects Interfaced with EFP in GAMESS: $PCM See both input and reference sections in manual
