3 Computational Chemistry Chemistry? Theoretical Chemistry Software Hardware Quantum Chemical Packages QM/MM, MM approaches, Coarse grain Computational Chemistry Properties of molecules and solids Complements to experiments Predictions of never observed phenomena! Design of new molecules and materials Nobel Prize Chemistry 1998 Nobel Prize Chemistry 2013 Several Approaches Choose the appropriate approaches 3

4 Introduction Computational Chemistry? Each system its approach! Different groups of software

5 Computational Chemistry QM/MM DFT Gaussian physics, astrophysics, biochemistry, material sciences

6 Computational Chemistry QM/MM DFT Gaussian physics, astrophysics, biochemistry, material sciences

7 Which system for which method/software? Is there a particular category of computations that is of most interest? Structure: Geometry optimizations based on model chemistry Comparison of computational results to experimental results Transition state geometries Property: Electrical, optical, magnetic, etc Determination of spectra, from NMR to X-Ray Calculation of quantum descriptors Quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) (Re)activity: Reaction mechanisms in chemistry and biochemistry QSAR-types of problems Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) is the process by which chemical structure is quantitatively correlated with a well defined process 7

8 Each System its approach Approaches involve different approximations: Simplified forms = easier or faster to solve Approximations by limiting the size of the system For example, most ab initio calculations make the Born- Oppenheimer approximation, which greatly simplifies the underlying Schrödinger Equation by freezing the nuclei in place during the calculation. Ab Initio Methods In practice impossible Exact solution The goal of computational chemistry is to minimize this residual error while keeping the calculations tractable. 8

9 Which system for which method/software? Systems Atoms & molecules Clusters Molecular complexes Large molecular systems Biomolecules Solvated systems Biological membranes External Perturbations Electric/magnetic Fields Solids Bulk/Surfaces Crystals/Amorphous Metals/oxides Methods MM Parameters Exp./QC HF/Post-HF MPn/CC/CI Localized basis functions Slater/Gaussian Pseudo-potentials DFT Functionals Pure DFT/Hybrid Local Basis/Plane waves Pseudopotentials Cluster/Periodic 9

10 Methodologies Several Approaches No mathematical solution Too computationally demanding Specificity of the system Calculation Complexity Exact Only for H-atom Post HF Only for relatively small systems HF Finite and Periodic, etc. DFT System Complexity Semi Empir.

15 Molecular Mechanics Model based on classical mechanics (not quantum) Molecules are treated like an ensemble of atoms in space linked to each other with bonds described by functions of elastic potentials Very big systems F=-kx Results not always reliable 16

16 Forcefield Methods: Forcefield methods They are based on a simple description of the potential energy between atoms using empirical equations Total potential energy: E(r N ) = E bond + E angles + E dihedral + E van der Waals + E electrostatic + E polarisation Bonded interactions INTRA-molecular only Non bonded interactions INTER-molecular only

19 Explore the Potential Energy Surfaces The minima of the total potential energy corresponds to - conformers of a single organic molecule - polymorphs of a solid (SiO 2, TiO 2 ) - adsorption sites on a surface The PES possesses many minima and there is no general mathematical approach to find the global minimum. One uses numerical approaches that allow to find local minima. There are different strategies to explore the PES, depending on the kind of information wanted.

Conditions after Dt 1 Conditions after Dt n Properties are calculated as mean values after a certain time (when equilibrium is reached) 29

29 Statistical ensembles Microcanonical ensemble (NVE):The thermodynamic state characterized by a fixed number of atoms, N, a fixed volume, V, and a fixed energy, E. This corresponds to an isolated system. Canonical Ensemble (NVT): it is a collection of all systems whose thermodynamic state is characterized by a fixed number of atoms, N, a fixed volume, V, and a fixed temperature, T. Isobaric Isothermal Ensemble (NPT):This ensemble is characterized by a fixed number of atoms, N, a fixed pressure, P, and a fixed temperature, T. Grand canonical Ensemble(μVT):The thermodynamic state for this e ensemble is characterized by a fixed chemical potential, μ, a fixed volume, V, and a fixed temperature, T.
