1 Non-covalent force fields computed ab initio Supermolecule calculations Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT)

2 Supermolecule calculations Requirements: E = E AB E A E B. Include electron correlation, intra- and inter-molecular (dispersion energy = intermolecular correlation). Choose good basis, with diffuse orbitals (and bond functions ) especially to converge the dispersion energy 3. Size consistency. Currently best method: CCSD(T) 4. Correct for basis set superposition error (BSSE) by computing E A and E B in dimer basis

3 Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) Combine perturbation theory with antisymmetrization A (Pauli) to include short-range exchange effects. Advantages:. E calculated directly.. Contributions (electrostatic, induction, dispersion, exchange) computed individually. Useful in analytic fits of potential surface. Advantage of supermolecule method: Easy, use any black-box molecular electronic structure program

4 Problems in SAPT:. Pauli: AH = HA. Antisymmetrizer commutes with total Hamiltonian H = H (0) + H (), but not with H (0) and H () separately. Has led to different definitions of second (and higher) order energies.. Free monomer wavefunctions Φ A k and Φ B k not exactly known. Use Hartree-Fock wave functions and apply double perturbation theory to include intra-molecular correlation, or use CCSD wave functions of monomers Many-body SAPT. Program packages: - SAPT for pair potentials - SAPT3 for 3-body interactions

5 Most difficult: dispersion interactions First ab initio calculation of He He binding curve: Phys. Rev. Letters, 5 (970) H.F. Schaefer, D.R. McLaughlin, F.E. Harris, and B.J. Alder page 988: D e =.0 K P. Bertoncini and A. C. Wahl page 99: D e =.4 K Present value: D e =.0 K = 7.65 cm 0. kj/mol 0 3 ev Hartree

6 Can one use DFT methods? Reviews by Johnson & DiLabio, Zhao & Truhlar Many different functionals tested with different basis sets type dimer mean error in D e Van der Waals Rg, (CH 4 ), (C H ), (benzene) % dipole-induced dipole CH 4 HF, H O benzene, etc % dipole-dipole (H CO), etc % hydrogen bonded (NH 3 ), (H O), (HCOOH), etc. 3-0% Some VdW dimers, (benzene) for example, not bound B97 best, B3LYP worst Often best results without BSSE correction, or smaller basis sets Right for wrong reason

7 Basic problems with DFT. Exchange repulsion Incorrect asymptotic behavior of one-electron potential: v(r) exp( αr) instead of /r In intermolecular Coulomb energy no self-term present self-exchange spurious attraction. Dispersion Intrinsically non-local: cannot be described by local LDA or semi-local GGA methods

8 DFT with dispersion explicitly included vdw-df: M. Dion, H. Rydberg, E. Schroder, D.C. Langreth, B.I. Lundqvist, Phys. Rev. Lett. 9 (004) Ar Ar interaction E int (cm ) SAPT(DFT)/PBE0 SAPT(DFT)/B97 CCSD(T)/CBS Benchmark vdw DF R (Å) From: R. Podeszwa and K. Szalewicz, Chem. Phys. Lett. 4 (005) 488

9 DFT with dispersion included semi-empirically Becke, Johnson, and others: - Include atom-atom C 6 R 6 C 8 R 8 C 0 R 0 term in addition to the semi-local correlation energy - Approximate C 6, C 8, C 0 from atomic squared multipole moment expectation values and (empirical) static polarizabilities - Empirically optimized damping parameters

10 Alternative: SAPT-DFT Implemented by G. Jansen et al. (Delaware) (Essen) and K. Szalewicz et al. First order SAPT energy (electrostatic + exchange) computed with monomer densities and density matrices from Kohn-Sham DFT Second-order SAPT energy (induction, dispersion + exchange) from (time-dependent) coupled perturbed Kohn-Sham response functions Only Hartree-Fock like expressions from Many-Body SAPT needed better scaling

11 Caution! SAPT-DFT requires XC potential that is good in inner region and has correct /r behavior for r Coupled time-dependent DFT must be used for (frequencydependent) density-density polarizabilities α(r, r, ω) Both groups, K. Szalewicz (Delaware) and G. Jansen (Essen), further improved efficiency by implementation of density fitting.

18 New polarizable water pair potential: CC-pol From CCSD(T) calculations in aug-cc-pvtz + bond function basis Extrapolated to complete basis set (CBS) limit at MP level 50 carefully selected water dimer geometries Estimated uncertainty < 0.07 kcal/mol (same as best single-point calculations published)

19 CC-pol: Analytic representation Site-site model with 8 sites (5 symmetry distinct) per molecule Coulomb interaction, dispersion interaction, exponential overlap terms: first-order exchange repulsion, second-order exchange induction + dispersion Extra polarizability site for induction interaction Long range R n contributions computed by perturbation theory, subtracted before fit of short range terms Good compromise between accuracy of reproducing computed points (rmsd of 0.09 kcal/mol for E < 0) and simplicity needed for molecular simulations

20 How to test non-covalent force fields?

21 Molecular beam spectroscopy of Van der Waals molecules

22 W.L. Meerts, Molecular and Laser Physics, Nijmegen

23 Intermolecular potential Cluster (Van der Waals molecule) quantum levels, i.e., eigenstates of nuclear motion Hamiltonian Van der Waals spectra

24 Nuclear motion Hamiltonian H = T + V for normal (= semi-rigid) molecules single equilibrium structure small amplitude vibrations Use rigid rotor/harmonic oscillator model For (harmonic) vibrations Wilson GF -matrix method frequencies, normal coordinates Rigid rotor model fine structure (high resolution spectra)

25 Nuclear motion Hamiltonian H = T + V for weakly bound complexes (Van der Waals or hydrogen bonded) multiple equivalent equilibrium structures (= global minima in the potential surface V ) small barriers tunneling between minima large amplitude (VRT) motions: vibrations, internal rotations, tunneling (more or less rigid monomers) curvilinear coordinates complicated kinetic energy operator T

26 Method for molecule-molecule dimers H O H O, NH 3 NH 3, etc. Hamiltonian H = T A + T B h µr R R + (J j A j B ) µr + V (R, ω A, ω B ) Monomer Hamiltonians (X = A, B): T X = A X (j X ) a + B X (j X ) b + C X (j X ) c Basis for bound level calculations χ n (R) D (J) MK (α, β, 0) m A,m B D (j A) m A k A (ω A ) D (j B) m B k B (ω B ) j A, m A ; j B, m B j AB, K

27 The permutation-inversion (PI) symmetry group For semi-rigid molecules Use Point Group of Equilibrium Geometry to describe the (normal coordinate) vibrations N.B. This point group is isomorphic to the P I group, which contains all feasible permutations of identical nuclei, combined with inversion E. Molecule Point group P I group C v {E, E, (), () } C 3v {E, (3), (3), (), (3), (3) }

28 Example: H O P I operation frame rotation point group operation () R z (π) = C z C z E R y (π) = C y σ xz reflection () R x (π) = C x σ yz reflection permutation frame rotation + point group rotation permutation-inversion frame rotation + reflection Hence: P I-group point group

29 For floppy molecules/complexes multiple equivalent minima in V low barriers: tunneling between these minima is feasible. additional feasible P I-operations Example NH 3 semi-rigid NH 3 P I(C 3v ) = {E, (3), (3), (), (3), (3) } + inversion tunneling (umbrella up down) P I(D 3h ) = P I(C 3v ) {E, E } Also (), (3), (3) and E are feasible Additional feasible P I-operations observable tunneling splittings in spectrum

30 For H O H O PI group G 6 = {E, P } {E, P 34 } {E, P AB } {E, E } Equilibrium geometry has C s symmetry 8-fold tunneling splitting of rovib levels

46 Conclusions CC-pol pure ab initio Predicts dimer spectra better than semi-empirical potentials fitted to these spectra Second virial coefficients in excellent agreement with experiment CC-pol + 3-body potential gives good trimer spectrum Simulations of liquid water with CC-pol + N-body forces predict the neutron and X-ray diffraction data equally well as the best empirical potentials fitted to these data Important role of many-body forces in liquid water Nearly tetrahedral coordination: 3.8 hydrogen bonds, only.8 with pure pair potential

47 General conclusion CC-pol, with the accompanying many-body interaction model, provides the first water force field that recovers the dimer, trimer, and liquid properties well

48 Latest development Water pair potential with flexible monomers: -dimensional X. Huang, B. J. Braams, and J. M. Bowman, J. Phys. Chem. A 0 (006) 445 Improved version (J. Chem. Phys., accepted) From CCSD(T) calculations in aug-cc-pvtz basis water dimer geometries. Accurate fit in terms of symmetry-adapted polynomials of scaled atom-atom distances. Produces even more accurate VRT levels of (H O) and (D O). Also acceptor splitting a 0 + a accurate in d calculations. Good VRT levels of (H O) 3 and (D O) 3 when 3-body interactions added.
