1 Larger Molecules / Longer Time Scales Todd J. Martinez

2 Extending Quantum Chemistry Extend accuracy and/or size range of quantum chemistry? Remember the canon! Right Answer Electron Correlation Minimal Basis Set Full CI Minimal Basis Set/Hartree-Fock Complete Basis Set/Hartree-Fock Basis set

3 Taking the Canon Seriously Can we estimate the exact answer? Hypothesis: One- and Many-particle basis set contributions to energy are additive Implies that electron correlation and the flexibility of the electronic wfn are independent cannot be true Examples: Gaussian-2 (G2); Complete Basis Set (CBS) E = E + E E + E E ( ) ( ) extrapolated HF / SBS Corr / SBS HF / SBS HF / LBS HF / SBS = E + E E Corr / SBS HF / LBS HF / SBS These methods only work well when the SBS is big enough to qualitatively describe correlation, i.e. polarized double-zeta or preferably better Corr/SBS Extrapolated Corr/LBS G2/G3 Curtiss, et al. J. Phys. Chem (2001) CBS Montgomery, et al. J. Chem. Phys (2000) HF/SBS HF/LBS

4 Beyond the Canon Can consider a 3-dimensional version of the canon the new dimension is model size/faithfulness For example, consider the following sequence of models: CH 3 C H 2 O H H 3 C O H H O H Should not ask about total energy, but rather about energy differences, e.g. D e (OH) in the above examples. Always looking for E anyway total energies are not experimentally observable for molecules.

5 Extending the Canon - IMOMO Correlation Canon is now a cube Chemical Realism of Model Basis Set Again, assume additivity: E real/lbs/corr E small/sbs/hf + (E small/lbs/hf -E smal/sbs/hf )+ (E small/sbs/corr -E small/sbs/hf )+ (E real/sbs/hf -E small/sbs/hf ) Can be very sensitive to choice of small model Test thoroughly for your problem! Vreven, et al. J. Comp. Chem (2000)

6 IMOMO Simplified If we lump basis set and correlation method together, we can just write: E E + E E high, real low, real high,mod el low,model where high and low are the high-level and low-level methods and real and model are the target and truncated molecules Example: Proton Affinity See Lab this afternoon

7 IMOMO Example S N 2 Reaction Energy Re, et al. J. Phys. Chem. 105A, 7185 (2001)

8 IMOMO Example Errors of approx. 2 kcal/mol per solvent molecule in absolute energies; and 1-2 kcal/mol in reaction energetics

9 Multi-Level for Transition States? Simple variant of previous ideas Optimize w/low-level method (e.g. HF/3-21G) Energies w/high-level method (e.g. CCSD/cc-pvtz) Predict heat of reaction by difference of high-level E Why not do the same for TS?

10 Why do Rxns have Barriers? It s the electrons, Simple example: H 2 +H H+H 2 V ( R) VHH H( R) V12( R) = V12( R) VH H H( R) V H-H H H H H Adiabatic PES w/barrier Crudely approx d as constant V H H-H V ( R) = ψ Hˆ diabats, often reasonably approximated as harmonic ψ H H H H H H el H H H V ˆ 12( R) = ψh H HHelψH H H

11 Shift and Distort To see the point, we need to complicate things Consider XCH 3 + Y - X - + H 3 CY High-Level Low-Level Correlation and basis set affect frequency and relative energy of diabatic states H TS moves! X C Y H H

12 Hope springs eternal It turns out that the MEP does not change much Determine MEP at low-level first Search along low-level MEP for maximum to get estimate for high-level barrier height IRCMax High-Level Low-Level Malick, Petersson, and Montgomery, J. Chem. Phys (1998)

13 Empirical Valence Bond (EVB) Parameterize diabats and couplings One potential energy surface per bonding topology More potential energy surfaces, but advantage is that they are simpler than adiabatic surfaces Possible to incorporate solvent effects Disadvantages Diagonalize a matrix to get PES Number of diabats quickly gets large unless few reactions are allowed Proposed by Warshel and Weiss Recent applications Voth, Hammes-Schiffer, others Warshel, et al. J. Amer. Chem. Soc (1980) Cuma, et al. J. Phys. Chem (2001)

14 Large Molecules Directly Is there any way to solve electronic SE for large molecules w/o additivity approximations? O(N) Methods Divide and conquer Same ideas are applicable in ALL e - structure methods Generally harder to implement for correlated methods Available in commercial code (e.g. Qchem) Pseudospectral Methods Closely related to FFT methods in DFT and wavepacket dynamics

15 Pseudospectral Methods-Intro Integral Contractions are major bottleneck in Gaussian-based methods ˆ 2e χ 2 ˆ ˆ ( r) χ ( r) χ ( r) χ ( r ) F = p 1 q 1 r 2 s 2 Ji K ( ) = i i = = pq rs drdr 1 2 r r 2 e, J MO MO Fpq cir cis pq rs Prs pq rs irs rs ( ) ( ) 1 2 Try a numerical grid 2 ej, F = P A R R 2N 3 work! pq rs rsg pg qg grs = Rpg Rqg Prs Arsg g rs A R rsg = = χ N 4 work! χ r χ r r ( ) ( ) r 1 s 1 1 ( r ) pg p g r g dr 1

16 Pseudospectral Methods Problem: # grid pts scales w/molecular size, but prefactor is usually very large Pseudospectral Idea Don t think of numerical integration, but of transform between spaces Rψ spectral =ψ physical ψ spectral MO c 1 = MO c N Q must be R -1 ψ Qψ physical =ψ spectral physical ( r ) g1 ψ = ψ ( r ) gm R = χ ( r ) pg p g 1 ( t t Q S R wr) R w = Least-squares fitting matrix

17 Pseudospectral Performance PS advantage depends on Ng/N smaller is better Not useful for MBS/small molecules HF and Hybrid DFT, 10x faster/100 atoms Advantage partly additive w/locality local MP2 30x faster/100 atoms Only available in commercial code Jaguar (Schrödinger) (accessible at NCSA) Eg where PS-B3LYP optimization and PSLMP2 energy calculations are possible active site of cytochrome c oxidase Moore and Martínez, J. Phys. Chem. 104, 2367 (2000)

18 Quantum Effects Is there any need for quantum mechanics of nuclei in large molecules? Answer not completely known, but certainly yes for: Tunneling H + transfer Electronic Excited States Photo-chemistry/biology Classical mechanics only works with one PES?! What should happen

19 Traditional Methods Need to solve TDSE for nuclear wavefunction: i t ψ ( R, t) = H ˆψ ( R, t) Grid methods (Kosloff and Kosloff, J. Comp. Phys ) Solve TDSE exactly Require entire PES at every time step Only feasible for < 10 degrees of freedom Mean-Field (Meyer and Miller, J. Chem. Phys ) Classical Mechanics on Averaged PES Problematic if PES s are very different Vave( R, t) = ni ( t) Vi ( R) i electronic states E

20 Spawning Methods Classical mechanics guides basis set Adaptively increase basis set when quantum effects occur Best for t-localized quantum effects Effort N Classical Trajectories, size of N controls accuracy Ψ = ( ; ) I I R ( ) χ ( R; ) t C t t I I j j Nuclear wavefunction Electronic state j I j ( R; t ) χ = M. Ben-Nun and T. J. Martínez, Adv. Chem. Phys. 121, 439 (2002)
