Density functional calculations at B3LYP/DZVP were used to obtain structural information, relative free energies of different isomers and binding energies for the following reaction in the gas phase: M+ + (glycyl)nglycine → M–(glycyl)nglycine+, where M = Ag or Cu and n = 0–2. For the complexes with Cu+, optimizations were also performed at B3LYP/6–31++G(d,p) and single-point calculations at MP2(fc)/6–311++G(2df,2p)//B3LYP/DZVP. The calculated binding energies for the Cu+ complexes are all higher than those of the structurally similar Ag+ ions. These calculated binding energy differences become larger as the size of the ligand increases. For all the Cu+ complexes examined, the coordination number of the copper ion does not exceed two, whereas for the silver complexes tri- and tetracoordinate Ag+ structures are calculated to be at low energy minima. Significant structural and relative free energy differences occur between the lowest energy ‘zwitterionic ’ forms of the M–(glycyl)nglycine+ complexes.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
