Torsional anharmonicity in the conformational analysis of tryptamine
Literature Information
David C. Clary
In this paper we calculate the relative conformer populations of the tryptamine molecule. Our approach combines high level electronic structure conformer energies with harmonic frequencies and an anharmonic treatment of the torsional motions using the torsional path integral Monte Carlo method. We have developed a 3-D potential energy surface as a function of the torsional coordinates at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level using 2535 grid points. Eight conformers of tryptamine were found to be significantly populated at 430 K as opposed to the experimental observation of seven. This, along with further comparisons with various experimental data, leads us to suppose that conformer interconversion occurs during the cooling phases of many of the experiments. The ordering of the calculated populations fits well with available experimental data. Torsional anharmonicity is found to affect conformer populations more significantly at 430 K than at 100 K (although overall the effects are small), while quantum mechanical effects are not important at either temperature.

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.
