Potential energy surface for cyclotrimethylene trinitramine dimer from symmetry-adapted perturbation theory‡
Literature Information
Robert Bukowski, Betsy M. Rice
We present a potential energy surface (PES) for the cyclotrimethylene trinitramine (RDX) dimer obtained using symmetry-adapted perturbation theory based on the Kohn–Sham density functional theory (DFT) description of the monomers [SAPT(DFT)]. More than a thousand dimer configurations were computed using an augmented double-zeta-quality basis set supplemented by bond functions. The ab initio interaction energies were used to obtain a six-dimensional analytic fit of the interaction PES. The geometries and energies of the minima on the PES have been found from the fit. The decomposition of the PES into physical components provided by the SAPT(DFT) method has been analyzed. The PES was then used in molecular dynamics simulations of the RDX crystal. The predicted crystal density is in an excellent agreement with experiment.

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.
