We have developed a force field to describe the interaction of alkanethiols HS(CH2)n−1 CH3 (Cn for short) by fitting a set of ∼220 interaction energies for dimers of Cn (with n = 1,2,…6) and CH4 molecules obtained from second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory calculations. The derived force field, based on a sum of so-called exp-6 pairwise potentials and effective Coulomb interaction potential between the HS- heads, predicts very well the interaction energies for dimers and trimers of alkanethiols not included in the input database for the fit. Also the calculated minimum energy tilt angle of the alkyl chains for a hexagonal arrangement of alkanethiolates with a nearest neighbor distance of 5 Å is in good agreement with the available experimental data for a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on Au(111). Thus, the derived force field might be suitable for large-scale molecular dynamics and/or Monte Carlo simulations to predict the structure, stability and/or kinetics of SAMs on other surfaces.

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.
