Simulation of liquid imidazole using a high-rank quantum topological electrostatic potential
Literature Information
Rigid body molecular dynamics simulations were carried out on pure liquid imidazole at four different temperatures and at 1 atm. Imidazole, which is important both in life science and materials science, is one of the simplest molecules to possess both a lone pair and a π system. These two features are known to benefit from multipolar electrostatics. Here the electrostatic interaction is governed by atomic multipole moments obtained from topologically partitioned ab initio electron densities. The non-electrostatic terms are modeled with Lennard-Jones parameters adjusted to fit the experimental liquid density. All σ values are incrementally increased by one single scaling factor. We report on how the presence of multipolar electrostatics influences the local structure, dynamics and thermodynamics of the liquid compared to electrostatics by atomic point charges. The point charge force field exaggerates the number of π-stacked dimers in the liquid, and underestimates the number of hydrogen-bonded dimers. The effect of the temperature on the local structure of liquid imidazole was analysed using radial and spatial distribution functions.

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.
