Dispersion dominated halogen–π interactions: energies and locations of minima
Literature Information
Thomas Fox, Klaus R. Liedl, Christofer S. Tautermann
The interactions of halogen atoms with aromatic π-systems can be crucial for structural stability and ligand binding. However, many aspects of the nature and energetics of these interactions remain elusive. Therefore, we designed model systems mimicking the T-shaped complex of chloro- and bromobenzene with tyrosine as found, e.g., in serine protease-inhibitor complexes. Three dimensional potential energy surfaces (3D-PES) were calculated at a high level of theory, up to CCSD(T). On these 3D-PES the exact location of the minima and, even more important, the shape of favorable interaction regions were determined. We show that the height of the halogen atom above the tyrosine-ring is decisive, while the lateral position is of minor influence. Finally, a truncated harmonic potential is developed to modify the Amber/GAFF force field to shift the locations of the minima to the correct regions.

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.
