Water clusters to nanodrops: a tight-binding density functional study
Literature Information
Pere Miró, Christopher J. Cramer
We predict structures and energies of water clusters containing up to 100 waters with tight-binding density functional theory (DFTB). A per-hydrogen-bond energy correction is found to correct for systematic errors in the DFTB cluster energies. We compare the DFTB structures and energies to density functional theory (DFT) calculations and to the most accurate wave function theoretical (WFT) values available (ranging from coupled-cluster theory to second-order perturbation theory). After including the simple hydrogen bond correction, we achieve a root-mean-square difference of less than one kcal mol−1 with the best estimates. As DFTB optimizations are orders of magnitude faster than DFT or canonical MP2, it is apparent that DFTB is a very practical method for calculating large water cluster structures and, with the hydrogen bond correction, also energies.

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.
