Abstract

A new procedure for full conformational analyses comprising the statistical analysis of molecular dynamics trajectories was developed and applied. This method included a coordinate space for sampling using molecular dynamics simulations, reduction of dimensionality using tensor decomposition tools, determination of probability distributions in a reduced space, and finally the search for all of the strict extrema points of probability distributions. These extracted extrema points formed an initial guess for geometry optimization and clustering of conformers. A complete conformational space of 1-oxaspiro[2,5]octane and its cis- and trans-4-, 5- and 6-methyl substituted derivatives was also determined. In each case, eight conformers were found with two chair-like conformers predominant at room temperature. It was found that chair-like conformers with an epoxide ring oxygen atom in the pseudo-axial position had less strain, as well as all of their conformers with the methyl substituent in an equatorial position on a cyclohexane moiety.

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.
