Abstract:

The stable structures, charge distributions and binding energies of cyclic methanol cluster(CH3OH)n(n=3—12) and [Na(CH3OH)n]+(n=3—6) were studied via ab initio and the atom bond electronegativity equalization fluctuating charge force field(ABEEMσπ/MM). Based on the ab initio results, the ABEEMσπ/MM fluctuating charge potential function were constructed and the related parameters were determined for the above systems. The results show that the structures, binding energies and other properties from ABEEMσπ/MM are in consistent with the ab initio calculation, and better than the OPLS/AA force field. The average absolute deviation(AAD) of bond length is less than 0.004 nm, and the relative root mean square deviations(RRMSDs) of bond length, bond angle and binding energy are less than 3.8%, 1.7% and 6.8%, respectively. The linear correlation coefficients of the charge distributions of ABEEMσπ/MM and ab initio calculation are all above 0.99.
