    We present benchmark calculations using the electron-positron correlation-polarization potential (CPP) method with the atomic polarizability model to evaluate the positron affinities of key categories of polyatomic hydrocarbons and water microclusters. The universal model parameter of the generalized gradient approximation for CPP is optimized based on the experimentally measured positron affinities of the representative hydrocarbon molecules. Using this method, the positron affinities and positron binding features of water clusters up to hexamers are investigated. The present CPP calculations revealed reasonable size-dependence on positron binding energies and conformer-dependent properties for each cluster size for these water clusters. The bound positrons are also trapped internally within cavities of the three-dimensional water clusters, similar to the behavior of bound excess electrons in water cluster anions. However, since the positronic binding energies are smaller than the electronic binding energies in water cluster anions, the bound positrons exhibit delocalized features extending into the electronegative oxygen atoms of the water molecules acting as the multiple hydrogen donor. Such behavior differs from the water cluster anions, resulting in isomeric conformational dependence.

    Mimicking the interconvertible carbon allotropes of 2-dimensional (2D) graphene and 1-dimensional (1D) carbon nanotubes (CNTs), herein we report the in situ transformation of 2D π-conjugated covalent organic frameworks (COFs) sheet into 1D nanotubular structures via self-assembly the sheets at solvent interfaces. The facile "roll-sheets" self-assembly resulted in coaxial nanotubes with uniform cross-sectional diameter, which was realized for diazapyrene-based COFs but not for the corresponding pyrene COF, although both possess similar chemical structures. Upon replacing the carbon atoms at 2,7-positions of pyrene with nitrogen, contrasting optical and electronic properties were realized, reflecting the rolled structure of the conjugated 2D sheets. The nanotubes exhibited concerted electronic- and proton-conducting nature with stable conducting pathways at ambient conditions. The nitrogen centers act simultaneously as the site for charge carrier doping and proton acceptors, as evidenced by the high photo- and electrical conductivity, as well as the record proton conductivity (σ = 1.98 S cm-1) results. The present diazapyrene-based 1D nanotubular COF serves as a unique materials platform with electronic conduction in the wall and proton conduction in the core, respectively.

  • Applicability of multicomponent quantum mechanical calculations for H/D isotope effects in electronic absorption spectra

    Abstract

    The applicability of multicomponent quantum mechanical (MC_QM) approach was assessed by calculating the H/D isotope effect on the electronic absorption spectra of small molecules. The calculated excitation energy of the water molecule increased upon H/D substitution, a trend consistent with the experimentally observed peak shift in the absorption cross-section. This increase in excitation energy was primarily attributed to changes in the highest occupied molecular orbital, driven by a reduction in nuclear quantum fluctuations due to isotope substitution. Similar trends were observed in the absorption spectra of ethylene, hexatriene, and biphenyl, reinforcing the generality of these findings. These results suggest that MC_QM is an efficient method for evaluating H/D isotope effects on ultraviolet–visible spectra without requiring vibrational analysis. Furthermore, the approach provides a clear connection between spectral changes and alterations in molecular orbitals induced by isotope substitution.

    Deuterium isotope effects on interaction energies and geometrical parameters in several H3O+(D3O+)…ene and H3O+(D3O+)…yne complexes, which involve O-H(D)…π interactions, have been analyzed using the MP2 level of the multi-component molecular orbital method (MC_MP2), which can incorporate the nuclear quantum effects of light nuclei, such as protons and deuterons. The MC_MP2 calculations revealed that D3O+ replacement reduced the interaction energies of the complexes and induced changes in geometrical parameters. In addition, natural energy decomposition analysis (NEDA) revealed a strong correlation between the H/D isotope effects on the H/D…π distances and on each energy component.

    Aromaticity is an important concept in organic chemistry, and thus, many theoretical and experimental studies have been conducted so far. However, the majority of theoretical studies have concentrated on the aromaticity of the stationary point structures. Herein, the influence of nuclear quantum fluctuation (nuclear quantum effects: NQEs) and thermal fluctuation on the aromaticity of benzene have been analyzed by path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) simulation. The PIMD simulations revealed that the NQEs affected not only the C-H bonds but also the C-C bonds. The HOMA and NICS calculations demonstrated that the aromaticity decreased due to the NQEs of carbon atoms, attributed to an increase in the contribution from specific vibrational modes strongly correlated with benzene's aromaticity.

  • Theoretical study of short-range exchange interaction based on semiconductor dielectric function model toward time-dependent dielectric density functional theory. International journal

    This study explores various models of semiconductor dielectric functions, with a specific emphasis on the large wavenumber spectrum and the derivation of the screened exchange interaction. Particularly, we discuss the short-range effect of the screened exchange potential. Our investigation reveals that the short-range effect originating from the high wavenumber spectrum is contingent upon the dielectric constant of the targeted system. To incorporate dielectric-dependent behaviors concerning the short-range aspect into the dielectric density functional theory (DFT) framework, we utilize the local Slater term and the Yukawa-type term, adjusting the ratio between these terms based on the dielectric constant. Additionally, we demonstrate the efficacy of the time-dependent dielectric DFT method in accurately characterizing the electronic structure of excited states in dyes and functional molecules. Several theoretical approaches have incorporated parameters dependent on the system to elucidate short-range exchange interactions. Our theoretical analysis and discussions will be useful for those studies.

    The theoretical modeling of high-pressure ice remains challenging owing to the complexity in accurately reflecting its properties attributable to nuclear quantum effects. To explore the nuclear quantum effects of the phase transition between Ice VII and Ice X, we introduce an approach based on ab initio path-integral molecular dynamics. The results indicate that quantum effects facilitate the phase transition, with the observed isotope effects consistent with the experimental outcomes. We demonstrate that quantum effects manifest differently across ice phases: In Ice VII, quantum effects reduce the pressure through the centralization of protons. In contrast, in Ice X, quantum effects increase the pressure owing to the increased kinetic energy of zero-point vibration.

    Abstract

    We analyzed the difference in the structural H/D isotope effect between an excess proton in light water (H-body) and an excess deuteron in heavy water (D-body), including the nuclear quantum effect, using path integral molecular dynamics simulations. We found that the second peak of the H-body is shorter than that of the D-body in the radial distribution function of O*–O, where O* is the oxygen atom of the H3O+/D3O+ fragment. The main reason for this would be the difference in the ratio of the Zundel structure with the sp3-like configuration, where the Zundel structure in the H-body (14.0%) is greater than that in the D-body (12.0%). We also found rare occurrences of double H3O+/D3O+ configurations, mainly including Zundel–Zundel-like structures such as H7O3+/D7O3+ and H9O4+/D9O4+. The ratios of such configurations appearing in our simulations are 0.89% and 0.20% for the H-body and the D-body, respectively.

    A positive Mu is a useful tool for investigating the spin density of radical species. The theoretical estimation of its behavior in a molecule requires the inclusion of a quantum effect due to the small mass of muonium. Herein, we performed ab initio a path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) simulation, which accurately included a multi-dimensional quantum effect, for muoniated 9H-xanthene-9-thione (μXT). Our results showed that the quantum effect significantly increased the hyperfine coupling constant (HFCC) value of μXT, which qualitatively improved the calculated HFCC value, compared to the experimental one. In the PIMD simulation, the bond length between muonium and sulfur in μXT is longer than that between hydrogen and sulfur in a hydrogenated 9H-xanthene-9-thione (HXT), leading to a spin density transfer from XT (9H-xanthene-9-thione) to muonium due to neutral dissociations. Additionally, we found that the S-Mu bond in μXT prefers a structure perpendicular to the molecular plane, where the interaction between Mu and the singly occupied molecular orbital of μXT is the strongest. These structural changes resulted in a larger HFCC value in the PIMD simulation of μXT.

    Extensive research has been recently conducted to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells. However, the charge carriers are easily trapped by the defect sites located at the interface between the perovskite layer and the electrode, which decreases the PCE. To reduce such defect sites, the passivation technique is frequently employed to coat small molecules on the perovskite surface during the manufacturing process. To clarify the passivation mechanism from a molecular viewpoint, we performed density functional theory calculations to target Pb-free Sn perovskites (CH3NH3SnI3). We investigated the passivation effect of Lewis base/acid molecules, such as ethylene diamine (EDA) and iodopentafluorobenzene (IPFB), and discussed behaviors of the defect levels within the bandgap as they have strong negative impacts on the PCE. The adsorption of EDA/IPFB on the Sn perovskite surface can remove the defect levels from the bandgap. Furthermore, we discuss the importance of interactions with molecular orbitals.

    Curcumin and its derivatives possess intramolecular low-barrier hydrogen bonds for intramolecular proton transfer. The π-delocalization in the OCCCO framework of the hydrogen bond in these compounds is reorganized concomitantly with the proton transfer. To characterize the hydrogen bond and π-delocalization, we performed path integral molecular dynamics simulations, revealing that although the proton migration and reorganization of the π-delocalized structure showed a positive correlation, the correlation was weak.

    To understand the mechanism of the H–D exchange reaction for synthesizing various deuterium-labeled molecules on heterogeneous metal catalysts as a first step, we analyzed the effects of H/D isotopes on the adsorption of H2O/D2O and their dissociated OH/OD and H/D species on the Pt(111) surface. We applied the combined plane-wave and localized basis set method developed by us to directly treat the electronic structures of the surface and the localized adsorbed region and the nuclear quantum effect of H and D. The results showed that the adsorption energies for the D-compounds on the Pt surface were larger than those for the H-compounds. This is in keeping with the experimental observations. The difference in the distance between the adsorbates and the Pt surface induced by the H/D isotope effect depends on the bonding characteristics. While the distance between D2O and the Pt surface was longer than that in the H2O case, the distance between the D atom and the Pt surface was shorter than that for the H atom. This is the first report on the geometrical differences between H and D based on a systematic analysis of water and its dissociated species.

    We studied the stability of a system consisting of a positron (e+) and two lithium anions, [Li-; e+; Li-], using first-principles quantum Monte Carlo calculations combined with the multi-component molecular orbital method. While diatomic lithium molecular dianions Li22- are unstable, we found that its positronic complex can form a bound state with respect to the lowest energy decay into the dissociation channel Li2- and a positronium (Ps). The [Li-; e+; Li-] system has the minimum energy at the internuclear distance of ∼3 Å, which is close to the equilibrium internuclear distance of Li2-. At the minimum energy structure both an excess electron and a positron are delocalized as orbiting around the Li2- molecular anion core. A dominant feature of such a positron bonding structure is described as the Ps fraction bound to Li2-, unlike the covalent positron bonding scheme for the electronically isovalent [H-; e+; H-] complex.

    Path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) simulations for C6H6, C6D6, and C6T6 have been carried out to directly estimate the distribution of projected C-H(D,T) bond lengths onto the principal axis plane. The average values of raw C-H(D,T) bond lengths obtained from PIMD simulations are in the order of ⟨RC-H⟩ > ⟨RC-D⟩ > ⟨RC-T⟩ due to the anharmonicity of the potential energy curve. However, the projected C-H(D,T) bond lengths are almost the same as those reported by Hirano et al. [J. Mol. Struct. 2021, 1243, 130537]. Our PIMD simulations directly and strongly support the explanation by Hirano et al. for the experimental observations that almost the same projected C-H(D) bond lengths are found for C6H6 and C6D6. The PIMD simulations also predicted the same projected bond lengths for C6T6 as those of C6H(D)6. In addition to the previous local mode analysis, the present PIMD simulations predicted, for benzene isotopologues, that the vibrationally averaged structure is planar but non-flat.

    Gaining insight into the encapsulation mechanism is important for controlling the encapsulation rate toward the self-assembly of gear-shaped amphiphile molecules (GSAs). To this aim, we conducted molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for three different hexameric nanocubes (1612+, 2612+, and 3612+) of GSAs (12+, 22+, and 32+, respectively) to elucidate the quantitative structure-property relationship between the stability of the nanocubes and the rate of encapsulation of a guest molecule. The 12+, 22+, and 32+ monomers differ from each other in the number of methyl groups, having three, zero, and two methyl groups, respectively. The 3612+ hexamer has methyl groups only on the equatorial region. In the cases of the simulations of 1612+ and 3612+, the cubic structures are maintained due to a tight triple-π stacking around the equator region. Meanwhile, 2612+ deforms easily due to the occurrence of a large fluctuation. These results indicate that the methyl groups on the equator are crucial to stabilize the nanocubes. The encapsulation of an iodide ion as a guest molecule is revealed to occur through the pole region via a gap that is easily formed in the nanocubes without methyl groups on the poles. Our study clearly suggests that self-assembled nanocubes can be designed to attain a specific stability and encapsulation efficiency simultaneously.

    The nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) in dihydrogen bond (DHB) complexes, i.e., NH4+⋯BeH2 and NH4+⋯MgH2, have been investigated using multicomponent quantum mechanics (MC_QM) calculations and path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) simulation. The MC_QM method considers the NQEs, whereas PIMD considers both the NQEs and the thermal effects. The linear C3v structure is maintained in the optimized structures obtained by the static MP2 and MC_MP2 calculations, whereas the average structures obtained by the PIMD simulation are nonlinear. The strong DHB interaction in NH4+⋯MgH2 suppresses the fluctuation in the Hδ+NMg and Hδ-MgN angles, and hence, the NH4+ rotation did not occur in the simulation of NH4+⋯MgH2. The analysis of the radius of gyration revealed that the nuclear quantum fluctuation in the perpendicular direction is suppressed by the formation of the DHB complex, whereas that in the parallel direction is slightly enhanced in both the Hδ+ and Hδ- nuclei.

    Recently, deuterium-labeled drugs, such as deutetrabenazine, have attracted considerable attention. Consequently, understanding the reaction mechanisms of deuterium-labeled drugs is crucial, both fundamentally and for real applications. To understand the mechanisms of H- and D-transfer reactions, in this study, we used deuterated anisole as a deutetrabenazine model and computationally considered the nuclear quantum effects of protons, deuterons, and electrons. We demonstrated that geometrical differences exist in the partially and fully deuterated methoxy groups and hydrogen-bonded structures of intermediates and transition states due to the H/D isotope effect. The observed geometrical features and electronic structures are ascribable to the different nuclear quantum effects of protons and deuterons. Primary and secondary kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) were calculated for H- and D-transfer reactions from deuterated and undeuterated anisole, with the calculated primary KIEs in good agreement with the corresponding experimental data. These results reveal that the nuclear quantum effects of protons and deuterons need to be considered when analyzing the reaction mechanisms of H- and D-transfer reactions and that a theoretical approach that directly includes nuclear quantum effects is a powerful tool for the analysis of H/D isotope effects in H- and D-transfer reactions.

    Despite the fact that the positron annihilation has been used in biomedical applications, the detailed mechanism of the positron annihilation on biological molecules remains poorly understood so far. In this work, we investigated the positron binding and positron annihilation properties for both global minimum and hydrogen-bonded structures of 20 amino acid molecules using the multicomponent molecular orbital method. By regression analysis, we confirmed that positron affinity can increase with an increase of the permanent dipole moment of the parent amino acids as reported in previous studies, while the annihilation rate linearly increases with respect to the square root of positron affinity. By the one-particle property analyses for probabilities of electron-positron contacts, we found that delocalization characteristics of both electrons and positrons play key roles to enhance the positron annihilation rate arising from both the valence electrons in σ- and π-type molecular orbitals from 2p atomic orbitals but not from the highest occupied molecular orbital electrons, particularly for comparatively weakly bound positronic amino acid systems.

    In this work, the excitation energies of asymmetric thiazolothizaole (TTz) dye molecules have been theoretically studied using dielectric-dependent density functional theory (DFT). In the dielectric-dependent DFT approach, the ratio (fraction) of the nonlocal Hartree exchange term incorporated into the DFT exchange-correlation functional is a system-dependent parameter, which is inversely proportional to the dielectric constant of the target material. The dielectric-dependent DFT method is closely related to the Coulomb hole and screened exchange (COHSEX) approximation in the GW method and therefore has been applied to crystalline systems with periodic boundary conditions, such as semiconductors and inorganic materials. By focusing on the solvatofluorochromic phenomena of asymmetric TTz dyes, we show that excitation energy calculations obtained from the dielectric-dependent DFT method can reproduce the corresponding experimental UV-vis absorption and emission spectra of dyes in solvents.

    The positronic bound state for the non-polar carbon disulfide (CS2) has been experimentally identified, although previous theoretical investigations, which were dedicated to studying the positronic CS2 monomer, could not reasonably reproduce the experimentally measured positron affinity. In the present study, we performed analysis of the vibrational averaged positron affinity for the positronic CS2 dimer, [C2S4; e+], using the Hartree-Fock and configuration interaction levels of the multi-component molecular orbital method combined with the self-consistent field level of the vibrational variational Monte Carlo method. We demonstrated that the equilibrium structure of the non-polar C2S4 can have the positronic bound state with a positron affinity of about 46.18 meV in the configuration interaction level, while this is 0 meV in the Hartree-Fock level. Furthermore, by taking into account the vibrational effect, we succeeded in reproducing the resonant positron kinetic energies lying close to the experimental value, where the vibrational averaged positron affinity becomes greater with an increased dipole moment and dipole polarizability. We also showed possible mechanisms to effectively enhance the resonant positron capture for [C2S4; e+], associated with both the infrared active and infrared inactive vibrational modes.

    The H/D isotope effect in the CH···O interactions of several systems is systematically analyzed to determine whether it exerts control over reaction selectivity. Our theoretical study demonstrates that deuterium substitution has a negligible effect on CH···O interactions; thus, reaction selectivity likely cannot be controlled by the H/D isotope effect in these CH···O interactions.

  • First-principles quantum Monte Carlo studies for prediction of double minima for positronic hydrogen molecular dianion Invited Reviewed International journal

    We studied the positron (e+) interaction with the hydrogen molecular dianion H2 2- to form the positronic bound state of [H-; e+; H-] using the first-principles quantum Monte Carlo method combined with the multi-component molecular orbital one. H2 2- itself is unstable, but it was shown that such an unbound H2 2- may become stable by intermediating a positron and forming the positronic covalent bond of the [H-; e+; H-] system [J. Charry et al., Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 57, 8859-8864 (2018)]. We newly found that [H-; e+; H-] has double minima containing another positronic bound state of [H2; Ps-]-like configuration with the positronium negative ion Ps- at the bond distance approximately equal to the equilibrium H2 molecule. Our multi-component variational Monte Carlo calculation and the multi-component configuration interaction one resulted in the positronic covalent bonded structure being the global minimum, whereas a more sophisticated multi-component diffusion Monte Carlo calculation clearly showed that the [H2; Ps-]-like structure at the short bond distance is energetically more stable than the positronic covalent bonded one. The relaxation due to interparticle correlation effects pertinent to Ps- (or Ps) formation is crucial for the formation of the Ps-A2-like structure for binding a positron to the non-polar negatively charged dihydrogen.

    Positron binding energies (PBEs) of 41 polyatomic molecules were calculated using the positron-electron correlation-polarization potential (CPP) approach and compared with experimentally measured values. In this approach, the short-range positron-electron potential is modeled using the density-functional expression, whereas the long-range potential is approximated by the attractive polarization potential. The positron-electron CPP model based on local-density approximation yields larger PBEs than experimental values; however, the calculated values can be substantially improved by introducing generalized gradient approximation. We also investigated the conformational dependence of PBEs for representative molecules.

    Recently, organic donor-acceptor (D-A) cocrystals have attracted special interest as functional materials because of their unique chemical and physical properties that are not exhibited by simple mixtures of their components. Herein, we report the preparation of one-dimensional novel D-A cocrystals from C60 and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)porphyrin (3,5-TPP); these cocrystals have near-infrared (NIR) light-sensing abilities, despite each of their component molecule individually having no NIR light-sensing properties. Micrometer-sized rectangular columnar C60-3,5-TPP cocrystals were produced by a simple liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation method. The cocrystals exhibit a new strong transition in the NIR region indicative of the existence of charge-transfer interactions between C60 and 3,5-TPP in the cocrystals. The C60-3,5-TPP cocrystals showed n-type transport characteristics with NIR light-sensing properties when the cocrystals were incorporated in bottom-gate/bottom-contact organic phototransistors, revealing that organic cocrystals with suitable charge-transfer interaction are useful as functional materials for the creation of novel NIR-light-sensing devices.

    We analyzed the monohydration effect on the hydrogen-bonded structure between the adenine-thymine base pair using path integral molecular dynamics simulations including the nuclear quantum and thermal effects. We focused on two monohydration models for an adenine-thymine base pair with a water molecule bound to each adenine and thymine site. The adenine-thymine base pair without a water molecule was also discussed to reveal the role of a water molecule in monohydrated models. We found that the monohydration effect varies depending on the location of the water molecule. The monohydration effect on the inter-molecular motions is also investigated using the principle component analysis. The monohydration alters the inter-molecular motions of adenine-thymine base pair. We found that the nuclear quantum effect on the motion depends on the positions of the bound water molecule. The nuclear quantum effect on the hydrogen-bonded structure of adenine, thymine and water molecules is rather small, but we found significantly large nuclear quantum effect on the inter-molecular motions of the monohydrated base pair systems.

    We carried out ab initio path integral molecular dynamics simulations at room temperature for OH-(H2O)(n) (n = 1, 2) clusters to elucidate the ionic hydrogen bond structure with full thermal and nuclear quantum effects. We found that the hydrogen-bonded proton is located near the water molecule in the case of n = 2, while the proton is located at the center between hydroxide ion and the water molecule in the case of n = 1. Thus, the solvated hydroxide structure HO-H center dot center dot center dot OH is found in n = 2, while the proton sharing hydroxide structure HO center dot center dot center dot H center dot center dot center dot OH is in n = 1. We found that the nature of hydrogen bonds significantly changes with the number of water molecules around the hydroxide. We also compared these results with those of F-(H2O)(n) (n = 1, 2) clusters.

  • Geometric Isotope Effect on Low Barrier Hydrogen-Bonding Systems of Acetic Acid Dimer, Formic Acid Dimer, and Their Anionic Clusters by Using the Multi-Component Molecular Orbital Method Reviewed

    Language:English   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)   Publisher:Society of Computer Chemistry, Japan  

    The geometric isotope effect (GIE) on low barrier hydrogen-bonded systems of acetic acid dimer, formic acid dimer, and their anion clusters is analyzed by HF and hybrid DFT levels of the multi-component molecular orbital (MC_MO) method, which directly includes nuclear quantum effect of proton/deuteron. Our optimized geometries for both neutral and anionic species with HF level of MC_MO method have reproduced the overall tendency of the GIE of the corresponding experimental ones. On the other hand, the results for anionic clusters with hybrid BHandHLYP functional of MC_MO method give poor agreement due to the underestimation of the barrier height of hydrogen-bonding. Our multi-component analysis clearly demonstrates that the hydrogen-bonding interaction energy is strongly affected by the distribution of nuclear wavefunction.

    To elucidate the adequate molecular exponents for sp<SUP>3</SUP>-, sp<SUP>2</SUP>-, and sp-hybrid characters, we have performed the optimization for both geometry and Gaussian-type function (GTF) exponents using various hydrocarbon molecules. We have found that the scale factor 1.2 is significant for the p-type GTFs in sp<SUP>3</SUP>-carbon, as well as hydrogen. The optimized molecular exponents give a flexible description of σ and π bonds in C-C chemical bonds induced by the difference of hybrid states. We also confirmed the efficiency of our calculation concerning the total energy and geometrical parameters in comparison with the results using the high quality basis sets.

  • Systematic Improvement of Energy- Components by Simultaneous Optimization of Exponents and Centers of Gaussian-Type Function Basis Sets for Molecular Self-Consistent-Field Wave Functions Reviewed

    Language:English   Publisher:Society of Computer Chemistry, Japan  

    We have applied the fully variational molecular orbital (FVMO) method to systematically improve the values of energy-components, that is, the kinetic energy of electron and potential energy, as with that of total energy. The FVMO method enables us to describe accurate values of energy-components, since the quantum-mechanical Virial and Hellmann-Feynman theorems are completely satisfied due to the optimization of the exponents and centers in Gaussian-type functions (GTFs) basis sets. In the calculation of H<SUB>2</SUB> molecule, we have found that the energy components and total energy with FVMO method using only [6s] GTFs are actually improved more than those with the conventional MO using a much larger basis set including the multiple polarization functions of [6s3p2d1f]. Additionally, drastic improvement of virial ratios for several hydride molecules with the FVMO method is demonstrated in the current work. The energy-component analysis using the FVMO method would be a powerful tool to elucidate various chemical problems.

    Language:English   Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal)  

    In order to investigate the HD isotope effect on a dihydrogen bonded cation system, we have studied NH+4...BeH2 and its isotopomers by ab initio path integral molecular dynamics. It is found that the dihydrogen bond can be exchanged by NH+(4) rotation. The deuterated isotopomer (ND+(4)...BeD(2); DD) can exchange the dihydrogen bond more easily than other isotopomers such as (NH+4...BeH2; HH). This unusual isotope effect is ascribed to the "quantum localization" which occurs when the effective energy barrier for the rotational mode becomes higher by the zero point energy of other modes. We also found that the binding energy of dihydrogen bonds for DD species is the smallest among the isotopomers.

In the all-atom calculation of hydrogen encapsulated in C60 fullerene, which was also performed for verification of large-scale parallel calculation, we found that molecular vibration by the nuclear quantum effect affects the internal magnetic field of C60 fullerene. In addition, we studied on the hydrogen-bonded complex molecular systems, and we are preparing to present the results.

    In order to elucidate the mechanism of H/D isotope effect on the binding of a positron to polyatomic molecules theoretically, we have developed a new anharmonic vibrational state theory based on quantum Monte Carlo method, and have applied our theory to the hydrogen cyanide and formaldehyde molecules. Analyzing positron affinities (PA), which is the binding energy of a positron to molecules, at vibrational excited states, we found (i) a negative H/D isotope shift on the PA value for hydrogen cyanide molecule, and (ii) a positive H/D isotope shift for formaldehyde molecule. We also confirmed that the physical origin of such isotope effects is mainly the change in the permanent dipole moments by vibrational excitations.

    超分子・生体分子の量子化学計算により、領域内共同研究の研究成果を挙げただけでなく、若手の会やサイエンスカフェなどによるアウトリーチ活動も積極的に参画し、本新学術研究領域の推進に貢献してきた。以下、代表的な研究成果として、本領域研究計画班メンバーとの3件の共同研究成果を述べる。
    平岡教授との共同研究: 平岡らは、メチル基を持つ歯車状両親媒性分子(1)が、25%含水メタノール溶媒中で一義的に立方体(16)に自己集合することを見出した。一方で純粋なメタノール溶媒中は自己集合をしないことも見出した。本研究では自己集合が見られないメタノール溶媒中の16の立方体構造崩壊過程を長時間分子動力学計算により追った。その結果、短時間分子動力学計算でみられた水素置換基の立方体構造崩壊と類似した崩壊過程を示すことがわかった。
    上久保准教授との共同研究: 上久保らは、Photoactive Yellow Protein (PYP) におけるGlu46とp-coumaric acidの間で、低障壁水素結合を形成していることを見出した。昨年度、ONIOM (MC_QM:MM)法を用いた量子化学計算を行うことで、核の量子揺らぎによって、実験で観測されたのと同様な結合伸長が起きることを実証した。本年度、大規模な非調和振動計算を実施することにより、構造に関する同位体効果(幾何学的同位体効果)を再現することにも成功した。
    加藤教授、神谷講師との共同研究: 加藤、神谷らは、methyl-α-D-glucopyranosideの円偏光二色性(CD)スペクトルのH/D同位体シフトを実験的に見出した。そこで我々は、当初研究計画にはなかったものの、ONIOM (MC_QM:MM)法を用いた量子化学計算を行うことで、その発現機構を解明した。

    これまで我々は、従来の第一原理計算だけでは直接取込むことのできない、水素原子核やミューオン、陽電子の量子揺らぎも含めた量子多成分系分子理論を展開してきた。具体的には、分子軌道(MO)法や、量子モンテカルロ(QMC)法、さらには密度汎関数(DFT)法に基づく手法と、経路積分法に基づいた、量子多成分系分子理論手法である。本研究課題では、このような量子多成分系分子理論を深化させ、計算機科学との融合を含めて、物質デザインへの展開を探る。本年度は、以下に示す研究項目を実施した。
    <BR>
    ①量子多成分系分子理論の深化:大規模系への拡張のため、経路積分法におけるポテンシャルの評価に、半経験的分子軌道法やDFTB法を実装することで計算コストを抑えることに成功した。併せて経路積分法における並列技法への実装も行った。それらの開発により、より効率的に計算を実施することを可能とした。

    In this study, we could get the new knowledge from the following three themes, focusing on fluid dynamics in confined nano-spaces from a viewpoint of quantum-molecular dynamics. Firstly, some promising methods are suggested to obtain the detailed information of DNA molecules, where elongation and separation of biomacromolecules were realized by effectively applying electrokinetic phenomena in nanofluidic channels. Secondly, transport phenomena induced by ion concentration difference and electroosmotic flow in nanopore devices were successfully detected by developing electrical measurement systems, and our results could contribute to the expansion of single molecule analysis technologies. Furthermore, a fundamental platform to clarify the neural transmission mechanism in cells and organelles was established. Thirdly, we succeeded to theoretically predict reaction dynamics by quantum mechanical approaches and achieved deep understanding on nano-scaled ion transport phenomena.

    平成21年度は、経路積分分子動力学(PIMD)法を用いて、ab initio経路積分法を用いた低障壁水素結合クラスター(N_2H_7^+, H_3O_2^-)の計算、およびsemi-empirical経路積分法(半経験的分子軌道法による経路積分法)を用いたグリシン水クラスター(Gly・(H_2O)_n(n=2-7))の計算を実現した。いずれも水素原子核の量子効果が顕著に効き、大きなH/D同位体効果が生じることを見出した。
    グリシン分子は水溶液中では双生イオン構造が安定であることが知られているが、気相中では中性構造が安定である。グリシン分子の水和過程におけるプロトン移動機構の解明を目指し、経路積分法を用いてグリシン水クラスターGly・(H_2O)_nを解析した。カルボキシル基と二つの水分子からなる環状の水素結合ネットワークが構成され、水素原子が大きく揺らいでいる様子が解った。また水分子が増えると、n=4-6で多段階でのプロトン交換が、n=7で双生イオン構造を示す分布が得られた。

    ハイブリッドモンテカルロ(HMC)法は、MC法における試行配置生成の過程をMD法で置き換える手法である。これにより、MD法の利点である1ステップで全核配置を更新できることが可能となる。しかしながら単純に4次のTrotter展開をHMC法に適用すると、二階微分の計算が必要となり計算コストが高くなってしまう。そこで、試行配置生成に2次のTrotter展開の力と、採択・棄却に4次の有効ポテンシャルを組み合わせることで、新しい経路積分ハイブリッドモンテカルロ(PIHMC)法を開発した。本手法を水素分子に適用したところ、2次展開では収束に128ビーズが必要であるのに対し、4次展開では16ビーズで収束し、さらに4次PIHMC法では二階微分の計算を回避することで、劇的に計算コストを抑えることができた。そこで本手法を用いて、フッ化物イオンー水クラスターの同位体構造を解析した。その結果、幾何学的同位体効果として、フッ素-酸素間距離はD体の方がH体に比べ長くなることを見出した。水素結合構造の水の配位数依存性として、配位数が増加するにつれフッ素-酸素間距離は長くなる一方、酸素-水素結合水素の距離は、短くなることも解った。

    水素結合系やプロトン(水素)移動反応など,多くの化学反応過程において原子核の量子力学的性質が重要であることが見出されている。本研究では,電子核混合系を量子力学的に取り扱うため,第一原理経路積分分子動力学(ab initio path integral molecular dynamics(PIMD))法の開発,実装,および具体的応用計算を実行した。ab initio PIMD法では,断熱近似のもとで非経験的に電子状態を解きつつ(on the fly),経路積分による核の量子効果を考慮することが可能となる。本研究ではプロトン移動反応のモデルとして,1)アンモニウムクラスターイオンの最小単位であるN_2H_7^+の同位体効果,溶媒効果を考慮するために2)QMMM/PIMD法の開発,を行った。
    1)N_2H_7^+の同位体効果:
    N_2H_7^+およびその重水素置換体の計算を実行した。平衡構造は,片方のN原子にH^*が寄った構造であり,H^*がNN間の中央に位置した構造が遷移状態となる。ab initio PIMD計算を実行すると,N_2H_7^+ではNN間の中央に緩やかなーつのピークを持つ分布となった。これは量子効果,温度効果によって,ポテンシャルの障壁を超えることが出来たためであり,実験から示唆されている内容と一致するものである。一方,N_2D_7^+では二つのピークが現れた。これは重水素化によって核の量子効果が弱くなり,障壁を完全には越えることが出来ないためである。またR_NNの期待値はN_2H_7^+で2.678AN_2D_7^+で2.687Aとなり,N_2D_7^+の方が長くなった。これは,結晶におけるUbbelohde効果に相当すると考えられる。
    2)QM/MM-PIMD法の開発:
    溶媒効果を取り込んだab initio PIMD計算や大規模系計算を可能とするために,QM/MM法に基づく経路積分分子動力学(QM/MM-PIMD)法を実装した。具体的にはQM/MM法の一種であるONIOM法をPIMD法に組み込み,N_2H_7^+イオンに水分子が付加したN_2H_7^+(H_2O)_Nクラスターの計算を実行した。中心のN_2H_7^+に対してMP2/6-31++G^<**>,水分子に対してPM3で評価した。N_2H_7^+だけの場合と異なり,水分子を付加することにより,中心水素の位置が大きく片寄った構造にピークが現れた。現在,水分子をさらに増やした計算を実行し,プロトン水和の量子効果やH/D同位体効果の詳細を探っている。

    Recently, we have been developing some new first-principles approaches which treat multi component systems including both electrons and nuclei(positron)quantum-mechanically. To include the new many-body contribution such as electron-nuclei and nuclei-nuclei correlations, we have developed(1)multi-component density functional theory (MC DFT) and (2) multi-component quantum Monte Carlo (MC QMC)methods.
    1.Development of MC DFT: We have defined Kohn-Sham operators for multi-component DFT (MC DFT) ,and derived analytical equations for total energy and gradient with respect to classical nuclear coordinates. Using MC DFT method, we have analyzed the H/D isotope effect of porphine and porphycene molecules with electron correlation, and confirmed that our results are in reasonable agreement with the corresponding experimental values. In the HD-species which replaced an inner-hydrogen to a deuterium, such high-symmetric geometries are broken down and the induced electronic polarization drastically changes the dipole moment values. These results clearly indicate that the difference of quantum nature between proton and deuteron influences the electronic structure and molecular geometry. Tb improve accuracy of our MC (HF+DFT) method, we have also developed a new electron-nucleus correlation functional based on the Colle-Salvetti correlation functional.
    2.Development of MC QCM: In order to analyze the positron-molecular compounds with quantitative accuracy, we have developed the multi-component quantum Monte Carlo (MC QMC) method, and applied to the positronic compounds of[H: e+]1 and [HCN: e^+]systems. Although the variational Monte Carlo calculation gives poor results in the case of [H: e^+] system, the diffusion Monte Carlo result is in good agreement with that by Hylleraas-type wave function. Our result of -0.788949 (82) hartree is much lower than that using the full-configuration interaction method with one-centered Gaussian type basis functions. In the case of [HCN: e^+]system, to our knowledge, the most accurate energy is reported as -92.901915 hartree in 2006 by Strasburg. On the other hand, we have obtained -93.2591 (5) and -93.39830 (8) hartree by VMC and DMC method, and achieved the WORLD RECORD variational energy!

    We have developed a novel laser desorption method in combination with the supersonic-jet technique for producing cold isolated clusters of the DNA bases and their hydrated clusters. This method is found to be especially effective in producing hydrated clusters of the nonvolatile molecules and thus useful in the microscopic understanding of hydration structures of DNA. The results show that excited-state dynamics of the base pairs are strongly dependent on the tautomers of the respective bases. For example, the purine base guanine reveals a tautomers of the canonical form whose excited-state lifetime is on the order of subpicosecond while other tautomers of non-canonical forms have nanosecond lifetimes. Furthermore, excited-state dynamics of adenine are altered significantly upon hydration. This is explained by the ultrafast relaxation of the initially excited state to a low-lying excited state and subsequent dissociation. This is found to be consistent with the result for 2-aminopurine in which no ultrafast dynamics occurs and thus is known to be strongly fluorescent.
    We have also succeeded in producing hydrated clusters of the DNA nucleoside guanosines with high efficiency by employing this desorption technique. This is the first report of the observation of cold hydrated clusters of the nucleosides under isolated conditions. The electronic spectra of guanosines are found to be significantly red-shifted upon hydration, suggesting that the excited state-dynamics are affected by the solvation.
    This laser desorption technique is expected to be effective for vaporizing thermally fragile biomolecules

    本年度は、昨年度に引き続き、プロトン・電子混合系を量子力学的に取り扱うための基礎理論を開発し、具体的な並列化プログラムコードの作成、およびいくつかの応用計算を実行した。
    1.ab initio経路積分法の並列化:
    経路積分法は、N体の原子核の量子問題をN×P体(P:ビーズの数)の原子核の古典問題に置き換える手法であるので、P台の並列計算機の導入により、計算効率が向上することが期待される。そこで昨年度購入した並列計算機および本学教育用の計算機(合計24ノード)に本手法を移植するため、ab initio経路積分法のプログラムコードを並列化対応に書き換えた。既存設備であるPentium 4/2.6GHzマシン単体では、一つのH_3O^+イオンを計算する(30,000step,300K)のに2ヶ月以上の計算時間が必要とされたが、24並列計算機の導入により同レベルの計算が2日余りで終わり、飛躍的な並列化効率を確認することができた。
    2.ab initio経路積分法の水和クラスターへの応用:
    本手法は、経路積分法と高精度ab initio分子軌道法を組み合わせることで、核の量子効果だけでなく温度効果も同時に取り込むことを可能とする。最も単純なH^+イオンの水和クラスターである、H_3O^+イオンにおけるH/D同位体効果、温度効果を詳細に解析した。非調和性の効果により、OH距離はOD距離よりも長くなった。またhを3つの水素原子からなる平面とO原子間との距離とすると、H_3O^+イオンのhは、D_3O^+イオンのhより短くなっており、H_3O^+イオンはより遷移状態に近い構造をとることがわかった。従来の調和振動子に基づく解析では、このような幾何学的同位体効果、温度効果を表現することはできない。酸素原子の同位体置換体(H_3^<18>O^+イオン)においては、OH距離はH_3O^+イオンのOH距離と近い値を持つのに対し、hはむしろD_3O^+イオンの場合と似た値をとるという、大変興味深い結果が得られた。また、同位体効果が電子状態に与える影響も見出した。以上の成果を、Journal of Chemical Physics誌に報告した。

    1.多体効果を考慮した多成分分子軌道法の開発: 多種粒子状態を精密に求めるためには、電子相関だけでなく電子・核相関といった、異なる粒子間での多体効果を評価する必要がある。本年度は、多成分分子軌道法に対して配置間相互作用法を応用することにより、このような多体効果を取り込むことを試みた。小さな分子用のプログラムを作成し、具体的に水素分子同位体に関して計算したところ、本手法は実験値を充分に再現することを見出した。以上の詳細を、Chem. Phys. Lett.誌に報告した。
    2.陽電子化合物の具体的計算: 「中性分子に陽電子が付着されるか?」というテーマで、双極子モーメントの大きな分子に陽電子を付着させた計算を実行した。理論的には、1.625D以上の双極子モーメントを有する分子には、陽電子が付着されるはずであるが、平均場近似レベルでの分子軌道計算では、少なくとも3.0D以上の双極子モーメントが必要であるという計算結果を得た。この原因は、多体効果が充分に含まれていないためである。現在、多原子分子にも適用でき得る高精度な理論およびプログラムを開発中である。以上の詳細を、Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research B誌に報告した。
    3.強酸水和クラスターの応用: ハロゲン化水素分子であるHClおよびHBrは強酸であるが、HFは弱酸であることが知られている。この原因を解明するために、昨年度開発した「多成分分子軌道法」を強酸水和クラスターに適用した。HClおよびHBr水クラスターでは、酸解離構造が安定構造であるのが見出されたが、HFでは酸解離の安定構造を見出すことができなかった。また、重水素化により解離しにくいという結論を得た。強酸水和クラスターに関する同位体効果の詳細を、Mol. Phys.誌に報告した。

    Photochemistry of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) : Time-resolved absorption and time-resolved Raman spectra of the T_1 state, anion radical and semiquinone radical of FMN were measured. It was shown that semiquinone radical was generated from the T_1 state via the anion radical.
    Photochemistry of psoralen and its derivatives : Time-resolved Raman and absorption spectra of these compounds were measured. It was found that the yield of theT_1 state of 8-MOP is much too low compared to those of PS and 5-MOP. This is most probably related to the fact that the photoallergy and phototoxicity of 8-MOP is much smaller than those of PS and 5-MOP.
    Photochemistry of bilirubin : Transient absorption bands were observed at 450 and 415 nm by *adiation of bilirubin with 308 nm light. The transient band at 450 nm having the lifetime of 260 ns can be assigned to the T_1, state, because it is quenched by oxygen. The identity of the transient exhibiting 415 nm band and having the lifetime of 17μs is not clarified as yet.
    Photochemistry of nicotinamideadenine dinucleotide (NADH) : The photooxydation reaction of this compound proceeds with the following three steps : (1) generation of cation radical NADH^+ by ejection of an electron. (2) generation of neutral radical NAD by proton transfer. (3) generation of NAD^+ by an electron ejection.
    Photochemistry of ortho-nitrobenzyl compounds : This photoreaction is initiated with the abstraction of a hydrogen atom by the ortho-nitro group from the methylene group to generate aci-nitroacid. In polar solvents the acinitro acid dissociates into the acinitro anion and a proton which combines to the 2-pyridyl group or 4-nitro group to yield ortho-quinoid or para-acinitro acid.

    時間分解ラマン分光、過渡吸収スペクトル、ab initio 分子軌道法を用いて、以下のことを明らかにした。
    (1)フラビンの光還元反応の機構:フラビンモノヌクレオチド(FMN)は紫外光照射により最低励起三重項状態(^3FMN^*)を経由して、pH8.3以上ではアニオンラジカル(FMN^<-*>)を、pH<8.3ではセミキノンラジカル(FMNH^*)を生成する。このとき、^3FMN^*は酸性溶液中でもアルカリ性溶液中でも、基質から電子を奪って先ずFMN^<-*>を生成するのであり、水素原子を引き抜いてFMNH^*を生成するのではないことを、時間分解ラマン分光法により明らかにした。なお、酸性溶液中では、生成したFMN^<-*>がH^+と結合してFMNH^*になる。
    (2)6-ニトロー1',3',3'-トリメチルスピロ[2H-1-ベンゾピラン-2,2'インドリン]のフォトクロミズム:シクロヘキサン溶液中で紫外光照射により、ナノ秒の時間領域で、3種類の過渡分子種が生成することを時間分解ラマン分光法により明らかにした。最も寿命の短い過渡分子種は最低励起三重項状態であり、二番目の寿命の過渡分子種は、C_<spito>-0結合が切れて生成したフォトメロシアニンである。また、最も寿命の長い過渡分子種はフォトメロシアニンの二量体であることが判った。
    (3)クマリンおよびソラーレンの最低励起三重項状態とアニオンラジカルの構造:クマリンおよびソラーレン誘導体は紫外光照射により、3種の過渡分子種を生成する。これらはT_1状態およびT_1経由で生成するアニオンラジカルとカチオンラジカルであることが判った。アニオンラジカルとT_1では、ピロン環の3,4-位のC=C結合の結合次数が大きく低下しており、特にT_1において著しい。ソラーレンのDNAへの光付加反応がT_1状態で、ピロン環3,4-位のC=C結合のところで起こっている可能性が高いことを明らかにした。
    (4)フェノチアジン誘導体の光励起分子のダイナミックス:フェノチアジン、クロルフェノチアジン、プロマジン、クロルプロマジンに共通して、カチオンラジカルが二光子イオン化により生成する。クロル誘導体ではカチオンラジカルから560nmに吸収をもつ過渡種Xが、更にXから380nmに吸収を示す過渡種Yが生成することが判った。Xはまた、T_1状態を460nmの光により励起する段階的二光子過程によっても生成する。なお、T_1状態はS原子の非結合軌道からフェニル基に局在した分子軌道への遷移によるn-π^*状態である。

    時間分解ラマン分光法およびレーザーフラッシュフォトリシス法を用いて、フラビンの光還元反応およびスピロピランの励起分子の構造について以下のことを明らかにした。
    (1)フラビンの光還元反応の機構:フラビンモノヌクレオチド(FMN)は最低励起三重項状態^3FMN^*を経由して、pH8.3以上ではアニオンラジカルFMN-・を、pH8.3以下ではセミキノンラジカルFMNH^・を生成する。このとき、^3FMN^*(吸収極大波長λ_<max>=377,494,660,710nm)は酸性溶液中でもアルカリ溶液中でも、基質から電子を奪って先ずFMN^<-・>(λ_<max>=367,485nm)を生成するのであり、水素原子を引き抜いてFMNH^・(λ_<max>=340,481,571nm)を生成するのではないことを時間分解ラマン分光法により明らかにした。なお、酸性溶液中では、生成したFMN^<-・>が更にH^+と結合してFMNH^・になる。
    (2)6-ニトロー1′,3′,3′-トリメチルスピロ[2H-1-ベンゾピラン-2,2′-インドリン](6-nitroBIPS)の励起分子種:フォトクロミズムを示す6-nitroBIPSは、シクロヘキサン溶液中紫外光照射により、ナノ秒以後の時間領域で、3種類の過渡分子種を生成することを、時間分解ラマン分光法により明らかにした。最も寿命の短い過渡分子種(λ_<max>=435nm)は、最低励起三重項状態であり、二番目の寿命の過渡分子種(λ_<max>=580nm)は、C_<spiro>-O結合が切れたフォトメロシアニンである。最も寿命も長い過渡分子種(λ_<max>=530nm)はフォトメロシアニンの二量体であることを明らかにした。なお、C_<spiro>-O結合の開裂は最低励起一重項から起こる。
