The solvation properties of the Zn(2+) ion in methanol solution have been investigated using a combined approach based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) experimental results. The quantum mechanical potential energy surface for the interaction of the Zn(2+) ion with a methanol molecule has been calculated taking into account the effect of bulk solvent by the polarizable continuum model (PCM). The effective Zn-methanol interactions have been fitted by suitable analytical potentials, and have been utilized in the MD simulation to obtain the structural properties of the solution. The reliability of the whole procedure has been assessed by comparing the theoretical structural results with the EXAFS experimental data. The structural parameters of the first solvation shells issuing from the MD simulations provide an effective complement to the EXAFS experiments.  相似文献

A detailed investigation of the hydration structure of Zn2+, Ni2+, and Co2+ in water solutions has been carried out combining X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. The first quantitative analysis of EXAFS from hydrogen atoms in 3d transition metal ions in aqueous solutions has been carried out and the ion-hydrogen interactions have been found to provide a detectable contribution to the EXAFS spectra. An accurate determination of the structural parameters associated with the first hydration shell has been performed and compared with previous experimental results. No evidence of significant contributions from the second hydration shell to the EXAFS signal has been found for these solutions, while the inclusion of the hydrogen signal has been found to be important in performing a quantitative analysis of the experimental data. The high-frequency contribution present in the EXAFS spectra has been found to be due to multiple scattering (MS) effects inside the ion-oxygen first coordination shell. MD has been used to generate three-body distribution functions from which a reliable analysis of the MS contributions to the EXAFS spectra of these systems has been carried out.  相似文献

Molecular dynamics simulations of the Hg2+ ion in aqueous solution have been carried out using an effective two-body potential derived from quantum mechanical calculations. A stable heptacoordinated structure of the Hg2+ first hydration shell has been observed and confirmed by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) experimental data. The structural properties of the Hg2+ hydration shells have been investigated using radial and angular distribution functions, while the dynamical behavior has been discussed in terms of reorientational correlation functions, mean residence times of water molecules in the first and second hydration shells, and self-diffusion coefficients. The effect of water-water interactions on the Hg2+ hydration properties has been evaluated using the SPC/E and TIP5P water models.  相似文献

The anharmonic OH stretching vibrational frequencies, ν(OH), for the first-shell water molecules around the Li(+), Ca(2+), Mg(2+), and Al(3+) ions in dilute aqueous solutions have been calculated based on classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and quantum-mechanical (QM) calculations. For Li(+)(aq), Ca(2+)(aq), Mg(2+)(aq), and Al(3+)(aq), our calculated IR frequency shifts, Δν(OH), with respect to the gas-phase water frequency, are about -300, -350, -450, and -750?cm(-1), compared to -290, -290, -420, and -830?cm(-1) from experimental infrared (IR) studies. The agreement is thus quite good, except for the order between Li(+) and Ca(2+). Given that the polarizing field from the Ca(2+) ion ought to be larger than that from Li(+)(aq), our calculated result seems reasonable. Also the absolute OH frequencies agree well with experiment. The method we used is a sequential four-step procedure: QM(electronic) to make a force field+MD simulation+QM(electronic) for point-charge-embedded M(n+) (H(2)O)(y) (second?shell) (H(2)O)(z) (third?shell) clusters+QM(vibrational) to yield the OH spectrum. The many-body Ca(2+)-water force-field presented in this paper is new. IR intensity-weighting of the density-of-states frequency distributions was carried out by means of the squared dipole moment derivatives.  相似文献

A detailed theoretical investigation on Co^3+ hydration in aqueous solution has been carded out by means of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on the atom-bond electronegativity equalization method fused into molecular mechanics (ABEEM/MM). The effective Co^3+ ion-water potential has been constructed by fitting to ab initio structures and binding energies for ionic clusters. And then the ion-water interaction potential was applied in combination with the ABEEM-7P water model to molecular dynamics simulations of single Co^3+(aq.) solution, managing to reproduce many experimental structural and dynamical properties of the solution. Here, not only the common properties (radial distribution function, angular distribution function and solvation energy) obtained for Co^3+ in ABEEM-7P water solution were in good agreement with those from the experimental methods and other molecular dynamics simulations but also very interesting properties of charge distributions, geometries of water molecules, hydrogen bond, diffusion coefficients, vibrational spectra are investigated by ABEEM/MM model.  相似文献

DFT:B3LYP ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) approach is used to elucidate the properties of the Zundel and Eigen, H5O2+ and H9O4+, proton complexes in the triplet state. The simulation considers the complexes in the gas phase (isolated complexes) and inside the clusters composed of 32, 64, and 128 water molecules, mimicking the behavior of aqueous solutions. MD simulations reveal three distinct periods. For the complex in solutions, the periods are smoothed out. The H5O2+ and H9O4+ complexes in the triplet state undergo structural rearrangements, which eventually result in hydrogen elimination. For the H5O2+, the hydrogen is eliminated from the center of the water cluster, whereas for the H9O4+ it is removed from a near-surface water molecule. The rate of hydrogen elimination decreases with increasing the number of water molecules surrounding the complex.  相似文献

The structural and dynamical properties of high-spin Ru2+ in aqueous solution have been theoretically studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The conventional MD simulation based on pair potentials gives the overestimated average first shell coordination number of 9, whereas the value of 5.9 was observed when the three-body corrected function was included. A combined ab initio quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to take into account the many-body effects on the hydration shell structure of Ru2+. The most important region, the first hydration shell, was treated by ab initio quantum mechanics at UHF level using the SBKJC VDZ ECP basis set for Ru2+ and the 6-31G basis sets for water. An exact coordination number of 6 for the first hydration shell was obtained from the QM/MM simulation. The QM/MM simulation predicts the average Ru2+–O distance of 2.42 Å for the first hydration shell, whereas the values of 2.34 and 2.46 Å are resulted from the pair potentials without and with the three-body corrected simulations, respectively. Several other structural properties representing position and orientation of the solvate molecules were evaluated for describing the hydration shell structure of the Ru2+ ion in dilute aqueous solution. A mean residence time of 7.1 ps was obtained for water ligands residing in the second hydration shell.  相似文献

Neutron diffraction with isotopic substitution (NDIS) experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been used to characterize the structure of aqueous guanidinium carbonate (Gdm2CO3) solutions. The MD simulations found very strong hetero-ion pairing in Gdm2CO3 solution and were used to determine the best structural experiment to demonstrate this ion pairing. The NDIS experiments confirm the most significant feature of the MD simulation, which is the existence of strong hetero-ion pairing between the Gdm+ and CO3(2-) ions. The neutron structural data also support the most interesting feature of the MD simulation, that the hetero-ion pairing is sufficiently strong as to lead to nanometer-scale aggregation of the ions. The presence of such clustering on the nanometer length scale was then confirmed using small-angle neutron scattering experiments. Taken together, the experiment and simulation suggest a molecular-level explanation for the contrasting denaturant properties of guanidinium salts in solution.  相似文献

Herein, we report on the structure and dynamics of the aqueous Ca2+ system studied by using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. Our detailed study revealed the formation of well‐formed hydration shells with characteristics that were significantly different to those of bulk water. To facilitate a robust comparison with state‐of‐the‐art X‐ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) data, we employ a 1st principles MD‐XAFS procedure and directly compare simulated and experimental XAFS spectra. A comparison of the data for the aqueous Ca2+ system with those of the recently reported Zn2+, Fe3+, and Al3+ species showed that many of their structural characteristics correlated well with charge density on the cation. Some very important exceptions were found, which indicated a strong sensitivity of the solvent structure towards the cation′s valence electronic structure. Average dipole moments for the 2nd shell of all cations were suppressed relative to bulk water.  相似文献

Classical molecular dynamics (MD) and combined quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) MD simulations have been performed to investigate the structural and dynamical properties of the Tl(III) ion in water. A six-coordinate hydration structure with a maximum probability of the Tl-O distance at 2.21 A was observed, which is in good agreement with X-ray data. The librational and vibrational spectra of water molecules in the first hydration shell are blue-shifted compared with those of pure liquid water, and the Tl-O stretching force constant was evaluated as 148 Nm(-1). Both structural and dynamical properties show a distortion of the first solvation shell structure. The second shell ligands' mean residence time was determined as 12.8 ps. The Tl(III) ion can be classified as "structure forming" ion; the calculated hydration energy of -986 +/- 9 kcal mol agrees well with the experimental value of -986 kcal mol.  相似文献

This paper presents recent advances in the use of molecular simulations and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, which enable us to understand solvated ions in solution. We report and discuss the EXAFS spectra and related properties governing solvation processes of different ions in water and methanol. Molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories are coupled to electron scattering simulations to generate the MD-EXAFS spectra, which are found to be in very good agreement with the corresponding experimental measurements. From these simulated spectra, the ion-oxygen distances for the first hydration shell are in agreement with experiment within 0.05-0.1 A. The ionic species studied range from monovalent to divalent, positive and negative: K+, Ca2+, and Cl-. This work demonstrates that the combination of MD-EXAFS and the corresponding experimental measurement provides a powerful tool in the analysis of the solvation structure of aqueous ionic solutions. We also investigate the value of electronic structure analysis of small aqueous clusters as a benchmark to the empirical potentials. In a novel computational approach, we determine the Debye-Waller factors for Ca2+, K+, and Cl- in water by combining the harmonic analysis of data obtained from electronic structure calculations on finite ion-water clusters, providing excellent agreement with the experimental values, and discuss how they compare with results from a harmonic classical statistical mechanical analysis of an empirical potential.  相似文献

In this paper, we present a state-of-the-art 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation of a cadmium(II) aqueous solution that highlights a very flexible ion first coordination shell which transits between hexa- and heptahydrated complexes. From this investigation, a dynamical picture of the water exchange process emerges that takes place through an associative mechanism for the solvent substitution reaction. Our procedure starts from the generation of an effective two-body potential from quantum mechanical ab initio calculations in which the many-body ion-water terms are accounted for by the polarizable continuum method (PCM). This approach is computationally very efficient and has allowed us to carry out extremely long molecular dynamics simulations, indispensable to reproduce the dynamic properties of the cadmium(II) aqueous solution. Quantum mechanical ab initio calculations of the hexa- and heptahydrated complexes extracted from MD configurations have revealed stable minima for both clusters with the water molecules arranged in T(h)() and C(2) symmetries in the hexa- and heptahydrated complexes, respectively, with a slight energetic preference for the heptahydrated one. Finally, a comparison of the calculated hexa- and heptahydrated cluster IR and Raman spectra with the experimental data in the literature, has demonstrated that the IR spectroscopy is not able to distinguish between the two species, whereas the Raman spectrum of the Cd(2+)-(H(2)O)(7) cluster provides a better agreement with the experimental data.  相似文献

A molecular based understanding of beryllium chemistry in the context of biomolecules is necessary for gaining progress in prevention and treatment of chronic beryllium disease. One aspect that has hindered the theoretical progress has been the lack of a simple classical two-body potential for the aqueous beryllium ion (Be2+) to be used with biomolecular simulations. We provide new parameters for Be2+ that capture the structural and reactive properties of this small dication. Using classical molecular dynamics simulations, we show that these parameters reproduce the correct radial distribution function and coordination numbers for this cation in explicit aqueous solution when compared to published diffraction and NMR measurements. The geometrical parameters obtained using classical simulations are also in agreement with ab initio calculations. We successfully predict the vibrational modes of the tetra aqua Be2+ dication from ab initio calculations on solvated structures obtained from the simulations. The calculated vibrational modes show better agreement with experiments compared to any published work. This new potential also produces a well-established hydrogen bonding between the first and second solvation shells. More importantly, when the molecular dynamics (MD) and ab initio results are interpreted in concert, the dynamics and nature of interactions between the first and second shells capture the pivotal role they play on the reactivity of aqua-Be complexes.  相似文献
