A solvation‐free‐energy functional: A reference‐modified density functional formulation

The three‐dimensional reference interaction site model (3D‐RISM) theory, which is one of the most applicable integral equation theories for molecular liquids, overestimates the absolute values of solvation‐free‐energy (SFE) for large solute molecules in water. To improve the free‐energy density functional for the SFE of solute molecules, we propose a reference‐modified density functional theory (RMDFT) that is a general theoretical approach to construct the free‐energy density functional systematically. In the RMDFT formulation, hard‐sphere (HS) fluids are introduced as the reference system instead of an ideal polyatomic molecular gas, which has been regarded as the appropriate reference system of the interaction‐site‐model density functional theory for polyatomic molecular fluids. We show that using RMDFT with a reference HS system can significantly improve the absolute values of the SFE for a set of neutral amino acid side‐chain analogues as well as for 504 small organic molecules. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Photo absorption of ‐coumaric acid in aqueous solution: RISM‐SCF‐SEDD theory approach

Photo absorption properties of p‐coumaric acid, the chromophore of photoactive yellow protein, in aqueous solution were investigated by means of reference interaction site model self‐consistent field with spatial electron density distribution (RISM‐SCF‐SEDD) method. RISM‐SCF‐SEDD is a combination methodology of electronic structure theory and statistical mechanics for molecular liquids. Here, time‐dependent density functional theory was coupled with RISM equation to study the electronic structure of p‐coumaric acid in aqueous system. Excitation energies of the chromophore in its neutral, two monoanionic and dianionic forms were computed to elucidate the effect of the deprotonation and solvation on the spectroscopic properties. We found that solvation strongly affects the excitation character of the chromophore, especially for phenolate anion and dianion. The free energy difference among the four protonation states is also discussed. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

1,2,3-三氮杂苯－(水)3复合物多体相互作用

The interaction between 1,2,3-triazine and three water molecules was studied using density functional theory B3LYP method at 6-31-t＋＋G^＊＊ basis set. Various structures for 1,2,3-triazine-（water）n （n= 1, 2, 3） complex were investigated and the different lower energy structures were reported. Many-body analysis was also carded out to obtain relaxation energy and many-body interaction energy （two, three, and four-body）, and the most stable conformer has the basis set superposition error corrected interaction energy of -- 102.61 kJ/mol. The relaxation energy, two- and three-body interactions have significant contribution to the total interaction energy whereas four-body interaction was very small for 1,2,3-triazine-（water）3 complex.     

Gas‐phase pyrolysis mechanisms of 3‐anilino‐1‐propanol: Density functional theory study

The gas‐phase pyrolytic decomposition mechanisms of 3‐anilino‐1‐propanol with the products of aniline, ethylene, and formaldehyde or N‐methyl aniline and aldehyde were studied by density functional theory. The geometries of the reactant, transition states, and intermediates were optimized at the B3LYP/6‐31G (d, p) level. Vibration analysis was carried out to confirm the transition state structures, and the intrinsic reaction coordinate method was performed to search the minimum energy path. Four possible reaction channels are shown, including two concerted reactions of direct pyrolytic decomposition and two indirect channels in which the reactant first becomes a ring‐like intermediate, followed by concerted pyrogenation. One of the concerted reactions in the direct pyrolytic decomposition has the lowest activation barrier among all the four channels, and so, it occurs more often than others. The results appear to be consistent with the experimental outcomes. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2009     

Alternative Representations of the Correlation Energy in Density‐Functional Theory: A Kinetic‐Energy Based Adiabatic Connection

The adiabatic‐connection framework has been widely used to explore the properties of the correlation energy in density‐functional theory. The integrand in this formula may be expressed in terms of the electron–electron interactions directly, involving intrinsically two‐particle expectation values. Alternatively, it may be expressed in terms of the kinetic energy, involving only one‐particle quantities. In this work, we explore this alternative representation for the correlation energy and highlight some of its potential for the construction of new density functional approximations. The kinetic‐energy based integrand is effective in concentrating static correlation effects to the low interaction strength regime and approaches zero asymptotically, offering interesting new possibilities for modeling the correlation energy in density‐functional theory     

A Theoretical Study on Hydrogen‐Bonded Complex of Proflavine Cation and Water: The Site‐dependent Feature of Hydrogen Bond Strengthening and Weakening

The intermolecular hydrogen‐bonds between proflavine cation (PC) and water molecules are investigated by density functional theory (DFT) and time‐dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) methods. The ground‐state geometry optimizations, electronic excitation energies and corresponding oscillation strengths of the low‐lying electronically excited states for the isolated proflavine cation, the hydrogen‐bonded PC–H2O dimer and PC–(H2O)2 trimer are calculated. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds at the central site of proflavine molecule are found to be stronger than the peripheral site. The hydrogen bond N–H???O for the hydrogen‐bonded dimer are indicated to be weakened in the excited states, since the excitation energy is increased slightly comparing to the monomer. Hydrogen bonds of PC–(H2O)2 trimer with the same type as the dimer are strengthened in the excited state, which is demonstrated by the decrease of the excited energies. Thus, hydrogen bond strengthening and weakening are observed to reveal site dependent feature in proflavine molecule. Furthermore, the hydrogen bond at central site induces the blue‐shift of the absorption spectrum, while the ones at peripheral site induce red‐shift. Hydrogen bonds with the same type at peripheral and central sites of proflavine molecule provide different effects on the photochemical and photophysical properties of proflavine.
