Computational schemes are presented with which to evaluate the electrostatic Coulomb energy in relativistic molecular electronic
structure calculations using a basis of four-component Dirac spinor amplitudes. We demonstrate that algorithms may be constructed
and implemented which differ only in minor details from those in common use in nonrelativistic quantum chemistry, and that
the four-component formalism is neither as complicated nor as expensive as has been suggested recently in the literature.
Spherically symmetrical atomic basis sets are presented which indicate that accurate representations of the Coulomb energy
may be obtained using modest expansions of the electronic density in a scalar auxiliary basis set of spherical harmonic Gaussian-type
functions.

A test of the quality of the electrostatic properties and polarizabilities used in the nonempirical molecular orbital (NEMO)
potential is carried out for formamide by calculating the molecular dipole moment and polarizability at the second-order M?ller–Plesset
(MP2) level of theory. The molecular dipole moment is 11% lower at the MP2 level than at the Hartree–Fock (HF) level, whereas
the isotropic part of the polarizability is increased by 36% by adding electron correlation and using a considerably larger
basis set. The atomic charges, dipole moments and polarizabilities obtained at the HF level are rescaled to get the correct
molecular properties at the MP2 level. The potential minimum for the cyclic dimer of formamide is −17.50 kcal/mol with the
MP2-scaled properties and is significantly lower than other potentials give. Two intermolecular potentials are constructed
and used in subsequent molecular dynamics simulations: one with the regular NEMO potential and the other with the rescaled
MP2 properties. A damping of the electrostatic field at short intermolecular distances is included in the present NEMO model.
The average energies for liquid formamide are lower for the MP2-scaled model and are in good agreement with experimental results.
The lowering of the simulation energy for the MP2-scaled potential indicates the strong dispersive interactions in liquid
formamide.

Accurate electrostatic maps of proteins are of great importance in research of protein interaction with ligands, solvent
media, drugs, and other biomolecules. The large size of real-life proteins imposes severe limitations on computational methods
one can use for obtaining the electrostatic map. Well-known accurate second-order M?ller–Plesset and density functional theory
methods are not routinely applicable to systems larger than several hundred atoms. Conventional semiempirical tools, as less
resource demanding ones, could be an attractive solution but they do not yield sufficiently accurate calculation results with
reference to protein systems, as our analysis demonstrates. The present work performs a thorough analysis of the accuracy
issues of the modified neglect of differential overlap type semiempirical Hamiltonians AM1 and PM3 on example of the calculation
of the molecular electrostatic potential and the dipole moment of natural amino acids. Real capabilities and limitations of
these methods with application to protein modeling are discussed.

The structure and vibrational frequencies of an aromatic lithium sulfonyl imide, i.e., lithium bis(4-nitrophenylsulfonyl)imide
(LiNPSI) has been studied using self-consistent ab initio Hartree–Fock and hybrid density functional methods. These calculations
engender two linkage isomers, which correspond to the local minima on the potential-energy surface. In the lowest-energy isomer,
the ligand binds to the metal ion through two oxygens, one from each of the different SO2 groups on the central nitrogen and forms a six-membered ring. Another LiNPSI isomer, wherein the anion coordinates through
oxygen and nitrogen atoms and which is 55.9 kJmol−1 higher in energy, has also been obtained. The S–N–S bond angle in the free anion as well as in the LiNPSI complex turns out
to be nearly 121°. A comparison of the vibrational spectra of the free NPSI anion and that of the LiNPSI complex reveals that
the SO2 stretching vibrations at 1,239 and 1,205 cm−1 can be used to differentiate between the two linkage isomers of the complex. The stronger complexation ability of the NPSI
anion, compared to that for (CF3SO2)2N− has been explained in terms of the charge density within the molecular electrostatic potential isosurface encompassing both
SO2 groups of the anion.

We have investigated the S0 and S1 electronic states in bacteriorhodopsin using a variety of QM/MM levels. The decomposition of the calculated excitation energies
into electronic and electrostatic components shows that the interaction of the chromophore with the protein electric field
increases the excitation energy, while polarization effects are negligible. Therefore, the experimentally observed reduction
in excitation energy from solution phase to protein environment (the Opsin shift) does not come from the electrostatic interaction
with the protein environment, but from either the interaction ofthe chromophore with the solvent or counter ion, or structural
effects. Our high-level ONIOM(TD– B3LYP:Amber) calculation predicts the excitation energy within 8 kcal/mol from experiment,
the discrepancy probably being caused by the neglect of polarization of the protein environment. In addition, we have shown
that the level of optimization is extremely critical for the calculation of accurate excitation energies in bacteriorhodopsin.

Vibrational energy flow in organic molecules occurs by a multiple-time-scale mechanism that can be modeled by a single exponential
only in its initial stages. The mechanism is a consequence of the hierarchical structure of the vibrational Hamiltonian, which
leads to diffusion of vibrational wavepackets on a manifold with far fewer than the 3N−6 dimensions of the full vibrational state space. The dynamics are controlled by a local density of states, which does not
keep increasing with molecular size. In addition, the number of vibrational coordinates severely perturbed during chemical
reaction is small, leading to preservation of the hierarchical structure at chemically interesting energies. This regularity
opens up the possibility of controlling chemical reactions by controlling the vibrational energy flow. Computationally, laser
control of intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution can be modeled by quantum-classical, or by purely quantum-mechanical
models of the molecule and control field.

The recent “chemical energy component analysis” permits the total energy of a molecule to be presented approximately but
to good accuracy as a sum of atomic and diatomic energy contributions. Here the diatomic energy components are further decomposed
into terms of different physical origin: electrostatics (in point-charge approximation and the distributed charge corrections),
exchange effects, diatomic overlap and atomic basis extension terms. This analysis may provide us with a deeper insight into
the factors influencing both the chemical bonds and the nonbonded interatomic interactions.

Binding energies of helium, neon and atomic hydrogen encapsulated inside a C20 cage were calculated using an ab initio method at the B3LYP/6-31+G⋆ level of theory. The standard equilibrium constants for
the reactions of noble-gas atoms going into the C20 molecular cage have also been studied. The transition states for the reactions of C20 with hydrogen and helium were further obtained with an ab initio method at the B3LYP/6-31+G⋆ level and the rate constants
were estimated by using conventional transition-state theory. It was found that the hydrogen and helium atoms are extremely
difficult to put into the C20 cage. Once inside the cage, a helium atom can hardly get out, while a hydrogen atom can easily escape from the cage. The
results are expected to enrich fullerene science and be helpful for fullerene applications such as storage.

An overlap criterion is defined that connects the identification of core orbitals in a molecular system, which can be problematic,
to that in isolated atoms, which is well defined. This approach has been tested on a variety of troublesome systems that have
been identified in the literature, including molecules containing third-row main-group elements, and is shown to remove errors
of up to 100 kcal/mol arising from an inconsistent treatment of core orbitals at different locations on a potential-energy
surface. For some systems and choices of core orbitals, errors as large as 19 kcal/mol can be introduced even when consistent
sets of orbitals are frozen, and the new method is shown to identify these cases of substantial core–valence mixing. Finally,
even when there is limited core–valence mixing, the frozen-core approximation can introduce errors of more than 5 kcal/mol,
which is much larger than the presumed accuracy of models such as G2 and CBS-QB3. The source of these errors includes interatomic
core–core and core–valence dispersion forces.

Catalysis of proton abstraction from nonacidic carbon atoms adjacent to a carbonyl or carboxylate group is a fundamental
reaction in enzymology that has been extensively studied during the last few decades. Enzymes catalyzing these reactions,
which normally involve labile enolic intermediates, need to overcome large pK
a differences between the reacting groups as well as high intrinsic free-energy barriers. Here, we present an overview of results
from recent computer simulation studies of keto-enol isomerization reactions catalyzed by the enzymes glyoxalase I, triosephopsphate
isomerase and ketosteroid isomerase. For all three enzymes it is found that electrostatic stabilization of the transient enolate
intermediates, either by charge–charge interactions or by hydrogen bonding, accounts for the main part of the activation free-energy
barrier reduction. Another catalytic effect observed in all cases is the reduction of the reorganization energy by the enzyme
active site. Some other factors that have been proposed to be important for these reactions are also discussed and evaluated.

A unified treatment of one-electron two-center integrals over noninteger n Slater-type orbitals is described. Using an appropriate prolate spheroidal coordinate system with the two atomic centers
as foci, all the molecular integrals are expressed by a single analytical formula which can be readily and compactly programmed.
The analysis of the numerical performance of the computational algorithm is also presented.

The structural and energetic changes associated with C–N bond rotation in a squaric acid derivative as well as in formamide,
3-aminoacrolein and vinylamine have been studied theoretically using ab initio molecular orbital methods. Geometry optimizations
at the MP2(full)/6-31+G* level confirmed an increase in the C–N bond length and a smaller decrease in the C=O length on going
from the equilibrium geometry to the twisted transition state. Other geometrical changes are also discussed. Energies calculated
at the QCISD(T)/6-311+G** level, including zero-point-energy correction, show barrier heights decreasing in the order formamide,
squaric acid derivative, 3-aminoacrolein and vinylamine. The origin of the barriers were examined using the atoms-in-molecules
approach of Bader and the natural bond orbital population analysis. The calculations agree with Pauling's resonance model,
and the main contributing factor of the barrier is assigned to the loss of conjugation on rotating the C–N bond. Finally,
molecular interaction potential calculations were used to study the changes in the nucleophilicity of N and O (carbonyl) atoms
upon C–N rotation, and to obtain a picture of the abilities of the molecules to act in nonbonded interactions, in particular
hydrogen bonds. The molecular interaction potential results confirm the suitability of squaramide units for acting as binding
units in host–guest chemistry.

This article presents an overview of recent advances in the study of electron pairing through the use of localization and
delocalization indices obtained from double integration over atomic basins of the exchange–correlation density in the framework
of the atoms-in-molecules theory. These localization and delocalization indices describe the intra- and interatomic distribution
of the electron pairs in a molecule. The main results of the application of these second-order indices to the analysis of
molecular structure and chemical reactivity are briefly reviewed. It is shown that localization and delocalization indices
represent a powerful tool to describe the electron-pair structure of molecules, which, in turn, provides deeper insight into
relevant chemical phenomena such as electron correlation effects and the formation of localized α, β electron pairs.
