Importance And Reliability Of Small Basis Set Ccsd(T) Corrections To Mp2 Binding And Relative Energies Of Water Clusters, Berhane Temelso, Carla Renner, George Shields Mar 2015

Importance And Reliability Of Small Basis Set Ccsd(T) Corrections To Mp2 Binding And Relative Energies Of Water Clusters, Berhane Temelso, Carla Renner, George Shields

Berhane Temelso

MP2 describes hydrogen-bonded systems well, yet a higher-order electron correlation correction in the form of a CCSD(T) calculation is usually necessary to achieve benchmark quality energies. We evaluated the importance and reliability of small basis set CCSD(T) corrections to MP2(δCCSD(T)) both on the binding (ΔE) and relative (ΔΔE) MP2 energies for a large number of systems including four water dimer stationary points and 57 other clusters up to undecamers, (H2O)11. By comparing the MP2 energies with CCSD(T) and the explicitly correlated MP2-F12 energies with variants of CCSD(T)-F12 using different basis sets, we were able to establish that the correction to …


Computational Estimation Of Pka Values, Paul Seybold, George Shields Dec 2014

Computational Estimation Of Pka Values, Paul Seybold, George Shields

Berhane Temelso

The pKa of a compound is one of its most important properties as it defines the specific molecular forms that will prevail under different pH conditions. Accordingly, accurate means for computational estimation of this property are of particular interest. Two main techniques for this purpose have emerged: (1) a first principles approach that relies on basic physical concepts and requires high computational resources, but is independent of experimental input and (2) a linear free energy or quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) approach that combines molecular structural and energetic descriptors with available experimental pKa data to reduce computational demand and yield good …
