In the first paper (J. Phys. Chem. B, 2006, 110, 10878), effective ion-ion potentials in SPC/E water were obtained for Me-Me, Me-Cl-, and Cl(-)-Cl- pairs, where Me is Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ cations. In this second part of the study of effective interionic potentials, ion-ion distribution functions obtained from implicit-water Monte Carlo simulations of electrolyte solution with these potentials have been explored. This analysis verifies the range of applicability of the primitive model of electrolyte. It is shown that this approximation can be applied to monovalent electrolyte solutions in a wide range of concentrations, whereas the nature of ion-ion interactions is notably different for 2:1 electrolytes. An improved model of ions is discussed. The model includes approximations of the ion hydration shell polarization and specific short-range ion-ion interaction. It allows approximation of the potential of mean force acting on ions in strong electric fields of highly charged macromolecules and bilayers.

Potentials of Mean Force and Solvent Effects of the CN + CHX (X = F, Cl, Br, and I) Reactions by the N-Side Attack in Aqueous Solution.

A combined multilevel quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics approach is performed to investigate the nucleophilic substitution reactions of CN + CHX (X = F, Cl, Br, and I) by the N-side attack in aqueous solution. The water molecules are treated microscopically using an explicit SPC/E model, and the potentials of mean force are characterized by both the DFT and CCSD(T) levels of theory for the solute. Calculations demonstrate that the shielding effect of the solvent reduces the nucleophile-substrate and substrate-leaving group interactions in solution, leading to stationary point structures that are quite different from those in the gas phase.

A multiscale force field (FF) is developed for an aqueous solution of trivalent actinide cations An (An = U, Np, Pu, Am, Cm, Bk, and Cf) by using a 12-6-4 Lennard-Jones type potential considering ion-induced dipole interaction. Potential parameters are rigorously and automatically optimized by the meta-multilinear interpolation parametrization (meta-MIP) algorithm via matching the experimental properties, including ion-oxygen distance (IOD) and coordination number (CN) in the first solvation shell and hydration free energy (HFE). The water solvent models incorporate an especially developed polar coarse-grained (CG) water scheme named PW32 and three widely used all-atom (AA) level SPC/E, TIP3P, and TIP4P water schemes.

Using a recent polarizable model for water (the BK3 model), we explore the collective dynamic modes in liquid water by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The dynamic structure factor and the longitudinal and transverse current correlation spectral densities are computed over the whole frequency range below intramolecular excitations. MD results of atom-atom partial correlation functions are fitted using the Generalized Collective Modes (GCMs) model, involving relaxing modes occurring in the longitudinal component and propagating modes occurring in both components.

Velocity autocorrelation functions (VACFs) were calculated using the molecular dynamics method in the TIP4P/2005 and SPC/E water models of 157 464 molecules at temperatures ranging from 250 to 370 K. The large size of the models and the high accuracy of the calculations allow us to reliably compute the long-time tails of the VACFs, showing that they systematically change shape from hydrodynamic (argon-like) at high temperatures to that typical of supercooled liquids at low temperatures. These tails in the range of 2-10 ps can be well fitted by a combination of two power functions: At-3/2 - Bt-β (A, B > 0, β ≈ 2).

The structure of aqueous ammonia solutions is investigated through classical molecular dynamics (MD) and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. We have preliminarily compared three well-known classical force fields for liquid water (SPC, SPC/E, and TIP4P) in order to identify the most accurate one in reproducing AIMD results obtained at the Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) and meta-GGA levels of theory. Liquid ammonia has been simulated by implementing an optimized force field recently developed by Chettiyankandy et al.
