Diffusion Monte Carlo Method

We present a global potential energy surface (PES) for the 2 A state of the O (3 P ) + C 3 H 3 radical reaction. The global PES is constructed mainly using direct ab initio molecular dynamics and further sampling is done using the Diffusion Monte Carlo method. The potential is fully invariant with respect to permutational symmetry of like atoms. Special techniques, based on invariant theory of finite groups, have been used to develop basis functions for fitting that display this symmetry. The resultant potential energy surface shows multiple reaction paths with six different product channels. The products of the reactions are CO + C 2 H 3 radicals H + C 3 H 2 O radicals (with two isomers, propynal and propa-1,2-dien-1-one) and OH + C 3 H 2 radicals (with three isomers, vinylidenecarbene, propargylene and cyclopropenylidene). Energies of the PES are in excellent agreement with ab initio energies for each stationary point, the reactants and the products. Most stationary points are fitted at the sub Kcal/mol level. The global potential surface represents all the stationary points and six different product channels correctly. Preliminary dynamics calculations show abstraction and insertion mechanisms for the OH + vinylidenecarbene channel and the H + propynal channel, respectively.

Modeling dynamical effects in chemical reactions, such as post-transition state bifurcation, requires ab initio molecular dynamics simulations due to the breakdown of simpler static models like transition state theory. However, these simulations tend to be restricted to lower-accuracy electronic structure methods and scarce sampling because of their high computational cost. Here, we report the use of statistical learning to accelerate reactive molecular dynamics simulations by combining high-throughput ab initio calculations, graph-convolution interatomic potentials and active learning. This pipeline was demonstrated on an ambimodal trispericyclic reaction involving 8,8-dicyanoheptafulvene and 6,6-dimethylfulvene. With a training dataset size of approximately 31,000 M062X/def2-SVP quantum mechanical calculations, the computational cost of exploring the reactive potential energy surface was reduced by an order of magnitude. These tools are then used to automatically predict a reaction mechanism that is in agreement with the experimentally-reported product distribution. In addition, thousands of virtually costless picosecond-long reactive trajectories suggest that post-transition state bifurcation plays a very minor role in the reaction. Furthermore, a transfer-learning strategy effectively allowed to upgrade the potential energy surface to higher levels of theory (def2-TZVPD basis set and double hybrid functional) using less than 10% additional calculations. Since these methods capture intramolecular non-covalent interactions more accurately, they uncover longer lifetimes for entropic intermediates. This overall approach is broadly applicable and opens the door to the study of dynamical effects in larger, previously-intractable reactive systems.
