We present the results of direct dynamics simulations and DFT calculations aimed at elucidating the effect of \textit{O}-sulfonation on the collision induced dissociation for serine. Towards this end, direct dynamics simulations of both serine and sulfoserine were performed at multiple collision energies and theoretical mass spectra obtained. Comparisons to experimental results are favorable for both systems. Peaks related to the sulfo group are identified and the reaction dynamics explored. In particular, three significant peaks (m\z 106, 88, and 81) seen in the theoretical mass spectrum directly related to the sulfo group are analyzed as well as major peaks shared by both systems. Our analysis shows that the m\z 106 peaks result from intramolecular rearrangements, intermolecular proton transfer among complexes composed of initial fragmentation products, and at high energy side-chain fragmentation. The \mz 88 peak was found to contain multiple constitutional isomers, including a previously unconsidered, low energy structure. It was also seen that the RM1 semi empirical method was not able to obtain all of the major peaks seen in experiment for sulfoserine. In contrast, PM6 did obtain all major experimental peaks.

A MP2/6-31G* direct dynamics simulation is used to study the dynamics of the central barrier [Cl-C2H5-Cl]– for the Cl– + C2H5 SN2 reaction. The majority of the trajectories move off the central barrier to form the Cl––C2H5Cl complex and appear to undergo efficient IVR as assumed by RRKM theory. However, some of the trajectories move directly to products without forming the complex, a non-RRKM result. A hydrogen atom link-atom QM/MM model is described for studying the dynamics of [X-CH2R-Y]– central barriers with the -R substituent. The model is used to calculate vibrational frequencies for the [Cl-C2H5-Cl]– central barrier.Key words: SN2 reaction dynamics, RRKM theory, QM/MM model, central barrier dynamics, direct dynamics classical trajectories.
