We demonstrate how to fully ascribe Raman peaks simulated using ab initio molecular dynamics to specific vibrations in the structure at finite temperatures by means of Wannier functions. Here, we adopt our newly introduced method for the simulation of the Raman spectra in which the total polarizability of the system is expressed as a sum over Wannier polarizabilities. The assignment is then based on the calculation of partial Raman activities arising from self- and/or cross-correlations between different types of Wannier functions in the system. Different types of Wannier functions can be distinguished based on their spatial spread. To demonstrate the predictive power of this approach, we applied it to the case of a cyclohexane molecule in the gas phase and were able to fully assign the simulated Raman peaks.

Collision Angle

Direct ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) calculations have been carried out for the reaction of cyclopropenyl chloride with halide ion (F–) (F– + (CH)3Cl → F(CH)3 + Cl–) in gas phase. Both SN2 and SN2′ channels were found as product channels. These channels are strongly dependent on the collision angle of F– to the target (CH)3Cl molecule. The collision at one of the carbon atoms of the C=C double bond leads to the SN2′ reaction channel; whereas the collision at the methylene carbon atom leads to the SN2 reaction channel. The reactions proceed via a direct mechanism without long-lived complexes. The reaction mechanism is discussed on the basis of the theoretical results.Key words: SN2 reaction, direct ab initio molecular dynamics, halogen exchange, reaction mechanism.

Simulation Time

ABSTRACTGas phase-optimized structures are used to assemble an ab initio molecular dynamics simulation of plutonium (IV) solvated in water. Hydrolysis is observed, and results are compared to experimental EXAFS data.While simulation time is insufficient to be conclusive, evidence suggests that the 7-coordinate singly-hydrolysed complex, [Pu (OH) (OH2)6]3+, is most stable in our simulated environment. Energetic differences between the gas-phase optimised structure and the prevalent dynamic simulation structure are shown to be relatively small.
