Torsional anharmonicity in the conformational analysis of beta-D-galactose.
Schemes to include a treatment of torsional anharmonicity in the conformational analysis of biological molecules are introduced. The approaches combine ab initio electronic energies and harmonic frequencies with anharmonic torsional partition functions calculated using the torsional path integral Monte Carlo method on affordable potential energy surfaces. The schemes are applied to the conforma...
متن کاملStatistical thermodynamics of the isomerization reaction between n-heptane and isoheptane.
We have employed electronic structure calculations and the recently proposed multi-structural (MS) anharmonicity method to calculate partition functions and thermodynamic quantities, in particular entropy and heat capacity, for n-heptane and isoheptane. We included all structures, of which there are 59 for n-heptane and 37 for isoheptane, and we carried out the calculations both in the local ha...
متن کاملMSTor: A program for calculating partition functions, free energies, enthalpies, entropies, and heat capacities of complex molecules including torsional anharmonicity
MSTor is a computer program for calculating gas-phase molecular partition functions and thermodynamic functions (standard state energy, enthalpy, entropy, free energy, and heat capacity at constant pressure) as functions of temperature by the multistructural approximation with torsional anharmonicity (MS-T). The MS-T approximation accounts for the coupling of torsions to one another and to over...
متن کاملMulti-structural variational transition state theory: kinetics of the 1,5-hydrogen shift isomerization of the 1-butoxyl radical including all structures and torsional anharmonicity.
We investigate the statistical thermodynamics and kinetics of the 1,5-hydrogen shift isomerization reaction of the 1-butoxyl radical and its reverse isomerization. The partition functions and thermodynamic functions (entropy, enthalpy, heat capacity, and Gibbs free energy) are calculated using the multi-structural torsional (MS-T) anharmonicity method including all structures for three species ...
متن کاملPractical methods for including torsional anharmonicity in thermochemical calculations on complex molecules: the internal-coordinate multi-structural approximation.
Many methods for correcting harmonic partition functions for the presence of torsional motions employ some form of one-dimensional torsional treatment to replace the harmonic contribution of a specific normal mode. However, torsions are often strongly coupled to other degrees of freedom, especially other torsions and low-frequency bending motions, and this coupling can make assigning torsions t...
