2. Molecular mechanics is useful
water flow in aquaporins1 mechanical deformation in ceramics2
• Since atomic nuclei behave mostly classically, molecular
mechanics (MM) is a useful method for doing dynamics
• In MM, classical electrostatic effects are important,
including polarization

3. Molecular mechanics
• Classical energy function with bonded and
nonbonded terms
Van der Waals interactions
Molecular electrostatics
• Nuclear motions propagated using classical
equations of motion

6. Physical interpretation of QEq
• In equilibrium:
– each atom i has the same chemical potential μ
– μ uniquely determines the atomic charges qi
• Atoms interpreted as subsystems in equilibrium

N, V, T
Energy derivatives: chemical potential μ, hardness
7. Physical interpretation of QEq

• No penalty for long-range charge transfer
• Overestimates molecular electrostatic properties
• Especially bad far from equilibrium
9. New charge model: Desiderata
• Transferable parameters
– Generic, application-independent
– No atom typing
• Accurate
– Able to describe polarization and charge transfer
– Correct asymptotic charge distributions
– Predicts electrostatic properties accurately
• Flexible
– Able to handle arbitrary total charge
– Able to describe electronic excited states
• Rigorous
– Well-defined coarse-graining picture from conventional
electronic structure methods
• Practical to compute
– O(N ) or better
– Faster than conventional electronic structure methods
10. QTPIE: charge transfer with
polarization current equilibration
• Shift focus to charge transfer variables pji:
– Charge accounting: where it came from, where it’s
going p 12
p23
p34
p45
– Explicitly penalize long-distance charge transfer
12. Water fragments correctly
• Asymmetric dissociation: correct asymptotics, charge
transfer on OH fragment retained

18. Dipole polarizability of phenol
• Response of dipole moment to external electric
field
• QTPIE: overestimates less than QEq

• Out-of-plane component missing in QEq, QTPIE
• MP2/STO-3G suggests this is largely because of
inflexible basis set
19. QTPIE = coarse-grained ab initio?
• Reparameterizing with ab initio (MP2/aug-cc-
pVDZ) IPs and EAs improves agreement of in-
plane polarizabilities at same level of theory

20. Dealing with charged systems I
• Constrained minimization with Lagrange
multipliers
– Problem 1: Cannot be enforced for diatomic molecule
and
– Problem 2: Generalizing to non-zero diagonal charge
transfer variables destroys asymptotic property
– Model has insufficient constraints at large bond
lengths to guarantee integer charges
21. Dealing with charged systems II
• Redefine atoms with formal charges

22. Test case - water : phenol : sodium -stack
• Chemically “obvious”

• Reparameterization
appears to work well for
QTPIE
• Need to figure out
extension to general

Mulliken/MP2/cc-pVDZ charge: 0.7394
23. Outlook
• QTPIE is a promising new charge model
– Implement scalable solution algorithm
– Interface with MD code
– Chemical applications, e.g. enzyme-substrate
docking, electrochemistry
• Many open theoretical questions, e.g.:
– How to account for out-of-plane polarizabilities?
– When does a molecule stop being a molecule?
– What is the quantum-mechanical analogue of charge
transfer variables?
– How to deal with excited states?
24. Conclusions
• Focus on charge transfer and including distance penalty
improves description of atomic charges
