요약 | Molecular simulation is an essential tool for interpreting and predicting the structure, thermodynamics, and dynamics of chemical and biochemical systems. The fundamental inputs into these simulations are the intra- and intermolecular force fields, which provide simple and computationally efficient descriptions of molecular interactions. Consequently, the utility of molecular simulation ultimately depends on the fidelity of the force field to the underlying (exact) potential energy surface. This dissertation describes a number of novel advances designed to improve the accuracy and predictive power of (specifically ab initio) intermolecular force fields. By fitting ab initio force fields to first-principles-based functional forms and chemically-meaningful parameters, and by taking frequent advantage of the physically-motivated partitioning afforded by Symmetry-Adapted Perturbation Theory (SAPT) and Iterated Stockholder Atoms (ISA) approaches, we demonstrate how the resulting force fields can be applied to describe a broad range of molecular systems in different chemical and physical environments. Our newly-developed MASTIFF approach achieves quantitative accuracy with respect to both high-level electronic structure theory and experiment, and is thus well suited for use in 'next- generation' ab initio force field development and large-scale molecular simulation. |
