Density Functionals with Broad Applicability in Chemistry

Yan Zhao, Donald G. Truhlar · 11 Jan 2008

Although density functional theory is widely used in the computational chemistry community, the most popular density functional, B3LYP, has some serious shortcomings: (i) it is better for main-group chemistry than for transition metals; (ii) it systematically underestimates reaction barrier heights; (iii) it is inaccurate for interactions dominated by medium-range correlation energy, such as van der…

Modular Chemistry:  Secondary Building Units as a Basis for the Design of Highly Porous and Robust Metal−Organic Carboxylate Frameworks

Mohamed Eddaoudi, David B. Moler, Hailian Li et al. · 17 Feb 2001

Secondary building units (SBUs) are molecular complexes and cluster entities in which ligand coordination modes and metal coordination environments can be utilized in the transformation of these fragments into extended porous networks using polytopic linkers (1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, 1,3,5,7-adamantanetetracarboxylate, etc.). Consideration of the geometric and chemical attributes of the SBUs and linkers leads to prediction of the…

Calculating Structures and Free Energies of Complex Molecules:  Combining Molecular Mechanics and Continuum Models

Peter A. Kollman, Irina Massova, Carolina Reyes et al. · 4 Oct 2000

A historical perspective on the application of molecular dynamics (MD) to biological macromolecules is presented. Recent developments combining state-of-the-art force fields with continuum solvation calculations have allowed us to reach the fourth era of MD applications in which one can often derive both accurate structure and accurate relative free energies from molecular dynamics trajectories. We…
