Abstracthe Effective Fragment Potential (EFP) model of solvation can now be extended beyond aqueous systems due to the development of transferable exchange repulsion potentials. EFPs for methanol and chloroform have been developed, and calculations with these new EFPs agree well with full ab initio calculations. Ab initio calculations have been carried out on zinc tetraphenyl-octobromyl-porphyrin both with and without the EFP solvation model. While the aqueous calculation, which had its geometry optimized, gave good results, the single-point calculations carried out with the two new solvent models indicate the need for geometry optimization.

Quantum chemistry program based on Multiresolution Multiwavelet (MRMW) basis set is much simpler and can be more efficient than the conventional one based on Gaussian basis set in molecular geometry optimization because the Hellmann Fynman Theorem (HFT) holds for the complete space which MRMW provides. It is numerically shown that large Gaussian basis sets can provide the chemical information with chemical accuracy for very small molecular systems despite the incompleteness of their basis set. However, even for the relatively small size molecule of CH4 , the error from the basis set incompleteness results in an error larger than an acceptable chemical accuracy. The advantage of the MRMW complete basis set in vibrational analysis is also discussed.

<div><div><div><p>In this Letter, we introduce a new database called carbon long bond 18 (CLB18), composed of 18 structures with one long C–C bond. We use this new database to evaluate the performance of several low-cost methods commonly used for geometry optimization of medium and large molecules. We found that the long bonds in CLB18 are electronically different from those found in barrier heights databases. We also report the unexpected correlation between the results of CLB18 and those of the energetics of spin states in transition-metal complexes. Given this unique property, CLB18 can be a useful tool for assessing existing electronic structure calculation methods and developing new ones.</p></div></div></div>

Recent advances in artificial intelligence along with development of large datasets of energies calculated using quantum mechanical (QM)/density functional theory (DFT) methods have enabled prediction of accurate molecular energies at reasonably low computational cost. However, machine learning models that have been reported so far requires the atomic positions obtained from geometry optimizations using high level QM/DFT methods as input in order to predict the energies, and do not allow for geometry optimization. In this paper, a transferable and molecule-size independent machine learning model (BAND NN) based on a chemically intuitive representation inspired by molecular mechanics force fields is presented. The model predicts the atomization energies of equilibrium and non-equilibrium structures as sum of energy contributions from bonds (B), angles (A), nonbonds (N) and dihedrals (D) at remarkable accuracy. The robustness of the proposed model is further validated by calculations that span over the conformational, configurational and reaction space. The transferability of this model on systems larger than the ones in the dataset is demonstrated by performing calculations on select large molecules. Importantly, employing the BAND NN model, it is possible to perform geometry optimizations starting from non-equilibrium structures along with predicting their energies.
