Dynamics Simulations

To understand the reaction mechanism involving hydrogen transfers through hydrogen-bond bridge, we carried out both Self-Consistent Charge Density Functional Tight-Binding (SCC-DFTB) calculations of bulk nitromethane and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations of singlet ground state/triplet excited state molecular nitromethane using B3LYP functional. Firstly, we tuned the repulsive parameters of the SCC-DFTB method for nitromethane with dataset calculated from DFT at B3LYP/6-311g level. The molecular dynamics simulations are carried out with tuned parameters to get the dynamical properties of the bulk nitromethane, and the static calculations are intended to give energy profile of the reaction process. These calculations indicate the excitation of nitromethane molecule making the proton transfer reactions possible, and lowering the reaction barrier.
