The inter-cage hopping in a type II clathrate hydrate with different numbers of H2 and D2 molecules, from 1 to 4 molecules per large cage, was studied using a classical molecular dynamics simulation at temperatures of 80 to 240 K. We present the results for the diffusion of these guest molecules (H2 or D2) at all of the different occupations and temperatures, and we also calculated the activation energy as the energy barrier for the diffusion using the Arrhenius equation. The average occupancy number over the simulation time showed that the structures with double and triple large-cage H2 occupancy appeared to be the most stable, while the small cages remained with only one guest molecule. A Markov model was also calculated based on the number of transitions between the different cage types.

The thermodynamic integration/path integral Monte Carlo (TI/PIMC) method of calculating the temperature dependence of the equilibrium constant quantum mechanically is applied to O + HCl ⇌ OH + Cl reaction. The method is based upon PIMC simulations for energies of the reactants and the products and subsequently on thermodynamic integration for the ratios of partition functions. PIMC calculations are performed with the primitive approximation (PA) and the Takahashi–Imada approximation (TIA).
