The manuscript analyzes the accuracy of our recently developed reciprocal polarizable embedding scheme, where a density functional theory model of the QM region is coupled to a dipole- and quadrupole polarizable water potential of the MM region. We present calculations of water clusters and liquid water where we analyze the energy, atomic forces and total polarization to demonstrate that artifacts in energy and polarization introduced by the QM/MM coupling are small and well-behaved. Furthermore, our methodology improves the consistency of the structure of optimized water hexamer geometries when compared to results obtained with models that neglect polarization. Additionally, the manuscript provides evidence that our coupling scheme eliminates artifacts in the structure of liquid water obtained with simpler electrostatic embedding models.

In this work, the textural parameters of graphene oxide (GO) and graphite (Gr) samples were determined. The non-local density functional theory (NLDFT) and quenched solid density functional theory (QSDFT) kernels were used to evaluate the pore size distribution (PSD) by modeling the pores as slit, cylinder and slit-cylinder. The PSD results were compared with the immersion enthalpies obtained using molecules with different kinetic diameter (between 0.272 nm and 1.50 nm). Determination of immersion enthalpy showed to track PSD for GO and graphite (Gr), which was used as a comparison solid. Additionally, the functional groups of Gr and GO were determined by the Boehm method. Donor number (DN) Gutmann was used as criteria to establish the relationship between the immersion enthalpy and the parameter of the probe molecules. It was found that according to the Gutmann DN the immersion enthalpy presented different values that were a function of the chemical groups of the materials. Finally, the experimental and modeling results were critically discussed.
