We present BILFF, a force field for bio-polymers in ionic liquids, optimized to accurately describe hydrogen bonds. In the first part, we introduce force field parameters for mixtures of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIm][OAc]) with water.

<div><div><div><p>Modern molecular mechanics force fields are widely used for modelling the dynamics and interactions of small organic molecules using libraries of transferable force field parameters. For molecules outside the training set, parameters may be missing or inaccurate, and in these cases, it may be preferable to derive molecule-specific parameters. Here we present an intuitive parameter derivation toolkit, QUBEKit (QUantum mechanical BEspoke Kit), which enables the automated generation of system-specific small molecule force field parameters directly from quantum mechanics. QUBEKit is written in python and combines the latest QM parameter derivation methodologies with a novel method for deriving the positions and charges of off-center virtual sites. As a proof of concept, we have re-derived a complete set of parameters for 109 small organic molecules, and assessed the accuracy by comparing computed liquid properties with experiment. QUBEKit gives highly competitive results when compared to standard transferable force fields, with mean unsigned errors of 0.024 g/cm3, 0.79 kcal/mol and 1.17 kcal/mol for the liquid density, heat of vaporization and free energy of hydration respectively. This indicates that the derived parameters are suitable for molecular modelling applications, including computer-aided drug design.</p></div></div></div>

A general, transferable polarisable force field for molecular simulation of ionic liquids and their mixtures with molecular compounds is developed. This polarisable model is derived from the widely used CL\&P fixed-charge force field that describes most families of ionic liquids, in a form compatible with OPLS-AA, one of the major force fields for organic compounds. Models for ionic liquids with fixed, integer ionic charges lead to pathologically slow dynamics, a problem that is corrected when polarisation effects are included explicitly. In the model proposed here, Drude induced dipoles are used with parameters determined from atomic polarisabilities. The CL\&P force field is modified upon inclusion of the Drude dipoles, to avoid double-counting of polarisation effects. This modification is based on first-principles calculations of the dispersion and induction contributions to the van der Waals interactions, using symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) for a set of dimers composed of positive, negative and neutral fragments representative of a wide variety of ionic liquids. The fragment approach provides transferability, allowing the representation of a multitude of cation and anion families, including different functional groups, without need to re-parametrise. Because SAPT calculations are expensive an alternative predictive scheme was devised, requiring only molecular properties with a clear physical meaning, namely dipole moments and atomic polarisabilities. The new polarisable force field, CL\&Pol, describes a broad set set of ionic liquids and their mixtures with molecular compounds, and is validated by comparisons with experimental data on density, ion diffusion coefficients and viscosity. The approaches proposed here can also be applied to the conversion of other fixed-charged force fields into polarisable versions.<br>
