Book Synopsis Potential Energy Hypersurfaces by : Paul G. Mezey
Download or read book Potential Energy Hypersurfaces written by Paul G. Mezey and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1987 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of the potential surface model has led naturally to a large number of studies on the subject, where the emphasis has usually been placed on lower dimensional problems, such as the reaction dynamics of diatomic to four-atom systems, or conformational problems restricted to few internal rotations. The purposes and methods of this book are, however, somewhat different from those of most studies on potential surface problems. The emphasis here is placed on those fundamental properties of potential energy hypersurfaces that are general for higher dimensions, that is, for larger molecules. The study of these properties requires some of the tools of global analysis that are not among the routine mathematical techniques of quantum chemists: topology, homotopy, and homology. This book provides the reader with an introduction to the fundamentals and to some of the more recent developments in the theory of potential energy hypersurfaces. The text is fairly self-contained. It requires no previous mathematical knowledge from the reader beyond that needed in an undergraduate quantum chemistry course.

Book Synopsis Properties of Chemically Interesting Potential Energy Surfaces by : Dietmar Heidrich
Download or read book Properties of Chemically Interesting Potential Energy Surfaces written by Dietmar Heidrich and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary chemical reaction theory is the characterization of Potential Energy Hypersurfaces (PES). The authors critically analyze chemically and mathematically suitable reaction path definitions. The book presents a simple mathematical analysis of stationary and critical points of the PES. It provides tools for studying chemical reactions by calculating reaction paths and related curves. A further aspect of the book is the dependence of PES properties on approximations used for the analysis. Recent quantum chemical calculations, particularly of single proton transfer processes, and experimental data are compared. The book addresses students and researchers in Theoretical Chemistry, Chemical Kinetics and related fields.

Download or read book Conceptual Perspectives in Quantum Chemistry written by Jean-Louis Calais and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full Ecclesiastes What is quantum chemistry? The straightforward answer is that it is what quan tum chemists do. But it must be admitted, that in contrast to physicists and chemists, "quantum chemists" seem to be a rather ill-defined category of scientists. Quantum chemists are more or less physicists (basically theoreticians), more or less chemists, and by large, computationists. But first and foremost, we, quantum chemists; are conscious beings. We may safely guess that quantum chemistry was one of the first areas in the natural sciences to lie on the boundaries of many disciplines. We may certainly claim that quantum chemists were the first to use computers for really large scale calculations. The scope of the problems which quantum chemistry wishes to answer and which, by its unique nature, only quantum chemistry can answer is growing daily. Retrospectively we may guess that many of those problems meet a daily need, or are say, technical in some sense. The rest are fundamental or conceptual. The daily life of most quantum chemists is usually filled with grasping the more or less technical problems. But it is at least as important to devote some time to the other kind of problems whose solution will open up new perspectives for both quantum chemistry itself and for the natural sciences in general.

Book Synopsis Molecular Similarity and Reactivity: From Quantum Chemical to Phenomenological Approaches by : Ramón Carbó
Download or read book Molecular Similarity and Reactivity: From Quantum Chemical to Phenomenological Approaches written by Ramón Carbó and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1995-07-31 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Similarities in chemical reactivity depend on molecular properties, and are ultimately dependent on the similarities of electronic structures. Fundamentally, quantum chemical similarities are manifested in similarities of molecular behaviour. This book covers both the quantum chemical origins and the methods of phenomenological descriptions of molecular similarity. The emphasis on reactivity is a unique feature. The exposition of computational methods and the prediction of reactivities, as well as the description of actual computer programs constitute important aspects of the book. Specific applications in drug design and techniques for the interpretation of the roles of functional groups in reactivity are of interest in molecular engineering. The selection of topics provides a detailed and balanced introduction to the field of similarity-based assessment of chemical reactivity. For researchers and graduate students in both fundamental chemistry and applied fields, such as biochemistry, pharmacology and drug design.

Book Synopsis Stochastic Dynamics Of Reacting Biomolecules by : Werner Ebeling
Download or read book Stochastic Dynamics Of Reacting Biomolecules written by Werner Ebeling and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2003-01-29 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about the physical processes in reacting complex molecules, particularly biomolecules. In the past decade scientists from different fields such as medicine, biology, chemistry and physics have collected a huge amount of data about the structure, dynamics and functioning of biomolecules. Great progress has been achieved in exploring the structure of complex molecules. However, there is still a lack of understanding of the dynamics and functioning of biological macromolecules. In particular this refers to enzymes, which are the basic molecular machines working in living systems. This book contributes to the exploration of the physical mechanisms of these processes, focusing on critical aspects such as the role of nonlinear excitations and of stochastic effects. An extensive range of original results has been obtained in the last few years by the authors, and these results are presented together with a comprehensive survey of the state of the art in the field.
Book Synopsis The Reaction Path in Chemistry: Current Approaches and Perspectives by : D. Heidrich
Download or read book The Reaction Path in Chemistry: Current Approaches and Perspectives written by D. Heidrich and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The so-called reaction path (RP) with respect to the potential energy or the Gibbs energy ("free enthalpy") is one of the most fundamental concepts in chemistry. It significantly helps to display and visualize the results of the complex microscopic processes forming a chemical reaction. This concept is an implicit component of conventional transition state theory (TST). The model of the reaction path and the TST form a qualitative framework which provides chemists with a better understanding of chemical reactions and stirs their imagination. However, an exact calculation of the RP and its neighbourhood becomes important when the RP is used as a tool for a detailed exploring of reaction mechanisms and particularly when it is used as a basis for reaction rate theories above and beyond TST. The RP is a theoretical instrument that now forms the "theoretical heart" of "direct dynamics". It is particularly useful for the interpretation of reactions in common chemical systems. A suitable definition of the RP of potential energy surfaces is necessary to ensure that the reaction theories based on it will possess sufficiently high quality. Thus, we have to consider three important fields of research: - Analysis of potential energy surfaces and the definition and best calculation of the RPs or - at least - of a number of selected and chemically interesting points on it. - The further development of concrete vers ions of reaction theory beyond TST which are applicable for common chemical systems using the RP concept.

Book Synopsis Neural Networks in Chemical Reaction Dynamics by : Lionel Raff
Download or read book Neural Networks in Chemical Reaction Dynamics written by Lionel Raff and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-18 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents recent advances in neural network (NN) approaches and applications to chemical reaction dynamics. Topics covered include: (i) the development of ab initio potential-energy surfaces (PES) for complex multichannel systems using modified novelty sampling and feedforward NNs; (ii) methods for sampling the configuration space of critical importance, such as trajectory and novelty sampling methods and gradient fitting methods; (iii) parametrization of interatomic potential functions using a genetic algorithm accelerated with a NN; (iv) parametrization of analytic interatomic potential functions using NNs; (v) self-starting methods for obtaining analytic PES from ab inito electronic structure calculations using direct dynamics; (vi) development of a novel method, namely, combined function derivative approximation (CFDA) for simultaneous fitting of a PES and its corresponding force fields using feedforward neural networks; (vii) development of generalized PES using many-body expansions, NNs, and moiety energy approximations; (viii) NN methods for data analysis, reaction probabilities, and statistical error reduction in chemical reaction dynamics; (ix) accurate prediction of higher-level electronic structure energies (e.g. MP4 or higher) for large databases using NNs, lower-level (Hartree-Fock) energies, and small subsets of the higher-energy database; and finally (x) illustrative examples of NN applications to chemical reaction dynamics of increasing complexity starting from simple near equilibrium structures (vibrational state studies) to more complex non-adiabatic reactions. The monograph is prepared by an interdisciplinary group of researchers working as a team for nearly two decades at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK with expertise in gas phase reaction dynamics; neural networks; various aspects of MD and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of nanometric cutting, tribology, and material properties at nanoscale; scaling laws from atomistic to continuum; and neural networks applications to chemical reaction dynamics. It is anticipated that this emerging field of NN in chemical reaction dynamics will play an increasingly important role in MD, MC, and quantum mechanical studies in the years to come.
Book Synopsis New Theoretical Concepts for Understanding Organic Reactions by : Juan Bertrán
Download or read book New Theoretical Concepts for Understanding Organic Reactions written by Juan Bertrán and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People who attended the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) entitled NEW THEORETICAL CONCEPTS FOR UNDERSTANDING ORGANIC REAC TIONS held at Sant Feliu de Gufxols on the Costa Brava of Spain had a unique experience. They have seen the evolution of the field from qualitative arguments through the generation of Potential Energy Surfaces (PES) to the use of PES in molecular dynamics. The excellent lectures that were dedicated to the various aspects of Potential Energy Surfaces clearly revealed a colossal amount of ma terial that represents our current understanding of the overall problem. It is our hope that the present volume will recreate the excitement in the readers that we all experienced during the meeting in Spain. One can say, without too much exaggeration, that chemistry has become and exercise on potential energy surfaces (PES). Structural (position of the energy minima), spectroscopic (vicinity around the minima), and reactivity (reaction path along the surface) properties may be determined from the analysis of PES. New theoretical tools, together with recent developments in computer technology and programming, have allowed to obtain a better knowledge of these surfaces, and to extract further chemical information from them, so new horizons have been added to Theoretical Organic Chemistry.
