Abstract
We present the first analytic-derivative-based formulation of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) atomic axial tensors for second-order Mo̷ller-Plesset (MP2) perturbation theory. We compare our implementation to our recently reported finite-difference approach and find close agreement, thus validating the new formulation. The new approach is dramatically less computationally expensive than the numerical derivative method with an overall computational scaling of . In addition, we report the first fully analytic VCD spectrum for (S)-methyloxirane at the MP2 level of theory.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation invites new and original contributions with the understanding that, if accepted, they will not be published elsewhere. Papers reporting new theories, methodology, and/or important applications in quantum electronic structure, molecular dynamics, and statistical mechanics are appropriate for submission to this Journal. Specific topics include advances in or applications of ab initio quantum mechanics, density functional theory, design and properties of new materials, surface science, Monte Carlo simulations, solvation models, QM/MM calculations, biomolecular structure prediction, and molecular dynamics in the broadest sense including gas-phase dynamics, ab initio dynamics, biomolecular dynamics, and protein folding. The Journal does not consider papers that are straightforward applications of known methods including DFT and molecular dynamics. The Journal favors submissions that include advances in theory or methodology with applications to compelling problems.
