While established physics-based methods face limitations in prediction accuracy and scope, emerging machine learning approaches, such as matrix completion methods (MCMs), offer promising alternatives. However, their performance can suffer in data-sparse regions. To address this issue, we propose a novel hybrid MCM for predicting activity coefficients at infinite dilution at 298 K that not only uses experimental training data but also includes synthetic training data from two sources: predictions obtained from the physics-based modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) and from a similarity-based approach developed in previous work. The resulting hybrid method combines the broad applicability of MCMs with the precision of the similarity-based approach, resulting in a more robust prediction framework that excels even in regions with limited data. Additionally, our analysis provides valuable insights into how different types of training data affect the prediction accuracy. When experimental data are sparse, incorporating synthetic training data from modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) and the similarity-based approach significantly improves the performance of the MCMs. Conversely, even with abundant experimental data, high accuracy is achieved only if the training set includes mixtures similar to those of interest.","PeriodicalId":59,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry A","volume":" ","pages":"3141-3147"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143655529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The resulting anion is strongly electronically bound, with an excess electron binding energy of 4.306 eV. The subsequent attachment of Li+ or Na+ ions to this anion leads to the formation of ionic salts (CH3)2ZnClLi or (CH3)2ZnClNa. These salts, formed through this two-step process, are thermodynamically stable and represent stabilized forms of dimethylzinc, from which the pure dimethylzinc compound can be regenerated via the procedures suggested in this work.

In the past few years, we have seen an increase in the applicability of these tools on a plethora of applications, including the automated exploration of a large fraction of the chemical space, the reduction of repetitive computational tasks, the detection of outliers on large databases, and the acceleration of molecular simulations. An attractive application of machine learning in molecular electronic structure theory is the \"recycling\" of molecular wave functions for faster and more accurate completion of complex quantum chemical calculations. Along these lines, we have developed hybrid quantum chemical/machine learning workflows that utilize information from low-level wave functions for the accurate prediction of higher-level wave functions. The data-driven coupled-cluster (DDCC) family of methods is discussed in this article together with the importance of the inclusion of physical properties in such hybrid workflows. After a short introduction to the philosophy and the capabilities of DDCC, we present our recent progress in extending its applicability to larger and more complex molecular structures and data sets. A significant advantage offered by DDCC is its transferability, with respect to different molecular systems and different excitation levels. As we show here, predicted wave functions at the coupled-cluster singles and doubles level of theory can be used for the accurate prediction of the perturbative triples of the CCSD(T) scheme. We conclude with some personal considerations with respect to future directions related to the development of the next generation of such hybrid quantum chemical/machine learning models.","PeriodicalId":59,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry A","volume":" ","pages":"2988-2997"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143707786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A series of monomer mixtures at Phg-to-HCCP stoichiometric ratios ranging from 1:1 to 8:1 were created using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Alternating phases of reactions followed by relaxation steps led to the progressive formation of percolating polyphosphazene networks. The actual ratios of Phg to HCCP rings incorporated in the network polymers remained close to those in the mixtures for initial ratios up to 2:1. Above 2:1, there was a gradual divergence toward lower values in the networks as the limits to the number of possible bonds for each monomer started to take effect. The details of the structures were found to be very complex in terms of the probability distributions of links per Phg or HCCP ring. The highest degrees of connectivity and ring packing densities were found in the networks formed from the initial mixtures having Phg-to-HCCP ratios of around 2:1. Mechanical tests were carried out in order to ascertain the resistance of the model polyphosphazene networks to compression/decompression. There again, the networks obtained from the 2:1 initial mixture were found to have the highest Young's modulus and to display the most elasticity as they recovered their initial shape once the compression was removed. The influence of trapped excess monomers in the percolating networks was only noticeable at the highest mixture ratios. The most resistant Phg-HCCP networks are thus obtained from Phg-to-HCCP mixture ratios of around 2:1, with or without trapped excess monomers.","PeriodicalId":59,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry A","volume":" ","pages":"3148-3165"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143699110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The three systems have similar O-O bond dissociation energies based on W1BD calculations and thus similar energy release to products. In each case, the experimental total kinetic energy release (TKER) distributions are bimodal, composed of narrow low and broad high TKER components extending over the available energy. The associated angular distributions of the OH X2Π products are isotropic, differing dramatically from those predicted for direct photodissociation. Complementary theoretical calculations map the relaxed potential energy profile for each ROOH along the steeply repulsive excited state (S1) potential leading to RO + OH products. Low CCOO torsional barriers predicted along the ROOH dissociation pathway enable the OH products to recoil in many different directions, yielding isotropic angular distributions. Simple models of photodissociation suggest that the low TKER component arises from internal conversion to the ground state (S0) potential, leading to a common RO + OH product asymptote. A simple impulsive model for dissociation captures some aspects of the high TKER component but neglects significant geometric changes in the alkyl substituent from ROOH to the RO product. This study provides new insight into the solar photolysis of organic hydroperoxides and the regeneration of OH radicals in atmospheric oxidation cycles.","PeriodicalId":59,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry A","volume":" ","pages":"3052-3062"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143668492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, infrared spectra of pyridine (Pyd) and methanol (CH3OH) or deuterated methanol (CH3OD) clusters were measured in the spectral range of 2400-3800 cm-1 using an infrared-vacuum ultraviolet (IR-VUV) scheme. The geometric conformer, infrared spectra of the possible products, and reaction paths were investigated utilizing quantum chemical calculations. By comparing the experimental and theoretically calculated spectra, we found that only a unique hydrogen-bonded structure exists within the Pyd-CH3OH complex, characterized by a linear hydrogen bond conformer between the two constituent molecules. On the other hand, interestingly, we observed a relatively weak NH vibrational peak at 3383 cm-1 in the infrared spectra of both cationic Pyd-CH3OH and Pyd-CH3OD, suggesting that proton transfer has occurred via at least two distinct pathways. These pathways likely involve a proton transfer reaction from either the OH group or the CH3 group of CH3OH to the nitrogen atom of Pyd, with the transfer from the OH group being the predominant route. Through the theoretical calculations, we also found that a new C-C bond can be formed between the two moieties after the proton transfer reactions.","PeriodicalId":59,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry A","volume":" ","pages":"3012-3019"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143668494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
