A multiscale model based on the coupling of the multiconfigurational self-consistent field (MCSCF) method and the classical atomistic polarizable fluctuating charges (FQ) force field is presented. The resulting MCSCF/FQ approach is validated by exploiting the CASSCF scheme through application to compute vertical excitation energies of formaldehyde and para-nitroaniline in aqueous solution. The procedure is integrated with molecular dynamics simulations to capture the solute's conformational changes and the dynamic aspects of solvation. Comparative analysis with alternative solvent models, gas-phase calculations, and experimental data provides insights into the model's accuracy in reproducing solute-solvent molecular interactions and spectral signals.
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Theory and Computation invites new and original contributions with the understanding that, if accepted, they will not be published elsewhere.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.
