    Abstract Path integral (PI) simulations are used to explore nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) in hydroxide hydrate and its perdeuterated isotopomer along the H-bond bifurcation pathway. Toward this, a new potential energy surface using the symmetric gradient domain machine learning method with ab initio data at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ level is built. From PI umbrella sampling (US) simulations, free energy profiles along the bifurcation coordinate are explored as a function of temperature. At ambient temperature, the bifurcation barrier is increased upon inclusion of NQEs. At low temperatures in the deep tunneling regime, the barrier is strongly decreased and flattened. These trends are examined, and the role of the O-O distance is also investigated through two-dimensional US simulations.

    Abstract We present the catecholate monoanion as a new model system for the study of multidimensional tunneling. It has a symmetrical O-H double-well structure, and the H atom motion between the two wells is coupled to both low and high frequency modes with different strengths. With a view to studying mode-specific tunneling in the catecholate monoanion, we have developed a full (33) dimensional potential energy surface in transition state (TS) normal modes using a Distributed Gaussian Empirical Valence Bond (DGEVB) based approach. We have computed eigenstates in different subspaces using both unrelaxed and relaxed potentials based on the DGEVB model. With unrelaxed potentials, we present results up to 7D subspaces that include the imaginary frequency mode and six modes coupled to it. With relaxed potentials, we focus on the two most important coupling modes. The structures of the ground and vibrationally excited eigenstates are discussed for both approaches and mode-specific tunneling splitting and their trends are presented.

    Abstract We present a theoretical investigation of the excited-state intermolecular proton transfer process in a 2-aminopyridine dimer. Previous experimental and theoretical studies on this doubly hydrogen bonded system have attributed an ultrafast 50 fs timescale to the process at low excitation wavelengths and have shown that it involves access to the charge transfer (CT) states of the dimer. We have carried out a trajectory-based surface hopping study of the proton transfer process. To this end, we have further studied the key intersections between locally excited (LE) and CT states that facilitate the proton transfer as well as the eventual ground state return at the XMS-CASPT2 level of theory. The dynamical simulations to investigate the charge transfer-driven event are performed at both the XMS-CASPT2 and TDDFT levels of theory. Trajectories are initiated from the excited states that are either already of CT character or become so upon a short extension of the NH bond. This kind of dynamics is found to be ultrafast with a timescale of about 100 fs, where the dimer rapidly accesses the LE/CT intersection regions en route to single proton transfer. After the transfer, some trajectories are also able to reach the ground state as well through a non-adiabatic transition. In contrast, trajectories that are initiated on an LE state remain on states of that character and do not show proton transfer. However, additionally providing 3 or 4 quanta of initial excitation to the NH stretch was found to promote CT state-driven proton transfer in the dimer.

    Abstract We have simulated the dynamics of 1πσ* state-mediated nonadiabatic N-H bond dissociation in photo-excited aniline (C6H5NH2). A three electronic state diabatic model potential, involving the ground, 1ππ*, and 1πσ* diabatic states, and focussing on the NH2 degrees of freedom alone is constructed using XMS-CASPT2 energies. Using a kinetic energy operator in the polyspherical framework, wavepacket dynamics in three vibrational modes, viz. NH stretch, NH2 out-of-plane wag and torsion, is carried out using the Chebyshev propagation scheme. For optically bright 1ππ* excitation, the wavepacket can access the 1πσ*/1ππ* and 1ππ/1πσ* conical intersections that lie en route to dissociation. For both intersections, NH2 out-of-plane wag and torsional motions are the most dominant coupling coordinates. Carrying out dynamics with initial wavepackets varying in excitation in the three degrees of freedom, we probe their roles in the evolution of the state populations, probability densities, and product branching for the NH dissociation process.

    Abstract Extending the previous work of Lan et al. [J. Chem. Phys., 122, 224315 (2005)], a multi-state potential model for the H atom photodissociation is presented. All three "disappearing coordinates" of the departing H atom have been considered. Ab initio CASSCF computations have been carried out for the linear COH geometry of C(2v) symmetry, and for several COH angles with the OH group in the ring plane and also perpendicular to the ring plane. By keeping the C6H5O fragment frozen in a C(2v)-constrained geometry throughout, we have been able to apply symmetry-based simplifications in the constructions of adiabatic model. This model is able to capture the overall trends of twelve adiabats at both torsional limits for a wide range of COH bend angles.

    Abstract If a deuterated molecule containing strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds is placed in a hydrogenated solvent, it may preferentially exchange deuterium for hydrogen. This preference is due to the difference between the vibrational zero-point energy for hydrogen and deuterium. It is found that the associated fractionation factor Φ is correlated with the strength of the intramolecular hydrogen bonds. This correlation has been used to determine the length of the H-bonds (donor-acceptor separation) in a diverse range of enzymes and has been argued to support the existence of short low-barrier H-bonds. Starting with a potential energy surface based on a simple diabatic state model for H-bonds, we calculate Φ as a function of the proton donor-acceptor distance R. For numerical results, we use a parameterization of the model for symmetric O-H⋯O bonds [R. H. McKenzie, Chem. Phys. Lett. 535, 196 (2012)]. We consider the relative contributions of the O-H stretch vibration, O-H bend vibrations (both in plane and out of plane), tunneling splitting effects at finite temperature, and the secondary geometric isotope effect. We compare our total Φ as a function of R with NMR experimental results for enzymes, and in particular with an earlier model parametrization Φ(R), used previously to determine bond lengths.

    Abstract This work considers how the properties of hydrogen bonded complexes, X-H⋯Y, are modified by the quantum motion of the shared proton. Using a simple two-diabatic state model Hamiltonian, the analysis of the symmetric case, where the donor (X) and acceptor (Y) have the same proton affinity, is carried out. For quantitative comparisons, a parametrization specific to the O-H⋯O complexes is used. The vibrational energy levels of the one-dimensional ground state adiabatic potential of the model are used to make quantitative comparisons with a vast body of condensed phase data, spanning a donor-acceptor separation (R) range of about 2.4-3.0 Å, i.e., from strong to weak hydrogen bonds. The position of the proton (which determines the X-H bond length) and its longitudinal vibrational frequency, along with the isotope effects in both are described quantitatively. An analysis of the secondary geometric isotope effect, using a simple extension of the two-state model, yields an improved agreement of the predicted variation with R of frequency isotope effects. The role of bending modes is also considered: their quantum effects compete with those of the stretching mode for weak to moderate H-bond strengths. In spite of the economy in the parametrization of the model used, it offers key insights into the defining features of H-bonds, and semi-quantitatively captures several trends.
