Abstract

Effective fragment potential version 2-molecular dynamics (EFP2-MD) simulations, where the EFP2 is a polarizable force field based on ab initio electronic structure calculations, were applied to predict the static and dynamic liquid properties of compressed liquid NH3. By analyzing the temperature dependence of the radial distribution function, the autocorrelation functions of velocity (Cv(t)) and reorientation (Cr(t)), and the self-diffusion constant, we clarified that the ab initio EFP2 force field can effectively describe the properties of compressed liquids. These descriptions can be performed with at least semiquantitative accuracy and at a sufficiently low computational cost. In the EFP2-MD protocol, no force field training is required. This training is mandatory when simulating liquid properties with classical MD techniques (especially in extreme conditions with high pressures and temperatures). EFP2-MD is a promising technique for predicting the physicochemical properties of novel functional compressed liquids, including supercritical fluid phase properties.

Molecular-level insights into the transporting properties of liquid materials (particularly under extreme conditions involving high pressures and temperatures) are important in the fields of chemical engineering and physical solution chemistry. (1) For example, supercritical fluids made up of small organic molecules are used both as extraction solvents and as novel organic synthesis environments. (2,3) Supercritical fluids can be mixed with the other supercritical fluids or gases because intermolecular interactions among their constituent molecules are weak, i.e., their diffusion constants are very large. With these backgrounds, prediction of the physicochemical nature of functional compressed liquids (including supercritical fluids) has attracted the interest of many engineers. The self-diffusion constant is one of the most important dynamic properties of liquid materials. Researchers have used classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to evaluate the self-diffusion constants of functional liquids under various extreme conditions. (4−10) As is well known, however, classical MD simulations are based on classical force fields (FFs), which describe the intra/intermolecular interaction potential of the target systems. Generally, classical force fields are optimized for reproducing (1) experimentally observed target material properties or (2) intermolecular interactions evaluated by high-level quantum chemical calculations for various molecular configurations. Without a great effort, it is very difficult to obtain sufficiently accurate classical force field parameters for novel (unknown) functional liquid materials, especially under extreme conditions. To predict functional liquid’s properties, it is mandatory to apply ab initio MD (AIMD) calculations (e.g., Car–Parrinello MD, CPMD; (11,12) fragment molecular orbital based MD, FMO-MD (13−18)), in which intermolecular interaction is evaluated on a quantum mechanical level. However, because the computational costs of AIMD are much higher than those of classical MDs, it had been difficult to perform AIMD simulations to predict novel functions of compressed liquid materials, including supercritical fluids.
Recently, we showed that it is possible to predict mixed solvent properties using effective fragment potential version 2-MD simulations (EFP2-MD). (19) In the EFP2-MD protocol, where internal degrees of freedom in the target molecules are fixed, we focus only on relative molecular motions. The intermolecular potential is evaluated by describing each interaction term (i.e., electrostatic, exchange-repulsion, polarization, and dispersion interactions) by compactly pre-expanding each monomer wave function (for details, see the next section). (20,21) Because the EFP2-MD method is based on a quantum mechanical wave function for monomer fragments, it is possible to apply the method to various liquid systems as a relatively cheap AIMD simulation with predictive accuracy. (19,22−25) EFP2-MD has well-balanced characteristics of low computational cost and semiquantitative chemical accuracy. These characteristics make EFP2-MD promising for applications involving the prediction of the physicochemical nature of novel compressed liquids. In this paper, we discuss the applicability of EFP2-MD simulations to the prediction of static and dynamic liquid properties under high-pressure conditions, including the properties of supercritical fluids. As a test system, we focus on highly compressed liquid NH3.

Here, we explain the EFP2 theory in more detail. The original version of the EFP, which is often called EFP1, was developed by Day and Gordon et al. (20,26) Focusing on only hydrating systems, in the EFP1 theory, intermolecular interactions in the target systems were described by the compactly expanded localized wave function of constituent monomer fragment molecules, in which repulsive interaction term was modeled with some empirical parameters. The EFP2 is an upgraded theory of the original EFP1 to suit for not only water solvent but also general solvents without using any empirical parameters. (20,21)
In the EFP2 theory, total interfragment interaction is evaluated as the sum of the four energy components.
(1)
where EES, EEXREP, EPOL, and EDISP are electrostatic, exchange-repulsion, polarization, and dispersion energies, respectively.
Electrostatic interaction is calculated by multipole expansion, for which expansion points are at the atoms and bond-midpoints generated by means of Stone distributed multipolar analysis. (27) In the case of short ranges, Coulomb interactions are damped in consideration of the overlap of the fragments to avoid excessive instability. (28−30) Exchange-repulsion is evaluated as an intermolecular overlap truncated at the quadratic term. (31−33) Kinetic and overlap integrals are calculated between each pair of fragments on the fly using wave function for each fragment.
(2)
where i, j, k, and l are localized molecular orbitals; I and J are nuclei, S and T are the overlap and kinetic energy integrals, respectively; and F is the intramolecular Fock matrix. Polarization interaction is treated as induced dipoles of one fragment with static multipole field and the induced field of the other fragment. The truncated polarizability term is evaluated as a tensor sum of anisotropic localized molecular orbital polarizabilities. (34) Dispersion interaction, which is an interaction among the induced dipoles, is expressed by an inverse R expansion.
(3)
where the 1/R6 term is the so-called van der Waals interaction term and the 1/R8 term is added to correct short-range interactions. (35)
As seen in the above equations, EFP2 theory is based on well-defined molecular fragmentation with no chemical reaction. In EFP2-MD simulations, the EFP2 was applied to describe intermolecular potentials in an ab initio manner.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether EFP2-MD simulations can predict compressed liquids properties. First, the molecular structure of NH3 was optimized using quantum chemical calculations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. (36) With respect to the optimum structures, an ab initio polarizable EFP2 force field was determined using the “MAKEFP” module implemented in the GAMESS-US (Aug 2016 version) quantum chemical program package. (37)
Before performing MD simulations, we evaluated EFP2 force field accuracy by comparing the intermolecular interaction potential-energy surfaces obtained by a set of EFP2 and quantum chemical calculations at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. The structural parameters used in the potential-surface evaluation are shown in Figure 1. To compare EFP2 and CCSD(T) (in terms of both their total interaction energies and their physicochemical components, i.e., electrostatic, exchange-repulsion, polarization, and dispersion components), the CCSD(T) interaction energies were decomposed using a localized molecular orbital energy decomposition analysis (LMO-EDA) method. (38) In the LMO-EDA calculations, we applied a counterpoise method to correct basis set superposition errors.

After the EFP2 accuracy evaluation, we subsequently performed a set of EFP2-MD simulations for the supercritical and compressed liquid phases of NH3. In the EFP2-MD simulations, we used a set of cubic periodic boxes containing 500 NH3 molecules having an isothermal–isobaric (NPT) ensemble, with a cutoff distance of 10 Å. The time step was set to 1 fs per step for the EFP2-MD simulations. The pressure condition was set to a constant value of 500 bar. Although the temperature conditions were varied as 203, 243, 323, 373, 423, 473, and 700 K, we theoretically evaluated the density and diffusion constant of NH3. The Nosé–Hoover and Hoover’s equations were applied for thermal and pressure controls, respectively. With the above conditions, a set of 0.8 ns equilibration and 1.0 ns production runs were performed to evaluate the radial distribution functions (RDFs), autocorrelation velocity functions (Cv(t)), reorientation functions (Cr(t)), and self-diffusion constants.

4.1. Accuracy of the EFP2 Force Field

Figure 2 depicts intermolecular interaction potential-energy surfaces for NH3 dimers (at R = 3.5 Å and φ = 0 degree; see the definitions of R and φ in Figure 2). The figure also gives the mean error (in kcal mol–1) for the EFP2 force field from the highly accurate quantum chemical CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. Figure 2 clearly shows that the EFP2 force field follows the corresponding CCSD(T) results within chemical accuracy. If we examine the potential data in more detail, EFP2 overestimates instability around the structure of (θ1, θ2) = (150 degree, 40 degree) relative to the CCSD(T) results. This occurs because of the EFP2’s tendency to underestimate dispersion interaction, which originates from the fact that the EFP2 dispersion interaction is expanded by the Hartree–Fock wave function of interacting monomer fragments. However, the difference in interaction potential between EFP2 and CCSD(T) is less than 1.5 kcal mol–1. This means that the EFP2 force field has sufficient accuracy for evaluating intermolecular interactions in the condensed phase of NH3.

4.2. Static and Dynamic Properties of Compressed/Supercritical NH3 Described with EFP2-MD Simulations

A set of N–N RDFs for different temperature conditions are depicted in Figure 3. To obtain the RDFs, we statistically averaged trajectory data along 150 ps EFP2-MD simulations. Compared with that of the previous classical MD report using specially parametrized force fields for reproducing intermolecular interaction potential by quantum chemistry calculations, (7) our RDFs gave basically similar structures. In the RDFs, the NH3 distributions (N atom) around other N atoms are given for the temperature conditions. Under relatively low temperature conditions, we observed a set of apparent peaks assigned to the first and second NH3 hydration shells. With increasing temperatures, the second RDF peak vanishes, resulting in a very broad band. With the temperature ascension, we also observed a decrease in the NH3 coordination number (nNN), which is evaluated as the integral of the RDF along the radial coordinate (see Table 1). These observations indicate that increasing temperatures lead to a phase transition from a compressed liquid to a supercritical fluid.

The liquid-supercritical NH3 densities in the temperature range of 203–700 K were 0.741–0.164 and 0.652–0.134 g cm–3 by experimental methods (7) and EFP2-MD, respectively. EFP2-MD gave ca. −10% systematic error. It should be reminded that rigid rotor approximation was applied in the EFP2 theory. Thus, theoretical densities obtained by the EFP2-MD should be smaller than the experimental values because all molecules in the system have frozen degrees of freedom. On the other hand, the corresponding density change by OPLS3-MD was 0.820–0.143 g cm–3. That is, OPLS3-MD gave ca. +10% overestimation and −10% underestimation with varying temperature conditions. In the case of density prediction for novel liquids including supercritical fluids, EFP2-MD with a set of systematic error that can be explained by proper physicochemical reasons would be preferred.
NH3 confined in a high-pressure box is polarized because the average intermolecular distance is shorter than it is under physicochemically mild conditions. Figure 4 depicts variations in the temporal dipole moment of NH3 simulated by EFP2-MD simulations (T = 203, 473, and 700 K). We observed that almost all NH3 molecules were strongly polarized in the compressed liquid phase (T = 203 K). The average variation in dipole moment was +0.65 Debye under these conditions, meaning that the strong polarization of NH3 must be considered. When heating the system to induce a transition into the supercritical fluid phase (T = 473 and 700 K), the distribution of the strongly polarized NH3 was observed to be sparse with the elongation of averaged intermolecular distance. It should be noted that several NH3 molecules in supercritical fluid phase remained strongly polarized. This can be explained by the fact that microscopic density fluctuates in supercritical fluids (i.e., several NH3 molecules form microclusters). When higher temperature conditions were simulated, the population of strongly polarized NH3 molecules decreased.

Figure 4

Figure 4. Temporal dipole moment variations for NH3 simulated by EFP2-MD simulations (T = 203, 473, and 700 K). The variations were defined as differences from the dipole moment of free NH3 molecules predicted by the EFP2 theory (1.61 Debye, which agrees well with experimental data of 1.47 Debye (39)). For clarity, NH3 molecules are depicted as single atoms placed at their centers of mass, and a set of representative snapshot structures with time evolution are depicted.

The temperature dependencies of the autocorrelation functions for velocity (Cv(t)) and reorientation (Cr(t)) are given in Figure 5. Defining u as a unit vector along the principal C3 axis of NH3, Cr(t) can be represented by the following equation
(4)
where θ(t) is the angle formed by the principal C3 axes of NH3 at t = 0 and t. From Figure 5a, we observed that the rate of Cr(t) decay increases with ascending temperatures. This can be well explained by the fact that liquid density decreases with increasing temperatures. In low-density conditions, Cr(t) diminishes more rapidly because molecular rotation is easy. The temperature dependence of Cr(t) simulated by our EFP2-MD method appropriately followed previous classical MD reports by Vyalov. (40) The following equation defines the autocorrelation function for velocity (Cv(t))
(5)
Cv(t) is a function that describes the relative translational motion of the target molecule in its condensed phase. For an ideal gas, Cv(t) is always equal to 1 because of the lack of molecular collision. As shown in Figure 5b, a set of exponential decays of Cv(t) is observed for relatively high temperature (i.e., low density) conditions (323–700 K). In contrast, according to our simulations, Cv(t) becomes negative for t = 0.1–0.5 ps in the compressed liquid phase at a low temperature (203 K). The negative value of Cv(t) means that the translation direction is scattered by molecular collision because of the high density of the compressed liquid. By analyzing dynamic molecular motion, it was clarified that we successfully modeled two different condensed phases (the compressed liquid phase and the supercritical fluid phase), using an EFP2-MD simulation with changing temperature conditions.

Finally, it would be useful to demonstrate the merits of applying the EFP2-MD scheme to further study liquid materials. In Figure 6, the self-diffusion constants of NH3 predicted by the EFP2-MD simulation were shown as functions of temperature. In this study, the self-diffusion constants (D) were defined according to the following equation, using the long-time limits of the mean-square displacement.
(6)
As shown in Figure 6, classical MD with optimized FF, which is specially optimized for reproducing intermolecular interaction potential by quantum chemistry calculations, well followed the experimental self-diffusion constants by Groß et al. (41) On the other hand, EFP2-MD and OPLS3-MD (42) gave slight overestimates of self-diffusion constants compared with the experimental results. It should be noted that our object in this study is not to reproduce experimental data in an exact manner but to predict a dynamic physicochemical property such as self-diffusion constant prior to performing experiments with semiquantitative accuracy and low computational costs. Generally speaking, evaluation of diffusion constants is difficult even to reproduce their order without applying well-trained force fields. Figure 6 shows that EFP2-MD has succeeded in reproducing the order of diffusion constants with no effort for optimizing such empirical parameters. The overall results presented in this report indicate that a new stage of functional compressed liquid design (including the supercritical fluid phase) can be developed with EFP2-MD, a simple and sufficiently accurate ab initio MD scheme. It is well known that a set of long-term MD simulations (at least sub-ns order) is mandatory for predicting dynamic molecular properties like self-diffusion constants. Although there is significant need in the chemical engineering field to perform ab initio MD simulations for predicting liquid functionality (particularly for compressed liquids including supercritical fluids), it is currently very difficult to perform such predictive simulations because of their high computational costs relative to classical simulations. Thus, classical MD simulations with well-trained force field parameters have been used for engineering applications. Considering the balance between accuracy and computational and simulation setup costs, EFP2-MD is a promising protocol for designing functional liquids (including the physicochemical properties of such liquids) under high pressures and temperatures. The computational cost of EFP2-MD to obtain 1 ns trajectory for the target system is half week with modern in-house computers (32 CPU cores), which is much faster than so-called ab initio MD (e.g., CPMD, FMO-MD). In our group, physicochemical property predictions for various supercritical fluids are now in progress.

5. Concluding Remarks

In this paper, the applicability of simulating strongly compressed liquids using EFP2-MD, including the supercritical fluid phase, was reported for NH3 using a set of numerical examples. Although the EFP2 force field was constructed only on the basis of the ab initio wave function for a monomer (NH3) fragment, we showed that both static (RDFs) and dynamic condensed phase properties (autocorrelation functions and self-diffusion constants) could be evaluated with sufficient accuracy compared with the previous experimental and theoretical data. No empirical parameterization, which is mandatory in classical MD simulations, was required before performing MD simulations with the EFP2-MD protocol, even for compressed liquids and supercritical fluids. Overall, we showed that it is possible to predict the dynamic liquid properties of compressed liquids, at least semiquantitatively, using the simple EFP2-MD protocol described in this report.

  • Abstract

    Figure 1

    Figure 1. Coordinate system of an NH3 dimer.

    Figure 2

    Figure 2. Two-dimensional potential-energy surfaces obtained by LMO-EDA and EFP2 methods. For the LMO-EDA, we applied an ab initio CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ level of quantum chemical calculation.

    Figure 3

    Figure 3. Temperature dependence of N–N radial distribution functions (RDFs) for compressed NH3.

    Figure 4

    Figure 4. Temporal dipole moment variations for NH3 simulated by EFP2-MD simulations (T = 203, 473, and 700 K). The variations were defined as differences from the dipole moment of free NH3 molecules predicted by the EFP2 theory (1.61 Debye, which agrees well with experimental data of 1.47 Debye (39)). For clarity, NH3 molecules are depicted as single atoms placed at their centers of mass, and a set of representative snapshot structures with time evolution are depicted.

    Figure 5

    Figure 5. Temperature dependencies of Cr(t) and Cv(t) for compressed NH3.

    Figure 6

    Figure 6. Dependence of the self-diffusion constant of NH3 on temperature. Experimental and classical MD (optimized FF) data were those reported by Orabi et al. (7)
