采用包含BSSE校正的MP2/aug—cc—pVTZ方法对酰胺、二肽、尿嘧啶和水分子形成的氢键复合物的三体效应进行了研究,分析了三体作用能对体系总作用能的贡献.结果表明,在这些氢键复合物中,三体作用能占体系总作用能的10%~20%,三体作用属于近程作用,因此在分子模拟中至少应考虑近处的三体效应.
Many-body effect plays a critical role on the structures and properties of clusters and condensed phases. Therefore the quantitative evaluation of the strength of many-body effects is important. In this paper, the three-body interactions and their contributions to the total interaction energy for hydrogen-bonded complexes composed of amide, dipeptide, uracil and water were evaluated at the second-order perturbation MP2 level of theory. It is found that the three-body interactions contribute as high as 10%-20% to the total interaction energy of the hydrogen-bonded complexes. It is also found that the three-body interaction is a short-range interaction, suggesting that the neighboring three-body effect should be taken into account in molecular simulation at least.
