用精密从头算方法研究了(H2O)11的9种低能异构体的性质,包括优化的几何结构、结合能、偶极矩和氢键个数等,并且得出了515-a是(H2O)11的全局最低能结构.同时,也用ABEEM/MM(atom bond electronegativity equalization method/molecular mechanics)模型研究了这些性质,与从头算的结果进行了比较,得到了相符合的结果.这显示了ABEEM/MM模型在描述中等大小的水分子团簇结构上是成功的.
Global minimum of (H2O)11 obtained from five empirical water models (SPC/E, TIP3P, TIP4P, POL3 and TIM2-F) and the ab initio method are different and controversial. We studied properties of nine low-energy isomers of (H2O)11 with the accurate ab initio method. We calculated optimized geometrical structures, binding energies, the dipole moment of (H2O)11 and H-bond number and found that the 515-a structure was the global minimum of (H2O)11. We also studied the properties of (H2O)11 with the ABEEM/MM (atom bond electronegativity equalization method/ molecular mechanics) model and its results are in good agreement with those from the ab initio method. This work shows that the ABEEM/MM model is quite successful in describing medium-sized water cluster structures.
