  • Free and Open Source Software for Computational Chemistry Education
    Free and Open Source Software for Computational Chemistry Education Susi Lehtola∗,y and Antti J. Karttunenz yMolecular Sciences Software Institute, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061, United States zDepartment of Chemistry and Materials Science, Aalto University, Espoo, Finland E-mail: [email protected].fi Abstract Long in the making, computational chemistry for the masses [J. Chem. Educ. 1996, 73, 104] is finally here. We point out the existence of a variety of free and open source software (FOSS) packages for computational chemistry that offer a wide range of functionality all the way from approximate semiempirical calculations with tight- binding density functional theory to sophisticated ab initio wave function methods such as coupled-cluster theory, both for molecular and for solid-state systems. By their very definition, FOSS packages allow usage for whatever purpose by anyone, meaning they can also be used in industrial applications without limitation. Also, FOSS software has no limitations to redistribution in source or binary form, allowing their easy distribution and installation by third parties. Many FOSS scientific software packages are available as part of popular Linux distributions, and other package managers such as pip and conda. Combined with the remarkable increase in the power of personal devices—which rival that of the fastest supercomputers in the world of the 1990s—a decentralized model for teaching computational chemistry is now possible, enabling students to perform reasonable modeling on their own computing devices, in the bring your own device 1 (BYOD) scheme. In addition to the programs’ use for various applications, open access to the programs’ source code also enables comprehensive teaching strategies, as actual algorithms’ implementations can be used in teaching.

  • Atom: a MATLAB PACKAGE for MANIPULATION of MOLECULAR SYSTEMS
    Clays and Clay Minerals, Vol. 67, No. 5:419–426, 2019 atom: A MATLAB PACKAGE FOR MANIPULATION OF MOLECULAR SYSTEMS MICHAEL HOLMBOE * 1Chemistry Department, Umeå University, SE-901 87 Umeå, Sweden Abstract—This work presents Atomistic Topology Operations in MATLAB (atom), an open source library of modular MATLAB routines which comprise a general and flexible framework for manipulation of atomistic systems. The purpose of the atom library is simply to facilitate common operations performed for construction, manipulation, or structural analysis. Due to the data structure used, atoms and molecules can be operated upon based on different chemical names or attributes, such as atom-ormolecule-ID, name, residue name, charge, positions, etc. Furthermore, the Bond Valence Method and a neighbor-distance analysis can be performed to assign many chemical properties of inorganic molecules. Apart from reading and writing common coordinate files (.pdb, .xyz, .gro, .cif) and trajectories (.dcd, .trr, .xtc; binary formats are parsed via third-party packages), the atom library can also be used to generate topology files with bonding and angle information taking the periodic boundary conditions into account, and supports basic Gromacs, NAMD, LAMMPS, and RASPA2 topology file formats. Focusing on clay-mineral systems, the library supports CLAYFF (Cygan, 2004) but can also generate topology files for the INTERFACE forcefield (Heinz, 2005, 2013) for Gromacs and NAMD. Keywords—CLAYFF. Gromacs . INTERFACE force field . MATLAB . Molecular dynamics simulations . Monte Carlo INTRODUCTION Dombrowsky et al. 2018; Kapla & Lindén 2018; Matsunaga & Sugita 2018). This work presents the Molecular modeling is becoming increasingly important in Atomistic Topology Operations in MATLAB (atom)li- many different areas of fundamental and applied research brary – a large collection of >100 modular MATLAB (Cygan 2001;Luetal.2006; Medina, 2009).

  • Advances in Automated Transition State Theory Calculations: Improvements on the Autotst Framework
    Advances in automated transition state theory calculations: improvements on the AutoTST framework Nathan D. Harmsa, Carl E. Underkofflera, Richard H. Westa aDepartment of Chemical Engineering Northeastern University, Boston, MA 02115, USA Abstract Kinetic modeling of combustion chemistry has made substantial progress in recent years with the development of increasingly detailed models. However, many of the chemical kinetic parameters utilized in detailed models are estimated, often inaccurately. To help replace rate estimates with more accurate calculations, we have developed AutoTST, an automated Transition State Theory rate calculator. This work describes improvements to AutoTST, including: a systematic conformer search to find an ensemble of low energy conformers, vibrational analysis to validate transition state geometries, more accurate symmetry number calculations, and a hindered rotor treatment when deriving kinetics. These improvements resulted in location of transition state geometry for 93% of cases and generation of kinetic parameters for 74% of cases. Newly calculated parameters agree well with benchmark calculations and perform well when used to replace estimated parameters in a detailed kinetic model of methanol combustion. Keywords: Transition state theory, Chemical kinetic models, Model comparison, Uncertainty 1. Introduction Detailed kinetic models allow researchers to understand the chemistry of complex phenomena in systems such as combustion and hetrogeneous catalysis, thus enabling them to make informed experimental design choices, and to design and optimize processes and devices. Microkinetic models often contain hundreds of intermediates and thousands of reactions, for which thermodynamic and kinetic parameters need to be specified [1,2]. These parameters are ideally determined experimen- tally or calculated theoretically with high accuracy, but most are estimated [3].

Open Source Molecular Modeling Somayeh Pirhadia, Jocelyn Sunseria, David Ryan Koesa,∗ aDepartment of Computational and Systems Biology, University of Pittsburgh Abstract The success of molecular modeling and computational chemistry efforts are, by definition, de- pendent on quality software applications. Open source software development provides many advantages to users of modeling applications, not the least of which is that the software is free and completely extendable. In this review we categorize, enumerate, and describe available open source software packages for molecular modeling and computational chemistry. 1. Introduction What is Open Source? Free and open source software (FOSS) is software that is both considered \free software," as defined by the Free Software Foundation (http://fsf.org) and \open source," as defined by the Open Source Initiative (http://opensource.org).

Abstract: Large scale implementation of high level computational theoretical chemical kinetics offers the prospect for dramatically improving the fidelity of combustion chemical modeling. As a first step toward this goal, we have developed a procedure for automatically generating the thermochemical data for combustion of an arbitrary fuel. The procedure begins by producing a list of combustion relevant species from a specification of the fuel and combustion conditions of interest. Then, for each element in the list of species, the procedure determines an internal coordinate z-matrix description of its structure, the optimal torsional configuration via Monte Carlo sampling, key rovibrational properties for that optimal geometry (including anharmonic corrections from torsional sampling and/or vibrational perturbation theory), and high level estimates of the electronic and zero-point energies via arbitrarily defined composite methods.

While different flavors of API stress testing systems have been used in experimental investigations for decades, the detailed kinetics of such systems as well as the chemical composition of prominent reactive species, specifically reactive oxygen species, are unknown. As a first step toward understanding and modeling API oxidation in stress testing, we investigated a typical radical "soup" solution an API is subject to during stress testing. Here we applied ab-initio electronic structure calculations to automatically generate and refine a detailed chemical kinetics model, taking a fresh look at API oxidation. We generated a detailed kinetic model for a representative azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN)/H2O/CH3OH stress-testing system with varied co-solvent ratio (50%/50% – 99.5%/0.5% vol. wa- ter/methanol) and for representative pH values (4–10) at 40 ℃ stirred and open to the atmosphere. At acidic conditions hydroxymethyl alkoxyl is the dominant alkoxyl radical, and at basic conditions, for most studied initial methanol concentrations, cyanoisopropyl alkoxyl becomes the dominant alkoxyl radical, albeit at an overall lower concentration.
