30 Molecular Simulation Molecular Mechanics: Molecular Mechanics: The Potential energy surface (PES): The Potential energy surface (PES): Born-Oppenheimer approx. allows us to separate electronic and nuclear motion Born-Oppenheimer approx. allows us to separate electronic and nuclear motion when nuclei move, the electrons re-adjust quickly when nuclei move, the electrons re-adjust quickly energy of molecule is a function of the positions of the nuclei energy of molecule is a function of the positions of the nuclei potential energy surface describes energy of a molecule in terms of its structure potential energy surface describes energy of a molecule in terms of its structure

31 Molecular Simulation

32 Structure Structure determined from the potential energy surface determined from the potential energy surface minimum corresponds to an equilibrium structure minimum corresponds to an equilibrium structure first order saddle point corresponds to a transition state for a reaction first order saddle point corresponds to a transition state for a reaction a reaction path is the steepest descent path connecting a transition state to minima a reaction path is the steepest descent path connecting a transition state to minima Dynamics Dynamics molecules move on the potential energy surface molecules move on the potential energy surface dynamics can be treated classically or quantum mechanically dynamics can be treated classically or quantum mechanically small amplitude motions - normal modes of vibration small amplitude motions - normal modes of vibration large amplitude motions - trajectories, wave packets, reactions large amplitude motions - trajectories, wave packets, reactions statistical mechanics to connect microscopic to macroscopic statistical mechanics to connect microscopic to macroscopic
