Towards the Realization of Ab Initio Dynamics at the Speed of Molecular Mechanics: Simulations with Interpolated Diabatic Hamiltonian

Abstract: Understanding photochemical processes often requires accurate descriptions of the nonadiabatic events involved. The cost of accurate quantum chemical simulations of the nonadiabatic dynamics of complex systems is typically high. Here, we discuss the use of interpolated quasi-diabatic potential-energy matrices, which aims to reduce the computational cost with minimal sacrifices in accuracy. It is shown that interpolation reproduces the reference ab initio information satisfactorily for a sizeable chromophore in… Show more

“…35 The data set contained energy and derivative information at 1500 chromophore conformations and covered a wide range of configurational space. 32 The environment that surrounded the chromophore was described with the conventional molecular mechanics model. The chromophore−environment interaction was handled by adopting the interpolation mechanics/molecular mechanics (IM/MM) approach.…”

“…32,36−38 Indeed, IM/MM aims to follow the accuracy of the more demanding quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) at a much reduced computational cost. 32 This approach models the interactions between the IM and the MM regions based on Coulomb and Lennard-Jones potentials together with linked hydrogen atoms over covalently bonded interfaces. The atomic partial charges of the chromophore were generated with our diabatic population matrix formalism 39 based on natural population analyses (NPA) 40 of the electron distributions in multiple electronic states.…”

“…I do not use the prefix quasior other conditionals to refer to diabatic states that are not adiabatic with respect to nuclear displacements, such as has been done elsewhere, the phrase "diabatic" being reserved for representations that are adiabatic with respect to nuclear displacements. 16,24,25 In typical SA-CASSCF, where the variational objective is the state-averaged energy (2.1), self-consistency is only preserved within degenerate subspaces of the CAS-CI ensemble density matrix. In the general case, SA-CASSCF solutions are not invariant to transformations of the CAS-CI Hilbert space.…”
