Parameterization of Ionic Liquids and Applications in Various Chemical SystemsVazquez Cervantes, Jose Enrique 12 1900 (has links)
In this work, the development of parameters for a series of imidazolium-based ionic liquids molecules, now included in the AMOEBA force field, is discussed. The quality of obtained parameters is tested in a variety of calculations to reproduce structural, thermodynamic, and transport properties. First, it is proposed a novel method to parameterize in a faster, and more efficient way parameters for the AMOEBA force field that can be applied to any imidazolim-based cation. Second, AMOEBA-IL polarizable force field is applied to study the N-tert-butyloxycarbonylation of aniline reaction mechanism in water/[EMIM][BF4] solvent via QM/MM approach and compared with the reaction carried out in gas-phase and implicit solvent media. Third, AMOEBA-IL force field is applied in alchemical calculations. Free energies of solvation for selected solutes solvated in [EMIm][OTf] are calculated via BAR method implemented in TINKER considering the effect of polarization as well as the methodology to perform the sampling of the alchemical process. Finally, QM/MM calculations using AMOEBA to get more insights into the catalytic reaction mechanism of horseradish peroxidase enzyme, particularly the structures involved in the transition from Cp I to Cp II.
