Hydrogen Bonding and the Energetics of Homolytic Dissociation in Solution

A Sequential Monte Carlo/Quantum Mechanics Approach

  • Chapter
  • 469 Accesses

Abstract

We discuss recent applications of microsolvation modeling and statistical mechanics Monte Carlo simulations to the energetics of homolytic bond dissociation in solution. This process, which generates free radical species in liquid phase is ubiquitous in many reactions of fundamental interest in chemistry and biochemistry including green plant photosynthesis and biocatalysis. Basic concepts of the microsolvation and Monte Carlo approaches to the energetics of homolytic bond dissociation in solution are reviewed and fundamentals of the sequential Monte Carlo/Quantum mechanics methodology are presented. By carrying out sequential Monte Carlo/Quantum mechanics calculations we stress the limitations of gas phase calculations based on local models such as microsolvation or hydrogen-bond-only and the importance of the statistical analysis of the solvation process for the understanding of the homolytic bond cleavage in solution. We give special emphasis to the relationship between solutesolvent hydrogen bonding, long-ranged interactions in polar solvents, and the energetics of homolytic bond dissociation.
