Electronic structure and reactivity of isomeric oxo-Mn(V) porphyrins: effects of spin-state crossing and pKa modulation.

TL;DR: In a two-state energy profile involving crossing of the initial singlet and final quintet potential energy surfaces, the 4-TMPyP isomer should be kinetically favored, according to theoretical results, which are in accord with new experimental data showing O=Mn(V)-O-H pK(a)s of 7.5 and 8.6 for the isomeric 2-T MPyP
Journal ArticleDOI

Reliable and practical computational description of molecular crystal polymorphs

TL;DR: This study presents a hierarchical energy ranking approach intended for the refinement of relative stabilities in the final stage of a crystal structure prediction procedure that provides excellent stability rankings for all studied systems and can be applied to molecular crystals of pharmaceutical importance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Signatures of a liquid-liquid transition in an ab initio deep neural network model for water.

TL;DR: State-of-the-art approaches in computational quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, and machine learning are used and evidence consistent with a liquid–liquid transition is obtained, supporting the argument for the existence of this phenomenon in real water.
Journal ArticleDOI

A microscopic model for surface-induced diamond-to-graphite transitions

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of first-principles molecular dynamics simulations of a surface-induced diamond-to-graphite transition are presented, which provide a microscopic model for the early stages of the graphitization process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Local structure analysis in ab initio liquid water

TL;DR: In this paper, the local structure index (LSI) order parameter was used to analyse the local structures of ambient liquid water, and the LSI probability distribution, P(I) was unimodal with most water molecules characterised by more disordered high-density-like local environments.
