Intramolecular Force Mapping at Room Temperature. [PDF]
Acquisition of dense, three-dimensional, force fields with intramolecular resolution via noncontact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) has yielded enormous progress in our ability to characterize molecular and two-dimensional materials at the atomic scale. To date, intramolecular force mapping has been performed exclusively at cryogenic temperatures, due

Accelerating QM/MM Free Energy Computations via Intramolecular Force Matching. [PDF]
The calculation of free energy differences between levels of theory has numerous potential pitfalls. Chief among them is the lack of overlap, i.e., ensembles generated at one level of theory (e.g., "low") not being good approximations of ensembles at the other (e.g., "high"). Numerous strategies have been devised to mitigate this issue.

Intramolecular Force Contrast and Dynamic Current-Distance Measurements at Room Temperature [PDF]
Scanning probe microscopy can be used to probe the internal atomic structure of flat organic molecules. This technique requires an unreactive tip and has, until now, been demonstrated only at liquid helium and liquid nitrogen temperatures. We demonstrate intramolecular and intermolecular force contrast at room temperature on PTCDA molecules adsorbed on

Intramolecular Force Field of some Tetrahedral Molecules and Ions [PDF]
Abstract The orbital valence force field (OVFF), and the Urey-Bradley force field (UBFF) have been employed to calculate the force constants for six molecules and ions (AlCl4 -, AlBr4 -, AlI4 -, Til4 - , Os16O4 , and Os18O4).

Intramolecular Force Field of Some Tetrahedral Thio and Seleno Anions [PDF]
Abstract The orbital valence force field (OVFF) and the Urey- Bradley force field (UBFF) have been employed to evaluate the force constants of thio and seleno anions of VA, VB, VIB and VIIB group atoms of the periodic table. These constants were utilized to examine the relative strength of chemical bonds in isoelectronic sequences ...

Polymer Mechanochromism from Force-Tuned Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer [PDF]
Real-time monitoring of strain/stress in polymers is a big challenge to date. Herein, we for the first time report an ESIPT (excited-state intramolecular proton transfer)-based mechanochromic mechanophore (MM).

Theory of mechanical unfolding of homopolymer globule: all-or-none transition in force-clamp mode vs phase coexistence in position-clamp mode [PDF]
Equilibrium mechanical unfolding of a globule formed by long flexible homopolymer chain collapsed in a poor solvent and subjected to an extensional force f (force-clamp mode) or extensional deformation D (position-clamp mode) is studied theoretically. Our analysis, like all previous analysis of this problem, shows that the globule behaves essentially ...

Molecular Simulation of Caloric Properties of Fluids Modelled by Force Fields with Intramolecular Contributions: Application to Heat Capacities [PDF]
The calculation of caloric properties such as heat capacity, Joule-Thomson coefficients and the speed of sound by classical force-field-based molecular simulation methodology has received scant attention in the literature, particularly for systems composed of complex molecules whose force fields (FFs) are characterized by a combination of ...
