<Abstract:> カルサイトとその表面に特異的に吸着する DDGSDD モチーフの複合系，ハイドロキシアパタイトとESQES モチーフの複合系を対象に，フラグメント分子軌道法 (FMO 法) に基づく Pair Interaction Energy Decomposition Analysis (PIEDA) 解析を用いて，結晶-ペプチド間の相互作用エネルギーの成分解析を行った．さらに，PIEDA解析の結果や結晶-残基間の距離，残基の構造的特徴を特徴量として残基-結晶間の相互作用エネルギーの重回帰分析を行った．これらの結果を両複合系で比較したところ，カルサイト系では残基と近距離のフラグメントとの相互作用が，ハイドロキシアパタイト系では残基-結晶表面間の距離が，残基-結晶間相互作用において最も寄与が大きい特徴量であることが分かった．

<Abstract:> Carbon nanotube (CNT) is conventionally expected to reinforce ceramic matrix like alumina. Previous experiments show that processing conditions such as annealing have positive effect on mechanical properties of the alumina/CNT composite. However, the reinforcing mechanism by annealing is not fully understood yet. For further improving the performance of alumina/CNT composite, this study aims to understand the reinforcing mechanism by annealing from the atomic scale with reactive molecular dynamics simulations. We conduct tensile simulations on pure alumina, non-annealed and annealed alumina/CNT composites, and then analyze the mechanical properties of the three models. Consequently, we find out that annealing enhances the interfacial interactions between alumina and CNT and reduces the interfacial slippage, so that the annealed CNT is more stretched than the non-annealed CNT, finally resulting in an improvement of the mechanical performance of composite.

<Abstract:> Aiming at developing synthetic methods of new Keggin-type polyoxometalates (POMs) that can mediate proton-conjugated multi-electron transfer reactions useful for efficient regeneration of fuels, we have investigated the reaction routes from Anderson-type POMs to Keggin-type POMs. The POM systems with various kinds of heteroatoms as their central cations were calculated using the Nudged Elastic Band (NEB) method as well as the first-principles electronic structure method. The effects of the heteroatoms on the reaction routes have been discussed.

<Abstract:> We investigated the hydrogen bonding interaction between the anion and nitrogen atom of the urea derivative nPUA (n = 1, 2, 9, where n is the substituted position of the parent anthracene) to examine a proton transfer reaction in the complex in the excited state, which is known as excited-state intermolecular proton transfer (ESPT). We revealed the details of the hydrogen bonding interaction between an anthracene-urea derivative and an acetate anion in the excited state by taking advantage of TD-DFT calculation.

<Abstract:> In order to describe the time evolution of the electronic state, we have developed a new method, using the particle method with the Bohmian, to solve the time-dependent Schr dinger equation. The method has been applied to the time-dependent coherent state for a harmonic potential, whose analytical solutions are well-known. To evaluate this method, the ground state is evolved to estimate the excited state, and we follow the dynamic dipole moment as the linear responses of the system under externally applied perturbations in real time. From the polarizability obtained as the Fourier transform of the dipole moment, we calculate the optical strength function. As a result, a single peak is observed, which was exactly expected from the analytical solution. We recognize that the method is quite valid for the time dependent electronic structure calculation.

<Title:> QM- and ONIOM-Molecular Dynamics Studies of the S_N2 Reaction. How Does the Rare Event Take Place?

<Abstract:> A model S_N2 reaction of 2-chlorobutane with OH^– is examined from the dynamical point of view by means of the molecular dynamics (MD) methods. The reactions are simulated in both the gas phase and the water solvent by the QM- and the ONIOM-MD methods, respectively. The MD simulations show that a migration of the kinetic energy between the atoms generated by the fluctuation of the kinetic energy of the atoms triggers the reaction. When some requirements of the velocity vector with a certain direction of the specific atoms participating in the reaction are satisfied by the migration of the kinetic energy, the substrate is led to the transition state and then to the product in turn. The time required to pass the transition state becomes shorter in the water solvent compared to the case of the gas phase, which shows that the reaction proceeds more quickly in the water solvent. Another pattern of the requirement of the velocity vector with a certain direction of the specific atoms for the reaction, which makes the reaction rate faster, is also found at a higher temperature in the water solvent.

<Abstract:> Weathering of glass is a problem because it degrades the optical performance of the glass. The weathering occurs when the glass has been contacted with water in the long-term. In this work, a water/glass interface model was prepared and molecular dynamics simulation was performed to investigate the structure and properties near the water/glass interface. The broken surface of the glass network at near the interface was confirmed by the distribution change of the Qⁿ species, and it suggests that the sodium ions are trapped by the destabilized glass surface structure.

<Abstract:> Iron Sulfur clusters are often found in active sites of electron transfer proteins. Their redox potentials are well controlled; however, its mechanism has not been understood well. In this study, therefore, we elucidate the effects of the protein-field, especially hydrogen bonds around the active site on the redox potential by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results indicate that the ionization potentials are in proportion to the number of hydrogen bonds around the active site.
