| Abstract | The conformation of a flexible molecule varies mainly via changes in the angle of dihedral torsions. Here we show that the entropy and free energy associated with such torsional rotations can be efficiently and accurately determined from separating the torsional density of states (DoS) into a solid-like (harmonic vibration) and a gas-like (free rotation) component, and applying suitable quantum statistics to the corresponding components of the DoS. We examined the calculation of internal rotation entropy of ethane and methanol molecules in liquid and vapor phases over a wide range of temperatures. Furthermore, the torsional entropy of larger, flexible molecules, such as butane and hexane, are studied at the standard condition. It is found that the proposed two-phase thermodynamic (2PT) model can provide converged internal rotation entropy from a short, about 20 ps, trajectory of molecular dynamic simulation. The 2PT determined entropy is found to fall between those based on the theoretical models by Pitzer and Gwinn and by Truhlar. Our results suggest that this method can be a powerful method for understanding thermodynamic driving forces for conformation changes of flexible molecular structures. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
