| Abstract | We report a method to calculate very accurate free-energy values in complex systems using hybrid QM/MM approaches. The method combines the recently developed horsetail sampling technique in molecular dynamics and the dual-level technique derived from free-energy perturbation theory. The former is a particular type of multiple molecular dynamics that has been specifically designed for an efficient parallelization of QM/MM simulations. The latter allows estimating free-energy corrections at a high QM/MM level from a reference sampling obtained at a lower QM/MM level. The methodology is illustrated through the study of hydrogen peroxide at the vapor–liquid water interface, a system of considerable atmospheric and environmental relevance. We focus on the calculation of the free-energy profile for the torsional motion of the solute at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. It is shown that the equilibrium angle is 87.7°, and that the free-energy barriers for cisoid and transoid transition states are 4.3 and 1.4 kcal/mol, respectively. These values are significantly different from the gas phase potential energy surface at the equivalent computational level (112.8°, 7.3 and 1.1 kcal/mol, respectively) suggesting that adsorption of hydrogen peroxide on water droplets could have major implications on its atmospheric chemistry. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
