The Atomic Structure and Mechanical Properties of ZIF-4 under High Pressure: Ab Initio Calculations.

ABSTRACT: The effects of pressure on the structural and electronic properties and the ionic configuration of ZIF-4 were investigated through the first-principles method based on the density functional theory. The elastic properties, including the isotropic bulk modulus K, shear modulus G, Young's modulus E, and Poisson's ratio ν of the orthorhombic-type structure ZIF-4 were determined using the Voigt-Reuss-Hill averaging scheme. The results show that the ZIF-4 phase is ductile according to the analysis of K/G and Cauchy pressure. The Debye temperatures obtained from the elastic stiffness constants increase with increasing pressure. Finally, the pressure-dependent behaviors of the density of states and ionic configuration are successfully calculated and discussed.

Project description:A set of atomic polarizability parameters for a new polarizable Gaussian model (pGM) has been developed with the goal to accurately reproduce the polarizability anisotropy, taking advantage of its ability to attenuate all short-range electrostatic interactions, by fitting the ab initio molecular polarizability tensors ( A pq) calculated at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ level. For comparison, we also rederived the parameters for three Thole models in which the 1-2 (bonded), 1-3 (separated by two bonds), and 1-4 (separated by three bonds) interactions are fully included. The average percent errors (APEs) of molecular polarizability tensors for 4842 molecules or dimers are 2.98, 3.76, 3.28, and 3.82% for the pGM, Thole linear, Thole exponential, and Thole Amoeba models, respectively, with atom-type independent, universal screening factors (USF). The APEs are reduced further to 2.30, 2.69, 2.25, and 2.48% for the four corresponding polarizable models with atom-type dependent, variable screening factors (VSF). It is encouraging that the pGM with variable screening factors achieved APEs of 1.83 for 1155 amino acid analogs, dipeptides, and tetrapeptides, 1.39 for 28 nucleic acid bases, 0.708 for 1464 water clusters, and 1.99 for 85 dimers of water and biological building blocks. Compared to the new set of models, the APEs of the old Thole models that were fitted to isotropic molecular polarizabilities are 8.7% for set A (without the 1-2 and 1-3 interactions) and 6.3% for set D (with the 1-2 and 1-3 interactions) models, respectively. MPAD, a metric of molecular polarization anisotropy difference based on the diagonal terms of molecular polarizability tensors was defined and applied to assess the polarizable models in reproducing the ab initio molecular polarization anisotropy. The MPADs are 3.71, 4.70, 4.11, and 4.77% for the pGM, Thole linear, Thole exponential, and Thole Amoeba USF models, respectively. The APEs are reduced further to 2.85, 3.58, 2.90, and 3.15% for the four corresponding VSF models. Thus, the new pGM and Thole models notably improve molecular polarization anisotropy. Since pGM attenuates all short-range electrostatic interactions, its application is expected to improve stability in charge fitting, energy, and force calculations and the accuracy of multibody polarization.
