| description | The development of accurate force fields of energetic molecules (EM) to predict their crystal structures has been aggressively pursued in the EM research community. In this study, a non-empirical polarizable force field for energetic molecules is derived from the quantum-mechanical (QM) calculation results to well describe intermolecular interactions. We named this force field as the energetic molecule specific polarizable force field (EMS-PFF). It includes anisotropic atomic multipoles to describe the electrostatic interactions, atomic polarizability to consider the electron polarization, and standard MM2-type Buckingham dispersion-repulsion van der Waals interactions. Different from the traditional force fields by fitting some observed properties, EMS-PFF is parameterized only from the QM calculation results of energetic molecule at the MP2/6-311g(d,p) level. The QM-derived EMS-PFF is applied to optimize the 174 conversional CHNO energetic molecular crystals listed in the paper published in J. Phys. Chem. B 2004 108, 17730-17739. Our results demonstrate that EMS-PFF can better reproduce the experimental crystalline structures compared with the rigid optimization by the traditional isotropic charge-based Dreiding and COMPASS force fields. We believe that the non-empirical EMS-PFF can not only well predict the crystalline structures of the conversational CHNO energetic molecules, but also predict the crystal structures of other new high-nitrogen or full-nitrogen energetic materials. |
