A recently developed field of research is matrix isolation laser Raman spectroscopy 214a)-d) which allows the study of vibrational Raman spectra with high resolution. Even small isotopic frequency shifts or the influence of crystal structure on the vibrational frequencies may be determined with high precision. This provides an effective constraint on intermolecular forcefields.

The electromagnetic field of the composite photon contains advanced and retarded components, without any causality breach. The forcefield of doublet is described by the symmetric Maxwell s equations [87b]. Three different regions appear in the forcefield inner, near-field, and far-field. Longitudinal components of force are always present. However, in the far field, they dissapear for practical purposes. In this sense, the equations developed contain the standard set as a limiting case. 

Do you think it is possible (in practical terms In principle ) to develop a forcefield that would accurately calculate the geometry of any kind of molecule ... 

Why might the development of an accurate and versatile forcefield for inorganic molecules be more of a challenge than for organic molecules ... 

Molecular mechanics is essentially empirical, while methods like PPP, CNDO, and AM1/PM3 are semiempirical. What are the analogies in PPP etc. to MM procedures of developing and parameterizing a forcefield Why are PPP etc. only. sY mz empirical ... 

The analogies in semiempirical (SE) methods to MM procedures for developing a forcefield arise from the need to fit experimental values to parameters in equations. In SE parameterization heats of formation, geometric parameters, etc. are used to adjust the values of integrals in the Hamiltonian of quantum-mechanical equations. In MM vibrational frequencies, geometric parameters, etc. are used to... 

MM methods provide a simpler representation of molecules, in which the fine detail of the electrons represented implicitly via partial charges and, is some cases, molecular polarisabilities. MM models represent molecules as a collection of atoms interacting through classical potentials. There are several MM models (or forcefields), and they dilfer in the functional forms of the interaction potential used between atoms, and in the means by which these interaction potentials are parameterized. Several good recent reviews of MM forcefields have been produced. Several MM forcefields have been developed for application to biomolecular systems. The most popular of these are the CHARMM, AMBER, ... 

These classical interaction potentials must be parameterized, e.g. the magnitude of the partial charges on each atom in the molecule must be assigned, and the equilibrium bond length and size of the harmonic force constant must be attached to each bond. In the early biomolecular MM forcefields, these parameters were developed to produce molecular models that could reproduce known experimental properties of the bulk system. For example, several MM water models have been developed. ° One of the earliest successful models, TIP3P, was parameterized such that simulations of boxes of TIP3P molecules reproduced known thermodynamic properties of water, such as liquid density and heats of vaporisation. Such a parameterisation scheme is to be applauded, as it ties the molecular model closely to experiment. Indeed many of the common MM models of amino acids were developed by comparison to experiment, e.g. OPLS. Indeed it is such a good... 

Garcia-Viloca and Gao have developed a QM/MM method combining the semiempirical PM3 method with the CHARMM MM forcefield using the GHO approach.112 As they state, a key aspect of the GHO method is that the semiempirical parameters for the boundary atom are transferable. These workers have developed parameters (consistent with the PM3 method) for a carbon boundary atom. They found the combined GHO-PM3/CHARMM model to perform well for on molecular structures and proton affinities for a number of organic molecules. 

For the study of adsorption to general oxide surfaces, the ideal ionic force-field would be consistent with a molecular mechanics model for dissociable water. Such a forcefield has indeed been developed and has been applied to the study of silicate (Rustad Hay, 1995) and iron(III) (Rustad et al., 1995) hydrolysis in solution, to bulk iron oxyhydroxide structures (Rustad et al., 1996a) and to the protonation of goethite surfaces (Rustad et al., 1996b).
