Progress was also reported in modeling the reaction and transportation processes on fuel cell catalysts and through membranes, using multiple paradigms as well as starting from first principle quantum mechanics to train a reactive force field that can be applied for large scale molecular dynamics simulations. It is expected that the model would enable the conception, synthesis, fabrication, characterization, and development of advanced materials and structures for fuel cells . 

This book is an introduction to computational chemistr y, molecular mechanics, and molecular orbital calculations, using a personal mieroeomputer. No speeial eom-putational skills are assumed of the reader aside from the ability to read and write a simple program in BASIC. No mathematieal training beyond ealeulus is assumed. A few elements of matrix algebra are introdueed in Chapter 3 and used throughout. 

As the method reported is not based on QSAR and thus does not use training information, it cannot be used to predict quantitative inhibition levels (IC50, percentage inhibition or similar information). The method can only be used to find potential mechanism-based inhibitors (binary scale). Despite this limitation, an important advantage over other techniques is that the method suggests the site of the molecule responsible for the inhibition mechanism. With this information researchers may change the molecular structure to maintain activity at the expense of inhibitory effects. 

Results from molecular mechanics can also be of reasonable accuracy, so long as the molecules addressed contain only functionality well represented in the force field training set. While extensive compilations of data are not available, Halgren has compared MM3 and MMI T 94 over a test set of 157 frequencies from organic molecules and found RMS errors of 57 and 60 cm", respectively. 

Molecular descriptors may provide fundamental and scientific explanations of variations in the activity mechanism due to the structure of molecules. QSAR models can provide insight into kinetic mechanisms of organic compounds, and some of the design uncertainty associated with SCWO kinetics can be reduced. By using appropriate molecular descriptors, then, the results of QSAR models for SCWO could be used to determine the oxidation rate constants of organic compounds of structure similar to the training set chemicals of the QSAR model without experiments. 

Most chemists begin their training by learning about small molecules rather than polymers. The reasons for this are both traditional and practical. Small molecules are often easier to synthesize, purify, and characterize than are polymers. Moreover, in phosphazene chemistry it is easier to study small-molecule reactions, reaction mechanisms, and molecular structures than it is to obtain comparable information at the high-polymer level.
