Gold -- gold interactions were described by the quantum Sutton-Chen |
| 31 |
(QSC) model.\cite{Qi:1999ph} The hexane solvent is described by the |
| 32 |
TraPPE united atom model,\cite{TraPPE-UA.alkanes} where sites are |
| 33 |
located at the carbon centers for alkyl groups. Bonding interactions |
| 34 |
were used for intra-molecular sites closer than 3 bonds. Effective |
| 35 |
Lennard-Jones potentials were used for non-bonded interactions. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The TraPPE-UA force field includes parameters for thiol |
| 38 |
molecules\cite{TraPPE-UA.thiols} which were used for the |
| 39 |
alkanethiolate molecules in our simulations. To derive suitable |
| 40 |
parameters for butanethiolate adsorbed on Au(111) surfaces, we adopted |
| 41 |
the S parameters from Luedtke and Landman\cite{landman:1998} and |
| 42 |
modified the parameters for the CTS atom to maintain charge neutrality |
| 43 |
in the molecule. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
To describe the interactions between metal (Au) and non-metal atoms, |
| 46 |
potential energy terms were adapted from an adsorption study of alkyl |
| 47 |
thiols on gold surfaces by Vlugt, \textit{et |
| 48 |
al.}\cite{vlugt:cpc2007154} They fit an effective pair-wise |
| 49 |
Lennard-Jones form of potential parameters for the interaction between |
| 50 |
Au and pseudo-atoms CH$_x$ and S based on a well-established and |
| 51 |
widely-used effective potential of Hautman and Klein for the Au(111) |
| 52 |
surface.\cite{hautman:4994} |

Parameters not found in the TraPPE-UA force field for the |
| 74 |
intramolecular interactions of the conjugated and the penultimate |
| 75 |
alkenethiolate ligands were calculated using constrained geometry |
| 76 |
scans using the B3LYP functional~\cite{Becke:1993kq,Lee:1988qf} and |
| 77 |
the 6-31G(d,p) basis set. Structures were scanned starting at the |
| 78 |
minimum energy gas phase structure for small ($C_4$) ligands. Only |
| 79 |
one degree of freedom was constrained for any given scan -- all other |
| 80 |
atoms were allowed to minimize subject to that constraint. The |
| 81 |
resulting potential energy surfaces were fit to a harmonic potential |
| 82 |
for the bond stretching, |
| 83 |
\begin{equation} |
| 84 |
V_\mathrm{bond} = \frac{k_\mathrm{bond}}{2} \left( r - r_0 \right)^2, |
| 85 |
\end{equation} |
| 86 |
and angle bending potentials, |
| 87 |
\begin{equation} |
| 88 |
V_\mathrm{bend} = \frac{k_\mathrm{bend}}{2} \left(\theta - \theta_0\right)^2. |
| 89 |
\end{equation} |
| 90 |
Torsional potentials were fit to the TraPPE torsional function, |
| 91 |
\begin{equation} |
| 92 |
V_\mathrm{tor} = c_0 + c_1 \left(1 + \cos\phi \right) + c_2 \left(1 - \cos 2\phi \right) + c_3 \left(1 + \cos 3 \phi \right). |
| 93 |
\end{equation} |
| 94 |
|
| 95 |
Say something here about which molecules were used for which scans.... |
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
The fit values for the bond, bend, and torsional parameters were in |
| 98 |
relatively good agreement with similar parameters already present in |
| 99 |
TraPPE. |
| 100 |
|
| 101 |
|
| 102 |
to find an equilibrium bend angles $\theta_0$ and spring constants, |
| 103 |
$k$. Torsional parameters were fit to the same part of the |
| 104 |
penultimate ligand (\(S - CH_{2}- CH-CH)\) |
| 105 |
for the rotation around the \( CH_{2}- CH\) |
| 106 |
bond. This potential energy surface was then fit to |
| 107 |
