Many-body interaction in glycine-(water)_3 complex using density functional theory method

摘要

Various configurations were investigated to find the most stable structures of glycine-(water)_3 complex.Five different optimized conformers of glycine-(water)_3 complex are obtained from density functional theory calculations using 6-311++G basis set.Relaxation energy and many body interaction energies (two,three,and four body) are also calculated for these conformers.Out of the five conformers,the most stable conformer has the BSSE corrected total energy -513.917 967 7 Hartree and binding energy -27.28Kcal/mol.It has been found that the relaxation energies,two body energies and three body energies have significant contribution to the total binding energy whereas four body energies are very small.The chemical hardness and chemical potential aos confirmed the stability of the conformer having lowest total energy.
