Abstract
Context
We rationalize the excellent performance of information-theoretic descriptors for predicting atomic and molecular polarizabilities. It seems that descriptors which capture information about the change in valence-shell structure, especially the relative Fisher information measures, are particularly useful. Using this, we can rationalize why the G3 form of the relative Fisher information, which measures the deviation of effective nuclear charge between an atom-in-a-molecule and the reference pro-atom, is especially effective as a predictor of molecular polarizability.
Methods
There are no methods used in this paper, which relies on mathematical derivation and analysis.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Molecular Modeling focuses on "hardcore" modeling, publishing high-quality research and reports. Founded in 1995 as a purely electronic journal, it has adapted its format to include a full-color print edition, and adjusted its aims and scope fit the fast-changing field of molecular modeling, with a particular focus on three-dimensional modeling.
Today, the journal covers all aspects of molecular modeling including life science modeling; materials modeling; new methods; and computational chemistry.
Topics include computer-aided molecular design; rational drug design, de novo ligand design, receptor modeling and docking; cheminformatics, data analysis, visualization and mining; computational medicinal chemistry; homology modeling; simulation of peptides, DNA and other biopolymers; quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) and ADME-modeling; modeling of biological reaction mechanisms; and combined experimental and computational studies in which calculations play a major role.
