Abstract
To accelerate the development of liquid ion-selective barriers based on ethers, we compare the all-atom force fields GAFF, OPLS-AA with charge correction 1.14*CM1A (OPLS-AA/CM1A), CHARMM version 36 (CHARMM36), and COMPASS for diisopropyl ether (DIPE) to determine the most appropriate model for further simulations of liquid membranes. Utilizing the selected force fields, we calculate the density and shear viscosity of DIPE across a temperature range of 243–333 K. Furthermore, we use CHARMM36 with mTIP3P water model and COMPASS with its own water model to evaluate the mutual solubility and interfacial tension between DIPE and water, estimate the partition coefficients of ethanol in DIPE + Ethanol + Water systems. Based on our comparative study, we conclude that CHARMM36 is the most suitable force field for modeling ether-based liquid membranes.
期刊介绍:
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
– Simple organic liquids and mixtures
– Ionic liquids
– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
– Ferrofluids
– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
– Molten metals and salts
– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
– Dielectric relaxation
– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
