D. Polarized One-electron Potential Fitting

Atom Dipole Interaction Model In induced dipole force field, the polarization energy (Eplz) is expressed as follows
eplz
Here, μi is the induced dipole moment at atom i and Fi0 is the applied electrostatic field at atom i. The induced dipole moments are calculated as follows
muki
Here, αi is thr polarizabilitiy of atom i and μj is the induced dipole moment of the atom other than i. Tij is the dipole field tensor. Several damping types have been introduced for repairing the deficiency of infinit polarization.

where I is the unit matrix, rij is the distance between atoms i and j. λ3 and λ5 are the dumping functions. Damping types of Simple scaling (S), Exponential (E), Linear (L), and Gaussian (G) have been used.5
POP Optimization Polarized one-electron potential (POP) optimization is a method of determining atomic polarizabilities. 2-5 In this method, the amount of change in ESPs mapped on the molecular surface induced by an external test charge are first estimated using the QM method. There, a series of potential maps are needed that vary with the test charge placed on the molecular surface. The molecular surface defined by an envelope of 1.8 times the van der Waals radius of the atoms and a test charges of +0.1 e are used. Next, the atomic polarizabilities (αi) are optimized to reproduce the surface potentials derived from the QM calculations. The POP optimization is similar to ESP optimization for determining the atomic charges of molecules. While ESP optimization targets the ESPs on a molecular surface, the POP optimization targests the change of ESPs on molecular surface.

Figure D1. Schematic diagram of POP optimization. QM stands for quantum mechanics and CM for classical mechanics. ρ0 is the electron density of molecule not affected by the test charge qk, and ρk is the electron density of molecule under the influence of the test charge qk. The qk is placed on the molecular surface. ΔV is the amount of change in electrostatic potential at the molecular surface for ρ0 and ρk. In CM, the electron density change by the test charge qk is represented by induced dipole moments (μki). The arrows indicate the direction of electron movement. αi is the atomic polarizabilitiy. The polarizabilities are optimized in order to reproduce the surface electrostatic potensial differences.

In POP optimization Fi0 is very simple as follows

4. Reproducibility of molecular polarizability

The POP optimization results (pop_s03111_01_C.out and pop_G0926_01_C.out) of cytosine are summarized in Table below. The polarization parameters obtained from QM calculations using diffuse functions are known to lead to over-polarization of the condensed system. The atomic polarizabilities were mainly optimized with reference to the POPs calculated using wB97XD/cc-pVTZ, which lacks diffuse functions. The exact molecular polarizability can be obtained by G09 calculation with "polar" keyword. The isotropic molecular polarizability of wB97XD/cc-pVTZ is reproduced well the experimental value. The molecular polarizabilities of Simple scaling (S3) and Gaussian (G) types reproduced well the QM results.
