This study introduces a novel approach using split charges to resolve fractional charge issues in analytic reactive potentials. The new method ensures neutral fragments in gas-phase systems, improving chemical reaction modeling.

Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Theoretical chemistry

Background:

  • Analytic reactive potentials use electronegativity equalization to model electron distribution during chemical reactions.
  • A known limitation is the prediction of fractional charges for neutral species with differing electronegativities, known as the dissociation problem.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the dissociation problem in analytic reactive potentials.
  • To implement a novel approach based on the concept of split charges.

Main Methods:

  • Building upon a previous model, a new energy contribution was introduced to constrain charge density.
  • This modification limits charge transfer between distant atoms.

Main Results:

  • The modified model successfully overcomes the dissociation problem.

  • Systems in the gas phase naturally decompose into neutral fragments.
  • The approach utilizes two empirical parameters alongside atomic electronegativities and hardnesses.

    • Conclusions:

    • The presented implementation of split charges offers a robust solution for the dissociation problem in analytic reactive potentials.
    • This advancement enables more accurate modeling of chemical reactions by ensuring neutral fragment formation.
