Parameterization H-N-H Conformer N-N-N Conformer Δenergy = 24.7kcal/mol N1 = -0.43298 N2 = -0.34026 N3 = -0.4101 Δenergy = 0.0 kcal/mol N1 = -0.26617 N2 = -0.19174 N3 = -0.28236 • Changes in charge distribution due to: • Polarization effects • “Many body problem” of partial charge assignment
Torsion Energy Parameter Undoped PPy Doped PPy Energy (kcal/mol) Torsion Angle (degrees)
How do we build a PPy film in silico? • Chemical reactions not possible in MM • Electricity not possible in MM • Must “adequately” sample conformational space • Must match known bulk properties • Density: ~1.4g/ml • Water contact angle: 83.7° ± 6.6°
Conclusions • Torsion parameter should be adjusted • Sampling methods can be improved • Charge parameters may need adjusting
