Hydrogen bonding and induced dipole moments in water: predictions from the Gaussian charge polarizable model and Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics.
We compare a new classical water model, which features Gaussian charges and polarizability (GCPM) with ab initio Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics (CPMD) simulations. We compare the total dipole moment, the total dipole moment distribution, and degree of hydrogen bonding at ambient to supercritical conditions. We also compared the total dipole moment calculated from both the electron density (partitioning the electron density among molecules based on a zero electron flux condition), and from the center of localized Wannier function centers (WFCs). Compared to CPMD, we found that GCPM overpredicts the dipole moment derived by partitioning the electron density and underpredicts that obtained from the WFCs, but exhibits similar trends and distribution of values. We also found that GCPM predicted similar degrees of hydrogen bonding compared to CPMD and has a similar structure.
