چکیده
We present a new practical computational methodology for predicting thermal rate constants of reactions involving large molecules or a large number of elementary reactions in the same class. This methodology combines the integrated molecular orbital1molecular orbital ~IMOMO! approach with our recently proposed reaction class models for tunneling. With the new methodology, we show that it is possible to significantly reduce the computational cost by several orders of magnitude while compromising the accuracy in the predicted rate constants by less than 40% over a wide range of temperatures. Another important result is that the computational cost increases only slightly as the system size increases. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~00!00201-4#

A reaction class approach with the integrated molecular orbital q molecular orbital methodology
Ž . We investigate the use of the reaction-class approach within the integrated molecular q molecular orbital IMOMO methodology for improving energetic information of chemical reactions. We have tested this approach using two classes of hydrogen abstraction reactions. One is abstraction from saturated hydrocarbons and the other from unsaturated hydrocarbons. For saturated hydrocarbon systems, t...

The catalytic asymmetric thiazolium- and triazolium-catalyzed benzoin condensations of aldehydes and ketones were studied with computational methods. Transition-state geometries were optimized by using Morokuma's IMOMO [integrated MO (molecular orbital) + MO method] variation of ONIOM (n-layered integrated molecular orbital method) with a combination of B3LYP/6-31G(d) and AM1 levels of theory, ...
متن کاملData mining for decision making in engineering optimal design
Often in modeling the engineering optimization design problems, the value of objective function(s) is not clearly defined in terms of design variables. Instead it is obtained by some numerical analysis such as FE structural analysis, fluid mechanic analysis, and thermodynamic analysis, etc. Yet, the numerical analyses are considerably time consuming to obtain the final value of objective functi...
