Many computational methods have been applied to interpret and predict changes in reactivity by slight modifications of a given molecular scaffold. We describe a novel and simple method based on approximate density-functional theory of valence electrons that can be applied within a large high-performance computational infrastructure to probe such changes using a statistical sample of molecular configurations
许多计算方法已被用于解释和预测通过对给定分子支架进行轻微修改而引起的反应性变化。我们描述了一种基于价电子近似密度泛函理论的新颖而简单的方法,该方法可以应用于大型高性能计算基础设施中,以使用分子构型(包括溶剂)的统计样本来探测此类变化。所有使用的计算工具都是完全开源的。根据我们之前的应用,我们能够解释当酰胺键将
铵基插入α取代基时,
硝基化合物中α位CH键的高酸性。
