The wetting parameter, αw, is defined in terms of molecular parameters for the adsorbed film and substrate and so is applicable at the nanoscale and for films of any phase. The main assumptions in the treatment are that (a) the substrate structure is not significantly affected by the adsorbed layer and (b) the diameter of the adsorbate molecules is not very small compared to the spacing of atoms in the solid substrate. We show that different surface geometries of the substrate (e.g., slit, cylindrical, and spherical pores) and various models of wall heterogeneity can be accounted for through a well-defined correction to the wetting parameter; no new dimensionless variables are introduced. Experimental measurements are reported for contact angles for various liquids on several planar substrates and are shown to be closely correlated with the nanoscale wetting parameter. We apply this approach to phase separation in nanopores of various geometries. Molecular simulation results for the phase diagram in confinement, obtained by the flat histogram Monte Carlo method, are reported and are shown to be closely similar to experimental results for capillary condensation, melting, and the triple point. The value of the wetting parameter, αw, is shown to determine the qualitative behavior (e.g., increase vs decrease in the melting temperature, capillary condensation vs evaporation), whereas the pore width determines the magnitude of the confinement effect. The triple point temperature and pressure for the confined phase are always lower than those for the bulk phase for all cases studied.}, number={51}, journal={LANGMUIR}, author={An, Rong and Addington, Cody K. and Long, Yun and Rotnicki, Konrad and Sliwinska-Bartkowiak, Malgorzata and Thommes, Matthias and Gubbins, Keith E.}, year={2023}, month={Dec}, pages={18730–18745} } @article{shi_santiso_gubbins_2021, title={Can we define a unique microscopic pressure in inhomogeneous fluids?}, volume={154}, ISSN={["1089-7690"]}, DOI={10.1063/5.0044487}, abstractNote={The estimation of a microscopic pressure tensor in an adsorbed thin film on a planar surface remains a challenge in both experiment and theory.

We report a new method that allows us to calculate the local pressure tensor and its spatial integral using an arbitrary contour definition of the “virial-route” local pressure tensor. We show that by integrating the local tangential pressure over a small region of space, roughly the range of the intermolecular forces, it is possible to define a coarse-grained tangential pressure that appears to be unique and free from ambiguities in the definition of the local pressure tensor. We support our argument by presenting the results for more than ten types of contour definitions of the local pressure tensor. By defining the coarse-grained tangential pressure, we can also find the effective thickness of the adsorbed layer and, in the case of a porous material, the statistical pore width. The coarse-grained in-layer and in-pore tangential pressures are determined for Lennard-Jones argon adsorbed in realistic carbon slit pores, providing a better understanding of the pressure enhancement for strongly wetting systems.}, number={8}, journal={JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS}, author={Shi, Kaihang and Santiso, Erik E. and Gubbins, Keith E.}, year={2021}, month={Feb} } @article{schoen_evans_gubbins_rabe_thommes_jackson_2021, title={Gerhard Findenegg (1938-2019)}, volume={7}, ISSN={["1362-3028"]}, DOI={10.1080/00268976.2021.1953272}, abstractNote={On 12 December 2019, our colleague and friend Professor Dr. Gerhard H.

The theory is based on a perturbation expansion for the grand potential of a real system with a rough surface about that of a reference system with an ideal reference surface, thus mapping the real system onto a much simpler interfacial system. The expansion is in powers of the intermolecular potential parameters, and leads to mixing rules for the potential parameters of the reference system. Grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations for the adsorption of argon at 87.3 K, carbon dioxide at 273 K and water vapor at 298 K on heterogeneous carbon surfaces are investigated to explore the limits of applicability of the theory.

This phenomenon is closely associated with heterogeneous catalysis, shale gas extraction, phase separation, etc. Whereas several experimental and theoretical studies have been conducted which provide meaningful insights into the over-solubility and under-solubility of different gases in confined solvents, the microscopic mechanism for regulating the gas solubility remains unclear. Here, we report a hybrid theoretical study for unraveling the regulation mechanism by combining classical density functional theory (CDFT) with machine learning (ML). Specifically, CDFT is employed to predict the solubility of argon in various solvents confined in nanopores of different types and pore widths, and these case studies then supply a valid training set to ML for further investigation. Finally, the dominant parameters that affect the gas solubility are identified, and a criterion is obtained to determine whether a confined gas-solvent system is enhance-beneficial or reduce-beneficial.

The lack of an exact formulation to account for the long-range Coulombic contribution to the local pressure tensor in cylindrical geometries prevents the characterization of molecular fluids confined in cylindrical pores. To address this problem, we first derive the local cylindrical pressure tensor for Lennard-Jones fluids based on the Harasima (H) definition, which is expected to be compatible with the Ewald summation method. The test of the H-definition pressure equations in a homogeneous system shows that the radial and azimuthal pressure have unphysical radial dependence near the origin, while the axial pressure gives physically meaningful values. We propose an alternative contour definition that is more appropriate for cylindrical geometry, and show that it leads to physically realistic results for all three pressure tensor components. With this definition, the radial and azimuthal pressures are of Irving-Kirkwood (IK) type, and the axial pressure is of Harasima type. Due to the practical interest in the axial pressure, we develop a Harasima/Ewald (H/E) method for calculating the long-range Coulombic contribution to the local axial pressure for rigid molecules. As an application, the axial pressure profile of water inside and outside a (20,20) single-wall carbon nanotube is determined. The H/E method is compared to the IK method, which assumes a spherically truncated Coulombic potential. Detailed analysis of the axial pressure profile by both methods shows that the water confined in the nanotube is in a stretched state overall in the axial direction.}, number={9}, journal={JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL THEORY AND COMPUTATION}, author={Shi, Kaihang and Shen, Yifan and Santiso, Erik E. and Gubbins, Keith E.}, year={2020}, month={Sep}, pages={5548–5561} } @article{long_palmer_coasne_shi_sliwinska-bartkowiak_gubbins_2020, title={Reply to the 'Comment on "Pressure enhancement in carbon nanopores: a major confinement effect"' by D. van Dijk, Phys.

In this work, we present a bottom-up strategy, developing a new two-dimensional (2D) coarse-grained surface model from the "bottom-level" atomistic model, for adsorption on highly heterogeneous surfaces with various types of defects. The corresponding effective solid-fluid potential consists of a 2D hard wall potential representing the structure of the surface and a one-dimensional (1D) effective area-weighted free-energy-averaged (AW-FEA) potential representing the energetic strength of the substrate-adsorbate interaction. Within the conventional free-energy-averaged (FEA) framework, an accessible-area-related parameter is introduced into the equation of the 1D effective solid-fluid potential, which allows us not only to obtain the energy information from the fully atomistic system but also to get the structural dependence of the potential on any geometric defect on the surface. Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations are carried out for argon adsorption at 87.3 K to test the validity of the new 2D surface model against the fully atomistic system. We test four graphitic substrates with different levels of geometric roughness for the top layer, including the widely used reference solid substrate Cabot BP-280. The simulation results show that adding one more dimension to the traditional 1D surface model is essential for adsorption on the geometrically heterogeneous surfaces. In particular, the 2D surface model with the AW-FEA solid-fluid potential significantly improves the adsorption isotherm and density profile over the 1D surface model with the FEA solid-fluid potential over a wide range of pressure.

High pressures—up to millions of bars using diamond anvil cells—can be achieved in the laboratory, and lead to many new routes for chemical synthesis and the synthesis of new materials with desirable thermodynamic, transport, and electronic properties. On the industrial scale, however, high-pressure processing is currently limited by the cost of compression and by materials limitations, so that few industrial processes are carried out at pressures above 25 MPa. An alternative approach to high-pressure processing is proposed here, in which very high local pressures are generated using the surface-driven interactions from a solid substrate. Recent experiments and molecular simulations show that such interactions can lead to local pressures as high as tens of thousands of bars (1 bar = 1 × 105 Pa), and even millions of bars in some cases. Since the active high-pressure processing zone is inhomogeneous, the pressure is different in different directions. In many cases, it is the pressure in the direction parallel to the surface of the substrate (the tangential pressure) that is most greatly enhanced. This pressure is exerted on the molecules to be processed, but not on the solid substrate or the containing vessel. Current knowledge of such pressure enhancement is reviewed, and the possibility of an alternative route to high-pressure processing based on surface-driven forces is discussed. Such surface-driven high-pressure processing would have the advantage of achieving much higher pressures than are possible with traditional bulk-phase processing, since it eliminates the need for mechanical compression. Moreover, no increased pressure is exerted on the containing vessel for the process, thus eliminating concerns about materials failure.}, number={3}, journal={ENGINEERING}, author={Gubbins, Keith E. and Gu, Kai and Huang, Liangliang and Long, Yun and Mansell, J.

The parameter αwx introduced here provides a more fundamental measure of wetting than previous metrics, since it is defined in terms of intermolecular forces and the atomic structure of the substrate, and so is valid at the nanoscale for gas, liquid or solid films. To test this theoretical analysis, we also report atomic force microscopy measurements of the friction coefficient (μ), adhesion force (FA) and glass transition temperature (Tg) for thin films of two polymers, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS), on two planar substrates, graphite and silica. Both the friction coefficient and the glass transition temperature are found to increase as the film thickness decreases, and this increase is more pronounced for the graphite than for the silica surface. The adhesion force is also greater for the graphite surface.

The interactions between the carbon atoms with the silica matrix were described using the PN-Traz potential, and the interaction between the carbon atoms was calculated by the reactive empirical bond order (REBO) potential. Carbon rods and pipes with different thicknesses were obtained by changing the silica-carbon interaction strength, the temperature, and the chemical potential of carbon vapor adsorption. These equilibrium structures were further used to obtain the atomic models of CMK-1, CMK-3, and CMK-5 materials using the same symmetry as found in TEM pictures. These models are further refined and made more realistic by adding interconnections between the carbon rods and carbon pipes. We calculated the geometric pore size distribution of the different models of CMK-5 and found that the presence of interconnections results in some new features in the pore size distribution. Argon adsorption properties were investigated using GCMC simulations to characterize these materials at 77 K. We found that the presence of interconnection results greatly improves the agreement with available experimental data by shifting the capillary condensation to lower pressures. Adding interconnections also induces smoother adsorption/condensation isotherms, and desorption/evaporation curves show a sharp jump.

In this work, we examine the effect on the tangential pressure of varying the molecular shape, strength of the fluid-wall interactions, and pore width, for carbon slit-shaped pores. We find that, for multisite molecules, the presence of additional rotational degrees of freedom leads to unique changes in the shape of the tangential pressure profile, especially in larger pores. We show that, due to the direct relationship between the molecular density and the fluid-wall interactions, the latter have a large impact on the pressure tensor.

Moreover, the yield of dimer is unchanged upon varying the temperature over the range studied in the experiments. Earlier molecular simulation studies showed a significant increase in dimer formation in carbon nanopores, but the dimer yield was considerably less than that found in the experiments, and decreased rapidly as the temperature was raised. Here, we report an ab initio and molecular simulation study of this reaction in both slit-shaped pores and single-walled carbon nanotubes. The ab initio calculations show that the nitric oxide dimer forms a weak chemical bond with the carbon, and the bonding energy is more than 20 times stronger than the van der Waals energy assumed in the previous studies. When this is accounted for, the predicted dimer yield is in good agreement with the experimental values, as is its temperature dependence.

In the cases studied here, competing adsorption of the solvent and solute determines whether the solubility is enhanced or suppressed for larger pores. We find that the solubility in the confined system is strongly dependent on pore width, and that molecular packing effects are important for small pore widths. In addition, the solubility decreases on increase in the temperature, as for the bulk mixture, but the rate of decrease is greater in the pore due to a decrease in the partial molar enthalpy of the solute in the pore; this effect becomes greater as pore width is decreased. The solubility is increased on increasing the bulk pressure of the gas in equilibrium with the pore, and obeys Henry's law at lower pressures. However, the Henry constant differs significantly from that for the bulk mixture, and the range of pressure over which Henry's law applies is reduced relative to that for the bulk mixture. The latter observation indicates that solute–solute interactions become more important in the pore than for the bulk at a given bulk pressure. Finally, we note that different authors use different definitions of the solubility in pores, leading to some confusion over the reported phenomenon of ‘oversolubility’. We recommend that solubility be defined as the overall mole fraction of solute in the pores, since it takes into account the increase in density of the solvent in the pores, and avoids ambiguity in the definition of the pore volume.}, number={22}, journal={Molecular Physics}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Hu, Yaofeng and Huang, Liangliang and Zhao, Shuangliang and Liu, Honglai and Gubbins, Keith E.}, year={2016}, month={Sep}, pages={3294–3306} } @article{an_huang_long_kalanyan_lu_gubbins_2016, title={Liquid–Solid Nanofriction and Interfacial Wetting}, volume={32}, ISSN={0743-7463 1520-5827}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.langmuir.5b04115}, DOI={10.1021/acs.langmuir.5b04115}, abstractNote={Using atomic force microscopy, the nanofriction coefficient was measured systematically for a series of liquids on planar graphite, silica and mica surfaces. This allows us to explore the quantitative interplay between nanofriction at liquid-solid interfaces and interfacial wetting. A corresponding states theory analysis shows that the nanofriction coefficient, μ = dF(F)/dF(N), where FF is the friction force and FN is the normal force, is a function of three dimensionless parameters that reflect the intermolecular forces involved and the structure of the solid substrate. Of these, we show that one parameter in particular, β = ρ(s)Δ(s)σ(ls)(2), where ρ(s) is the atomic density of the solid, Δ(s) is the spacing between layers of solid atoms, and σ(ls) is the molecular diameter that characterizes the liquid-substrate interaction, is very important in determining the friction coefficient. This parameter β, which we term the structure adhesion parameter, provides a measure of the intermolecular interaction between a liquid molecule and the substrate and also of the surface area of contact of the liquid molecule with the substrate. We find a linear dependence of μ on the structure adhesion parameter for the systems studied. We also find that increasing β leads to an increase in the vertical adhesion forces FA (the attractive force exerted by the solid surface on the liquid film). Our quantitative relationship between the nanofriction coefficient and the key parameter β which governs the vertical adhesive strength, opens up an opportunity for describing liquid flows on solid surfaces at the molecular level, with implications for the development of membrane and nanofluidic devices.}, number={3}, journal={Langmuir}, publisher={American Chemical Society (ACS)}, author={An, Rong and Huang, Liangliang and Long, Yun and Kalanyan, Berc and Lu, Xiaohua and Gubbins, Keith E}, year={2016}, month={Jan}, pages={743–750} } @article{cattes_gubbins_schoen_2016, title={Mean-field density functional theory of a nanoconfined classical, three-dimensional Heisenberg fluid.

We consider three types of walls: hard ones, where the fluid-wall potential becomes infinite upon molecular contact but vanishes otherwise, and hard walls with superimposed short-range attraction with and without explicit orientation dependence. To model the distance dependence of the attractions, we employ a Yukawa potential. The orientation dependence is realized through anchoring of molecules at the substrates, i.e., an energetic discrimination of specific molecular orientations. If the walls are hard or attractive without specific anchoring, the results are “quasi-bulk”-like in that they can be linked to a confinement-induced reduction of the bulk mean field. In these cases, the precise nature of the walls is completely irrelevant at coexistence. Only for specific anchoring nontrivial features arise, because then the fluid-wall interaction potential affects the orientation distribution function in a nontrivial way and thus appears explicitly in the Euler-Lagrange equations to be solved for minima of the grand potential of coexisting phases.}, number={19}, journal={JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS}, author={Cattes, Stefanie M. and Gubbins, Keith E. and Schoen, Martin}, year={2016}, month={May} } @article{gubbins_2016, title={Perturbation theories of the thermodynamics of polar and associating liquids: A historical perspective}, volume={416}, ISSN={["1879-0224"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.fluid.2015.12.043}, abstractNote={A historical account is given of the development of perturbation theories for polar and associating liquids.

The development of such approaches was further catalyzed by the first molecular simulation results for such polar liquids in the early 1970's. Although the Barker expansion did not converge well for strong electrostatic forces, a resummation using a Padé approximant due to G. Stell and coworkers gave excellent results for the free energy and other thermodynamic properties. A further major advance was the theory proposed by M.S. Wertheim in the mid-1980's, which accounted for the effects of highly directional forces that result in molecular association (H-bonding, charge transfer, etc.).

From a corresponding states analysis of the partition function for pores of simple geometry (e.g., slit- or cylinder-shaped) we show that the principal system variables for most cases are the pore shape and width (expressed in terms of molecular diameters), H∗, and a microscopic wetting parameter, αw, that is a measure of the relative strength of the adsorbate-wall and adsorbate–adsorbate interactions. We illustrate the utility of this model by considering experimental, theoretical and molecular simulation results for adsorption, (vapor + liquid) condensation for pure fluids and mixtures, freezing, and pressures for these confined nano-phases. The wetting parameter is shown to be of central importance, determining both the magnitude of the effects of confinement and also the qualitative behavior, for example, whether the freezing temperature is raised or lowered upon confinement. These confinement effects become larger as the pore width is reduced; reducing the pore width can also result in qualitative changes, such as phase changes. For pores of slit- or cylinder-shape there are two independent pressures within the pores, one acting normal to the pore walls and one (the tangential pressure) acting parallel to the walls.

However, if the temperature increases to 550 K, the dehydrated CuBTC will collapse even at a small water concentration, 1.0 H2O molecule per copper site. When NH3 molecules are adsorbed in the channel and micropores of CuBTC, they prefer to chemisorb to the copper sites rather than forming a dimer with another NH3 molecule. The formation of equimolar Cu2(NH2)4 and (NH4)3BTC structures is observed at 348 K, which is in good agreement with previous experimental findings. The dehydrated CuBTC framework is partially collapsed upon NH3 adsorption, while the Cu–Cu dimer structure remains stable under the investigated conditions. Further calculations reveal that the stability of CuBTC is related to the ammonia concentration. The critical NH3 concentration after which the dehydrated CuBTC starts to collapse is determined to be 1.0 NH3 molecule per copper site. Depending on whether NH3 concentration is below or above the critical value, the dehydrated CuBTC can be stable to a higher temperature, 378 K, or can collapse at a lower temperature, 250 K.

The impact of pore geometry on solvation structure of ions was also investigated using a disordered carbon model that morphologically resembles real nanoporous carbon electrodes. Monte Carlo simulations were used to determine the propensity of ions to reside in pores of specific sizes in the model carbon, allowing the solvation structure of Rb+ and Br− ions to be analysed as a function of pore size. We find that a dramatic drop in the solvation number occurs in pore sizes below 10 Å for slit-shaped pores, while more complex geometries see a steady decrease in solvation number as pore size is decreased.

Beeby as his advisor. His thesis, ‘The Structure of Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions and Some Problems in Neutron Scattering from Water’, was presented and successfully defended in 1977. He went on to win a Royal Society European Fellowship on the topic of Statistical Mechanics of Liquids, and spent the next few years working with experts in this area in Europe, initially with John Perram at Odense, Denmark, and later with Friedrich Kohler on perturbation theory in Bochum, Germany. During this period he started a collaboration with Giovanni Jacucci in Trento, learning molecular simulation in the process. He then moved to Royal Holloway College, just outside London, to work with Konrad Singer. Here he met many of the active young scientists working on liquid theory and simulation at the time – including Ian MacDonald, Steve Thompson, Paulette Clancy, David Fincham and David Heyes. In 1982, he accepted an offer from Jay Rasaiah to spend a year at the University of Maine, where he was involved in undergraduate teaching as well as research. The following year he received an invitation from Keith Gubbins to spend a year at Cornell University, where he carried out research on molecular modelling and simulation of liquids. Following his time at Cornell, in 1984 Nick accepted a position with British Petroleum at their research laboratory at Sunbury-on-Thames, to start and build a program on molecular modelling and simulation applied to petroleum fluids. Over the next few years, he built up a very strong team in this area that became recognised as the best in the petroleum industry. In 1992, he took a position with Biosym at their research institute in Orsay (France). One of us (Marc Meunier) had the pleasure of working with him then on a research project involving virucides dissolved in surgery gloves (which went on manufacturing about 10 years later!). After a short period of time at the University of Wales at Bangor as Professor of Physical Chemistry – where Marc Meunier was his Ph.D. student – Nick took the position of Professor of Chemical Physics and Head of the Computational, Theoretical and Structural Chemistry group at Imperial College, London. From 2006 to 2011, he served as Vice Chancellor at University College Dublin, while on a leave of absence from Imperial College. Following this, Nick went back to his earlier position at Imperial College in London. During his professional career Nick has accumulated many awards and honours, such as the Royal Society of Chemistry 1998 Medal for Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics for his research on adsorption and transport on surfaces and in pores and the 2006 NSTI Fellow Award for Outstanding Contributions towards the Advancement of the Nanotechnology, Microtechnology and Biotechnology Community. Nick has been actively publishing in the field of simulation and nanoscience for the last 35 years and launched this very journal 25 years ago. His early work focused on simulations of liquids and nanoporous materials described (initially) by hard-sphere models and, he used various Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics approaches to predict thermodynamics properties and phase equilibria of liquids of industrial interest (e.g. alkanes or fuels). As professor, Nick’s research diversified to include modelling electron transport in high-voltage electric cables, mechanical and wetting properties of carbon nanotubes and modelling of nanomaterials in general (carbon nanopores, nanofluidics and so on). He also recently returned to wet chemistry (well, his students anyway!) and founded the Journal of Experimental Nanoscience and Nanoscience Methods. In a recent interview, Professor N. Quirke, Editor-inChief of the journal Molecular Simulation tells how the journal has been evolving in its 25 years, growing fivefold in size. It is really a multidisciplinary journal.

Consequently, TiO(2) is widely applied in many fields, such as implant materials, photocatalysis, pigments, cosmetic additives, etc. Mesoporous TiO(2) finds many industrial applications, because of its high surface area and stable structure. However, the strong interaction between TiO(2) and water molecules sometimes limits its application to solution environments. Our previous computational work showed that changes to the surface chemistry of TiO(2) can affect the hydrogen bond network of water molecules on the TiO(2) surface, and so influence the diffusion of water in the slits. Thus, a carbon-modified TiO(2) surface could be an alternative way to avoid this limitation. In this work, a slit pore model with a modified TiO(2) surface (pore widths 1.2 nm, 1.6 nm and 2.0 nm) with varying carbon coverages (0%, 7%, 47%, 53%, 93% and 100%) was presented. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were then performed to investigate the sorption and diffusion of water in these slits. Simulation results showed that the interfacial water molecules on bare TiO(2) regions were little affected by the neighboring carbon, and they have the same properties as those on bare TiO(2) surfaces. However, the diffusion of water molecules in the center of the slit was enhanced on increase of carbon coverage, because the carbon layer broke the hydrogen bond network between the interfacial water molecules and those on the bare TiO(2) surface. It was found that in the slits (>1.2 nm) fully covered by carbon the diffusion coefficients of water are larger than that of bulk water. Moreover, large pore sizes caused an increase in the mobility of water molecules in carbon-modified TiO(2), in agreement with previous experimental work.}, number={48}, journal={Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics}, publisher={Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)}, author={Wei, Ming-Jie and Zhang, Luzheng and Lu, Linghong and Zhu, Yudan and Gubbins, Keith E. and Lu, Xiaohua}, year={2012}, pages={16536} } @article{huang_joshi_duin_bandosz_gubbins_2012, title={ReaxFF molecular dynamics simulation of thermal stability of a Cu3(BTC)2 metal–organic framework}, volume={14}, ISSN={1463-9076 1463-9084}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/C2CP41511A}, DOI={10.1039/c2cp41511a}, abstractNote={The thermal stability of a dehydrated Cu(3)(BTC)(2) (copper(II) benzene 1,3,5-tricarboxylate) metal-organic framework was studied by molecular dynamics simulation with a ReaxFF reactive force field.

As expected for pores of a regular geometry, the filling occurs at well-defined pressures which are an increasing function of the pore width H. In contrast, in qualitative agreement with experimental data for activated carbon fibers, the filling of the disordered carbon is continuous and spans over a large pressure range. The structure and dynamics of benzene in the disordered carbon also strongly depart from that for the slit pore geometry. While benzene in the slit graphite nanopores exhibits significant layering, benzene in the disordered porous carbon exhibits a liquid-like structure very close to its bulk counterpart. Both the ordering and self-diffusivity of benzene in the graphite nanopores depend in a complex manner on the pore width. The dynamics is either slower or faster than its bulk counterpart; our data show that the self-diffusivity decreases as the number of confined layers n divided by the pore width H increases (except for very small pore sizes for which benzene crystallizes and is necessarily slower than the liquid phase). The dynamics of benzene in the disordered porous carbon is isotropic and is much slower than that for the graphite slit nanopores (even with the smallest slit nanopore considered in this work).

The emphasis is on the new and diverse phenomena that arise due to the non-spherical nature of the molecules and of their intermolecular forces, such as new phase transitions, interfacial phenomena, structural features, and dielectric effects. In addition to application of perturbation theories and integral equation theories to physical property calculation, new theory is introduced as needed; for example, the theory of hard non-spherical particles, Kirkwood–Buff theory of mixtures,, the theory of associating liquids, density functional theory of inhomogeneous fluids, scattering theory of the structure factor, and the theory of dielectric phenomena and equilibrium spectral properties are treated. Throughout, tests of the theory against molecular simulation and experimental results are emphasized.

The ammonia adsorption on the composites is higher than that measured separately on the MOF component and on GO. The strong adsorption of ammonia caused by chemical interactions on different adsorption sites is evidenced by the trends in the isosteric heats of adsorption. The molecular simulations conducted on HKUST-1 support the trends observed experimentally. In particular, the strong chemisorption of ammonia on the metallic centers of HKUST-1 is confirmed.

Both materials exhibit a maximum in the diffusion coefficient as well as anomalous (sub-diffusive) behavior in the mean-squared displacements at short times at some relative pressures. In BPL, the anomalous diffusion occurs at low relative pressures, due to the trapping of argon atoms in small pores.

A range of effects is examined including the mixture concentration, the size ratio of the two components, and the nanotube diameter. The transition from single-file to Fickian diffusion in varying carbon nanotube diameters is analyzed in terms of the Fickian self-diffusivity and the single-file mobility of the mixture components. It is found that the single-file to Fickian carbon nanotube transition diameter is a unique property of the individual molecule’s diameter and remains unchanged regardless of the mixture composition. In applications of binary mixtures, each component may crossover from single-file to Fickian diffusion in a different carbon nanotube diameter, giving rise to bimodal diffusion in some nanotubes. This transition allows for one species to diffuse in single-file while the other diffuses by a Fickian mechanism, yielding orders of magnitude difference between the self-diffusional rates of the two molecules. This phenomenon might be further extended to alter the diffusional motion of molecules in nanoporous materials.}, number={9}, journal={JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS}, author={Chen, Qu and Moore, Joshua D. and Liu, Ying-Chun and Roussel, Thomas J. and Wang, Qi and Wu, Tao and Gubbins, Keith E.}, year={2010}, month={Sep} } @inbook{santiso_huang_gubbins_kostov_george_nardelli_2009, title={Ab initio simulations of chemical reactions in nanostructured carbon materials}, ISBN={1588831388}, booktitle={Quantum chemical calculations of surfaces and interfaces of materials}, publisher={Stevenson Ranch, Calif.: American Scientific Publishers,}, author={Santiso, E.

The effect of temperature and surface chemistry is addressed by studying the adsorption of benzene at 293 and 323 K on both fully and partially hydroxylated silica surfaces or nanopores. We also consider the adsorption of benzene in a cylindrical nanopore of diameter D=3.6 nm and compare our results with those obtained for planar surfaces. The structure of benzene in the vicinity of the planar surface and confined in the cylindrical nanopore is determined by calculating orientational order parameters and examining positional pair correlation functions. The density profiles of adsorbed benzene reveal the strong layering of the adsorbate, which decays with the distance from the silica surface. At a given temperature and at low pressures, the film adsorbed at the fully hydroxylated silica surface is larger than that for the partially hydroxylated silica surface. This result is due to an increase in the density of silanol groups that induces an increase in the polarity of the silica surface, which becomes more attractive for the adsorbate. Our results also suggest that the benzene molecules prefer an orientation in which their ring is nearly perpendicular to the surface when fully hydroxylated surfaces are considered. When partially hydroxylated surfaces are considered, a second preferential orientation is observed where the benzene ring forms an angle of approximately 50 degrees with the silica surface. In this case, the average orientation of the benzene molecules appears disordered as in the bulk phase. These results suggest that determining the experimental orientation of benzene in the vicinity of a silica surface is a difficult task even when the surface chemistry is known. Capillary condensation in the nanopores involves a transition from a partially filled pore (a thin film adsorbed at the pore surface) to a completely filled pore configuration where the confined liquid coexists at equilibrium with the external gas phase. The disordered orientation of the adsorbed benzene molecules in the case of the partially hydroxylated surface favors the condensation of benzene molecules (the condensation pressure for this substrate is lower than that for the fully hydroxylated surface). Finally, these results are consistent with the structural analysis, showing that (1) benzene tends to relax its liquid structure a little in order to optimize its molecular arrangement near the pore wall and (2) the disordering of the liquid structure induced by the surface becomes stronger as the interaction with the pore wall increases.}, number={18}, journal={LANGMUIR}, author={Coasne, Benoit and Alba-Simionesco, Christiane and Audonnet, Fabrice and Dosseh, Gilberte and Gubbins, Keith E.}, year={2009}, month={Sep}, pages={10648–10659} } @inproceedings{liu_moore_chen_roussel_wang_gubbins_2009, place={Leipzig}, title={Crossover from Single-File to Fickian Diffusion in Carbon Nanotubes and Nanotube Bundles: Pure Components and Mixtures}, ISBN={9783865833877}, booktitle={Diffusion Fundamentals III: Athens 2009}, publisher={Leipziger Universitätsverlag}, author={Liu, Ying-Chun and Moore, Joshua D. and Chen, Qu and Roussel, Thomas J. and Wang, Qi and Gubbins, Keith E.}, editor={Chmelik, C. and Kanellopoulos, N. and Kärger, J. and Theodorou, D.Editors}, year={2009}, month={Aug}, pages={164–182} } @article{palmer_brennan_hurley_balboa_gubbins_2009, title={Detailed structural models for activated carbons from molecular simulation}, volume={47}, ISSN={["0008-6223"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.carbon.2009.06.037}, abstractNote={A detailed atomistic model of Calgon Co.'s bituminous coal-based activated carbon (BPL) was developed using an adaptation of the Hybrid Reverse Monte Carlo method.

For all systems, the solid/liquid coexistence line is located at higher temperature than that for the bulk phase, as expected for fluids for which the wall/fluid interaction is stronger than the fluid/fluid interaction. In the case of the mixtures, the phase diagram for the confined system is of the same type as that for the bulk (azeotropic). It is also found that the freezing temperatures for the confined fluids and mixture are much more affected by pressure than those for the bulk phase. By calculating the isothermal compressibility of the confined fluids and determining the slope of the solid/liquid coexistence line (T,P) from the Clapeyron equation, we show that such a strong effect of pressure is not related to reduced compressibility within the pores. On the other hand, the pressure dependence of the in-pore freezing temperature is correctly described in the frame of the model proposed by Miyahara et al. [ Miyahara , M. ; Kanda , H. ; Shibao , M. ; Higashitani , K. J. Chem. Phys. 2000 , 112 , 9909. ], which is based on the pressure difference between the bulk and confined phases (capillary effect).

The methodology for modeling the SBA-15 structure involves molecular and mesoscale simulations combined with geometrical interpolation techniques. First, a mesoscale model is prepared by mimicking the synthesis process using lattice Monte Carlo simulations. The main physical features of this mesoscale pore model are then carved out of an atomistic silica block; both the mesopores and the micropores are incorporated from the mimetic simulations. The calculated pore size distribution, surface area, and simulated TEM images of the model structure are in good agreement with those obtained from experimental samples of SBA-15. We then investigate the adsorption of argon in this structure using Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations. The adsorption results for our SBA-15 model are compared with those for a similar model that does not include the micropores; we also compare with results obtained in a regular cylindrical pore. The simulated adsorption isotherm for the SBA-15 model shows semiquantitative agreement with the experimental isotherm for a SBA-15 sample having a similar pore size. We observe that the presence of the micropores leads to increased adsorption at low pressure compared to the case of a model without micropores in the pore walls.

The structural characteristics of the coordination shells of ions are studied, including the ion-oxygen radial distribution functions, the coordination numbers, and the orientation distributions of the water molecules. Simulation results show that the first coordination shells of the five ions still exist in the nanoscale confinement. Nevertheless, the first coordination shell structures of cations change more significantly than those of anions because of the preferential orientation of the water molecules induced by the carbon nanotube. The first coordination shells of cations are considerably less ordered in the nanotube than in the bulk solution, whereas the change of the first coordination shell structures of the anions is minor. Furthermore, the confinement induces the anomalous behavior of the coordination shells of the ions with temperature. The first coordination shell of K(+) are found to be more ordered as the temperature increases only in the carbon nanotube with the effective diameter of 1.0 nm, implying the enhancement of the ionic hydration with temperature. This is contrary to that in the bulk solution. The coordination shells of the other four ions do not have such behavior in the carbon nanotube with the effective diameter ranging from 0.73 to 1.00 nm. The easier distortion of the coordination shell of K(+) and the match of the shell size and the nanotube size may play roles in this phenomenon. The exchange of water molecules in the first coordination shells of the ions with the solution and the ion diffusion along the axial direction of the nanotube are also investigated.

An experimental investigation of the role of each possible catalytic effect is challenging, since experimental measurements reflect an integration over multiple effects. In this work, we present a review of our most recent research on some of the factors that can influence a chemical reaction in confinement through the study of several model systems. We first consider the influence of steric hindrance on the equilibrium and kinetics for the rotational isomerizations of several small hydrocarbons [E.E. Santiso, M. Buongiorno Nardelli, K.E. Gubbins, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., (2007), in press]. These examples illustrate how reaction rates can vary doubly exponentially with the dimensions of the confining material (the ‘shape-catalytic’ effect). As a second example, we consider the unimolecular decomposition of formaldehyde on graphitic carbon pores of various sizes [E.E. Santiso, A.M. George, K.E. Gubbins, M. Buongiorno Nardelli, J. Chem. Phys. 125 (2006) 084711]. These results illustrate the influence of electrostatic interactions with the supporting material on the reaction mechanism and equilibrium yield for reactions involving a charge transfer. As a final example, we consider the interaction of a water molecule with a defective carbon substrate as an example of a chemical interaction that can be enhanced through a shape-catalytic effect. We first show using ab initio calculations how a vacancy site on a graphene surface can induce the thermal splitting of water at relatively low temperatures [M.K. Kostov, E.E. Santiso, A.M. George, K.E. Gubbins, M. Buongiorno Nardelli, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95 (2005) 136105].

Model A is a regular slit-shaped nanopore, which represents an ordered graphitic porous carbon with a single pore width. Model B is a realistic sample of a disordered porous carbon obtained from reverse Monte Carlo. The morphological pore shape and topological pore connectivity disorders of model B represent in a realistic way the complex porous structure of materials obtained after carbonization and activation of pure saccharose. This study is aimed at estimating how the effect of disorder of the porous material affects freezing and melting of simple adsorbates. Freezing of argon in the slit pore model conforms to the classical behavior for an adsorbate confined in a strongly attractive pore; the in-pore freezing temperature is higher than that of the bulk fluid, and the shift in freezing temperature increases with decreasing pore size. It is found that the two-dimensional crystal layers of argon within the slit pores have a hexagonal structure i.e., triangular symmetry. Freezing of argon within model B strongly departs from that observed for model A. No crystallization is observed for argon in the complex porosity of model B. Nevertheless the confined phase undergoes structural changes at a temperature T=115 K; this temperature is close to the freezing temperature found for the slit pore with width H=1.1 nm, which corresponds to the mean pore size in model B. For temperatures larger than T =115 K, the confined phase in model B exhibits a liquid-like behavior as revealed from pair correlation functions and bond-order parameters. On the other hand, the confined phase for T115 K has more shortrange order than the liquid phase but its overall behavior remains liquid-like. Our results indicate that the changes observed at T115 K are due 1 to the appearance in the confined phase of a small amount of crystal atoms and 2 to the fact that the fraction of liquid-like atoms having at least seven nearest neighbors reaches a plateau value of 80%.

These small member rings are high energy structures and are believed to be an artifact of the usual RMC method. The presence of the energy penalty term in our simulation protocol penalizes the formation of these structures. Using a ring connectivity analysis method that we developed, we find that these atomistic models of carbons are made up of defective graphene segments twisted in a complex way. These graphene segments are largely made up of 6 carbon member rings, but also contain some 5 and 7 carbon member rings. We also found that in addition to the graphene segments there are some carbon chains which do not belong to any graphene segments.

We report a new technique for fast computation of pore size distributions of model materials from knowledge of the molecular coordinates. The pore size distribution (PSD) is defined as the statistical distribution of the radius of the largest sphere that can be fitted inside a pore at a given point. Using constrained nonlinear optimization, we calculate the maximum radii of test particles at random points inside the pore cavity. The final pore size distribution is then obtained by sampling the test particle radii using Monte Carlo integration. The computation time depends on factors such as the number of atoms, the sampling resolution, and the desired accuracy. However, even for large systems, PSDs with very high accuracy (>99.9%) are obtained in less than 24 h on a 3 GHz Pentium IV processor. The technique is validated by applying it to model structures, whose pore size distributions are already known.

The fully atomistic model employed in MD simulations is mapped onto an implicit water model, where the internal degrees of freedom of ethanol and all the degrees of freedom of water are integrated out. This gives us an effective one-component system consisting only of ethanol beads. The effective interaction potential between a pair of ethanol beads, Φ(R), is approximated at three levels of sophistication. At the lowest one, we approximate Φ(R) by the potential of mean force between the centers of mass of two ethanol beads calculated in the fully atomistic MD simulations; at the second level, we take Φ(R) to be the potential linked to total and direct correlation functions in the hypernetted-chain closure of the Ornstein-Zernike equation. At the third level we approximate Φ(R) numerically by improving it iteratively through the Boltzmann inversion scheme. Our results indicate that the level-one approach works only at the lowest (8 wt %) concentration; the level-two approach works only up to intermediate ethanol concentrations (ca. 50 wt %).

Both models are generated using a similar procedure, which consists of carving the pore out of an atomistic silica block. The differences between the two models are analyzed in terms of small angle neutron scattering spectra as well as adsorption isotherms and isosteric heat curves for Ar at 87 K and Xe at 195 K. As expected for capillary condensation in regular nanopores, the Ar and Xe adsorption/desorption cycles for model A exhibit a large hysteresis loop having a symmetrical shape, i.e., with parallel adsorption and desorption branches. The features of the adsorption isotherms for model B strongly depart from those observed for model A. Both the Ar and Xe adsorption branches for model B correspond to a quasicontinuous pore filling that involves coexistence within the pore of liquid bridges and gas nanobubbles. As in the case of model A, the Ar adsorption isotherm for model B exhibits a significant hysteresis loop; however, the shape of the loop is asymmetrical with a desorption branch much steeper than the adsorption branch. In contrast, the adsorption/desorption cycle for Xe in model B is quasicontinuous and quasireversible.

We show that the original predictions scanning behavior, congruence are not valid unless the existence of the adsorbed film is neglected or the dependence of its thickness on the pressure is neglected. We also calculate the scanning curves and subloops that are expected for an assembly of pores having either a regular or irregular nonconstant section. These predictions over the scanning behavior within capillary condensation hysteresis can be used to check whether real materials are made up of independent pores or not. Our results are discussed in the light of experiments and density functional theory calculations for adsorption in porous media. I. INTRODUCTION Adsorption isotherms in mesoporous materials pore size in the range 2–1 0 nm usually exhibit a sharp increase of the adsorbed amount at a pressure below the bulk saturation pressure of the fluid. Such an increase corresponds to the capillary condensation of the fluid confined within the porous solid. In most systems, this phenomenon is accompanied with a large and reproducible hysteresis loop. 1–3 Experimental hysteresis loops are either symmetrical with quasiparallel adsorption/desorption branches type H1 or asymmetrical with a desorption branch much steeper than the adsorption branch type H2. 4 It is generally believed that the shape of the hysteresis loop is related to the absence or presence of connected pores in the porous material. The following International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists IUPAC classification has been proposed. 4 Type H1 hysteresis is usually interpreted as the signature of a material made up of unconnected pores. In this case, theoretical works based on density functional theory DFT, 5,6 lattice gas models, 7 as well as molecular simulations 8,9 suggest that the hysteresis loop is a van der Waals loop of the confined system, i.e., an intrinsic property of the confined fluid. Such an interpretation is usually invoked to explain symmetrical hysteresis loops that are observed for MCM-41 and SBA-15}, number={2}, journal={PHYSICAL REVIEW B}, author={Coasne, B and Gubbins, KE and Pellenq, RJM}, year={2005}, month={Jul} } @article{santiso_george_sliwinska-bartkowiak_nardelli_gubbins_2005, title={Effect of Confinement on Chemical Reactions}, volume={11}, ISSN={0929-5607 1572-8757}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10450-005-5949-9}, DOI={10.1007/s10450-005-5949-9}, abstractNote={Molecular simulation studies of chemical equilibrium for several reactions in pores of slit-like and cylindrical geometry have shown a significant effect of the confinement on the equilibrium compositions, with differences of several orders of magnitude with respect to the bulk fluid phase in some cases.

As the temperature increases, the relative pressure at which pore filling occurs increases and the size of the hysteresis loop decreases.

Both the morphological and topological disorders are shown to significantly affect the capillary condensation phenomenon. In the case of an ellipsoidal pore, we observe that the filling mechanism is similar to that of a cylindrical pore having the same section area but with a lower condensation pressure. We show that the adsorption/desorption hysteresis loop is asymmetrical for the pore with constrictions while it is symmetrical for the regular cylindrical pore. Moreover, the Ar adsorption isotherm for the constricted pore reproduces the main features of that for the fully disordered Vycor‐like porous matrix. The results for the different pore geometries (having no direct interface with the gas reservoir) indicate that the desorption occurs through cavitation at a pressure driven by the smallest void size. We also consider the validity of the BET and BJH methods for the different porous matrices. Except for the Vycor‐like matrix, the BET surface assessed from Ar adsorption isotherm at 77 K always significantly overestimates the intrinsic surface of the pore (even for a planar surface). The disagreement between the BET surface and the geometrical surface is found to increase as the confinement increases (cylindrical pore) and/or the shape of the pore becomes asymmetrical (ellipsoidal pore). Interestingly, the best agreement between the BET and the geometrical surface is found in the case of the pore with a constriction, i.e. a system that exhibits a surface with both negative and positive curvature regions. This idea is supported by the results for the Vycor‐like matrix, which has a distorted surface (many negative curvature regions combined with positive curvature regions): for this disordered porous matrix, the BET surface is found to underestimate the intrinsic surface. Finally, we show that the pore size determined using the BJH method always underestimates the pore size, in agreement with previous experimental and simulation studies.}, number={2}, journal={PARTICLE & PARTICLE SYSTEMS CHARACTERIZATION}, author={Coasne, B and Gubbins, KE and Pellenq, RJM}, year={2004}, month={Aug}, pages={149–160} } @article{bock_gubbins_2004, title={Anomalous temperature dependence of surfactant self-assembly from aqueous solution}, volume={92}, ISSN={["1079-7114"]}, DOI={10.1103/physrevlett.92.135701}, abstractNote={The self-assembly of surfactant molecules from aqueous solutions exhibits anomalous and as yet unexplained temperature dependence.

Also, it is found that the freezing temperature becomes larger as the ratio α of the wall/fluid to the fluid/fluid interactions increases, in agreement with previous simulation studies on pure substances confined in nanopores. In the case of pore walls having a stronger affinity for Kr atoms (ε Ar/W<ε Kr/W), it is observed that both the contact and inner layers of the confined mixture undergo, at the same temperature, a transition from the liquid phase to the crystal phase. The freezing of Ar/Kr mixtures confined between the walls having a stronger affinity for Ar (ε Ar/W > ε Kr/W) is more complex: for Kr molar concentration lower than 0.35, we observe the presence of an intermediate state between all layers being 2D hexagonal crystals and all the layers being liquid. This intermediate state consists of a crystalline contact layer and a liquid-like inner layer. It is also shown that the qualitative variations of the increase of freezing temperature with the molar composition depend on the affinity of the pore wall for the different components. These results confirm that, in addition to the parameter α the ratio of the wall/fluid interactions for the two species, η=ϵAr/W/ϵKr/W, is a key variable in determining the freezing and melting behaviour of the confined mixture.}, number={19-20}, journal={MOLECULAR PHYSICS}, author={Coasne, B and Czwartos, J and Gubbins, KE and Hung, FR and Sliwinska-Bartkowiak, M}, year={2004}, month={Oct}, pages={2149–2163} } @article{hung_dudziak_sliwinska-bartkowiak_gubbins_2004, title={Freezing/melting behaviour within carbon nanotubes}, volume={102}, ISSN={["1362-3028"]}, DOI={10.1080/00268970410001670090}, abstractNote={We report a study of the freezing and melting of fluids confined within multi-walled carbon nanotubes with an internal diameter of 5 nm, using experimental measurements and molecular simulations.

The method uses a combination of stochastic and dynamic simulation steps, allowing for the simulation of both thermodynamic and transport properties. The method couples a molecular dynamics simulation cell (termed dynamic cell) to a reaction mixture simulation cell (termed control cell) that is formulated upon the reaction ensemble Monte Carlo (RxMC) method, hence the term reaction ensemble molecular dynamics. Thermodynamic and transport properties are calculated in the dynamic cell by using a constant-temperature molecular dynamics simulation method. RxMC forward and reverse reaction steps are performed in the control cell only, while molecular dynamics steps are performed in both the dynamic cell and the control cell. The control cell, which acts as a sink and source reservoir, is maintained at reaction equilibrium conditions via the RxMC algorithm. The reaction ensemble molecular dynamics method is analogous to the grand canonical ensemble molecular dynamics technique, while using some elements of the osmotic molecular dynamics method, and so simulates conditions that directly relate to real, open systems.

The simulated single-walled carbon nanotubes are of 1.4 and 2.7 nm diameter ((10:10) and (20:20) respectively). In all cases considered, the adsorption isotherms are characterized by negligible adsorption at low pressures, pore filling by a capillary-condensation-like mechanism and adsorption–desorption hysteresis loops. For both pore morphologies considered, the relative pressures at which pore filling occurs, and the width of the adsorption–desorption hysteresis loop decrease with decreasing pore size. Adsorption isotherms simulated for water in carbon nanotubes show pore filling at lower relative pressures and narrower adsorption–desorption hysteresis loops when compared to adsorption isotherms simulated in carbon-slit pores of similar sizes. By using representative simulation snapshots, the mechanisms of pore filling and pore emptying are discussed. Pore filling happens by growth of hydrogen-bonded clusters of adsorbed water molecules, without the formation of monolayers as observed in the adsorption of simple fluids. Pore emptying occurs by the formation of bubbles, often in contact with the hydrophobic surface, followed by the coalescence and growth of these bubbles.}, number={3}, journal={MOLECULAR PHYSICS}, author={Striolo, A and Gubbins, KE and Chialvo, AA and Cummings, PT}, year={2004}, month={Feb}, pages={243–251} } @article{gubbins_pellenq_2004, title={Special issue: Multi-scale molecular modeling}, volume={30}, ISSN={["0892-7022"]}, DOI={10.1080/0892702042000270133}, abstractNote={Chemical reactions are often carried out under conditions that make detailed experimental investigations difficult or impossible. Examples include reactions in confined systems, such as porous media, nano-scale channels, or reverse micelles; reactions in supercritical fluids; and diffusion limited reactions, all topics of current interest. Electronicand atomisticlevel simulation methods can be very helpful in investigating such problems. However, in many cases these also are beset with difficulties. Ab initio methods are needed to determine the potential and free energy surfaces, and the reaction mechanism, but cannot handle more than a small number of atoms and very short times, and for some reactions the accuracy needed may be at or beyond the limit of what is attainable. The ab initio calculations can be used in conjunction with atomistic simulation methods, but since the reaction events are rare, specialized dynamical methods are required. Problems can also arise due to mixed ensembles. Methods for simulating chemical reactions include full scale ab initio methods — density functional theory, Møller-Plesset Perturbation, Coupled Cluster, Multireference Self-consistent Field, and other methods, as well as Car-Parinello Molecular Dynamics — and atomistic methods, such as Transition State Theory, “Blue Moon” Molecular Dynamics and other rare event methods, Transition Path Sampling, Reactive Ensemble Monte Carlo (for equilibrium composition), and Stochastic MC. Many situations of practical interest require a multi-scale approach and simulations involving much larger numbers of atoms or longer time scales than are accessible by rigorous ab initio methods. Although there has been a great deal of published work on chemical reactivity using a wide variety of methods, there has been little interaction between proponents of the different methods, nor comparisons or reviews of the relative strengths and weaknesses of these methods. This Special Issue was inspired by a CECAM Workshop on Multi-Scale Modeling of Chemical Reactions, held in Lyon in September 2003, to address these issues. An objective of the workshop was to bring together experts in these different approaches, with a view to understanding the relation between these methods and their role in studying different types of reactive systems. Several questions were addressed at this Workshop. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the various available approaches for such cases? What are the applications for which a given approach is most suited? How might we best construct multi-scale approaches to such situations? This Special Issue contains papers that cover a range of ab initio and atomistic methods for studying reactions, and a wide range of applications.

The polymers were represented as freely-jointed-hard-sphere chains composed of 10, 20, or 30 segments. The size of the interacting colloid particles was similar to or smaller than the radius of gyration of the polymers. Results show a short-range colloid–colloid depletion attraction. At low polymer concentration, this attraction slowly decays to zero at increasing separations. At higher polymer concentration, the depletion attraction is coupled to a mid-range repulsion, especially for solutions of short, stiff polymers. From the simulated forces, osmotic second virial coefficients were computed for colloids as a function of polymer concentration. The calculated osmotic second virial coefficients exhibit a non-monotonic dependence on polymer concentration, in qualitative agreement with experimental results. The simulated colloid–colloid potentials of mean force were used, within a perturbation theory, to calculate fluid–fluid and fluid–solid coexistence curves. The colloids are treated as a pseudo one-component system, and the polymers in solution are considered only through the effective pair potential between the dissolved colloids. When long flexible polymers are dissolved in solution, the phase diagram for small colloid particles shows a fluid–fluid coexistence curve at low colloid packing fraction, and a fluid–solid coexistence curve at higher packing fraction. As the size of the colloid particles increases, the molecular weight of the polymer decreases, or the polymer concentration in solution increases, the fluid–fluid coexistence curve becomes metastable with respect to the fluid–solid coexistence curve.}, number={7}, journal={MOLECULAR SIMULATION}, author={Striolo, A and Colina, CM and Gubbins, KE and Elvassore, N and Lue, L}, year={2004}, month={Jun}, pages={437–449} } @article{walker_colina_gubbins_spontak_2004, title={Thermodynamics of poly(dimethylsiloxane)/poly(ethylmethylsiloxane) (PDMS/PEMS) blends in the presence of high-pressure CO2}, volume={37}, ISSN={["1520-5835"]}, DOI={10.1021/ma034920o}, abstractNote={Processing polymer blends in the presence of high-pressure carbon dioxide (CO2) affords numerous advantages over organic solvents and is becoming a commercially viable and environmentally responsible alternative in the development of new multicomponent materials.

Jack was born on 22 June 1924 in Stroud (Gloucestershire, England). He received the BSc, MSc, and PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Manchester, which perhaps explains his practical bent, and his willingness to collaborate with engineers (but he has been picky – restricted to only chemical engineers!). He did his PhD work with Sir Willis Jackson, on dielectric adsorption and relaxation in liquids and polymers. After a brief stint at Imperial College, London (in the Electrical Engineering Department), he went on to the University of Paris to work with Professors Edmund Bauer and Michel Magat, and in the process obtained a second doctorate. This time it was in Physics, perhaps his true love, since he never formally strayed from Physics again during the rest of his professional career, until just last year when he began his association with Engineering at Swansea, Wales. During the following five years Jack worked with many leaders in the field including Professor Frohlich (Liverpool), Professor Smyth (Princeton), Professor Gutowsky (Illinois), and Professor Curtis (Liverpool). During this period he developed an interest and reputation in nuclear magnetic resonance, and in the following twenty years (at Queen Mary College, University of London, and Department of Physics, University of Kent at Canterbury) made some very significant contributions to the field. Some of his major contributions include the first NMR study to obtain in one experiment the molecular reorientation correlation time in a liquid from the critical point to the glass temperature – a range of almost 10 (Proc. Phys. Soc., 74, 408, 1959). In addition, in a series of papers in 1962 (Proc. Phys. Soc., 80, 130; Phys. Lett., 2, 58), his research group observed an echo in the electronic spin resonance, which has led to several physical, chemical and medical applications. Some of this work was done with his research student, Sir Peter Mansfield, who won the Nobel Prize in medicine in 2003 for his contributions to the development of MRI techniques. He also made significant contributions to the analysis of neutron scattering measurements, by clearly demonstrating the importance of Placzek corrections in the interpretation of these results. These corrections have now become standard tools in neutron scattering experiments (Mol. Phys., 32, 301, 1976; 32, 323, 1976; 36, 1161, 1978; 37, 1181, 1978; 37, 1655, 1979). In the early 1970s Jack developed an interest in the newly emerging field of molecular simulations. Some of his early contributions to this field include a series of papers on the properties of nitrogen, which also included development of a singularity free algorithm for linear diatomic molecules. These are considered seminal papers in this field, and demonstrated the importance of quadrupole moments when investigating the thermodynamic behaviour of fluids like nitrogen (Mol. Phys., 30, 921, 1975; 32, 1383, 1976). His contributions to this field continue to this day. They include quantum corrections to classical simulation results (Mol. Phys., 38, 1875, 1979). In addition he has made important contributions to areas of both fundamental and practical interest, for example permeable membranes, osmosis, reverse osmosis, and osmotic pressure. More recently he has developed an interest in the rheological behaviour of fluids with steeply repulsive potentials, which has Jack Gordon Powles MOLECULAR PHYSICS, 10–20 OCTOBER 2004, VOL. 102, NO. 19–20, 1985–1987}, number={19-20}, journal={MOLECULAR PHYSICS}, author={Murad, S and Gubbins, KE}, year={2004}, month={Oct}, pages={1985-+} } @inproceedings{brennan_turner_rice_gubbins_2003, place={New York}, title={Chemical Reactions in Highly Non-ideal Environments: Reactive Monte Carlo Simulations}, volume={690}, DOI={10.1063/1.1632152}, abstractNote={Molecular simulation studies of the physical effects of non‐ideal environments on chemical reaction equilibria and kinetics were presented.

The formation of ordered liquid crystal phases is observed in the phase containing a high surfactant concentration, and the structure of this phase depends on the system composition and strength of the interactions. The formation of hexagonal and lamellar structures at different conditions is in qualitative agreement with experimental evidence on the formation of surfactant−silica liquid crystals and the synthesis ...}, number={6}, journal={LANGMUIR}, author={Siperstein, FR and Gubbins, KE}, year={2003}, month={Mar}, pages={2049–2057} } @article{figueroa-gerstenmaier_avalos_gelb_gubbins_vega_2003, title={Pore size distribution of porous glasses: A test of the independent pore model}, volume={19}, ISSN={["0743-7463"]}, DOI={10.1021/la034686v}, abstractNote={Using the Kierlik and Rosinberg fundamental measure theory, we test the density functional theory method for determination of pore size distributions from adsorption data for porous glasses. The glasses chosen for study are model glasses prepared by a quench molecular dynamics method that mimics the experimental synthesis process and are completely characterized at the molecular level. The density functional method involves two approximations: (a) the glasses can be regarded as made up of a distribution of nonconnected pores of simple geometry, which we refer to as the independent pore model, and (b) the adsorption isotherms for these nonconnected pores can be described by the density functional theory. Using simulated adsorption isotherm data for the glasses and adsorption isotherms for the pores of simple geometry calculated by the density functional theory, a regularization method is used to determine the pore size distribution from the adsorption data. These calculated pore size distributions, as well as the adsorption isotherms for the materials, are compared with the exact geometric pore size distributions for the material and with the simulated isotherms. Both slit-shaped and cylindrical pores are used in the density functional theory method. It is found that a unique geometry is not able to accurately describe the whole adsorption isotherm. The use of slit-shaped pores gives overall better results, although the low-pressure regime is more accurate when cylindrical pores are used; reasons for this are discussed. The pore size distributions from the density functional theory are in reasonable agreement with the geometrical ones, giving the same shape and mean pore width and similar porosities in the four materials. Since it is known that the density functional theory gives excellent results for the adsorption isotherms (approximation b above), this comparison tests the independent pore model directly.}, number={20}, journal={LANGMUIR}, author={Figueroa-Gerstenmaier, S and Avalos, JB and Gelb, LD and Gubbins, KE and Vega, LF}, year={2003}, month={Sep}, pages={8592–8604} } @article{pikunic_clinard_cohaut_gubbins_guet_pellenq_rannou_rouzaud_2003, title={Structural Modeling of porous carbons: Constrained reverse Monte Carlo method}, volume={19}, ISSN={["0743-7463"]}, DOI={10.1021/la034595y}, abstractNote={We present a constrained reverse Monte Carlo method for structural modeling of porous carbons.

In this respect, the uniqueness theorem of statistical mechanics provides a helpful guide to the design of reverse Monte Carlo methods that give reliable structures.

The value of the α parameter determines the qualitative nature of the freezing behavior, for example, the direction of change in the freezing temperature and the presence or absence of new phases. For slit-shaped pores, larger α values lead to an increase in the freezing temperature of the confined fluid, and to the presence of a hexatic phase. For pores that accommodate three or more layers of adsorbate molecules several kinds of contact layer phase (inhomogeneous phases in which the contact layer has a different structure than the inner layers) are observed. Smaller α values lead to a decrease in the freezing temperature. The parameter H* determines the magnitude of shift in the freezing temperature, and can also affect the presence of some of the new phases. Results are presented as plots of transition temperature vs α for a particular pore width.

Liquid crystal behavior is observed in the phase containing high-surfactant and high-silica concentration, with different structures depending on the overall system composition that are similar to the M41 family.

The work is motivated by an attempt to understand the molecular origins of the kinetic selectivity displayed when air is separated into its major components using pressure swing adsorption. A combination of non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD), equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) and grand canonical Monte Carlo methods has been employed in our study to extract the maximum information. Transport diffusivities, self-diffusivities, permeabilities and Darken thermodynamic factors have been calculated as a function of pore width and temperature for pure component oxygen and nitrogen. In addition, new EMD simulation data for an 80:20 mixture of nitrogen and oxygen is reported, including a direct calculation of the Stefan-Maxwell coefficients. The results are discussed in terms of the oxygen selectivity and the possible mechanisms, which increase or decrease this quantity. We find that the pore width behaviour of the diffusion coefficients consists of three distinct regimes: a regime at larger pore widths in which single component diffusion coefficients are largely independent of pore width, an optimum pore width at which both diffusivities increase substantially but the slit pore is selective towards nitrogen, and a regime at very low pore widths at which the diffusivities decrease sharply, but the slits are selective towards oxygen. The mechanism behind each of these regimes is discussed in terms of “entropic” effects and potential barrier heights. We have also found that permeability selectivity is substantially reduced in a mixture of the two gases with a composition similar to that of air. Cross diffusion coefficients in the mixture have been calculated and shown to be non-negligible.}, number={5-6}, journal={MOLECULAR SIMULATION}, author={Travis, KP and Gubbins, KE}, year={2001}, pages={405–439} } @article{sliwinska-bartkowiak_dudziak_sikorski_gras_gubbins_radhakrishnan_2001, title={Dielectric studies of freezing behavior in porous materials: Water and methanol in activated carbon fibres}, volume={3}, ISSN={["1463-9076"]}, DOI={10.1039/b009792f}, abstractNote={We report both experimental measurements and molecular simulations of the melting and freezing behavior of two dipolar fluids, water and methanol, in activated carbon fibres.

The measured relaxation times indicate that the low temperature phase (below 298 K) is a crystalline or partially crystalline solid phase, while that above 324 K is a liquid-like phase; for the intermediate phase, in the range 298–324 K, the relaxation times are of the order 10−5s, which is typical of a hexatic phase. The melting temperature of the confined system is well above that of bulk aniline, which is 267 K. The simulations are carried out using the Grand Canonical Monte Carlo method together with Landau free energy calculations, and phase transitions are located as state points where the grand free energies of two confined phases are equal. The nature of these phases is determined by analysis of in-plane pair positional and orientational correlation functions. The simulations also show two transitions. The first is a transition from a two-dimensional hexagonal crystal phase to a hexatic phase at 296 K; the second transition is from the hexatic to a liquid-like phase at 336 K.

The former occurs when there is a gradient in chemical potential of the pore fluid, while the latter occurs in the presence of a pressure gradient. In general, fluid transport occurs by both of these mechanisms and their respective contributions to the total intra-pore flux are approximately additive. Experimentally, there is no unambiguous way of determining the individual contributions to the total flux of these two modes of transport. Fortunately, molecular simulations does provide a solution. We present a novel simulation method in which the separate contributions to the total flux are determined. The method involves the use of two non-equilibrium molecular dynamics techniques: dual control volume grand canonical molecular dynamics (DCV GCMD) and an algorithm for simulating planar Poiseuille flow. We apply this technique to study the combined (viscous and diffusive) transport of methane through single slit-shaped graphite pores of width 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 methane diameters. We find that the viscous contribution to the total intrapore flux through each of these pores is 10%, 15% and 34%, respectively.}, number={3-4}, journal={MOLECULAR SIMULATION}, author={Travis, KP and Gubbins, KE}, year={2000}, pages={209–227} } @inproceedings{turner_brennan_gubbins_johnson_2000, title={EFFECT OF CONFINEMENT ON CHEMICAL REACTION EQUILIBRIUM}, ISBN={9789810242633 9789812793331}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1142/9789812793331_0049}, DOI={10.1142/9789812793331_0049}, booktitle={Adsorption Science and Technology}, publisher={WORLD SCIENTIFIC}, author={Turner, C.

Specific associating square-well sites are placed protruding from the γ-Al2O3 surface, having identical size and energy parameters to those used on the ethylene molecules, in order to mimic Cu(I) cations. We present Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulation results for single-component adsorption isotherms for ethane and ethylene on bare γ-Al2O3 and on CuCl/γ-Al2O3. Adsorption on bare γ-Al2O3 is very similar for both molecules, with no selectivity for ethylene. Preferential adsorption of ethylene is seen on CuCl/γ-Al2O3, whereas ethane adsorption is decreased, probably due to the presence of CuCl molecules. The olefin capacity, using CuCl/γ-Al2O3 as sorbent, is much higher that for other materials. The agreement between simulation and experimental results is excellent.}, journal={Fluid Phase Equilibria}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Blas, Felipe J. and Vega, Lourdes F. and Gubbins, Keith E.}, year={1998}, month={Sep}, pages={117–124} } @article{müller_gubbins_1998, title={Molecular simulation study of hydrophilic and hydrophobic behavior of activated carbon surfaces}, volume={36}, ISSN={0008-6223}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/s0008-6223(98)00135-3}, DOI={10.1016/s0008-6223(98)00135-3}, abstractNote={We report a molecular simulation study of the adsorption of methane/water vapor mixtures on porous activated carbons, which are doped by placing associating oxygenated sites on the pore surfaces.

Using the GCMD technique, a novel freezing transition is observed which results in pore blocking in the narrow pores of the network, which are less than 1 nm wide. This freezing results from the adsorption energy barrier at the junction between the narrow and wider pores. This type of pore blocking could account for the apparent increase in pore volume with increasing temperature that has been experimentally observed in microporous graphite systems.

Applications to carbons and oxides are given. The DFT method offers several advantages over classical methods: (a) a valid and accurate description for small pores; (b) a description of the full adsorption isotherm (not just the capillary condensation pressure), as well as other properties such as heats of adsorption; (c) it can be used for supercritical conditions; (d) it accounts for effects of pore shape; (e) it can be improved in a systematic way, since it rests on fundamental statistical mechanics. A critique of the method as currently applied is also offered. In common with most other PSD methods, the model neglects connectivity and pore blocking, and changes in pore size and geometry with pressure and temperature, and assumes that heterogeneity due to differences in pore shape and surface chemical groups can be approximated by an effective porous material, in which all heterogeneity is due to a distribution in pore sizes. Additional tests, using molecular simulation and experiment, are needed to determine whether these neglected effects exhibit signatures in experimental results that are distinct from the PSD effects.

Three types of pore wall were considered: graphitic carbon (strongly attractive walls), “methane’’ walls (wall attractions equal to those in the adsorbate phase), and hard walls. For each system the change from a fluidlike to a solidlike adsorbed phase was observed, and the shift in freezing or melting temperature from that of the bulk adsorbate material was determined. As well as changes in the overall properties of the adsorbate phase, corresponding changes in the individual adsorbate layers in the pore were studied. In addition hysteresis on heating and cooling was examined. For the graphitic carbon walls the freezing temperature was raised relative to that of the bulk material, the elevation being greater for smaller pore widths; however, no freezing transition was observed for pore widths below about 5.3σ. In addition, the contact layer of adsorbate froze at a temperature higher than the inner layers. For pores with methane walls (walls of LJ molecules having the same density and intermolecular interactions as the adsorbate phase) no shift in freezing temperature occurred, while pores with hard walls showed a decrease in freezing temperature relative to the bulk; in the case of hard walls, the contact layer of adsorbate froze at a lower temperature than the inner layers. Considerable hysteresis was observed in some cases, and the width of the hysteresis loop was sensitive to pore size, being wider for pores in which the adsorbed layers are tightly packed. The results indicate that the direction and magnitude of the shift in freezing temperature in the pore is strongly dependent on the strength of the attractive forces between the adsorbate molecules and the wall, and particularly on the magnitude of this relative to such forces between the adsorbate and a wall composed of the same adsorbate molecules. A simple thermodynamic model based on this idea is proposed, and showed to give a good account of the simulation results for methane in carbons. In the simple systems studied here the confinement causes little change in the solid lattice structure of the bulk material. This is unlikely to be the case for more complex pore geometries, and the analysis of such cases is likely to involve additional structural effects.}, number={7}, journal={The Journal of Chemical Physics}, publisher={AIP Publishing}, author={Miyahara, Minoru and Gubbins, Keith E.}, year={1997}, month={Feb}, pages={2865–2880} } @article{gelb_gubbins_1997, title={Kinetics of liquid-liquid phase separation of a binary mixture in cylindrical pores}, volume={55}, ISSN={1063-651X 1095-3787}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/physreve.55.r1290}, DOI={10.1103/physreve.55.r1290}, abstractNote={We have performed molecular dynamics simulations of the liquid-liquid phase separation of a binary mixture confined in two different sizes of cylindrical pore.

In these systems, the interactions between the two fluids and the pore wall are identical so that no wetting occurs and the fluid separates into a series of pluglike domains after a temperature quench.

Hydrogen-bonding sites are modeled using off-center square well interactions for both water and wall sites; wall sites are placed at the edges of the graphite micro-crystals. New experimental results for water adsorption at low pressures on carefully characterized activated carbons are reported, and are found to be in good agreement with the simulations.

The fluid molecules are modeled as a chain of four tangent Lennard-Jones spheres. Some of the chains have an additional associating square-well site placed in an end sphere. The activated surfaces of the slit pore are modeled via an integrated Lennard-Jones (10-4-3) potential with specific association sites protruding from the surface. We present Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulation results for the partitioning of mixtures of chains in the bulk and confined phases for this particular model. The chain-wall association governs the adsorption behavior of the system. The preferential adsorption of associating chains is seen to strongly depend on temperature and pore width.

The influence of gas pressure, pore width, and concentration has been studied. In each case there is an optimal pore width for which the selectivity is greatly enhanced. Also, there is usually an optimal pressure that gives a maximum selectivity. This effect is less pronounced than that for pore width ; the maximum occurs when the adsorbed monolayer is nearly complete. We show that, except at higher pressures, the nitrogen carrier molecules do not compete effectively with the trace component for adsorption. The bulk mole fraction that yields the infinite dilution limit in the pore is found to be simply related to the selectivity. The results obtained are for materials with monodisperse pores. To estimate the effect of pore size distribution (PSD) on selectivity, we make a comparison with a microporous carbon, AC610, for which the PSD is known.

The analysis method is applied to adsorption data for nitrogen on porous carbon. The PSDs obtained using nonlocal theory are compared to PSDs calculated from the Kelvin equation and from the Horvath-Kawazoe method. Our results indicate that nonlocal theory provides a much more accurate interpretation of the PSD than previous methods have accorded, particularly for highly microporous sorbents. Neither the Kelvin equation nor the Horvath-Kawazoe method adequately reproduces the low pressure region of the carbon isotherm, while nonlocal theory gives a quantitatively accurate fit over the full range of the isotherm. Nonlocal theory predictions of pore filling pressures also compare favorably with Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulation results. In a second study, we report preliminary results of an investigation of adsorption hysteresis in porous networks. We apply a new simulation technique, grand canonical molecular dynamics, to examine adsorption in a simplified model network. It is observed that the potential gradient at the junction between two pores of different width imposes a barrier to diffusion, preventing adsorption within a pore that would otherwise fill.

The descriptions we have devised depart from the IUPAC convention in that the filling behavior, rather than the physical width of the pore, is used as a guide to classification. Our results suggest that while the magnitude of the solid-fluid interactions dictates the pressure at which pore filling occurs, the type of filling depends primarily upon the ratio of pore width to adsorbate molecular diameter. The critical pore widths that denote the boundaries between various regimes of filling behavior are strongly dependent upon the temperature.

FTTR spectroscopic measurements in both the fundamental and overtone regions of the O-H stretch have been made over a wide range of concentration and temperature to obtain information on the energy of hydrogen-bonding and the concentrations of monomeric OH species. Theoretical work has been based on an extension of the cluster expansion theory of Wertheim. The FTIR measurements aid in determining the necessary intermolecular force parameters. The theory is used to predict the thermodynamic properties of both pure and mixed fluids, with particular emphasis on the excess properties of the mixture. Comparisons with experiment show moderately good agreement for this complex mixture.

We show that the role of water–water interaction is very important in discussing aqueous solutions of alcohols, and examine the origin of the exothermic mixing processes. We have investigated the sensitivity of the temperature dependence of the enthalpy of mixing to the water–water interaction. The CC potential is able to reproduce the temperature dependence observed in experiments, although the absolute values of the mixing enthalpy were larger than the experimental ones. While the TIP4P potential results in better agreement for the excess enthalpy and volume near room temperature, the temperature dependence of the excess enthalpy did not agree with experiment. The difference in the magnitude of the exothermic hydration for different water–water interactions is explained in terms of the energetic stability of the clathrate hydrate compared with ice, on the basis that the structure of water in the vicinity of a methanol molecule is similar to the clathrate hydrate. It is found that the energetic stability of the clathrate hydrate for the CC model is higher than that for TIP4P, and this is responsible for the larger exothermic hydration. The higher stability of the clathrate hydrate structure for the CC potential, in turn, arises from the difference in the pair interaction energy surface between two kinds of potential functions; the minimum energy structure and the flexibility of the hydrogen bonded pair.}, number={4}, journal={The Journal of Chemical Physics}, publisher={AIP Publishing}, author={Tanaka, Hideki and Gubbins, Keith E.}, year={1992}, month={Aug}, pages={2626–2634} } @article{tanaka_walsh_gubbins_1992, title={Structure of water-methanol binary mixtures: role of the water-water interaction}, volume={76}, ISSN={0026-8976 1362-3028}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00268979200102001}, DOI={10.1080/00268979200102001}, abstractNote={The structure of water-methanol mixtures at 298·15 K and 1 bar is investigated by means of the extended RISM equation with an HNC-like closure.

The description and relative importance of these effects is illustrated here by a discussion of the self-diffusion coefficient for the square well fluid. At high temperatures the particles behave as hard spheres and the Enskog kinetic theory describing excluded volume effects is adequate. Generalizations of the Enskog theory for application at lower temperatures are discussed critically. One approach assumes partial (uncorrelated) collisions for initial conditions modified to account for excluded volume effects. Another describes completed binary collisions at the core and edges of the well for the same modified initial conditions. Although both reduce to the Enskog theory at high temperatures, neither is adequate outside this limit for prediction of either the temperature or the density dependence. The proper treatment of both temperature and density effects is found to require a more detailed description of interrupted binary collisions and bound states. Such a treatment is described and shown to be in good agreement with computer simulation results.

The SDA is found to be the most accurate theory, and has a much wider range of validity than the other two. The SDA is used to study the adsorption of methane and methane-ethane mixtures on models of porous carbon in which the pores are slit-shaped.

The growth of the first layering in the simulation appears supercritical with respect to the layering critical point, but the subsequent layers appear to be true (first-order) transitions.

They can be used to study specific systems, where laboratory experiments may be too costly, time consuming, or difficult, or to develop better theoretical equations of state. In this paper we first review some of the most promising methods for studying phase equilibria in fluid mixtures. These can be divided into direct methods, which simulate the two-phase system itself, and indirect methods in which the chemical potential of a homogeneous phase is determined. Examples of the use of each of these approaches given, including the determination of vapour-liquid equilibria for binary mixtures and of the properties of dilute solutions. This is followed by an application in which the objective is to develop a better equation of state for polar and associated fluids.

Hysteresis, overshooting the thermodynamic transition, is observed for both pore filling and emptying. That is, we observe metastable one-phase states on either side of the transition. The end of the gas branch (pore filling) is signaled by the growth of an unduloid, resulting in the formation of a biconcave lens of liquid, while the end of the liquid branch (pore emptying) occurs by the formation of a bubble.

We find that the SDA provides a quite accurate description of fluid structure in the pore and that it produces phase diagrams in good agreement with the simulation data.

In formulating a molecular theory of the equation of state it is important to use a model for the molecular interactions which adequately includes the effect of shape but at the same time is computationally simple. The Gaussian overlap potential can be used effectively to model systems of highly non-spherical shape while retaining the simplicity of a single site potential. The model is applicable to both oblate and prolate molecules. We present calculations, using thermodynamic perturbation theory and Monte Carlo simulations, of the thermodynamic properties and structure of fluids of molecules interacting with a Gaussian overlap potential. Both oblate and prolate molecules are considered. The perturbation theory is based on an extension of the Weeks-Chandler-Andersen theory to orientation dependent potentials, and uses a Mayer-function expansion about a spherically averaged reference potential to compute the structure of the hard core reference system. Results are presented for a prolate model with a length to breadth ratio similar to nitrogen and an oblate model with a length to breadth ratio similar to that of benzene. The predictions of the perturbation theory are compared with the computer simulation results. The theory predicts the structural features of the fluids quite accurately except for the most anisotropic system at high density. The thermodynamic properties of the prolate system are given quite accurately by the theory but for the oblate system, which is more anisotropic, the agreement is less satisfactory.}, journal={Fluid Phase Equilibria}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Monson, P.A. and Gubbins, K.E.}, year={1983}, month={Jan}, pages={161–170} } @article{gubbins_1983, title={The Impact of Lionel Staveley's Research on the Theory of Liquid Mixtures}, volume={25}, journal={Revista Portuguesa de Quimica}, author={Gubbins, K.E.}, year={1983}, pages={74} } @article{shing_gubbins_1983, title={The chemical potential in non-ideal liquid mixtures}, volume={49}, ISSN={0026-8976 1362-3028}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00268978300101811}, DOI={10.1080/00268978300101811}, abstractNote={We report Monte Carlo calculations for two non-ideal binary mixtures of Lennard-Jones fluids A and B.

This ’’f expansion’’ has the advantage over the previously used ’’u expansion’’ that at first order it predicts orientational ordering in the surface due to electrostatic forces. The theory is used to study orientational structure in the surface for a model fluid in which the intermolecular potential consists of site–site Lennard-Jones terms plus a quadrupole–quadrupole term. When the quadrupole moment is set equal to zero, the theory predicts that the molecules on the liquid side of the dividing surface prefer an orientation perpendicular to the interface. As the strength of the quadrupole moment is increased, this preference for a perpendicular orientation is reduced, and for moderately strong quadrupoles it is replaced by a preference for an orientation parallel to the surface.

The molecular approach is based on perturbation theory, and includes contributions to the thermodynamics from isotropic and anisotropic intermolecular two-body forces, and also from three-body dispersion forces. The Redlich—Kwong equation is chosen as representative of the simple, two-parameter empirical equations. Two adjustable parameters are used in each of the two approaches, and these are obtained in the same fashion and from the same pure-component data in the two cases. For pure fluids the molecular and empirical approaches give similar results. For mixtures the two approaches give similar results when the molecules are nearly spherical (e.g., CO/CH4), but the molecular theory results are in better agreement with experiment when the two components have significantly different types of intermolecular forces (e.g., Xe/HCl, Xe/HBr). We conclude that the empirical approach offers the advantage of simplicity and ease of computation. The ad hoc mixing-rules in this approach often give good results for simple mixtures, but lead to significant errors for more complex mixtures, where there is a large difference in intermolecular forces. The principal advantage of the molecular theory lies in its more rigorous description of the concentration dependence, and hence its ability to deal with more complex mixtures; however, this advance is achieved at the expense of a substantial increase in complexity.}, number={2}, journal={Fluid Phase Equilibria}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Moser, B. and Lucas, K. and Gubbins, K.E.}, year={1981}, month={Jan}, pages={153–179} } @article{gubbins_streett_1981, title={Research on Molecular Thermodynamics and Computer Simulation}, volume={15}, journal={Chemical Engineering Education}, author={Gubbins, K.E. and Streett, W.B.}, year={1981}, pages={172} } @article{sullivan_barker_gray_streett_gubbins_1981, title={Structure of a diatomic fluid near a wall.

As a first step in this direction we have calculated the wall-site correlation functions of symmetric hard diatomic molecules near a hard planar wall. These have been obtained from a generalization of the bulk RISM integral equation theory to the situation of a polyatomic fluid in the presence of a spherical particle whose radius is allowed to become infinite. We compare our results with Monte Carlo simulations and find qualitative agreement, although somewhat worse quantitatively than in bulk fluids.

The calculated surface tensions are in good agreement with experiment. For the N2 models no detectable orientational correlations were observed, but for the Cl2 models such correlations were significant at low temperatures. In the absence of electrostatic forces the model Cl2 molecules on the liquid side of the Gibbs dividing surface showed a preferred orientation perpendicular to the surface, in qualitative agreement with first order perturbation theory. The addition of electrostatic forces decreased the tendency of the molecules to align perpendicular to the surface, and for very strong quadrupoles there appears to be a preference for a molecular alignment parallel to the surface.

These topics have been the subject of numerous reviews (1-15). Simple liquids are now fairly well understood, mainly as a result of balanced progress in theory, computer simula­ tion, and experiment over the past twenty years. Since the beginning of this decade, liquid state studies have passed beyond their preoccupation with the structure of simple liquids;and have begun to come to grips with other problems. A variety of liquid state problems have recently been attacked by computer simulation methods: rough sphere fluids (17), nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (18), melting and freezing (19-23, 27), molten salts (24-26), the gas-liquid interface (28-31), fluids of nonspherical molecuies (7, 16,32-72, 104), and others. See Wood & Erpenbeck (1) for more complete references. Simulations of molecular liquids have proceeded along three fronts: (a) simulations of water and aqueous solutions (32-46); (b) other simulations of real liquids (56-63, 72, 186,204); and (e) simulations of model liquids (47-55, 64-71, 73). The work on water has been reviewed by Stillinger (74), but the remaining literature in this field has not been comprehensively reviewed. Apart from simulations of ammonia (41), benzene (49, 63), and n-butane (57), the literature on the remaining two topics deals almost exclusively with linear molecules-molecules in which the nuclei lie on a straight line-that have an axis of rotational symmetry.

The properties of the reference system are evaluated using the expansion of Bellemans. Calculated thermodynamic properties are compared with Monte Carlo results for fluids with a potential uLJ + ua, where uLJ is the Lennard-Jones model and ua is either the point dipole, point quadrupole, or an anisotropic overlap potential.

A set of nonlinear, coupled differential equations are obtained for the correlation function, and these reduced to linear equations under well-defined approximations. When applied to a one-component system, it is found that previously proposed equations of Ornstein and Zernike, and Hart are included as special cases of the linear theory. The assumptions implicit in these equations are clarified. The theory has also been used to obtain an asymptotic solution for the pair-correlation functions of a binary mixture.

The presence of ions in water increases the activation energy for diffusion which results in a decrease in the diffusion coefficient. The increase in activation energy is represented by terms that are additive for the ions involved.

Dissolved gases are readily removed from solution by dispersing a stream of the helium carrier gas through the liquid sample, and passing the gases to a suitable detector. Techniques based on this principle involve the syringe injection of a liquid sample into a suitable gas-stripping cell. However, the transfer of the sample may readily lead to errors, particularly when the liquid temperature differs appreciably from ambient. A technique is described which overcomes these difficulties and simplifies the operations involved. The method should be readily adaptable to any gas-liquid system.}, number={10}, journal={Journal of Chromatographic Science}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={Gubbins, K.
