计算的体系是C100H119P4S5Cu4Au4. 该体系可能存在由于SR配体摆动造成的异构体结构。计算的目的就是通过理论的方法预测这些可能因为SR摆动而造成的异构体结构。 以下是审稿人关于计算的提问: 1. On the other hand, these structure isomers may be real mainly because they were characterized as distinct energy minima by DFT. However: a) It should be indicated more clearly which energy minimum corresponds to which isomer determined by X-ray crystallography. In particular, three energy minima were computed, whereas the X-ray structure has four (actually two were generated by the inversion center required by the P(-)1 space group). This part is really unclear. b) It should be also indicated if the energy minima and transition states were fully characterized by frequency calculations. If not, mentioned above is no more valid. 2. Are the computed transition state energies (0.69 eV or more) really compatible with rapid isomer interconversion at room temperature? Did the authors check alternative pathways associated with de-coordination/re-coordination processes? 想请教的问题是: 1:理论计算的结构都是基于晶体结构,通过假设的SR摆动机理进行结构优化得到的。对于我的体系,总原子数已经超过200,还需要进行频率计算吗? 2:从一个结构通过SR配体摆动之后到另一个结构,计算的势垒是0.69~0.8eV,这样的能垒在室温下容易发生吗?如果可以发生,可有具体的参考? 3:不太理解“de-coordination/re-coordination processes”的含义。 4:isomorphs和 isomers两者的区别是什么,如何界定? 看了之前的一个帖子http://bbs.keinsci.com/thread-2584-1-1.html,说可以凭经验确认结构是否是极小点,或可以取一系列中的一个计算频率,再行判断。然而我的体系巨大,频率计算能行得通吗(目前在计算中)?如果行不通,该如何回复又不会被质疑? 谢谢大家! |
