what method can be used in computational chemistry to investigate if solvation has any effects on the bond angle C-O-H and bond lengths C-O and O-H. Use tert-butyl alcohol and di-tert-butyl ether as examples
Dear student,
Force-field Method can be used in computational chemistry to investigate if solution has any effects on the bond angle & bond lengths.
Force field methods are based on similar energy evaluation functional which usually contain terms representing the bond stretching, angle bonding and torsion & terms for repulsion and dispersion. Commonly used solvent such as water.
A general formula for the total energy in additive force field can be written as where the components of the covalent & non covalent contribution.
