Preface
All praises are due to Allah, God Almighty, Who made this annual event of successful. The “3rd
Annual Basic Science International Conference (BaSIC-2013)” is an annual scientific event organized
by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Brawijaya University. As a basic science conference,
it covered a wide range of topics on basic science: physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics and statistics.
In 2013, the conference took a theme of “Basic Science Advances in Energy, Health and Environment”
as those three aspects of life are hot issues.
The conference in 2013 was the continuation of the preceding conferences initiated in 2011 as the
International Conference on Basic Science (ICBS), where it was a transformation from the similar
national events the faculty had organized since 2004. What also changed in year 2013 was the use of the
ISSN for the conference proceedings book, instead of an ISBN used in previous proceedings books. The
change was based on the fact that BaSIC is an annual event, and, therefore, the use of ISSN is more
appropriate. The proceedings book was also divided into four books: Physics, Biology, Chemistry and
Mathematics, each with a different ISSN. The proceedings were also published in electronic forms that can
be accessed from BaSIC website. I am glad that for the first time both types of publication can be realized.
This event is aimed to promote scientific research activities by Indonesian scientists, especially
those of Brawijaya University, in a hope that they may interact and build up networks and collaborations

with fellow overseas counterparts who participated in the conference. This is in line with university vision
as a World Class Entrepreneurial University.
I am grateful to all the members of the program committee who contributed for the success in
framing the program. I also thank all the delegates who contributed to the success of this conference by
accepting our invitation and submitting articles for presentation in the scientific program. I am also
indebted to PT Semen Gresik and PT PLN (Persero) for their support in sponsoring this event.
I wish for all of us a grand success in our scientific life. And I do hope that the coming conferences
will pick up similar success, and even better.

In Liquid Ammonia By AB Initio QM/MM MD Methods


Crys F Partana1,*, Ria Armunanto2, Harno D Pranowo2, M Utoro Yahya2

Abstract— Study of structural properties of Sc+ singlet in liquid
ammonia has been carried out by means of the ab initio QM/MM
molecular dynamics simulation approach. Structural properties of
Sc+ in liquid ammonia have been evaluated on the basis of a
molecular dynamics (MD) simulation by the ab initio quantum
mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM MD) method at
Restricted Hartree–Fock (RHF) level using LANL2DZ ECP basis
sets for Scndium and Dunning double-ζ plus polarization (DZP) for
liquid ammonia, respectively. Solvation structure of Sc+ in liquid
ammonia was characterized using RDF, CND, and ADF data
obtained from trajectory files. The first solvation shells consist of 6
liquid ammonia molecules, with Sc+_N distance of 2.197 Å.
Keywords: ab initio, liquid ammonia, Sc+ singlet, Solvation

I. INTRODUCTION

S

candium (Sc) is one of the transition metal plays an
important role in the metabolism of living things. The
research on scandium metal function as in suppressing the
formation of harmful bacteriostatic in Klebsiella pneumoniae
is present in serum have been carried out [1]. Scandium
complex of enterochelin promote bacteriostasis P.aeruginosa
in serum and also provide a therapeutic effect against infection
with P. aeruginosa in living organisms. Scandium can also
function as antibodies [2].
Structure and dynamics of ions dissolved by the solvent can
be determined in two ways: by experiment and computer
simulation. Determination of structure and dynamics of ion
solvation through experiments require some equipment, such
as: X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, electron diffraction,
spectroscopic methods, NMR and some of the equipment
based on the method of scattering the others. Determination of
structure and solvation dynamics through computer
simulations performed by Monte Carlo simulation (MC) and
Molecular Dynamics (MD) [3].
Ray diffraction techniques (X rays, neutrons, electrons) give
information about the structure of complex compounds such
as ion-ligand bond distance and coordination number of ionligand complex, while the NMR provides information on the
nature of dynamics known as residence time of the average
ligand in the solvation layer. NMR technique provide the
solvation number (if ion strongly bound to the ligand), but

NMR technique can not follow the process of fast ligand
exchange [4]. It also can not detect the dynamics of
condensation occurring in unit time under a 10-9 second.
Similar situation for a femtosecond (10-15 second) laser pulse
spectroscopy which can not describe accurately the nature of
the dynamics of the solution. This information indicates that
the way the experiment has the weakness in the detection limit
the movement of molecules in solution. This experimental
weaknesses can be solved by computer simulation [5].
This research is using quantum mechanical/molecular
mechanical mechanics dynamics (QM/MM MD) method. This
method was chosen because it takes relatively quick and fairly
accurate results, provides the proper basis set is used and
involves many body potential.
Electron configuration of scandium (Sc) in the ground state
is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d1 4s2. Sc+ initial electron configuration
(low spin/triplet) is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d1 4s1 whereas highspin configuration of Sc+ (singlet) is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d2
4s0.

and NH3.
Simulation protocol
The simulations were performed for one Sc+ and 215
ammonia molecules in a cubic box, at 235.16 K, which
corresponds to the experimental density of 0.690 g/cm3.
Periodic boundary conditions were applied to the simulation
box and the temperature was kept constant by the Berendsen
algorithm [8]. A flexible ammonia model which includes an
intramolecular term was used [7]. Accordingly, the time step
of the simulation was set to 0.2 fs, which allows for explicit
movement of hydrogens. A cut-off of 12.0 Å was set except
for N–H and H–H non-Coulombic interactions for which it
was set to 6.0 and 5.0 Å .

Selection of the best basis set
From several basis pairs that have tested the set of the
basis set that does not cause a significant change in the charge
of ion scandium (Sc) and has a profile curve of binding energy
of Sc-N distance in accordance with the profile curve of
Lennard-Jones potential. From the results obtained by the set
of the basis set selection Lanl2dz ecp for scandium atoms and
DZP for the atoms of hydrogen and nitrogen.
Preparation of Sc-NH3 pair potential
In preparation of the pair potential equation, it takes
Sc-NH3 energy points at various distances Sc against NH3 and
at various angles theta (θ) and phi (Φ.). The points of this
energy is used to construct pair potential functions.
Pair potential function for Sc-NH3 interaction has been
formulated through the calculation of ab initio methods at the
Restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) for scandium singlet ion (sc+).
The minimum energy system ( E 2b ) between Sc and

NH3 is calculated by reduction of Sc-NH3 complex energy
with the energy of the respective monomers

E Sc  and E NH 3

E 2b  E Sc   NH  E Sc   E NH 3

in mathematical form is:

(1)
Data points of energy at various angles theta and phi are
obtained, then further processed by fitting two bodies. Fitting
the energy conducted to obtain some form of mathematical
equations that represent functions that energy with the
algorithm. The algorithm used in the preparation of analytical
potential functions with the least square method of LavenbergMarguart. Potential equation form two bodies Sc+-NH3 is as
follows:

Figure 1. Curve of pair potential function for Sc-NH3 with
the basis set LANL2DZ –DZP
Simulation QM/MM MD
A classical molecular dynamics simulation was carried out
for 100 ps using the pair potential function. The subsequent
QM/MM simulation was performed for 10 ps after 20 ps of reequilibration. The ab initio HF formalism with the same basis
sets used for the potential construction was applied to the ion
and the full first solvation shell, and for the remaining MM
region the same 2-body potential as in the classical simulation
was used. According to the Sc–N RDF of the classical
simulation, the QM radius had to be set to 3.2 Å in order to
include the full first solvation shell. A smoothing function was
applied to the transition region between QM and MM regions
[8]. The force of the system, Fsystem, is defined as
Fsystem = FMM + S(FQM - FQM/MM)

(4)

where FMM is the MM force of the full system, FQM the QM
force in the QM region and FQM/MM the MM force in the QM
region. S denotes the smoothing function. Free migration of
ligands between QM and MM region is enabled in this
approach

III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

A.

Radial Distribution Functions
Radial distribution function (RDF) is distance
distribution function of Sc-NH3. RDF of the Sc-N, Sc-H and
the number of its integration obtained from QM/MM MD
simulations are shown in Figures 2 and some characteristic
value are listed in table 2 and table 3. Figure 1 shows the first
shell solvation Sc+ by liquid ammonia is represented by the
first peak of RDF Sc-N 2.197Å centered.

C16-3
of Sc+-N occurred at distances shorter than the first peak of
Sc+-H RDF. This phenomenon indicates that the solvation in
the first shell has a fixed structure with nitrogen atoms leads to
the ions Sc+, while the hydrogen atoms away from Sc+.

B. Coordination Number Distribution
Based on the analysis of the coordination number or the
number of ligands that surround the central atom in both
solvation first shell and second solvation on the shell as well
as the percentage likelihood that there could be analyzed based
on information obtained from the CND. Distribution of
coordination number for Sc+-NH3 system is shown in Figure 3.
In the first shell solvation solvation numbers indicate the
number 6 with an abundance of 90,66% while in the second
shell solvation show number ~16 with the accuration of
21,30%

Figure 2. Sc-N and Sc-H radial distribution function
In figure 2 shows that at a distance of 2.95 peak of
RDF Sc+-H reaches a maximum value of the first and was
down to a minimum value at a distance of 3.45 Å. This peak
shows the first shell solvation of the H atoms of the molecule
NH3. RDF integration numbers Sc+-H in the first solvation
shell amounted to 6. The second peak occurs in Sc+-H distance
of 5.32 Å and reaches a minimum at a distance of 6.44 Å.
RDF integration Numbers Sc+-H in the second solvation shell
amounted to ~16.
RDF integration Numbers Sc+-H well in the first solvation
shell or the shell the second solvation according to the RDF
Sc-N. RDF peak of Sc+-H both in the form of ramps (not
sharply) suggests that the second shell solvation structure can
not be determined precisely.

C. Angular Distribution Functions
Analysis of solvation structure of Sc+-NH3 is done by
evaluating the angle distribution function (ADF) as result of
MM/MD simulation. ADF gives information about the
distribution of bond angle formed between the N-Sc+-N. From
the angle distribution of N-Sc-N (figure 4) shows a dominant
peak at an angle of 85o distance of 2.197 Å. This indicates
that the simulation of Sc+ in liquid ammonia show the
existence of complexes with a non rigid shape.

Distance N and H of Sc+ based RDF simulation results in
the first solvation shell is 2.197Å and 2.95 Å. This distance
difference indicates that the first peak of RDF Sc+-N do not
overlap with the first peak of Sc+-H RDF and RDF first peak

IV. CONCLUSION
QM/MM MD simulation methods is used to study the
solvation structure of Sc+ ions in liquid ammonia, in order to
produce information about the solvation structure of Sc+ ions
in liquid ammonia binds six (6) liquid ammonia molecule. The
distance between Sc+ with the N of NH3 molecules in first
solvation shell is 2.197 Å. Greatest probability for finding N
in the second solvation shell is at a distance of 5.5 Å, with a
number of integration in the second solvation shell amounted
to ~ 16.
