The +coordination number ($n_C$) and number of hydrogen bonds per particle +($n_H$) were calculated by integrating the following relations: +\begin{equation} +n_C = 4\pi\rho_{\text{OO}}\int_{0}^{a}r^2\text{g}_{\text{OO}}(r)dr, +\end{equation} +\begin{equation} +n_H = 4\pi\rho_{\text{OH}}\int_{0}^{b}r^2\text{g}_{\text{OH}}(r)dr, +\end{equation} +where $\rho$ is the number density of the specified pair interactions, +$a$ and $b$ are the radial locations of the minima following the first +peak in g$_\text{OO}(r)$ or g$_\text{OH}(r)$ respectively. The number +of hydrogen bonds stays relatively constant across all of the models, +but the coordination numbers of {\sc ssd/e} and {\sc ssd/rf} show an improvement +over {\sc ssd1}. This improvement is primarily due to extension of the +first solvation shell in the new parameter sets.

Since $n_H$ +and $n_C$ differ in the newly parameterized models, the orientations +in the first solvation shell are a bit more ``fluid''. Therefore {\sc ssd1} +overstructures the first solvation shell and our reparameterizations +have returned this shell to more realistic liquid-like behavior. -\begin{figure} -\includegraphics[width=85mm]{povIce.ps} -\caption{Crystal structure of an ice 0 lattice shown from the (001) face.} -\label{weirdice} -\end{figure} +The time constants for the orientational autocorrelation functions +are also displayed in Table \ref{liquidproperties}.

In all three water models, ice $I_c$ was observed to be -~2\% more dense than ice $I_h$. +While performing a series of melting simulations on an early iteration +of {\sc ssd/e} not discussed in this paper, we observed recrystallization +into a novel structure not previously known for water. After melting +at 235 K, two of five systems underwent crystallization events near +245 K. The two systems remained crystalline up to 320 and 330 K, +respectively. The crystal exhibits an expanded zeolite-like structure +that does not correspond to any known form of ice. This appears to be +an artifact of the point dipolar models, so to distinguish it from the +experimentally observed forms of ice, we have denoted the structure +Ice-$\sqrt{\smash[b]{-\text{I}}}$ (Ice-{\it i}). A large enough +portion of the sample crystallized that we have been able to obtain a +near ideal crystal structure of Ice-{\it i}. Figure \ref{weirdice} +shows the repeating crystal structure of a typical crystal at 5 +K. Each water molecule is hydrogen bonded to four others; however, the +hydrogen bonds are bent rather than perfectly straight. This results +in a skewed tetrahedral geometry about the central molecule. In +figure \ref{isosurface}, it is apparent that these flexed hydrogen +bonds are allowed due to the conical shape of the attractive regions, +with the greatest attraction along the direct hydrogen bond +configuration. Though not ideal, these flexed hydrogen bonds are +favorable enough to stabilize an entire crystal generated around them. -In addition to the low temperature comparisons, melting sequences were -performed with ice 0 as the initial configuration using SSD/E, SSD/RF, -and SSD both with and without a reaction field. The melting -transitions for both SSD/E and SSD without a reaction field occurred -at temperature in excess of 375 K. SSD/RF and SSD with a reaction -field had more reasonable melting transitions, down near 325 K. These -melting point observations emphasize how preferred this crystal -structure is over the most common types of ice when using these single -point water models. +Initial simulations indicated that Ice-{\it i} is the preferred ice +structure for at least the {\sc ssd/e} model. To verify this, a +comparison was made between near ideal crystals of ice~$I_h$, +ice~$I_c$, and Ice-{\it i} at constant pressure with {\sc ssd/e}, {\sc +ssd/rf}, and {\sc ssd1}. Near-ideal versions of the three types of +crystals were cooled to 1 K, and enthalpies of formation of each were +compared using all three water models. Enthalpies were estimated from +the isobaric-isothermal simulations using $H=U+P_{\text ext}V$ where +$P_{\text ext}$ is the applied pressure. A constant value of +-60.158 kcal / mol has been added to place our zero for the +enthalpies of formation for these systems at the traditional state +(elemental forms at standard temperature and pressure). With every +model in the {\sc ssd} family, Ice-{\it i} had the lowest calculated +enthalpy of formation. -Recognizing that the above tests show ice 0 to be both the most stable -and lowest density crystal structure for these single point water -models, it is interesting to speculate on the favorability of this -crystal structure with the different charge based models. As a quick -test, these 3 crystal types were converted from SSD type particles to -TIP3P waters and read into CHARMM.\cite{Karplus83} Identical energy -minimizations were performed on all of these crystals to compare the -system energies. Again, ice 0 was observed to have the lowest total -system energy. The total energy of ice 0 was ~2\% lower than ice -$I_h$, which was in turn ~3\% lower than ice $I_c$. From these initial -results, we would not be surprised if results from the other common -water models show ice 0 to be the lowest energy crystal structure. A -continuation on work studing ice 0 with multipoint water models will -be published in a coming article. +\begin{table} +\begin{center} +\caption{Enthalpies of Formation (in kcal / mol) of the three crystal +structures (at 1 K) exhibited by the {\sc ssd} family of water models} +\begin{tabular}{ l c c c } +\hline \\[-3mm] +\ \ \ Water Model \ \ \ & \ \ \ Ice-$I_h$ \ \ \ & \ Ice-$I_c$\ \ & \ +Ice-{\it i} \\ +\hline \\[-3mm] +\ \ \ {\sc ssd/e} & -12.286 & -12.292 & -13.590 \\ +\ \ \ {\sc ssd/rf} & -12.935 & -12.917 & -14.022 \\ +\ \ \ {\sc ssd1} & -12.496 & -12.411 & -13.417 \\ +\ \ \ {\sc ssd1} (RF) & -12.504 & -12.411 & -13.134 \\ +\end{tabular} +\label{iceenthalpy} +\end{center} +\end{table} +In addition to these energetic comparisons, melting simulations were +performed with ice-{\it i} as the initial configuration using {\sc ssd/e}, +{\sc ssd/rf}, and {\sc ssd1} both with and without a reaction field.

The constant pressure -simulations of the melting of both $I_h$ and $I_c$ ice showed a -density maximum near 260 K. In most cases, the calculated densities -were significantly lower than the densities calculated in simulations -of other water models. Analysis of particle diffusion showed SSD to -capture the transport properties of experimental very well in both the -normal and super-cooled liquid regimes. In order to correct the -density behavior, SSD was reparameterized for use both with and -without a long-range interaction correction, SSD/RF and SSD/E -respectively. In addition to correcting the abnormally low densities, -these new versions were show to maintain or improve upon the transport -and structural features of the original water model, all while -maintaining the fast performance of the SSD water model. This work -shows these simple water models, and in particular SSD/E and SSD/RF, -to be excellent choices to represent explicit water in future + +The density maximum and temperature dependence of the self-diffusion +constant were studied for the {\sc ssd} water model, both with and without +the use of reaction field, via a series of NPT and NVE +simulations. The constant pressure simulations showed a density +maximum near 260 K.

Both models improve the liquid structure, +densities, and diffusive properties under their respective simulation +conditions, indicating the necessity of reparameterization when +changing the method of calculating long-range electrostatic +interactions. In general, however, these simple water models are +excellent choices for representing explicit water in large scale simulations of biochemical systems. +The existence of a novel low-density ice structure that is preferred +by the {\sc ssd} family of water models is somewhat troubling, since liquid +simulations on this family of water models at room temperature are +effectively simulations of supercooled or metastable liquids. One +way to destabilize this unphysical ice structure would be to make the +range of angles preferred by the attractive part of the sticky +potential much narrower. This would require extensive +reparameterization to maintain the same level of agreement with the +experiments. + +Additionally, our initial calculations show that the Ice-{\it i} +structure may also be a preferred crystal structure for at least one +other popular multi-point water model (TIP3P), and that much of the +simulation work being done using this popular model could also be at +risk for crystallization into this unphysical structure. A future +publication will detail the relative stability of the known ice +structures for a wide range of popular water models. + \section{Acknowledgments} -The authors would like to thank the National Science Foundation for -funding under grant CHE-0134881.
