Abstract
We modeled the uptake of water molecules into the nanopores of potassium-polyheptazineimide (K-PHI), a 2D covalent material that is one of the best water-splitting photocatalysts to date possessing experimentally reported strong water binding. In the current models, we find that first water molecules are bound with -94.5 kJ/mol, i.e., twice the cohesion energy of water and one of the highest adsorption enthalpies reported so far. This strong binding proceeds unexpectedly on a similar enthalpy level until the pore is filled, while the binding strength is passed through a conjugated water network. The tight binding is also expressed in calculated, strongly shortened O-O distances, which are on average about 5% shorter than in bulk water, which corresponds to a much higher water density, for a 2D structure above 1.1 g/ cm3. The H-bridges are strongly aligned in the direction perpendicular to the covalent planes, which could give reasons for the experimentally observed ultrahigh ion fluxes and conductivity of K-PHI membranes. Decomposition of the adsorption energy into components reveals an unexpectedly high charge transfer contribution, where the partly naked K+ ions play a key role. The latter fact not only offers a new structural lead motif for the design of more strongly, but reversibly binding adsorption materials involving metal ions on their surface but also puts cations as known cofactors in enzymes into a new light.

Abstract
In recent years, tremendous advancements have been made in various technologies such as far-infrared, low-frequency Raman, and two-dimensional (2D) Raman terahertz (THz) spectroscopies. A coherent method has emerged from numerous experimental and theoretical investigations of molecular dynamics in liquids by comparing linear and non-linear spectroscopic techniques. Intermolecular hydrogen bond vibration, molecular reorientation motion, and interaction between molecule/ionic solute and hydrogen bonds have been demonstrated to occur in the THz region, which are closely related to their physical/chemical properties and structural dynamics. However, precise probing of various modes of motion is difficult because of the complexity of the collective and cooperative motion of molecules and spectral overlap of related modes. With the development of THz science and technology, current state-of-the-art THz sources can generate pulsed electric fields with peak intensities of the order of microvolts per centimeter (MV/cm). Such strong fields enable the use of THz waves as the light source for non-linear polarization of the medium and in turn leads to the development of the emerging THz Kerr effect (TKE) technique. Many low-frequency molecular motions, such as the collective directional motion of molecules and cooperative motion under the constraint of weak intermolecular interactions, are resonantly excited by an intense THz electric field. Thus, the TKE technique provides an interesting prospect for investigating low-frequency dynamics of different media. In view of this, this paper first summarizes the research work on TKE spectroscopy by taking a solid material without low-frequency molecular motions as an example. Starting from the principle of TKE technology and its application in investigating the properties of solid matter, we have explored the low-frequency molecular dynamics of liquid water and aqueous solutions using TKE. Liquid water is a core of life and possesses many extraordinary physical and biochemical properties. The hydrogen bond network plays a crucial role in these properties and is the main reason for its various kinetic and thermodynamic properties, which differ from those of other liquids. However, the structure of the hydrogen bond network between water and solutes is not well known. Therefore, evaluating the hydrogen bond-related kinetic properties of liquid water is important.

Abstract
In this work, we extend the applicability of standard Kohn-Sham DFT (KS-DFT) to model realistically sized molecule-metal interfaces where the metal slabs venture into the tens of nanometers in size. Employing state-of-the-art noninteracting kinetic energy functionals, we describe metallic subsystems with orbital-free DFT and combine their electronic structure with molecular subsystems computed at the KS-DFT level resulting in a multiscale subsystem DFT method. The method reproduces within a few millielectronvolts the binding energy difference of water and carbon dioxide molecules adsorbed on the top and hollow sites of an Al(111) surface compared to KS-DFT of the combined supersystem. It is also robust for Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulations. Very large system sizes are approached with standard computing resources thanks to a parallelization scheme that avoids accumulation of memory at the gather-scatter stage. The results as presented are encouraging and open the door to ab initio simulations of realistically sized, mesoscopic molecule-metal interfaces.

Abstract
The solvation of ions changes the physical, chemical and thermodynamic properties of water, and the microscopic origin of this behaviour is believed to be ion-induced perturbation of water's hydrogen-bonding network. Here we provide microscopic insights into this process by monitoring the dissipation of energy in salt solutions using time-resolved terahertz-Raman spectroscopy. We resonantly drive the low-frequency rotational dynamics of water molecules using intense terahertz pulses and probe the Raman response of their intermolecular translational motions. We find that the intermolecular rotational-to-translational energy transfer is enhanced by highly charged cations and is drastically reduced by highly charged anions, scaling with the ion surface charge density and ion concentration. Our molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the water-water hydrogen-bond strength between the first and second solvation shells of cations increases, while it decreases around anions. The opposite effects of cations and anions on the intermolecular interactions of water resemble the effects of ions on the stabilization and denaturation of proteins.

Abstract
In this review, we report recent progress in the field of supercooled water. Due to its uniqueness, water presents numerous anomalies with respect to most simple liquids, showing polyamorphism both in the liquid and in the glassy state. We first describe the thermodynamic scenarios hypothesized for the supercooled region and in particular among them the liquid-liquid critical point scenario that has so far received more experimental evidence. We then review the most recent structural indicators, the two-state model picture of water, and the importance of cooperative effects related to the fact that water is a hydrogen-bonded network liquid. We show throughout the review that water's peculiar properties come into play also when water is in solution, confined, and close to biological molecules. Concerning dynamics, upon mild supercooling water behaves as a fragile glass former following the mode coupling theory, and it turns into a strong glass former upon further cooling. Connections between the slow dynamics and the thermodynamics are discussed. The translational relaxation times of density fluctuations show in fact the fragile-to-strong crossover connected to the thermodynamics arising from the existence of two liquids. When considering also rotations, additional crossovers come to play. Mobility-viscosity decoupling is also discussed in supercooled water and aqueous solutions. Finally, the polyamorphism of glassy water is considered through experimental and simulation results both in bulk and in salty aqueous solutions. Grains and grain boundaries are also discussed.

Abstract
Vibrational sum-frequency generation (vSFG) spectroscopy allows the study of the structure and dynamics of interfacial systems. In the present work, we provide a simple recipe, based on a narrowband IR pump and broadband vSFG probe technique, to computationally obtain the two-dimensional vSFG spectrum of water molecules at the air-water interface. Using this technique, to study the time-dependent spectral evolution of hydrogen-bonded and free water molecules, we demonstrate that at the interface, the vibrational spectral dynamics of the free OH bond is faster than that of the bonded OH mode.

Abstract
CP2K is an open source electronic structure and molecular dynamics software package to perform atomistic simulations of solid-state, liquid, molecular, and biological systems. It is especially aimed at massively parallel and linear-scaling electronic structure methods and state-of-the-art ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. Excellent performance for electronic structure calculations is achieved using novel algorithms implemented for modern high-performance computing systems. This review revisits the main capabilities of CP2K to perform efficient and accurate electronic structure simulations. The emphasis is put on density functional theory and multiple post-Hartree-Fock methods using the Gaussian and plane wave approach and its augmented all-electron extension.

Abstract
In this work, second-generation Car-Parrinello-based mixed quantum-classical mechanics molecular dynamics simulations of small nanoparticles of NbP, NbAs, TaAs, and 1T-TaS2 in water are presented. The first three materials are topological Weyl semimetals, which were recently discovered to be active catalysts in photocatalytic water splitting. The aim of this research was to correlate potential differences in the water structure in the vicinity of the nanoparticle surface with the photocatalytic activity of these materials in light induced proton reduction. The results presented herein allow explaining the catalytic activity of these Weyl semimetals: the most active material, NbP, exhibits a particularly low water coordination near the surface of the nanoparticle, whereas for 1T-TaS2, with the lowest catalytic activity, the water structure at the surface is most ordered. In addition, the photocatalytic activity of several organic and metalorganic photosensitizers in the hydrogen evolution reaction was experimentally investigated with NbP as the proton reduction catalyst. Unexpectedly, the charge of the photosensitizer plays a decisive role for the photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
The potassium salt of polyheptazine imide (K-PHI) is a promising photocatalyst for various chemical reactions. From powder X-ray diffraction data an idealized structural model of K-PHI has been derived. Using atomic coordinates of this model we defined an energetically optimized K-PHI structure, in which the K ions are present in the pore and between the PHI-planes. The distance between the anion framework and K+ resembles a frustrated Lewis pair-like structure, which we denote as frustrated Coulomb pair that results in an interesting adsorption environment for otherwise non-adsorbing, non-polar gas molecules. We demonstrate that even helium (He) gas molecules, which are known to have the lowest boiling point and the lowest intermolecular interactions, can be adsorbed in this polarized environment with an adsorption energy of - 4.6 kJ mol-1 per He atom. The interaction between He atoms and K-PHI is partially originating from charge transfer, as disclosed by our energy decomposition analysis based on absolutely localized molecular orbitals. Due to very small charge transfer interactions, He gas adsorption saturates at 8 at%, which however can be subject to further improvement by cation variation.

Abstract
Abstract
Vibrational sum-frequency generation spectroscopy is a powerful method to study the microscopic structure and dynamics of interfacial systems. Here we demonstrate a simple computational approach to calculate the time-dependent, frequency-resolved vibrational sum-frequency generation spectrum (TD-vSFG) of the air-water interface. Using this approach, we show that at the air-water interface, the transition of water molecules with bonded OH modes to free OH modes occurs at a time scale of $$\sim$$
~
3 ps, whereas water molecules with free OH modes rapidly make a transition to a hydrogen-bonded state within $$\sim$$
~
2 ps. Furthermore, we also elucidate the origin of the observed differential dynamics based on the time-dependent evolution of water molecules in the different local solvent environments.

Abstract
Condensed phase electron decomposition analysis based on density functional theory has recently revealed an asymmetry in the hydrogen-bond network in liquid water, in the sense that a significant population of water molecules are simultaneously donating and accepting one strong hydrogen-bond and another substantially weaker one. Here we investigate this asymmetry, as well as broader structural and energetic features of water's hydrogen-bond network, following the application of an intense electric field square pulse that invokes the ultrafast reorientation of water molecules. We find that the necessary field-strength required to invoke an ultrafast alignment in a picosecond time window is on the order of 108 Vm-1. The resulting orientational anisotropy imposes an experimentally measurable signature on the structure and dynamics of the hydrogen-bond network, including its asymmetry, which is strongly enhanced. The dependence of the molecular reorientation dynamics on the field-strength can be understood by relating the magnitude of the water dipole-field interaction to the rotational kinetic energy, as well as the hydrogen-bond energy.

Abstract
Water confined in nanomaterials demonstrates anomalous behavior. Recent experiments and simulations have established that room-temperature water inside carbon nanotubes and between graphene layers behaves as solid ice: its molecules form four hydrogen bonds in a highly organized network with long-range order and exhibit low mobility. Here, we applied a first-principle energy decomposition analysis to reveal that the strength and patterns of donor-acceptor interactions between molecules in these low-dimensional ice structures resemble those in bulk liquid water rather than those in hexagonal ice. A correlation analysis shows that this phenomenon originates from a variety of hydrogen-bond distortions, different in 1D and 2D ice, from the tetrahedral configuration due to constraints imposed by nanomaterials. We discuss the implications of the reported interplay between the electronic and geometric structure of hydrogen bonds in "room-temperature ice" for computer modeling of confined water using traditional force fields.

Abstract
In the present work, we introduce two new metrics i.e. hydrogen-bond strength and charge-transfer between the donor/acceptor water molecules as a measure of hydrogen-bond rearrangement dynamics. Further, we also employ a simple model based on energy flux through the donor-acceptor water pairs to quantify the extent of the local hydrogen-bond network reorganization. Most importantly, we report a linear relationship between the OH stretch frequency and the charge and energy transfer through donor-acceptor water pairs. We demonstrate that the vibrational frequency fluctuations, which are used to determine third-order non-linear spectroscopic observables like the short-time slope of three pulse photon echo, can be used as an analog of the fluctuations in the hydrogen-bond strength and charge-transfer. The timescales obtained from our hydrogen-bond strength correlation and charge-transfer correlation decay are in excellent agreement with the computed frequency-time correlation function, as well as with recent vibrational echo experiments.

Abstract
Today's quantum chemistry methods are extremely powerful but rely upon complex quantities such as the massively multidimensional wavefunction or even the simpler electron density. Consequently, chemical insight and a chemist's intuition are often lost in this complexity leaving the results obtained difficult to rationalize. To handle this overabundance of information, computational chemists have developed tools and methodologies that assist in composing a more intuitive picture that permits better understanding of the intricacies of chemical behavior. In particular, the fundamental comprehension of phenomena governed by non-covalent interactions is not easily achieved in terms of either the total wavefunction or the total electron density, but can be accomplished using more informative quantities. This perspective provides an overview of these tools and methods that have been specifically developed or used to analyze, identify, quantify, and visualize non-covalent interactions. These include the quantitative energy decomposition analysis schemes and the more qualitative class of approaches such as the Non-covalent Interaction index, the Density Overlap Region Indicator, or quantum theory of atoms in molecules. Aside from the enhanced knowledge gained from these schemes, their strengths, limitations, as well as a roadmap for expanding their capabilities are emphasized.

Abstract
Based on quantum-mechanical path-integral molecular dynamics simulations, the impact of nuclear quantum effects on the vibrational and hydrogen bond dynamics in liquid water is investigated. The instantaneous fluctuations in the frequencies of the O-H stretch modes are calculated using the wavelet method of time-series analysis, while the time scales of the vibrational spectral diffusion are determined from frequency-time correlation functions, joint probability distributions, and the slope of three-pulse photon echo. We find that the inclusion of nuclear quantum effects leads not only to a redshift of the vibrational frequency distribution by around 130 cm-1 but also to an acceleration of the vibrational dynamics by as much as 30%. In addition, quantum fluctuations also entail a significantly faster decay of correlation in the initial diffusive regime, which is in agreement with recent vibrational echo experiments.

Abstract
A numerically efficient yet highly accurate implementation of the crystal orbital Hamilton population (COHP) scheme for plane-wave calculations is presented. It is based on the projector-augmented wave (PAW) formalism in combination with norm-conserving pseudopotentials and allows to extract chemical interactions between atoms from band-structure calculations even for large and complex systems. The potential of the present COHP implementation is demonstrated by an in-depth analysis of the intensively investigated metal-insulator transition in atomic-scale indium wires self-assembled on the Si(111) surface. Thereby bond formation between In atoms of adjacent zigzag chains is found to be instrumental for the phase change. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Molecular simulations are powerful tools for providing atomic-level details into complex chemical and physical processes that occur in the condensed phase. For strongly interacting systems where quantum many-body effects are known to play an important role, density-functional methods are often used to provide the model with the potential energy used to drive dynamics. These methods, however, suffer from two major drawbacks. First, they are often too computationally intensive to practically apply to large systems over long time scales, limiting their scope of application. Second, there remain challenges for these models to obtain the necessary level of accuracy for weak non-bonded interactions to obtain quantitative accuracy for a wide range of condensed phase properties. Quantum mechanical force fields (QMFFs) provide a potential solution to both of these limitations. In this review, we address recent advances in the development of QMFFs for condensed phase simulations. In particular, we examine the development of QMFF models using both approximate and ab initio density-functional models, the treatment of short-ranged non-bonded and long-ranged electrostatic interactions, and stability issues in molecular dynamics calculations. Example calculations are provided for crystalline systems, liquid water, and ionic liquids. We conclude with a perspective for emerging challenges and future research directions.

Abstract
A self-consistent scheme combining the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and density functional theory (DFT) was recently proposed to incorporate the effects of the charge transfer and polarization of ions into non-poralizable force fields of ionic liquids for improved description of energetics and dynamics. The purpose of the present work is to analyze the detailed setups of the MD/DFT scheme by focusing on how the basis set, exchange-correlation (XC) functional, charge-fitting method or force field for the intramolecular and Lennard-Jones interactions affects the MD/DFT results of 1,3-dimethylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ( [C1mim][NTf2]) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium glycinate ( [C2mim][Gly]). It was found that the double-zeta valence polarized or larger size of basis set is required for the convergence of the effective charge of the ion. The choice of the XC functional was further not influential as far as the generalized gradient approximation is used. The charge-fitting method and force field govern the accuracy of the MD/DFT scheme, on the other hand. We examined the charge-fitting methods of Blöchl, the iterative Hirshfeld (Hirshfeld-I), and REPEAT in combination with Lopes et al.'s force field and general AMBER force field. There is no single combination of charge fitting and force field that provides good agreements with the experiments, while the MD/DFT scheme reduces the effective charges of the ions and leads to better description of energetics and dynamics compared to the original force field with unit charges. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
We carried out extensive calculations of liquid water at different temperatures and pressures using the BK3 model suggested recently [P. T. Kiss and A. Baranyai, J. Chem. Phys. 138, 204507 (2013)]. In particular, we were interested in undercooled regions to observe the propensity of water to form tetrahedral coordination of closest neighbors around a central molecule. We compared the found tetrahedral order with the number of hydrogen bonds and with the partial pair correlation functions unfolded as distributions of the closest, the second closest, etc. neighbors. We found that contrary to the number of hydrogen bonds, tetrahedrality changes substantially with state variables. Not only the number of tetrahedral arrangements increases with lowering the pressure, the density, and the temperature but the domain size of connecting tetrahedral structures as well. The difference in tetrahedrality is very pronounced between the two sides of the Widom line and even more so between the low density amorphous (LDA) and high density amorphous (HDA) phases. We observed that in liquid water and in HDA, the 5th water molecule, contrary to ice and LDA, is positioned between the first and the second coordination shell. We found no convincing evidence of structural heterogeneity or regions referring to structural transition.

Abstract
Here we present an overview of recent developments of X-ray and electron spectroscopy to probe water at different temperatures. Photon-induced ionization followed by detection of electrons from either the O 1s level or the valence band is the basis of photoelectron spectroscopy. Excitation between the O 1s and the unoccupied states or occupied states is utilized in X-ray absorption and X-ray emission spectroscopies. These techniques probe the electronic structure of the liquid phase and show sensitivity to the local hydrogen-bonding structure. Both experimental aspects related to the measurements and theoretical simulations to assist in the interpretation are discussed in detail. Different model systems are presented such as the different bulk phases of ice and various adsorbed monolayer structures on metal surfaces.

Abstract
The interfaces of neat water and aqueous solutions play a prominent role in many technological processes and in the environment. Examples of aqueous interfaces are ultrathin water films that cover most hydrophilic surfaces under ambient relative humidities, the liquid/solid interface which drives many electrochemical reactions, and the liquid/vapor interface, which governs the uptake and release of trace gases by the oceans and cloud droplets. In this article we review some of the recent experimental and theoretical advances in our knowledge of the properties of aqueous interfaces and discuss open questions and gaps in our understanding.

Abstract
We present a simple and accurate computational method which facilitates ab initio path-integral molecular dynamics simulations, where the quantum-mechanical nature of the nuclei is explicitly taken into account, at essentially no additional computational cost in comparison to the corresponding calculation using classical nuclei. The predictive power of the proposed quantum ring-polymer contraction method is demonstrated by computing various static and dynamic properties of liquid water at ambient conditions using density functional theory. This development will enable routine inclusion of nuclear quantum effects in ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of condensed-phase systems.

Abstract
Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations of over 4.5 ns were performed in the temperature range of T = 260-350 K with van der Waals corrections to investigate the relationship between local water density and tetrahedral order in bulk water and in the presence of a hydrophobe, tetramethylurea (TMU). We demonstrate that in bulk water, defects consisting of 5- and higher coordinated water are a major contributor to dynamics. Close to a hydrophobe, 3-coordinated defects take over. The co-existence of these defects gives rise to very different local densities. We propose that the slowing down of rotational motion close to a hydrophobe is induced by an interplay between density and order with the slowing down decreasing in the following order: (i) low-density ordered-water, (ii) normal-density ordered-water, (iii) high-density ordered-water and (iv) disordered-water. The proportions of these water environments vary with temperature. These local environments also support the idea of water's polymorphism, i.e., the existence of the high- and low-density states in supercooled water.

Abstract
The concept of covalency is widely used to describe the nature of intermolecular bonds, to explain their spectroscopic features and to rationalize their chemical behaviour. Unfortunately, the degree of covalency of an intermolecular bond cannot be directly measured in an experiment. Here we established a simple quantitative relationship between the calculated covalency of hydrogen bonds in liquid water and the anisotropy of the proton magnetic shielding tensor that can be measured experimentally. This relationship enabled us to quantify the degree of covalency of hydrogen bonds in liquid water using the experimentally measured anisotropy. We estimated that the amount of electron density transferred between molecules is on the order of 10 m while the stabilization energy due to this charge transfer is ∼15 kJ mol−1. The physical insight into the fundamental nature of hydrogen bonding provided in this work will facilitate new studies of intermolecular bonding in a variety of molecular systems. Covalency is a fundamental concept in chemical bonding, but experimentally it is not possible to measure the degree of covalency of a particular bond. Here, the authors report a model to link the covalency of hydrogen bonds in water with the anisotropy of the magnetic shielding tensor in the proton NMR.

Abstract
The interpretation of the X-ray spectra of water as evidence for its asymmetric structure has challenged the traditional nearly tetrahedral model and initiated an intense debate about the order and symmetry of the hydrogen-bond network in water. Here, we present new insights into the nature of local interactions in ice and liquid water obtained using a first-principle energy decomposition method. A comparative analysis shows that the majority of molecules in liquid water in our simulation exhibit hydrogen-bonding energy patterns similar to those in ice and retain the four-fold coordination with only moderately distorted tetrahedral configurations. Although this result indicates that the traditional description of liquid water is fundamentally correct, our study also demonstrates that for a significant fraction of molecules the hydrogen-bonding environments are highly asymmetric with extremely weak and distorted bonds.
