Reactive Coarse Grained Force Field for Metal-Organic Frameworks applied to Modeling ZIF-8 Self-Assembly

Sangita Mondal, Cecilia M. S. Alvares, Rocio Semino

Decoding the self-assembly mechanism of metal-organic frameworks is a crucial step in reducing trial-and-error tests in their synthesis protocols. Atomistic simulations have proven…

Force Matching and Iterative Boltzmann Inversion Coarse Grained Force Fields for ZIF-8

Cecilia M. S. Alvares, Rocio Semino

Despite the intense activity at the electronic and atomistic resolutions, coarse grained (CG) modeling of MOFs remains largely unexplored. One of the main reasons for this is the l…
