Characterization of adsorbed alkali metal ions in 2:1 type clay minerals from first-principles metadynamics

Ikeda, Takashi; Suzuki, Shinichi; Yaita, Tsuyoshi

Adsorption states of alkali metal ions in three kinds of 2:1 type clay minerals are systematically investigated via first-principles-based metadynamics. Our reconstructed free energy surfaces in a two dimensional space of coordination numbers specifically employed as collective variables for describing the interlayer cations show that an inner-sphere (IS) complex is preferentially formed for Cs$$^{+}$$ in the 2:1 type trioctahedral clay minerals with saponitelike compositions, where lighter alkali ions show a tendency to form an outer-sphere one instead. The strong preference for an IS complex observed for Cs$$^{+}$$ is found to result partially from the capability of recognizing selectively Cs$$^{+}$$ ions at basal O atoms with the Lewis basicity significantly enhanced by the isomorphic substitution in tetrahedral sheets.

Hydration structure of Y$$^{3+}$$ and La$$^{3+}$$ compared; An Application of metadynamics

Ikeda, Takashi; Hirata, Masaru; Kimura, Takaumi

Journal of Chemical Physics, 122(24), p.244507_1 - 244507_5, 2005/06

We studied the hydration structures of Y$$^{3+}$$ and La$$^{3+}$$ in aqueous solutions by applying the metadynamics method recently introduced as a tool to explore reaction pathways based on the Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics. By employing the metal-water oxygen coordination number as a collective variable of the metadynamics a couple of aqua and chloro-aqua complexes are successfully generated within the time scales of 10 ps. The reconstructed free energy surface captures the characteristics of the hydration of the light and heavy trivalent rare-earth ions. The present study demonstrates that the metadynamics based on the Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics is a promising tool for exploring the free energy surface of complicated systems such as solutions.
