Hi and thanks for sharing,

as pointed out earlier in this list, there is a published force field for ILs to be used in gromacs. Maybe that would be a good starting point for you, too. If I remember correct, they did not have the same ions, but they had the most common ones.

I am not going to do any simulations with ILs, I'm just curious to see the development around ILs.

Regards,

Sampo

Sorry for late respond~
I totally agree with you.
Frankly, I don't have any idea about that kind of idea.
I just help the guy to do what he want to do.
Anyhow, as Mark said, I think some experiment is required to get a meaningful result.

First I warn you that this is not a good approach at all.
He want to simulate [EtNH3]+ [NO3]-.
I think that the structure of the is relatively simple and thus made their structure with WebMO(Gaussian).
Then to get the groamcs topology, I use PRODRG server.
The partial charge of them are corrected to same as Gaussian result.

Then I placed them in a lattice with a same interval.
And run MD simulation with only solvent.
By doing this I can get a solvent coordinate in a box.

Using this solvent coordinate and topology, you can run MD.
But PRODRG does not give an accurate information and thus be careful.

Good luck

    Hi,

    nice to hear that someone else is also interested in doing MD in room
    temperature ionic liquids. What kind of ions do you use? Bmim chlorides
    perhaps, or do you have a larger counterion to bmim? Or a completely
    different cation? As Mark pointed out, if you do not have a properly
    parameterised  force field for ILs, the results probably are not
    reliable, but I still would like to hear how did you define the
    parameters and how the mdruns performed.

    Regards,

    Sampo
