$\mathcal {C}-$IBI: Targeting cumulative coordination within an iterative protocol to derive coarse-grained models of (multi-component) complex fluids

Abstract

We present a coarse-graining strategy that we test for aqueous mixtures. The method uses pair-wise cumulative coordination as a target function within an iterative Boltzmann inversion (IBI) like protocol. We name this method coordination iterative Boltzmann inversion (C\mathcal {C}-IBI). While the underlying coarse-grained model is still structure based and, thus, preserves pair-wise solution structure, our method also reproduces solvation thermodynamics of binary and/or ternary mixtures. Additionally, we observe much faster convergence within C\mathcal {C}-IBI compared to IBI. To validate the robustness, we apply C\mathcal {C}-IBI to study test cases of solvation thermodynamics of aqueous urea and a triglycine solvation in aqueous urea.
