| Issue Date: | 1-Jun-2013 |
| Publisher: | Sociedade Brasileira de Física |
| Description: | The importance of hydration on the equilibrium involving internal rotation around carbon-carbon single bond is investigated for the furfural molecule dissolved in water. To analyze the solvent effects in stabilizing any preferred conformation of furfural, we perform Monte Carlo (MC) NPT simulations corresponding to different rotation angles of the carbonyl group. The hydrogen bonds formed between solute and solvent are also analyzed along the conformational equilibrium. They are found to be equivalent, both in number and in binding energy, for all rotation angles. These results give a strong evidence that the conformational stability and the rotation barrier of the furfural molecule in water relate to the bulk properties rater than solute-solvent hydrogen bonds. |
