We present CHAMPION: a software developed to automatically detect time-dependent bonds between atoms based on their dynamics, classify the local graph topology around them, and analyze the physicochemical properties of these topologies by statistical physics. In stark contrast to methodologies where bonds are detected based on static conditions such as cut-off distances, CHAMPION considers pairs of atoms to be bound only if they move together and act as a bound pair over time. Furthermore, the time-dependent global bond graph is possible to split into dynamically shifting connected components or subgraphs around a certain chemical motif and thereby allow the physicochemical properties of each such topology to be analyzed by statistical physics. Applicable to condensed matter and liquids in general, and electrolytes in particular, this allows both quantitative and qualitative descriptions of local structure, as well as dynamical processes such as speciation and diffusion. We present here a detailed overview of CHAMPION, including its underlying methodology, implementation and capabilities.

Glassy dynamics and charge transport are studied for the polymeric Ionic Liquid (PIL) poly(tris(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl)ammonium acryloxypropylsulfonate) (PAAPS) with varying molecular weight (9700, 44200, 51600 and 99500 g per mol) by Broadband Die
lectric Spectroscopy (BDS) in a wide frequency (0.01 - 10E7 Hz) and temperature range (100 - 400 K) and by DSC- and AC-chip calorimetry. The dielectric spectra are characterized by a superposition of (i) relaxation processes, (ii) charge transport and (iii) electrode polarization. The relaxation processes (i) are assigned to the dynamic glass transition and a secondary relaxation. Charge transport (ii) can be described by the random free-energy barrier model as worked out by Dyre et al.; the Barton-Namikawa-Nakajima (BNN) relationship is well fulfilled over more than 8 decades. Electrode polarization (iii) follows the characteristics as analyzed by Serghei et al.; with deviations on the low frequency side. The proportionality between the relaxation rate of the dynamic glass transition and the charge carrier hopping rate reflects the nature of charge transport as glass transition assisted hopping. Hereby, the PIL under study exposes the highest dc-conductivity values observed for this class of materials below 100 oC so far, and for the first time a conductivity increase by rising degree of polymerization. The comparison of the polymeric Ionic Liquids under study with others implies conclusions on the design of novel highly conductive PILs.
Room Temperature Ionic Liquids (RTILs) have attracted much of the attention of the scientific community in the past decade due the their novel and highly customizable properties. Nonetheless their high viscosities pose serious limitations to the use
of RTILs in practical applications. To elucidate some of the physical aspects behind transport properties of RTILs, extensive classical molecular dynamics (MD) calculations are reported. Bulk viscosities and ionic conductivities of butyl-methyl-imidazole based RTILs are presented over a wide range of temperatures. The dependence of the properties of the liquids on simulation parameters, e.g. system size effects and choice of the interaction potential, is analyzed.
Janus -- or two-sided, asymmetrical -- charged membranes offer promise as ionic current rectifiers. In such systems, pores consisting of two regions of opposite charge can be used to generate a current from a gradient in salinity. The efficiency of J
anus pores increases dramatically as their diameter becomes smaller. However, little is known about the underlying transport processes, both for water and ions, in Janus nanopores. In this work, the molecular basis for rectification in Janus nanopores is examined both at rest and in the presence of an applied electric field. By relying on detailed equilibrium and far-from-equilibrium simulations, using explicit models of water and ions, we analyse the structure and dynamics of all molecular species in solution, as well as the overall response of these asymmetric nanopore devices subject to a positive or negative bias, respectively. While there is no precedent for atomistic simulations of a functioning Janus pore, the calculations are able to reproduce key macroscopic experimental observations of asymmetric membranes, serving to establish the validity of the models adopted here. As opposed to the most popularly implemented continuum approaches, here a detailed view is presented of the molecular structures and characteristics that give rise to ionic rectification in such systems, including the local re-orientation of water in the pores and the segregation of ionic species. New insights for the technological development of practical nanofluidic devices are also presented on the basis of these findings.
The molecular dipole moment ($boldsymbol{mu}$) is a central quantity in chemistry. It is essential in predicting infrared and sum-frequency generation spectra, as well as induction and long-range electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, it can be ext
racted directly from high-level quantum mechanical calculations, making it an ideal target for machine learning (ML). In this work, we choose to represent this quantity with a physically inspired ML model that captures two distinct physical effects: local atomic polarization is captured within the symmetry-adapted Gaussian process regression (SA-GPR) framework, which assigns a (vector) dipole moment to each atom, while movement of charge across the entire molecule is captured by assigning a partial (scalar) charge to each atom. The resulting MuML models are fitted together to reproduce molecular $boldsymbol{mu}$ computed using high-level coupled-cluster theory (CCSD) and density functional theory (DFT) on the QM7b dataset. The combined model shows excellent transferability when applied to a showcase dataset of larger and more complex molecules, approaching the accuracy of DFT at a small fraction of the computational cost. We also demonstrate that the uncertainty in the predictions can be estimated reliably using a calibrated committee model. The ultimate performance of the models depends, however, on the details of the system at hand, with the scalar model being clearly superior when describing large molecules whose dipole is almost entirely generated by charge separation. These observations point to the importance of simultaneously accounting for the local and non-local effects that contribute to $boldsymbol{mu}$; further, they define a challenging task to benchmark future models, particularly those aimed at the description of condensed phases.
Steric hindered frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) have been shown to activate hydrogen molecules, and their reactivity is strongly determined by the geometric parameters of the Lewis acid s and bases. A recent experimental study showed that ionic liquids
(ILs) could largely improve the effective configuration of FLPs. However, the detailed mechanistic profile is still unclear. Herein, we performed a molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, aimi ng to reveal the effects of ILs on the structures of FLPs, and to present a rule for selecting more efficient reaction media. For this purpose, mixture systems were adopt consisting of the ILs [Cnmim][NTf2] (n= 6, 10, 14), and the typical FLP (tBu)3P/B(C6F5)3 . Radial distribution function (RDF) results show that toluene competes with (tBu)3P to interact with B(C6F5)3 , resulting in a relatively low effective (tBu)3P/B(C6F5)3 complex. [Cnmim][NTf2] is more intended to form a solvated shell surrounding the (tBu)3P/B(C6F5)3 , which increases the amount of effective FLPs. Spatial distribution function (SDF) results show that toluene formed a continuum solvation shell, which hinders the interactions of (tBu)3P and B(C6F5)3 , while [Cnmim][NTf2] leave a relatively large empty space, which is accessible by (tBu3)P molecules, resulting in a higher probability of Lewis acids and bases interactions. Lastly, we find that the longer alkyl chain length of[Cnmim] cations, the higher probability of effective FLPs.
