Toward a universal water model: First principles simulations from the   dimer to the liquid phase
  A full-dimensional molecular model of water, HBB2-pol, derived entirely from first principles, is introduced and employed in computer simulations ranging from the dimer to the liquid. HBB2-pol provides excellent agreement with the measured second and third virial coefficients and, by construction, reproduces the dimer vibration-rotation tunneling spectrum. The model also predicts the relative energy differences between isomers of small water clusters within the accuracy of highly correlated electronic structure methods. Importantly, when combined with simulation methods that explicitly include zero-point energy and quantum thermal motion, HBB2-pol accurately describes both structural and dynamical properties of the liquid phase. The predictive power of the HBB2-pol quantum simulations opens the door to the long-sought molecular-level understanding of water under different conditions and in different environments.
