Challenges for Kinetics Predictions via Neural Network Potentials: A Wilkinson’s Catalyst Case
2023
Overview
Ab initio kinetic studies are important to understand and design novel chemical reactions. While the Artificial Force Induced Reaction (AFIR) method provides a convenient and efficient framework for kinetic studies, accurate explorations of reaction path networks incur high computational costs. In this article, we are investigating the applicability of Neural Network Potentials (NNP) to accelerate such studies. For this purpose, we are reporting a novel theoretical study of ethylene hydrogenation with a transition metal complex inspired by Wilkinson’s catalyst, using the AFIR method. The resulting reaction path network was analyzed by the Generative Topographic Mapping method. The network’s geometries were then used to train a state-of-the-art NNP model, to replace expensive ab initio calculations with fast NNP predictions during the search. This procedure was applied to run the first NNP-powered reaction path network exploration using the AFIR method. We discovered that such explorations are particularly challenging for general purpose NNP models, and we identified the underlying limitations. In addition, we are proposing to overcome these challenges by complementing NNP models with fast semiempirical predictions. The proposed solution offers a generally applicable framework, laying the foundations to further accelerate ab initio kinetic studies with Machine Learning Force Fields, and ultimately explore larger systems that are currently inaccessible.
