Input files and parameters / CB/CFC Monte Carlo Input File
Last post by hooman - April 11, 2025, 06:47:04 PM
Dear Prof. Dubbeldam, all,

I want to simulate adsorption in MOFs using CB/CFCMC ensemble, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it the right way.
I have done it with the following settings, but although the number of cycles are relatively large and I've done a similar simulation with GCMC, I still see points in the isotherm where the uptake is not consistently increasing with partial pressure and it's at points lower than CBGCMC uptake.

Thank you very much.

Dear Prof. Dubbeldam, all,

I'm simulating adsorption in a MOF model system using the GEMC ensemble in RASPA. I have several questions regarding the methodology and input file;

1- Should the properties of the reservoir box (size, number of molecules) change in accordance to the pressure point (P as in P/Psat) in the isotherm?
2- How do I fix the volume of the MOF simulation box and how would that translate in thermodynamic terms?
3- How should I choose the proper volume move probability?

Thank you very much.

Hello everyone,

I reviewed the RASPA simulation output and noticed that in the input block, the density and compressibility of water are reported as 848.3 kg/m³ and 0.0000257130, which are values for the liquid phase. Since we're simulating the adsorption of water vapor, how can I resolve this issue?

Thanks!

Hi Dear RASPA Community,

I am a beginner in using RASPA and currently working on GCMC simulations for water adsorption in a MOF. I'm trying to reproduce data from the literature, where the reported water uptake at maximum relative humidity (i.e., adsorption from air) is around 30 g/g. However, in my simulation, the uptake is significantly lower—close to zero.

I have reviewed my input files multiple times but haven't been able to identify the issue. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could take a look at my simulation setup and provide guidance.
My input files are attached. For reference, the attached files are described below:

File "perfect_charge.def": The CIF file of the MOF structure. Partial charges were obtained using charge equilibration in RASPA.

File "Tip4p": The water molecule definition file.

Thank you very much for your support!

Best regards,

Hii all,

Is GenericMOF FF safe for MOF simulations? I am not finding any citation for the force field. Is it the modified version of UFF/Dreiding? Can someone explain?

Yes, rigid molecules are supported. Also, per component you can block or allow certain regions for insertion/deletion.
