Abstract

Free energy sampling methods allow studying the full dynamics of activated processes. Unfortunately, the affordable accuracy of the potential describing the energy and forces of the system is usually rather low. Here we introduce a new method that by combining metadynamics and free energy perturbation allows calculating accurate quantum chemical free energies for chemical reactions. To prove the effectiveness of this new approach we study the S
