Examples

• To make a 3x3x3 units of a hydrogen-disordered ice IV (4) of TIP4P water in GROMACS .gro format:

    genice --water tip4p --rep 3 3 3  4 > ice4.gro
  

• To make a 2x2x4 units of CS2 clathrate hydrate structure of TIP4P water containing THF (united atom with a dummy site) in the large cage in GROMACS .gro format:

    genice -g 16=uathf6 --water tip4p --rep 2 2 4  CS2 > cs2-224.gro
  

Basics

The program generates various ice lattice with proton disorder and without defect. Total dipole moment is always set to zero (except the case you specify --nodep option). The minimal structure (with --rep 1 1 1 option) is not always the unit cell of the lattice because it is difficult to deal with the hydrogen bond network topology of tiny lattice under periodic boundary condition. Note that the generated structure is not optimal according to the potential energy.

• To get a large repetition of ice Ih in XYZ format,

    genice --rep 8 8 8 1h --format xyz > 1hx888.xyz
  

• To get a ice V lattice of different hydrogen order in CIF format, use -s option to specify the random seed.

    genice 5 -s 1024 --format cif > 5-1024.cif
  

• To obtain a ice VI lattice with different density and with TIP4P water model in gromacs format, use --dens x option to specify the density in g cm^-3.

    genice 6 --dens 1.00 --format g --water tip4p > 6d1.00.gro
  

GenIce is a modular program; it reads a unit cell data from a lattice plugin defined in the lattices folder, put water and guest molecules using a molecule plugin defined in the molecules/ folder, and output in various formats using a format plugin defined in the formats/ folder. You can write your own plugins to extend GenIce. Some plugins also accept options.

Clathrate hydrates

For clathrate hydrates, you can prepare the lattice with cages partially occupied by various guest molecules.

• To make a CS1 clathrate hydrate structure of TIP4P water containing CO2 in GROMACS .gro format: (60% of small cages are filled with co2 and 40% are methane)

    genice -g 12=co2*0.6+me*0.4 -g 14=co2 --water tip4p CS1 > cs1.gro
  

• To make a CS2 clathrate hydrate structure of TIP5P water containing THF molecules in the large cage, while only one cage is filled with methane molecule, first just run genice without guest specifications:

    genice CS2 > CS2.gro
  

  The list of cages will be output as follows:

    INFO   Cage types: ['12', '16']
    INFO   Cage type 12: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183}
    INFO   Cage type 16: {136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190, 191, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119}
  

  This indicates that there are two types of cages named 12 and 16. Fill the 16 cages with THF and put a methane molecule in the 0th cage of type 12 as follows:

    genice CS2 -g 16=uathf -G 0=me > CS2.gro
  

Although only a few kinds of guest molecules are preset, you can easily prepare new guest molecules as a module. Here is an example for the ethlene oxide molecule.

eo.py

import numpy as np
# United-atom EO model with a dummy site
LOC = 0.1436 # nm
LCC = 0.1472 # nm

Y = (LOC**2 - (LCC/2)**2)**0.5

sites = np.array([[ 0.,    0., 0. ],
                  [-LCC/2, Y,  0. ],
                  [+LCC/2, Y,  0. ],])

mass = np.array([16,14,14])
# center of mass
CoM = np.dot(mass, sites) / np.sum(mass)
sites -= CoM

atoms = ["O","C","C"]
labels = ["Oe","Ce","Ce"]
name = "EO"

Write the code in eo.py. Make a folder named molecules in the current working directory and put it in.

Note: multiple occupancy is not implemented. If it is required, make a module of a virtual molecule that contains multiple molecules.

Doping ions

Small ions may replace the host molecules. In that case, you can use -a and -c options to replace the specified water molecules with anions and cations.

The following example replaces the 0th water molecule (in the replicated lattice) with Na cation and 1st water molecule with Cl anion. The hydrogen bonds around the ions are organized appropriately.

genice CS2 --nodep -c 0=Na -a 1=Cl > CS2.gro

Note 1: The numbers of cations and anions must be the same. Otherwise, ice rule is never satisfied and the program does not stop.

Note 2: The option --nodep is also required because it is impossible to depolarize the structure containing ions.

Note 3: Protonic defects (H₃O⁺ and OH^-) are not yet implemented.

Semiclathrate hydrates

Placement of a tetrabutylammonium ion

Let us assume that the id of the water molecule to be replaced by nitrogen of the TBA as zero. Place the nitrogen as a cation and also replace the water 2 by the counterion Br.

genice HS1 -c 0=N -a 2=Br --nodep > HS1.gro

Then you will see the following info.

INFO   Hints:
INFO     Cage types: ['12', '14', '15']
INFO     Cage type 12: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103}

INFO     Cage type 15: {10, 11, 12, 13, 24, 25, 26, 27, 38, 39, 40, 41, 52, 53, 54, 55, 66, 67, 68, 69, 80, 81, 82, 83, 94, 95, 96, 97, 108, 109, 110, 111}
INFO     Cages adjacent to dopant 2: {9, 2, 28, 97}
INFO     Cages adjacent to dopant 0: {9, 2, 28, 7}

It indicates that the nitrogen is surrounded by cages with ids 9, 2, 28, and 7. Types for these cages can also be found in the info. Then, we put the Bu- group (minus does not mean ions) in these cages adjacent dopant 0.

genice HS1 -c 0=N -a 2=Br -H 9=Bu-:0 -H 2=Bu-:0 -H 28=Bu-:0 -H 7=Bu-:0 --nodep > HS1.gro

Here the option -H specifies the group by -H (cage id)=(group name):(root), and root is the nitrogen that is specified by -c (cation) option.

Placement of TBAB in the lattice module

Under preparation

It is more convenient if the lattice of the semiclathrate hydrate contains molecular ions in the appropriate locations in advance. Here we explain the way to make the special module for semclathrates.

AnalIce command

AnalIce is a variant of GenIce. AnalIce reads a Gromacs file and do not modify the molecular orientation or the hydrogen bond network topology. AnalIce is prepared to use it for structure analysis.

For example, if you want to see the ring statistic of a given .gro file, use like this:

analice input.gro -f _ringstat

If you want to replace water model from the original three-site one (described as OW, HW1, and HW2) to TIP4P-like four-site model, try

analice input.gro -O OW -H HW[12] -w tip4p 

All the output formats are also available for AnalIce.

More examples

Load every 10 frames from a set of .gro files and output ring statistics in separate files.

analice '%05d.gro' --framerange 0:1000000:10 -O OW -H HW[12] --format _ringstat -o '%04d.rstat'

You can prepare your own file formats. Create a folder named formats in the current working directory and put the plugins in it. GenIce 1.0 no longer refers the files in ~/.genice folder.

Internally, there are seven stages to generate an ice structure.

1. Cell repetition.
2. Random graph generation and replication.
3. Apply ice rule.
4. Depolarize.
5. Determine orientations of the water molecules.
6. Place atoms in water molecules.
7. Place atoms in guests.

In the format plugin, you define the hook functions that are invoked after processing each stage.

cif2ice is a tool to retrieve a cif file of zeolite from IZA structure database and prepare a lattice module in the path above.

Extra plugins

(New in v1.0)

Some extra plugins are available via python package index using pip command.

For example, you can install RDF plugin by the following command,

% pip install genice-rdf

And use it as an output format to get the radial distribution functions.

% genice TS1 -f _RDF > TS1.rdf.txt

Output and analysis plugins

Analysis plugin is a kind of output plugin (specified with -f option). They are useful with analice command.

pip name	GenIce option	Description	output format	requirements
