We present results of gas phase cluster and liquid water simulations from the recently determined VRT(ASP–W)III water dimer potential energy surface (the third fitting of the Anisotropic Site Potential with Woermer dispersion to vibration–rotation–tunnelling data). VRT(ASP–W)III is shown to not only be a model of high ‘spectroscopic’ accuracy for the water dimer, but also makes accurate predictions of vibrational ground–state properties for clusters up through the hexamer. Results of ambient liquid water simulations from VRT(ASP–W)III are compared with those from ab initio molecular dynamics, other potentials of ‘spectroscopic’ accuracy and with experiment. The results herein represent the first time to the authors' knowledge that a ‘spectroscopic’ potential surface is able to correctly model condensed phase properties of water.

The manuscript analyzes the accuracy of our recently developed reciprocal polarizable embedding scheme, where a density functional theory model of the QM region is coupled to a dipole- and quadrupole polarizable water potential of the MM region. We present calculations of water clusters and liquid water where we analyze the energy, atomic forces and total polarization to demonstrate that artifacts in energy and polarization introduced by the QM/MM coupling are small and well-behaved. Furthermore, our methodology improves the consistency of the structure of optimized water hexamer geometries when compared to results obtained with models that neglect polarization. Additionally, the manuscript provides evidence that our coupling scheme eliminates artifacts in the structure of liquid water obtained with simpler electrostatic embedding models.
