This paper presents the vacuum structures of aquacopper(II) bis(amino acid) complexes with glycine, sarcosine, N,N-dimethylglycine, and N-tert-butyl-N-methylglycine estimated using the B3LYP method. The differences between the B3LYP vacuum structures and experimental crystal structures suggested considerable influence of crystal lattice packing effects on the changes in the complexes' geometries. A previously developed molecular mechanics force field for modeling anhydrous copper(II) amino acidates was reoptimized to simulate these changes and predict the properties of both trans and cis anhydrous and aqua copper(II) amino acid complexes. The modeling included experimental molecular and crystal structures of 13 anhydrous and 10 aqua copper(II) amino acidates with the same atom types (Cu(II), C, H, N, and 0) but various copper(II) coordination polyhedron geometries, crystal symmetries, and intermolecular interactions. The empirical parameters of the selected potential energy functions were optimized on the B3LYP vacuum copper(II) coordination geometries of three anhydrous copper(II) amino acidates and on experimental crystalline internal coordinates and unit cell dimensions of six anhydrous and six aqua copper(II) amino acid complexes. The respective equilibrium structures were calculated in vacuo and in simulated crystalline environment. The efficacy of the final force field, FFW, was examined. The total root-mean-square deviations between the experimental and theoretical crystal values were 0.018 Angstrom in the bond lengths, 2.2degrees in the valence angles, 5.5degrees in the torsion angles, and 0.395 Angstrom in the unit cell lengths. FFW reproduced the unit cell volumes in the range from -8.1 to 9.6%. The means of Cu to axial water oxygen distances were 2.4 +/- 0.1 Angstrom (experiment) and 2.6 +/- 0.1 Angstrom (FFW). This paper describes the ability of the molecular mechanics model and FFW force field to simulate the flexibility of the metal coordination polyhedron. The new force field proved effective in predicting the most stable molecular conformation of copper(II) amino acidato systems in vacuo.
