It is demonstrated that semiempirical methods give electrostatic potential (ESP) derived atomic point charges that are in reasonable agreement with ab initio ESP charges. Furthermore, we find that MNDO ESP charges are superior to AM1 ESP charges in correlating with ESP charges derived from the 6-31G

An improved semiempirical method for computing electrostatic potential-derived atomic charges is described. It includes a very fast algorithm for the generation of the grid points around the molecule and the calculation of the electrostatic potential at these points. The dependency of the atomic poi
Atomic charges were calculated at ab initio level using different methods of charge determination to compare them and estimate their utility in the electronic description of heterocycles containing the SO moiety. Those procedures implemented on 2 w the Gaussian92 program were included Mulliken popul
A new algorithm for fitting atomic charges to molecular electrostatic potentials is presented. This method is non-iterative and rapid compared to previous work. Results from a variety of gaussian basis sets, including STO-3G, 3-21G and 6-31G*, are presented. Charges for a representative collection o
A novel method to calculate electrostatic charges is proposed. Partial charges are fitted to reproduce the electrostatic potential of a distributed multipole series without explicitly evaluating electrostatic potentials. The calculation is economical and results in charges reflecting the symmetry pr
