Abstract

We report a systematic comparison of the electrostatic contributions to the free energy of solvation from three different kinds of quantum mechanical self‐consistent reaction field (SCRF) methods. We also compare the liquid‐phase dipole moments as a measure of the solute's response to the reaction field of the solvent. In particular, we compare these quantities for the generalized Born model as implemented in the SM5.42R method, the multipolar expansion model developed at Nancy, and the MST version of the polarizable continuum model. All calculations are carried out at the HF/6‐31G(d) level. The effects of various choices of solute cavities and representations of the charge density are examined. The test set consists of 18 molecules containing prototypical polar groups, and three different values of the dielectric permittivity are considered. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this work, we examine several continuum models for estimating the free energy of solvation. We find statistically that the best overall one-parameter fit depends only on whether there is a hydrogen bond or not. Within the non-hydrogen-bonded set of molecules, a three-parameter fit including molec

A validation based on solvation energies (vacuum to water transfer) is not sufficient to justify the use of approximated models of electrostatics to rank ligand/protein complexes. A full validation should be based on energies in solution, i.e., solvation plus vacuum Coulomb energies, because of the

We present a formal and numerical analysis of the errors related to the use of molecular cavities in the continuum description of solute᎐solvent electrostatic interactions. In this approximation the solvent response is fully described by an apparent charge distribution induced on the cavity surface.
