Abstract
Density functional calculations on a range of hydrogen bonded clusters of cisplatin are reported. A systematic search of 1:1 cisplatin:water complexes reveals only three stable minima, which contain a number of common, recurring interactions, such as an NH … OH … Cl bridging mode. Expanding these clusters by adding water molecules leads to a model of the first solvation shell of cisplatin, which contains the above motifs along with several strong waterwater interactions. The strengths of such interactions are rationalized on the basis of electrostatic potentials, and quantified by use of Atoms in Molecules properties. This analysis also allows us to estimate cisplatin's position on Abraham's hydrogen bond acidity and basicity scales, indicating that cisplatin is a strong donor and acceptor of hydrogen bonds due to the dominance of hard, electrostatic interactions. The effects of this explicit solvation on the barrier to hydrolysis, and hence activation, of cisplatin are explored, indicating a slightly higher barrier than in the gas phase, leading to better agreement with experiment than either gas phase or continuum solvation calculations. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A continuum and a discrete-continuum models are used to determine the solvation energies of FCH,COO-, FCH,COOH, and FZCHCOO-. For the anions, the continuum model provides results closer to the experiment, while for the acid, the addition of one water molecule improves the continuum-only energy.
