## Abstract The natural atomic orbital/point (NAO‐PC) model originally developed to calculate molecular electrostatic potentials (MEPs) and multiple moments based on the AM1 wave function has been extended to PM3. As for AM1, NAO‐PC/PM3 reproduces dipole moments calculated by the standard PM3 metho

✦ Synopsis
A systematic study of the suitability of PM3-derived molecular electrostatic potentials (MEPs) is presented. Forty-six MEP minima, 81 electrostatic charges, and 17 electrostatic dipoles were determined at the PM3 level and compared with those obtained from the ab initio 6-31G* wave function, as well as from the semiempirical MNDO and AM1 wave functions. The statistical results of the comparison analysis between semiempirical and ab initio 6-31G* MEPs show that PM3 is in general reliable for the study of the MEP minima but a mediocre method as a source of electrostatic charges.

The distribution of molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) on a surface is a common model used to describe simultaneously steric properties (e.g., size, shape) and reactive properties (e.g., electro-and nucleophilic positions) of a molecule. In this work, we analyze some relations between these two
