Treatment of the outlying charge in continuum solvation models

Klamt, Andreas, Jonas, Volker·1996·The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract

Continuum solvation models have proven to yield very valuable information about solvation effects, if cavities close to the van der Waals surface of the solutes are used for the calculation of the screening charges. Unfortunately, such cavity size implies that a small but significant portion of the solute electron density reaches out of the cavity. This outlying charge causes serious problems in the context of the dielectric continuum treatment of the solvent. The present paper presents a critical consideration of the origin, the magnitude, and the different strategies for treatment of this problem. Finally, a novel ansatz using an additional, outer cavity is presented which provides rather accurate correction of the corresponding error.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
