Notes:
The AM1/MST strategy for the computation of hydrated neutral molecules has been optimized. For this purpose, we have systematically explored the best cavity definition, the most suitable strategy to compute the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), and the use of MEP scaling factors to correct the semiempirical MEPs. As a result, we have developed an optimized version of the AM1/MST method, which allows us to reproduce well the experimental free energies of hydration (root mean square, rms, deviation in the range of 1 kcal/mol) as well as the water-induced dipoles computed at the 6-31G*/MST level (rms deviations in the range of 0.3 D). © 1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
