Notes:
The self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) method proposed by Miertus, Scrocco, and Tomasi (MST) has been optimized for MNDO and PM3 semiempirical Hamiltonians. Different algorithms used to compute the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and different solute cavities have been investigated. The ability of the optimized models to reproduce experimental free energies of solvation and to mimic the solvent effect in several chemical processes has been compared with the ab initio and AM1 versions of the MST method as well as with experimental data. © 1995 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
