In addition to SMx and the cluster-continuum model, other continuum models have also been used to study reactions in liquids, including the polarized continuum model [133-135] (PCM), the conductor-like screening model (COSMO [136] and COSMO-RS [137,138]), the generalized COSMO [139] (GCOSMO) model, conductorlike PCM [140] (CPCM), and isodensity PCM [141] (IPCM). 

Generalized Bom (GB) approach. The most common implicit models used for small molecules are the Conductor-Like Screening Model (COSMO) [77,78], the DPCM [79], the Conductor-Like Modification to the Polarized Continuum Model (CPCM) [80,81], the Integral Equation Formalism Implementation of PCM (IEF-PCM) [82] PB models, and the GB SMx models of Cramer and Truhlar [23,83-86]. The newest Minnesota solvation models are the SMD universal Solvation Model based on solute electron density [26] and the SMLVE method, which combines the surface and volume polarization for electrostatic interactions model (SVPE) [87-89] with semiempirical terms that account for local electrostatics [90]. Further details on these methods can be found in Chapter 11 of Reference [23]. 

E-B. A model solution to the electrostatic problem, e.g., the Generalized Bom Approximation or a conductor-like screening solution. 

PCM are explicated in Table 11.1. Also listed in this table are the forms of K and R for the so-called conductor-like model, C-PCM [25]. This model is considerably simpler in that the matrix D is absent. C-PCM is identical to the generalized conductor-iike screening modei (GCOSMO) [78], and almost identical to the original COSMO [37]. (G]COSMO was introduced prior to SS(V)PE/1EF-PCM, based on ad hoc arguments and designed to achieve the correct oo limit. We...
