Modeling SCIES

The original PCM method uses a cavity made of spherical regions around each atom. The isodensity PCM model (IPCM) uses a cavity that is defined by an isosurface of the electron density. This is defined iteratively by running SCF calculations with the cavity until a convergence is reached. The self-consistent isodensity PCM model (SCI-PCM) is similar to IPCM in theory, but different in implementation. SCI-PCM calculations embed the cavity calculation in the SCF procedure to account for coupling between the two parts of the calculation.

Over the years, many workers have addressed the problem of choice of cavity and the reaction field. Tomasi s polarized continuum model (PCM) defines the cavity as a series of interlocking spheres. The isodensity PCM (IPCM) defines the cavity as an isodensity surface of the molecule. This isodensity surface is determined iteratively. The self-consistent isodensity polarized continuum model (SCI-PCM) gives a further refinement in that it allows for a full coupling between the cavity shape and the electron density.

A full quantum-mechanical description of the Menshutkin reaction has been obtained for gas phase and solution by using density functional theory (DFT) and the self-consistent isodensity polarizable continuum model (SCI-PCM). Ammonia and pyridine were the nucleophiles and methyl chloride and methyl bromide, the electrophiles. In the gas phase an initial dipole complex intermediate is followed by a transition state leading to an ion pair. In the solvent-effect calculations, the dipole complex disappears with both cyclohexane and DMSO. The transition state is stabilized compared with the gas phase. The ion-pair product is strongly stabilized and in DMSO it is dissociated into free ions.
