Most recently, Glendening and Streitwicser have decomposed the interaction energy of the water dimer using natural bond orbitals. Their natural energy decomposition analysis (NEDA) combines the normal electrostatic and exchange energies into a single ES term,... [Pg.222]

In order to obtain more information on the solvation process Yang and Cui performed a so called natural energy decomposition analysis (NEDA) on monomethyl phosphate ester (MMP) solvated in water. They used a supermolecular approach where the solute plus a number of water molecules (up to 34) were treated quantum-mechanically. A further set of water molecules was treated with a force-field model. Their results indicate that there is a substantial charge transfer between the solute and the nearest solvent molecules. The interaction energy due to this transfer was found to amount to some 70-80% of that of the electric interactions. Since MMP forms hydrogen bonds with the water molecules, all results together suggests that for such a system it is important to include the nearest solvent molecules in the quantum-mechanical treatment, whereas a continuum approximation or a force field may not be sufficiently accurate.

A much more sophisticated and thorough analysis of intermolecular interactions is provided by the natural energy decomposition analysis (NEDA) module of the NBO... [Pg.223]

The natural energy decomposition analysis (the keyword is NEDA) of Glendening and Streitwieser provides a more comprehensive picture of the various energy components contributing to intermolecular interactions. The NEDA decomposition mimics in some ways the older Kitaura-Morokuma analysis, but it avoids the use of non-orthogonal (and exclusion principle-violating) wavefiinctions for the two monomers, with the attendant interpretational ambiguities.
