Solvent effects solution acidity, continuum-solvation

In this contribution, we describe and illustrate the latest generalizations and developments[1]-[3] of a theory of recent formulation[4]-[6] for the study of chemical reactions in solution. This theory combines the powerful interpretive framework of Valence Bond (VB) theory [7] — so well known to chemists — with a dielectric continuum description of the solvent. The latter includes the quantization of the solvent electronic polarization[5, 6] and also accounts for nonequilibrium solvation effects. Compared to earlier, related efforts[4]-[6], [8]-[10], the theory [l]-[3] includes the boundary conditions on the solute cavity in a fashion related to that of Tomasi[ll] for equilibrium problems, and can be applied to reaction systems which require more than two VB states for their description, namely bimolecular Sjy2 reactions ],[8](b),[12],[13] X + RY XR + Y, acid ionizations[8](a),[14] HA +B —> A + HB+, and Menschutkin reactions[7](b), among other reactions. Compared to the various reaction field theories in use[ll],[15]-[21] (some of which are discussed in the present volume), the theory is distinguished by its quantization of the solvent electronic polarization (which in general leads to deviations from a Self-consistent limiting behavior), the inclusion of nonequilibrium solvation — so important for chemical reactions, and the VB perspective. Further historical perspective and discussion of connections to other work may be found in Ref.[l],... [Pg.259]

Going beyond the mean-field level, several "hybrid" approaches are now being explored in MD simulations. Examples include a recent model [70] in which the immediate hydration of the solute is modeled explicitly by a layer of water molecules, and the GB model is used to treat the bulk continuum solvent outside the explicit simulation volume. A similar idea was recently found very effective in the context of replica-exchange simulations [71]. An explicit ion/implicit water (PB) solvation model for molecular dynamics of nucleic acids has recently been tested [72]. [Pg.133]
