Description
Résumé:© 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
Partial atomic charges are important force field parameters. They are usually computed by applying quantum-chemical calculations and the assumed population scheme. In this study polarization consistent scheme of deriving a charge distribution inside solute molecule is proposed. The environment effect is explicitly taken into account by distributing solvent molecules around the solute target. The performed analysis includes a few computational schemes (HF, MP2, B3LYP, and M026X), basis sets (cc-pvnz, n = 2, 3, …, 6), and electrostatically derived charge distributions (KS, CHELP, CHELPG, and HLY). It is demonstrated that the environment effect is very important and cannot be disregarded. The second solvation shell should be included to achieve the charge convergence. Huge corrections to charge distribution are due to induction and dispersion. The B3LYP/cc-pvqz level of theory is recommended for deriving the charges within self-consistent polarization scheme
