Continuous dielectric permittivity II: An Iterative Method for Calculating the Polar Component of the Molecular Solvation Gibbs Energy Under a Smooth Change in the Dielectric Permittivity of a Solution

An iterative method for calculating the polar component of the solvation Gibbs energy under a smooth change in dielectric permittivity, both between a substrate and a solvent and in a solvent is formulated on the basis of a previously developed model. The method is developed in the approximation of the local relationship D = \eps (r) E between the displacement vectors D and the electric field intensity E.

Continuous dielectric permittivity I: Specific features of the dielectric continuum solvation model with a position-dependent permittivity function

We consider a modified formulation for the recently developed new approach in the continuum solvation theory (Basilevsky, M. V., Grigoriev, F. V., Nikitina, E. A., Leszczynski, J., J. Phys. Chem. B 2010, 114, 2457), which is based on the exact solution of the electrostatic Poisson equation with the space-dependent dielectric permittivity. Its present modification ensures the property curl E = 0 for the electric strength field E inherent to this solution, which is the obligatory condition imposed by Maxwell equations. The illustrative computation is made for the model system of the point dipole immersed in a spherical cavity of excluded volume.

New method to estimate stability of chelate complexes

A new method allowing calculation of the stability of chelate complexes with Mg2+ ion in water have been developed. The method is based on two-stage scheme for the complex formation. The first stage is the ligand transfer from an arbitrary point of the solution to the second solvation shell of the Mg2+ ion. At this stage the ligand is considered as a charged or neutral rigid body. The second stage takes into account disruption of coordinate bonds between Mg2+ and water molecules from the first solvation shell and formation of the bonds between the ligand and the Mg2+ ion. This effect is considered using the quantum chemical modeling. It has been revealed that the main contribution to the free energy of the complex formation is caused by the disruption/formation of the coordinate bonds between Mg2+, water molecules and the ligand. Another important contribution to the complex formation energy is change of electrostatic interactions in water solvent upon the ligand binding with Mg2+ ion. For all complexes under investigation the reasonable (in frame of 2 kcal/mol) agreement between calculated and experimental values are achieved.
