Abstract

Solvation effects can have a tremendous influence on chemical reactions. However, precise quantum chemistry calculations are most often done either in vacuum neglecting the role of the solvent or using continuum solvent model ignoring its molecular nature. We propose a new method coupling a quantum description of the solute using electronic density functional theory with a classical grand-canonica…
