Abstract
The determination of continuum solvation models for the solvation energy of anions, was described. To investigate the reliability of the solvent model, a few explicit THF molecules were incorporated. A set of anions was chosen for which the experimental free energies of solvation were available for both H 2O and DMSO solutions. A major difference between the water model and the DMSO model is that the latter systematically overestimates the free energy of solvation. The full water model in Jaguar v 4.2, including also nonelectrostatic terms, gives good correlation with experimental values for energy of solvation.
