Theoretical method of researching ion-molecule reactions in solution

Description

A method has been devised for researching the mechanisms of ion-molecule reactions in aqueous solutions, which involves deriving an approximate reaction path by means of a model Hamiltonian, in which the medium is described by a set of point Langevin dipoles. At the stationary points on the PES derived in that way, the solvation may be simulated by means of a more accurate scheme for the medium, namely by direct optimization of the potential energy for the solvate shell. The method has been tested on the reaction CO2+OH- reversible HCO3-. The model Hamiltonian has been constructed by MINDO/3. Good agreement with experiment is obtained
