Abstract

We examine the representation of solvent effects by continuum models in the frame of the Reaction Field Theory. Particular attention is devoted to the problem raised by the adaptation of the current methods of Quantum Chemistry in the Self Consistent Field approximation especially at a semiempirical level.

A critical examination of the literature in the field shows that, for the main part, the proposed methods suffer from theoretical internal incoherence.

As an illustration of this study, we propose an extension of the generalized Born formula which is able to account for the desolvation effects produced by the specific neighborhood of each center of the solvated species.
