摘要

The conductor-like screening model (COSMO) was used to investigate the solvent influence on electronic g-values of organic radicals. The previously studied diphenyl nitric oxide and di-tert-butyl nitric oxide radicals were taken as test cases. The calculations employed spin-unrestricted density functional theory and the BP and B3LYP density functionals. The g-tensors were calculated as mixed second derivative properties with respect to the external magnetic field and the electron magnetic moment. The first-order response of the Kohn-Sham orbitals with respect to the external magnetic field was determined through the coupled-perturbed DFT approach. The spin-orbit coupling operator was treated using an accurate multicenter spin-orbit mean-field (SOMF) approach. Provided that important hydrogen bonds are explicitly modeled by a supermolecule approach and that the basis set is sufficiently saturated, the COSMO calculations lead to accurate predictions of isotropic g-shifts with deviations of not more than 100 ppm relative to experiment. Very accurate results were obtained by employing a recently developed self-consistent modification of the COSMO method to real solvents (COSMO-RS), which we briefly introduce in this paper as direct COSMO-RS (D-COSMO-RS). This model gives isotropic g-shifts of similar high accuracy for water without using the supermolecule approach. This is an important result because it solves many of the problems associated with the supermolecule approach such as local minima and the choice of a suitable model system. Thus, the self-consistent D-COSMO-RS incorporates some specific solvation effects into continuum models, in particular it appears to successfully model the effects of hydrogen bonding. Although not yet widely validated. this opens a novel approach for the calculation of properties which so far only could be calculated by the inclusion of explicit solvent molecules in continuum solvation methods.
