Abstract

This paper examines how the accuracy of activity coefficients at infinite dilution calculated from the conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS) depends on the basis set and the quantum chemical method used. Activity coefficients at various temperatures serve as experimental parameters for optimising the COSMO-RS parameters. A modification of the electrostatic misfit term of the energy function of COSMO-RS is presented that leads to a slightly higher accuracy. COSMO-RS parameter sets for nine different systematically varied basis sets using the density functional theory with the BP86 functional show that at least a valence double-zeta basis set is necessary for good accuracy. Larger basis sets show no advantages. Investigations of eight different quantum chemical calculation methods using a valence triple-zeta basis set are documented. Hartree–Fock and local density approximations give relatively poor results. The gradient-corrected density functionals investigated and the B3LYP hybrid functional show practically identical accuracy. The most accurate parameterisation was obtained with MP2.
