Useful papers

- Paper solvation. Theory

There is a great discussion in this paper about the entropic effects and reference state when solvent molecules are explicitly considered. Cluster-continuum model.

- Paper solvation. Application

Cluster-continuum model. This is a supporting information from a paper (mine and really good). Go to page S35 for the computational part.

- SMD original paper Theory + Application

This is the original paper on the SMD model. Many interesting formulations can be found here to modify the model (e.g. atomic radii).
