Abstract:

A novel nonequilibrium solvation theory established recently by the authors was introduced. Differing from the traditional ones, the present theory was based on the constrained equilibrium principle of classical thermodynamics. The calculations of solvent reorganization energy were performed with the electron transfer system of NpO2+-NpO22+ as an example. The constrained density functional theory was adopted for the charge localization of the system and IEF-PCM was used for the gain of polarization charges in water. Both two-sphere model and numerical solution give consistent and reasonable solvent reorganization energies.

Key words: Nonequilibrium solvation, Constrained equilibrium state, Electron transfer, Solvent reorganization energy
