Prediction of free energies of hydration with COSMO-RS on the SAMPL4 data set

Zusammenfassung

The COSMO-RS method has been used for the prediction of free energies of hydration on a dataset of 47 complex multifunctional compounds considered in the SAMPL4 challenge. Straight application of the COSMOtherm software with the parameterization C21_0108 yields a predictive accuracy of 1.46 kcal/mol root mean square error overall and 1.18 kcal/mol if a single dominant outlier is removed.
