description

International audience; We present a new algorithm to solve the polarizable continuum model equation in a framework compatible with the strategy previously developed by us for the conductor-like screening model based on Schwarz’s domain decomposition method (ddCOSMO). The new discretization is systematically improvable and is fully consistent with ddCOSMO so that it reproduces ddCOSMO results for large dielectric constants.
