Abstract
The effect of water on the topology of the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) of eight small prototypical molecules (H 2 O, NH 3 , CH 3 OH, CH 3 NH 2 , CH 2 O, HF, CH 4 , and HCOOH) has been studied at the ab initio 6-31G * level by using the Miertus-Scrocco-Tomasi self-consistent reaction field method. Both the general MEP distribution and the critical points of the MEP have been used to quantify the magnitude of the polarizing effect of water. The results demonstrate the complexity and specificity of the water effect on the solute charge distribution. The formaldehyde is the most polarizable molecule, while the methane is least affected by the water
