Use Solvation & Solvent Effects online for small-molecule quantum chemistry.

Estimate neutral-molecule solvation with SMD across a curated solvent panel and compare transfer preferences relative to a chosen reference. All solvents use the same gas-prepared geometry. This is a continuum estimate without explicit solvent sampling, crystal energetics, pH effects or conformer free-energy averaging.

How Solvation & Solvent Effects Works

Provide one neutral closed-shell molecule, select a solvent panel and reference solvent, and choose DFT settings. The molecule is optimized in gas phase unless a valid uploaded fixed geometry is selected. SMD calculations use this same geometry in every solvent, including the cavity/dispersion/solvent-structure contribution.

solvation.csv reports the SMD solution-minus-gas electronic-energy estimate in kJ/mol and each solvent-minus-reference difference. A negative transfer value indicates a more favorable modeled environment relative to the reference under this fixed-conformer treatment. No additional gas-pressure/solution-concentration standard-state correction, thermal correction, or conformer averaging is applied. The estimate is not an absolute solubility or partition-coefficient measurement, and does not include crystal lattice, ionization, solvent mixtures or specific solvent complexes. structure.sdf provides the common geometry.
