CCL: FW: bindings energy with BSSE or in solvent?

 Sent to CCL by: Andreas Klamt [klamt%a%cosmologic.de]
 This is an interesting question. I never thought about it in this way.
 But I do not really believe that the BSSE caculated in the gasphase is
 relevant for the liquid phase, because solvation as in PCM or COSMO
 tends to localize the wavefunctions a bit better than in the gasphase.
 Thus the BSSE should be smaller.
 My recipe for reaction energies in solution is:
 1) desolvate the educts (e.g. with PCM or COSMO, or best with COSMO-RS)
 2) apply gasphase reaction QC methods
 3) solvate the products (e.g. with PCM or COSMO, or best with COSMO-RS)

 you can still calculate a BSSE correction in one calculation and calculate the
 solvation energy in another.
