Table 1:

Parameters of COSMO-SAC 2002 as implemented by Mullins et al.34 and their SI equivalents. The value for the charge of the electron is e = 1.602176634 × 10−19 C.

: Mullins et al. used an erroneous value in their Table 1. The correct value for the misfit energy parameter10 is obtained from (0.3fpolaeff3/2)/ε0, with ε0 = 2.395 × 10−4 (e2 mol)/(kcal Å), ϵ = 3.667, fpol = (ϵ – 1)/(ϵ + 0.5), and aeff = 7.5 Å2, according to the FORTRAN code of Mullins et al.
