TABLE II.

The performance of new AM1-BCC charges with GAFF2 parameters on the solvation free energies of neutral organic solvent–neutral organic solute pairs. Expt. stands for experimental; MSE stands for mean signed error; MUE stands for mean unsigned error; RMSE stands for root mean square error; PI stands for predictive index; R stands for Pearson’s correlation coefficient; k and b stand for the slope and intercept values, respectively, when fitting the calculated data (y) vs experimental data (x) with function y = kx + b.
