Abstract:
We derive expressions corresponding to a coupling of the recently proposed Bond Capacity polarization model with implicit solvation by means of the generalized Born and conductor-like polarizable continuum models. The original bond capacity interaction kernel is in both cases augmented with a term that accounts for the reaction potential arising from the continuum. The expressions for energy gradients are derived within the recently introduced Lagrangian formalism for the efficient evaluation of energy gradients of nonvariational force fields.

Covalent Bonds
When two atoms share electrons to complete their valence shells, they create a covalent bond. An atom's electronegativity—the force with which shared electrons are pulled towards an atom—determines how the electrons are shared. Molecules formed with covalent bonds can be either polar or nonpolar. Atoms with similar electronegativities form nonpolar covalent bonds; the electrons are shared equally. Atoms with different electronegativities share electrons unequally,...
