| Abstract | Both implicit solvation method (dielectric polarizable continuum model, DPCM) and hybrid solvation method (cluster-continuum model) were adopted to calculate the pK $_{a}$ of mono-protonated form of 13$^{2}$-(demethoxycarbonyl) pheophytin a (Pheo) in methanol. In the cluster-continuum model calculations, we considered only 1 solvent molecule attached explicitly and others treated implicitly whereas in the DPCM calculations all the solvent molecules were treated implicitly. DPCM calculations were carried out on Pheo, PheoH$^{+}$, Pheo-CH$_{3}$OH and PheoH$^{+}$-CH$_{3}$OH in methanol solution. The aim of these calculations was to determine the free energy changes involved in the deprotonation of PheoH$^{+}$ (ΔG $_{sol}$) and finally to obtain the corresponding pK $_{a}$ value. DPCM calculations were carried out employing the restricted open-shell density functional treatment (ROB3LYP) using the 6–31G(d) basis set to determine the free energy of solvation of bare Pheo and PheoH$^{+}$ and of the clusters, Pheo-CH$_{3}$OH and PheoH$^{+}$-CH$_{3}$OH in methanol. In-vacuo geometries of all the species were obtained by performing optimizations at ROB3LYP level using the 6–31G(d) basis. Electronic energies of all the species were then obtained by carrying out single point DFT calculations using 6–311+G(2d, 2p) basis set on the respective optimized geometries. Differences in thermal energy and molecular entropy were calculated by carrying out frequency calculations at ROB3LYP/STO-3G level on the optimized geometries of the truncated models. The optimized geometries of the clusters display intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions. The pK $_{a}$ values of PheoH$_{+}$ calculated by DFT-DPCM and cluster-continuum methods are 6·12 and 4·70 respectively while the observed value is 4·14. The hydrogen bonding interaction between the solute and the solvent can be attributed for the good performance of the cluster-continuum model over pure continuum model. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
