We present an approach for deriving net atomic charges fromab initioquantum mechanical calculations using a least squares fit of the quantum mechanically calculated electrostatic potential to that of the partial charge model. Our computational approach is similar to those presented by Momany [J. Phys. Chem.,82, 592 (1978)], Smit, Derissen, and van Duijneveldt [Mol. Phys.,37, 521 (1979)], and Cox and Williams [J. Comput. Chem.,2, 304 (1981)], but differs in the approach to choosing the positions for evaluating the potential. In this article, we present applications to the molecules H2O, CH3OH, (CH3)2O, H2CO, NH3, (CH3O)2PO, deoxyribose, ribose, adenine, 9‐CH3adenine, thymine, 1‐CH3thymine, guanine, 9‐CH3guanine, cytosine, 1‐CH3cytosine, uracil, and 1‐CH3uracil. We also address the question of inclusion of “lone pairs,” their location and charge.
