An application of the coupled reference interaction site model (RISM)/simulation methodology to the calculation of the potential of mean force (PMF) curve in aqueous solution for the identity nucleophilic substitution reaction Cl- + CH3Cl is performed. The free energy of activation is calculated to be 27.1 kcal/mol which compares very well with the experimentally determined barrier height of 26.6 kcal/mol. Furthermore, the calculated PMF is almost superimposed with that previously calculated using the computationally rigorous Monte Carlo with importance sampling method (Chandrasekhar, J.; Smith, S. F.; Jorgensen, W. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1985, 107, 154). Using the calculated PMF, a crude estimate of the solvated kinetic transmission coefficient also compares well with that of previous more accurate simulations. These results indicate that the coupled RISM/simulation method provides a cost-effective methodology for studying reactions in solution.
