摘要

In this work, we used 28 carboxylic acids in methanol solvation medium. We employed Isodesmic method and the Direct method, using compound methods G4CEP, G3(CCSD)-CEP, and G3X-CEP, plus the application of 12 functionals. In the Isodesmic method, the Gn-CEP methods presented MAE values ​​of 0.98, 1.03, and 1.18 pKa units for G4CEP, G3(CCSD)-CEP, and G3X-CEP, respectively. We used 4 different ΔGsolv(H+) values, with the best results achieved with the values ​​proposed by Kelly et al. and Rossini and Knapp. The best MAE was 2.04 pKa units, as proposed by Kelly et al., with SOGGA11 and CAM-B3LYP-D3BJ achieving 1.20 pKa units using the value proposed by Rossini and Knapp. In this work, we proposed the value of ΔGsolv(H+) =  − 282.63 kcal mol−1 to be used with composite methods.
