Abstract

The contribution of the molecular flexibility to the solvation excess free energy is expressed in terms of probabilities of reaching hard limits on intramolecular coordinates in a series of calculations successively relaxing those limits. Numerical tests on the harmonic oscillator are also presented and used to make suggestion about computational issues.
