The MOOH approach is a perturbational molecular orbital method to predict rate constants of indirect photolysis of organic compounds through reaction with OH radicals. It employs the semiempirical AM1 scheme as the underlying quantum chemical model. The original method introduced by Klamt has been reparametrized using an up-to-date set of 675 compounds with experimental rate constants and outperforms the prominent Atkinson increment scheme for this training set as well as for an extended set of 805 compounds, yielding an overall root-mean-square error of 0.32 log units. The discussion includes detailed comparative analyses of the model performances for individual compound classes. The present model calibration refers mainly to monofunctional compounds but performs already reasonably well for multifunctional compounds. For predictive applications, both the Atkinson scheme and the alternative, independent AM1-MOOH model can be used as components of a consensus modeling approach, arriving at increased confidence in cases where the different models agree. |
