37. sol of the other nicotine protonation states (neutral and doubly protonated) was performed using the SM5.42R HF/6-31G* parametrized model on HF/6-31G** geometries. This model was applied to these systems in lieu of SPT/OPLS simulations because it produced similar qualitative trends for the singly protonated species at a fraction of the computational expense. The same cis/trans solvation trend seen for + species was seen for other protonation states, and trans species are still predicted to be most stable in aqueous solution. But interestingly, the B rotamers for both 0 and ++ species showed better solvation than the A ones. Thus, in species where the N atoms carry a similar charge, solvation appears to improve with decreased N-N distance.
