What Does CSM Stand For?

CSM stands for Continuum Solvation Model

The Continuum Solvation Model (CSM) is a theoretical framework used to study the solvation effects on molecular systems. By representing the solvent as a continuous medium rather than discrete solvent molecules, CSM allows for the efficient calculation of solvation energies and properties. This model is widely applied in computational chemistry to analyze reaction mechanisms, predict solvent effects on molecular interactions, and improve the accuracy of quantum mechanical calculations in a variety of chemical contexts.
