Hello!

I must say I really enjoy your questions to CCL!

>         What is the aim of ESP ?

ESP=ElectroStatic Potential. A molecule or an ion creates an electrostatic
potential (due to nuclei and electrons present). The aim of ESP, up to
my understanding, is exactly what it proclaims -- model the electrostatic
potential created by the molecule by means of some easy-computed function,
such as superposition of point charges or whatever it takes to reproduce
reasonably well the electron density in the question. So, I would say that
the correct answer is
> (2) the determination of charge for the electrostatic interaction beteen
> molecules ?

Sincerely,
Dmitry Khoroshun

(2) is the correct answer.

Hi,
>         What is the aim of CHELP,CHELPG and MERZ-KOLLMAN, etc. ?
> 
> (1) The determination of atomic charge for molecules itself ?

> (3) others.

The CHELP and others are different methods to find atom centered 
point charges which would reproduce the electrostatic potential of 
the molecule. The difference between these methods is in the 
selection of points where the electrostatic potential is computed. 
The charges thus determined are usually used for the calculations of 
the electrostatic interactions between molecules.

        The 4-31G basis set is reliable for CH3OH2+(H2O)n (n =
