'''COSMO'''<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> is the abbreviation for "'''CO'''nductor-like '''S'''creening '''MO'''del", a calculation method for determining the [[electrostatic]] interaction of a [[molecule]] with a [[solvent]]. The method is commonly used in [[computational chemistry]] to model [[solvation]] effects.
