This letter presents a method for the parametrization of semiempirical models for proton transfer reactions in water clusters. Two new models are developed: AM1-W, which is a reparameterization of the classic AM1 model, and AM1PG-W, which is a modified AM1-like model including a pairwise correction to the core repulsion function. Both models show good performance on hydrogen-bonding energies and on proton transfer energy profiles, which are of great importance for proton transfer reactions in large water clusters and in proteins. The parametrization method introduced is general and can be used to develop any other system-specific semiempirical models.
