Exponential Scaling of Water Exchange Rates with Ion Interaction Strength from the Perspective of Dynamic Facilitation Theory
arXiv:1810.01235 · doi:10.1021/acs.jpca.8b09667
Abstract
Water exchange reactions around ionic solutes are ubiquitous in aqueous solution-phase chemistry. However, the extreme sensitivity of exchange rates to perturbations in the chemistry of an ionic solute is not well understood. We examine water exchange around model ions within the language of dynamic facilitation theory, typically used to describe glassy and other systems with collective, facilitated dynamics. Through the development of a coarse-grained, kinetically-constrained lattice model of water exchange, we show that the timescale for water exchange scales exponentially with the strength of the solute-solvent interactions.
