Response Theory for Static and Dynamic Solvation of Ionic and Dipolar Solutes in Water
Renjie Zhao, Richard C. Remsing, John D. Weeks
The response of polar solvents to ions and polar molecules dictates many fundamental molecular processes. To understand such electrostatically-driven solvation processes, one ideal…
Quantifying the relevance of long-range forces for crystal nucleation in water
Renjie Zhao, Ziyue Zou, John D. Weeks +1
Understanding nucleation from aqueous solutions is of fundamental importance in a multitude of fields, ranging from materials science to biophysics. The complex solvent-mediated in…
Influence of long range forces on the transition states and dynamics of NaCl ion-pair dissociation in water
Dedi Wang, Renjie Zhao, John D. Weeks +1
We study NaCl ion-pair dissociation in a dilute aqueous solution using computer simulations both for the full system with long range Coulomb interactions and for a well chosen refe…
The Influence of Distant Boundaries on the Solvation of Charged Particles
Richard C. Remsing, John D. Weeks
The long-ranged nature of the Coulomb potential requires a proper accounting for the influence of even distant electrostatic boundaries in the determination of the solvation free e…
Hydrophobicity Scaling of Aqueous Interfaces by an Electrostatic Mapping
Richard C. Remsing, John D. Weeks
An understanding of the hydrophobicity of complex heterogeneous molecular assemblies is crucial to characterize and predict interactions between biomolecules. As such, uncovering t…
Dissecting Hydrophobic Hydration and Association
Richard C. Remsing, John D. Weeks
We use appropriately defined short ranged reference models of liquid water to clarify the different roles local hydrogen bonding, van der Waals attractions, and long ranged electro…
