Hydration The interaction

Since there is a negative and a positive end to the water molecule, it may interact with either positive or negative ions. Such an interaction is called solvation (or, in the particular case of water, hydration). The interaction between negative ions and the positive end of the water molecule is almost always electrostatic in nature the interaction between positive ions of the salt and the oxygen of water may be electrostatic, or the water might form a covalent bond. Thus, for sodium chloride, the hydrated tons may be appropriately represented ...

In aqueous solution, free metal ions are complexed with water. The metal ions are said to be hydrated. The interaction of these hydrated metal ions with acids and bases is a ligand exchange reaction that is commonly called hydrolysis, or piotolysis. These terms describe the general reaction in which a proton is transferred from an acid to water, or from water to a base. This type of reaction involving hydrated metal cations as the proton-donors or acids occurs readily and is of extreme importance in natural waters. For example, the stepwise hydrolysis of the aquoaluminum(III) ion can be represented by the following series of equations ... 

As discussed in the previous sections, the hydrated cation migration under an applied electric field directly results in the deformation of the material. In fact, when ionomer (Nafion, Flemion) is dry, the interaction between the side chain groups and the cations is very strong and the ionic conductivity of the membrane is very small [Takeji et al. (1982)]. Conversely, when the membrane is hydrated, the interaction between the cations and the anions in the side chains is weakened and it results in bet-... 

The SPC/E model approximates many-body effects m liquid water and corresponds to a molecular dipole moment of 2.35 Debye (D) compared to the actual dipole moment of 1.85 D for an isolated water molecule. The model reproduces the diflfiision coefficient and themiodynamics properties at ambient temperatures to within a few per cent, and the critical parameters (see below) are predicted to within 15%. The same model potential has been extended to include the interactions between ions and water by fitting the parameters to the hydration energies of small ion-water clusters. The parameters for the ion-water and water-water interactions in the SPC/E model are given in table A2.3.2. 

The distinction between pairwise and bulk hydrophobic interactions is often made, although some authors doubt the existence of an intrinsic difference between the two ". Pairwise hydrophobic interactions denote the interactions behveen two isolated nonpolar solutes in aqueous solution. They occur in the regime where no aggregation takes place, hence below the critical aggregation concentration or solubility limit of the particular solute. If any breakdown of the hydrophobic hydration shell occurs, it will be only transient. 

Although the emphasis in these last chapters is certainly on the polymeric solute, the experimental methods described herein also measure the interactions of these solutes with various solvents. Such interactions include the hydration of proteins at one extreme and the exclusion of poor solvents from random coils at the other. In between, good solvents are imbibed into the polymer domain to various degrees to expand coil dimensions. Such quantities as the Flory-Huggins interaction parameter, the 0 temperature, and the coil expansion factor are among the ways such interactions are quantified in the following chapters. 

The NMR study by Wiithrich and coworkers has shown that there is a cavity between the protein and the DNA in the major groove of the Antennapedia complex. There are several water molecules in this cavity with a residence time with respect to exchange with bulk water in the millisecond to nanosecond range. These observations indicate that at least some of the specific protein-DNA interactions are short-lived and mediated by water molecules. In particular, the interactions between DNA and the highly conserved Gin 50 and the invariant Asn 51 are best rationalized as a fluctuating network of weak-bonding interactions involving interfacial hydration water molecules. 

The interaction between a solute species and solvent molecules is called solvation, or hydration in aqueous solution. This phenomenon stabilizes separated charges and makes possible heterolytic reactions in solution. Solvation is, therefore, an important subject in solution chemistry. The solvation of ions has been most thoroughly studied. 

Different samples of aqueous solution containing radionuclides of Co and Eu were prepared at different copper sulphate concentrations and constant polymer concentrations (pAM) of 15 mg/1. The addition of salt to the system was done to reduce both the repulsion forces between the radionuclides and the interaction between the polymeric chains [7]. The polymer efficiency for the prepared samples was determined, results are shown in Fig. 15. It is clear that the polymer efficiency for Eu " is higher than for Co. This can be explained by the difference in the tightly bound structured water associated with different cationic species [14,107]. On this basis, we expect that Co is more hydrated than Eu. This is due to the difference in the ionic size. The hydra-... 

Furthermore it can be shown that besides the direct influence of hydrophilic and hydrophobic hydration on the conformation, the interaction of charged groups with ions is also strongly influenced by the hydration of the groups involved. Such studies were made largely by using relatively simple poly-a-aminoacids with ionogenic side chains as model substances. 

A review on this topic was given by Finney in 1979154). As was pointed out by the author, at this time it was likely that at least some deviations of the hydration shell from that in solution would occur because there would probably be some remarkable perturbations of the hydration shell due to the interactions with neighboured molecules. Furthermore, the pH values and the salt concentrations necessary for preparing protein crystals are not identical with those under the usual conditions for native proteins in solution which could give rise to deviations in the hydration shell for crystallized and dissolved proteins. 

Of course the interaction between water molecules and the hydration sites depends on their chemical nature. According to the results of IR-measurements the following order of decreasing affinity was given by Falk et al.160) and was accepted as being quite reasonable 161) ...
