Now we have the tools in hand to tackle various problems in solvated molecules. In the following sections, we present our recent efforts to explore such phenomena by means of the RISM-SCF/MCSCF method. 

Procedures to compute acidities are essentially similar to those for the basicities discussed in the previous section. The acidities in the gas phase and in solution can be calculated as the free energy changes AG and AG" upon proton release of the isolated and solvated molecules, respectively. To discuss the relative strengths of acidity in the gas and aqueous solution phases, we only need the magnitude of —AG and — AG" for haloacetic acids relative to those for acetic acids. Thus the free energy calculations for acetic acid, haloacetic acids, and each conjugate base are carried out in the gas phase and in aqueous solution. 

The reason for such difficulties is the GPC mechanism itself. We do not separate by molar mass but by the size of the solvated molecules. Different solvation of chemical unlike molecules results in breaking the M sequence of the calibration curve this becomes visible especially in the low molar mass range. Sometimes such difficulties can be circumvented if a specific detector is used, e.g., if the sample absorbs in the ultraviolet (UV) range and the disturbing peaks are UV transparent. 

With a realistic solvent model, we can explore the properties of solvated molecules. As before, we take a classical approach by adding the solute-solvent interaction term (USs) to the potential surface of the system and write...

B. Direct SEC-[n] Calibration. Because the SEC separation process is directly related to the size of the solvated molecules, and for a homopolymer series the molecular size is directly related to MW as well as [n]/ it is not necessary to proceed through MW calculations to study polymer intrinsic viscosity. Since... 

In almost all theoretical studies of AGf , it is postulated or tacitly understood that when an ion is transferred across the 0/W interface, it strips off solvated molecules completely, and hence the crystal ionic radius is usually employed for the calculation of AGfr°. Although Abraham and Liszi [17], in considering the transfer between mutually saturated solvents, were aware of the effects of hydration of ions in organic solvents in which water is quite soluble (e.g., 1-octanol, 1-pentanol, and methylisobutyl ketone), they concluded that in solvents such as NB andl,2-DCE, the solubility of water is rather small and most ions in the water-saturated solvent exist as unhydrated entities. However, even a water-immiscible organic solvent such as NB dissolves a considerable amount of water (e.g., ca. 170mM H2O in NB). In such a medium, hydrophilic ions such as Li, Na, Ca, Ba, CH, and Br are selectively solvated by water. This phenomenon has become apparent since at least 1968 by solvent extraction studies with the Karl-Fischer method [35 5]. Rais et al. [35] and Iwachido and coworkers [36-39] determined hydration numbers, i.e., the number of coextracted water molecules, for alkali and alkaline earth metal... 

Although coherent control is now a mature field, much remains to be accomplished in the study of the channel phase. There is no doubt that coherence plays an important role in large polyatomic molecules as well as in dissipative systems. To date, however, most of the published research on the channel phase has focused on isolated atoms and diatomic molecules, with very few studies addressing the problems of polyatomic and solvated molecules. The work to date on polyatomic molecules has been entirely experimental, whereas the research on solvated molecules has been entirely theoretical. It is important to extend the experimental methods from the gas to the condensed phase and hence explore the theoretical predictions of Section VC. Likewise interesting would be theoretical and numerical investigations of isolated large polyatomics. A challenge to future research would be to make quantitative comparison of experimental and numerical results for the channel phase. This would require that we address a sufficiently simple system, where both the experiment and the numerical calculation could be carried out accurately.

Thermochemistry. Chen et al.168 combined the Kohn-Sham formalism with finite difference calculations of the reaction field potential. The effect of mobile ions into on the reaction field potential Poisson-Boltzman equation. The authors used the DFT(B88/P86)/SCRF method to study solvation energies, dipole moments of solvated molecules, and absolute pKa values for a variety of small organic molecules. The list of molecules studied with this approach was subsequently extended182. A simplified version, where the reaction field was calculated only at the end of the SCF cycle, was applied to study redox potentials of several iron-sulphur clusters181.

In 2004, Nefedov and co-workers [63] reported a tetra-18-C-5-substituted complex RunPc(DHCP)4(TED)2 (65) with two axial TED ligands and seven solvate molecules CHCI3. The Pc %-% interactions are completely prohibited by the combination roles of peripheral substituted and axial coordinated ligand as well as by solvate molecules. 

As has been suggested in the previous section, explanations of solvent effects on the basis of the macroscopic physical properties of the solvent are not very successful. The alternative approach is to make use of the microscopic or chemical properties of the solvent and to consider the detailed interaction of solvent molecules with their own kind and with solute molecules. If a configuration in which one or more solvent molecules interacts with a solute molecule has a particularly low free energy, it is feasible to describe at least that part of the solute-solvent interaction as the formation of a molecular complex and to speak of an equilibrium between solvated and non-solvated molecules. Such a stabilization of a particular solute by solvation will shift any equilibrium involving that solute. For example, in the case of formation of carbonium ions from triphenylcarbinol, the equilibrium is shifted in favor of the carbonium ion by an acidic solvent that reacts with hydroxide ion and with water. The carbonium ion concentration in sulfuric acid is greater than it is in methanol-... 

In crystalline SCO complexes the influence of anions, solvate molecules, H-bonding effects and other intermolecular interactions will also influence the nature of SCO and the cooperativity, as has been discussed above. 

Zelentsov et al. also observed that the high spin fraction in virtually all samples increased to varying extents after the samples were heated [105]. The origin of this effect is not clear since the complexes were mostly unsolvated and thus loss of solvate molecules, the most common cause of such a change, was not applicable. Nevertheless, the importance of the inclusion of lattice water molecules in co-determining the spin crossover properties is evident in the different magnetic properties of Li[Fe(5-Br-thsa)2] [105] and Li[Fe(5-Br-thsa)2]-H20 [111].
