Ions in water: characterizing the forces that control chemical processes and biological structure.

TLDR
Two different techniques indicate that the interaction of water with anions is by an approximately linear hydrogen bond, suggesting that the dominant forces on ions in water are short range forces of a chemical nature.

Anion Fractionation and Reactivity at Air/Water:Methanol Interfaces. Implications for the Origin of Hofmeister Effects

TL;DR: New experimental results on a set of anions that include the large PF 6 (-) and the highly polarizable IO 3 (-) species are reported, showing that f X (-) is almost independent of x w, and O 3(g) oxidizes I (-) at virtually identical rates on H 2O and MeOH.

Ion-specific effects on the kinetics of mineral dissolution

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of background electrolytes on mineral growth and dissolution was investigated by measuring dissolution rates using in-situ Atomic Force Microscopy, and the results showed that the tendency for electrolytes to form ion pairs in solution reduces such an effect, thus leading to an inverse correlation between dissolution rates and background ion separation.

Thermodynamically dominant hydration structures of aqueous ions.

TL;DR: Each stepwise increment in the coordination number more fully accounts for the chemical contribution, and this molecular aufbau approach is used to interrogate the thermodynamic importance of various hydration structures X[H(2)O](n) of X(aq) within a classical molecular mechanics framework.

Cation-Anion Interactions within the Nucleic Acid Ion Atmosphere Revealed by Ion Counting.

TL;DR: The properties of anion exclusion are systematically explored, testing the zeroth-order model that anions of different identity are equally excluded due to electrostatic repulsion and reveal hitherto unknown properties of the ion atmosphere and suggest possible roles of oriented ion pairs or anion-bridged cations in the ions atmosphere for electrolyte solutions of salts with reduced activity.

Osmolyte effects: impact on the aqueous solution around charged and neutral spheres.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that several factors like the charge of the spheres as well as the characteristics of the osmolytes significantly influence the thermodynamic and dynamic properties of the local water shell and the solvation process with regard to varying enthalpic and entropic contributions.

The Hofmeister effect and the behaviour of water at interfaces.

TL;DR: The first general, detailed qualitative molecular mechanism for the origins of ion-specific (Hofmeister) effects on the surface potential difference at an air-water interface is proposed; this mechanism suggests a simple model for the behaviour of water at all interfaces, regardless of whether the non-aqueous component is neutral or charged, polar or non-polar.

Specific ion effects at the air/water interface.

TL;DR: Aqueous ion-containing interfaces are ubiquitous and play a key role in a plethora of physical, chemical, atmospheric, and biological processes, from which just a few illustrative examples are mentioned.
