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.

Semiempirical investigations on the stabilization energies and ionic hydrogen-bonded structures of F−(H2O)n and Cl−(H2O)n (n = 1–4) clusters

TL;DR: In this article, several semi-empirical methods were utilized to analyze the structures and stabilities of X−(H2O)n (X = F, Cl; n = 1-4) clusters with respect to the number of water molecules through their comparison with ab initio molecular orbital calculations.

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.
