We introduce a molecular-based route to the evaluation of the osmotic second virial
coefficients of dissociative solutes in dilute binary solutions, according to a general …

Ion-specific effects on the solubility of nonpolar solutes and on the solute–solute
hydrophobic interaction in aqueous electrolyte solutions are studied on the basis of a …

Although Hückel proposed the basic idea of using a concentration dependent dielectric
constant, ϵ (c), to compute the activity coefficients of ions in electrolytes in 1925 (Hückel …

To gain quantitative insight into how the overall strength of the hydrophobic interaction
varies with the molecular size, we calculate osmotic second virial coefficients B for …

In this report, an energy-scaled Debye–Hückel theory is developed for fast and accurate
evaluation of the electrostatic solvation free energy in size-asymmetric electrolyte solutions …

The introduction of cosolvents and other additives significantly has a profound impact on the
physicochemical properties and phases of solutions. This study develops a thermodynamic …

Understanding the thermodynamic properties of electrolyte solutions is of vital importance
for a myriad of physiological and technological applications. The mean activity coefficient …

We present a statistical mechanical theory of multi-component fluids, where we consider the
correlation functions of the number densities and the energy density in the grand canonical …

We investigate electric-field effects in dilute electrolytes with nonlinear polarization. As a first
example of such systems, we add a dipolar component with a relatively large dipole moment …

Critical phenomena occur in pure fluids, superfluids, and in binary liquid mixtures having a
miscibility gap ending in a critical point of solution. Of the three, only the binary liquid …
