Hydration free energy estimation of small molecules from all-atom simulations was widely investigated in recent years, as it provides an essential test of molecular force fields and our understanding of solvation effects.

The frequencies of the fundamental C—D and C—H stretching band and the overtones have been measured for CDCl3 and CHBr3 in some nonpolar and some slightly polar solvents.We have pointed out that the mechanical anharmonicity of these vibrations is strong and solvent-dependent. Therefore, the approximation [Formula: see text] is not valid for the vibrators considered in this work.The solute–solvent interaction energy is the sum of induction, dispersion, and orientation energies (for polar solvents). Calculations based on the cell model for the liquid state showed that induction energy is of slight influence with respect to dispersion energy, which is greatly responsible for the observed frequency shift.

The solvation thermodynamics of cyclohexane in pure liquid phase and in water is analyzed by means of the theoretical approach developed by Lee. The sum of the work of cavity creation and the dispersive solute–solvent interaction energy reproduces well the experimental Gibbs energy values over the whole temperature range 5–100°C. This implies that the purely structural solvent reorganization is an exactly compensating process in both liquids. The dispersive solute–solvent interaction energy is larger in magnitude in cyclohexane than in water, whereas the work of cavity creation is larger in water than in cyclohexane. Therefore, both terms contrast the transfer of cyclohexane from pure liquid phase to water, determining its hydrophobicity. This mechanism qualitatively corresponds to that operative in the case of benzene.Key words: hydrophobicity, cavity creation, excluded volume, dispersive interactions, enthalpy–entropy compensation.

Abstract Periodic entanglements of filaments and networks, which resemble sponge-like materials, are often found as self-assembled materials. The interaction between the geometry of the assembly and a solvent in its interstices can dictate the geometric configuration of the structure as well as influence macroscopic properties such as swelling and mechanics. In this paper, we show the calculation of the solvation free energy as a function of the solute–solvent interaction from hydrophilic to hydrophobic, for a candidate entanglement of filaments. We do this using the morphometric approach to solvation free energy, a method that disentangles geometric properties from thermodynamic coefficients, which we compute via density functional theory.
