The three-dimensional reference interaction site model of the molecular solvation theory with the Kovalenko–Hirata closure is used to calculate the free energy of solvation of organic solutes in liquid aliphatic ketones. The ketone solvent sites were modeled using a modified united-atom force field. The successful application of these solvation models in calculating ketone–water partition coefficients of a large number of solutes supports the validation and benchmarking reported here.

The Three-Dimensional Reference Interaction Site Model (3D-RISM) with Kovalenko−Hirata (KH) closure is applied to calculate the 1,9-Decadiene/Water partition coefficients for a diverse class of compounds. The liquid state of 1,9-Decadiene is represented with the united atom TraPPE force field parameters. The 3D-RISM-KH computed partition functions are in good agreement with the experimental results. Our computational scheme can be used for a quantitative structure partitioning prediction for decadiene-water system, which has been used in membrane-mimicking of the egg-lecithin/water permeability experiments.
