With a goal of determining an absolute free energy scale for ion hydration, quasi-chemical theory and ab initio quantum mechanical simulations are employed to obtain an accurate value for the bulk hydration free energy of the Na+ion. The free energy is partitioned into three parts: 1) the inner-shell or chemical contribution that includes direct interactions of the ion with nearby waters, 2) the packing free energy that is the work to produce a cavity of size λ in water, and 3) the long-range contribution that involves all interactions outside the inner shell. The interfacial potential contribution to the free energy resides in the long-range term. By averaging cation and anion data for that contribution, cumulant terms of all odd orders in the electrostatic potential are removed. The computed total is then the bulk hydration free energy. Comparison with the experimentally derived real hydration free energy produces an effective surface potential of water in the range −0.4 to −0.5 V. The result is consistent with a variety of experiments concerning acid–base chemistry, ion distributions near hydrophobic interfaces, and electric fields near the surface of water droplets.

<div>We report a calculation scheme on water molecular dipole and quadrupole moments in the liquid phase through a Deep Neural Network (DNN) model. Employing the the Maximally Localized Wannier Functions (MLWF) for the valence electrons, we obtain the water moments through a post-process on trajectories from \textit{ab-initio} molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations at the density functional theory (DFT) level. In the framework of the deep potential molecular dynamics (DPMD), we develop a scheme to train a DNN with the AIMD moments data. Applying the model, we calculate the contributions from water dipole and quadrupole moments to the electrostatic potential at the center of a cavity of radius 4.1 \AA\ as -3.87 V, referenced to the average potential in the bulk-like liquid region.</div><div>To unravel the ion-independent water effective local potential contribution to the ion hydration free energy, we estimate the 3rd cumulant term as -0.22 V from simulations totally over 6 ns, a time-scale inaccessible for AIMD calculations. </div>

The equilibria RNH3+(H2O)n−1 + H2O = RNH3+(H2O)n were measured for R = CH3, C2H5, and CF3CH2 from n = 1 to n = 3 with a pulsed electron beam high ion source pressure mass spectrometer. The proton and hydrate transfer equilibria CH3NH3+(H2O)n + C2H5NH2 = CH3NH2 + C2H5NH3+(H2O)n were measured for n = 0 to n = 3. These data allow the evaluation of ΔH0 and ΔG0 for the reactions: R0NH3+(H2O)n + RNH3+ = R0NH3+ + RNH3+(H2O)n. ΔH0 = δΔH00,n(RNH3+), ΔG = δΔG00,n(RNH3+). These data are compared with δΔE0,3 (STO-3G) evaluated by Hehre and Taft. In general good agreement is observed at n = 3. The δΔH00,3(RNH3+) ≈ δΔE0,3(RNH3+) are also found close to the ion hydration free energy difference in aqueous solutions.
