By an IUPAC definition, solvation is an interaction of a solute with the solvent, which leads to stabilization of the solute species in the 展开

The solvation process will be thermodynamically favored only if the overall Gibbs energy of the solution is decreased, compared to the Gibbs energy of the separated solvent … 展开

Due to the importance of the effects of solvation on the structure of macromolecules, early computer simulations which attempted to model their behaviors without including the effects of solvent (in vacuo) could yield poor results when compared with … 展开
