A large breath of clathrate-like cages has been proposed as the very first hydration shell of alkanes. The cages include canonical structures commonly found in clathrate hydrates and many others,...

Indications from a molecular dynamics simulation of a 2.2 molal LiI solution of the existence of a second hydration shell of Li+ have been checked by an x-ray investigation of the same solution. The scattering data are analysed via partial structure functions and radial distribution functions which have been obtained from a model fitted to the total structure function. Experiment and simulation agree on first neighbor ion-water distances. An octahedral arrangement of six water molecules in the first hydration shell of Li+ and additional twelve water molecules in the second shell have been verified by the experiment.

Abstract A molecular dynamics simulation of a 2.2 molal aqueous CsF solution has been performed employing the ST2 water model. The basic periodic cube with a sidelength of 18.50 Å contained 200 water molecules, and 8 ions of each kind, corresponding to an experimental density of 1.26 g/cm3. The simulation extended over 6.5 ps with an average temperature of 307 K. The structure of the solution is discussed by means of radial distribution functions and the orientation of the water molecules. The computed hydration numbers in the first shell of Cs+ and F- are 7.9 and 6.8, respectively; the corresponding first hydration shell radii are 3.22 A and 2.64 A, respectively. Values for the hydration shell energies and the heat of solution have been calculated.

Water exchange between the first and second hydration shell is essential for the role of Mg2+ in biochemical processes. In order to provide microscopic insights into the exchange mechanism, we resolve the exchange pathways by all-atom molecular dynamics simulations and transition path sampling. Since the exchange kinetics relies on the choice of the water model and the ionic force field, we systematically investigate the influence of seven different polarizable and non-polarizable water and three different Mg2+ models. In all cases, water exchange can occur either via an indirect or direct mechanism (exchanging molecules occupy different/same position on water octahedron). In addition, the results reveal a crossover from an interchange dissociative (Id) to an associative (Ia) reaction mechanism dependent on the range of the Mg2+-water interaction potential of the respective force field. Standard non-polarizable force fields follow the Id mechanism in agreement with experimental results. By contrast, polarizable and long-ranged non-polarizable force fields follow the Ia mechanism. Our results provide a comprehensive view on the influence of the water model and ionic force field on the exchange dynamics and the foundation to assess the choice of the force field in biomolecular simulations.
