Preferred Label : solvation energy;
IUPAC definition : The change in Gibbs energy when an ion or molecule is transferred from a vacuum (or
the gas phase) to a solvent. The main contributions to the solvation energy come from:
ol li the cavitation energy of formation of the hole which preserves the dissolved
species in the solvent; /li li the orientation energy of partial orientation of
the dipoles; /li li the isotropic interaction energy of electrostatic and dispersion
origin; and /li li the anisotropic energy of specific interactions, i e.g. /i
hydrogen bonds, donor-acceptor interactions i etc. /i /li /ol ;
