We optimize force fields for H3O+ and OH- that reproduce the experimental solvation free energies and the activities of H3O+ Cl- and Na+OH- solutions up to concentrations of 1.5 mol/l. The force fields are optimized with respect to the partial charge on the hydrogen atoms and the Lennard-Jones parameters of the oxygen atoms. Remarkably, the partial charge on the hydrogen atom of the optimized H3O+ force field is 0.8 +/- 0.1 vertical bar e vertical bar-significantly higher than the value typically used for nonpolarizable water models and H-3(O)+ force fields. In contrast, the optimal partial charge on the hydrogen atom of OH- turns out to be zero. Standard combination rules can be used for H3O+Cl- solutions, while for Na+OH- solutions, we need to significantly increase the effective anion-cation Lennard-Jones radius. While highlighting the importance of intramolecular electrostatics, our results show that it is possible to generate thermodynamically consistent force fields without using atomic polarizability.
