The modified behavior of the water molecules in the vicinity of an ion in aqueous solution and its influence on the macroscopic physical properties of the solution is one of the long-standing interests of physical chemistry.’ Ions have been recognized as “structure-making” or “structure-breaking” in a phenomenological way, by comparing their observed effect upon the macroscopic properties with that predicted by the classical hydration shell models introduced by Frank and This categorization has proven a most useful guide to predicting trends in a wide range of experiments, but the establishment of a common quantitative description has proven more difficult. Attempts to substantiate these concepts by directly examining, a t the molecular level, the state of the water molecules around an ion are relatively recent; most notable is the work of Hertz4 (NMR) and Enderby and Nielson’ (neutrons and X rays) and their coworkers. The aqueous environment around an ion is also discussed in the context of the interaction of ions with other molecules, as in electron-transfer reactions, or in their interaction with larger bodies, such as proteins, membranes, and electrodes6 Computer simulation studies have much to offer in helping to bring together the information that is available from these different strands of experimental investigation. In this article we will describe how the results of simulations of alkali and halide ions in water have been tied together with the results of molecular-level experiments on electrolyte solutions and used to relate the picture that emerges to the classical concept of hydration. Thanks to the comprehensive neutron diffraction experiments, using the isotope difference technique, which have been performed on ionic solutions by Enderby and coworker^,^*^ detailed information on the arrangement of the water molecules around an ion is available. The comparison of these data with simulation results has already
