Monte Carlo simulations have been carried out on dilute aqueous solutions of Li+, Na+, F", and Cl" at 25 C and1 atm, using recently developed transferable intermolecular potential functions. The calculated heats of solution, volumes of solution, coordination numbers, and structural results compare favorablywith available experimentaldata. The calculated energies have been partitioned into components representing (i) solute-first solvent shell,(ii) solute-bulk solvent,(iii) first shell-first shell,(iv) first shell-bulk, and (v) bulk-bulk interactions. Comparison of these components with the corresponding results obtained for liquid water provides detailed insight into thenature of solvent reorganization in the different solutions, complementing the structural information provided by hydrogen bonding analyses. The most significant structural consequence is the formation of the first solvation shell, whose solvent molecules exhibit net mutual repulsion. Although the normal hydrogen bonding network of water is established rapidly beyond the first shell, some disruption in the first shell-bulk water interaction is evident, particularly in the Li+ and Na+ solutions. In all the solutions, the reorganization associated with the first-shell molecules constitutes the major component of the total solvent reorganization energy. The energetics of the ion and the first solvent shell are also compared with gas-phase results on small ion-water clusters. The degree to which these values follow the trends intotal heats of solution is examined.Fresh insights into the nature of solvation in electrolytic solutions have come in the past decade from gas-phase experiments on ion-molecule clusters. 1, 2 The precise thermodynamic data ob-tained in this way have been complemented by structural char-acterization of the complexes with use of ab initio quantum mechanical methods. 3, 4 The extent to which these results parallel those for dilute solutions is of considerable significance. In particular, it is important to know how well the trends in heats of solution of different ions in a given solvent are reproduced by
