Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a benzenelike solute in acetonitrile and CO2 (298 K and 52.18 cm3/mol) are used to investigate the molecular basis of solvation dynamics in polar and nondipolar solvents. The solvation response to various charge rearrangements within the benzene solute are simulated in order to mimic the type of electrostatic solvation observed in typical experimental systems. From equilibrium MD simulations the solvation time correlation function [TCF; C(t)] and the corresponding solvation velocity TCF [G(t)] are used to study the mechanisms underlying time-dependent solvation within the linear response limit. Decomposition of G(t) into contributions from rotational and translational solvent velocities reveals that the relative mix of these two types of motion is quite similar in the two solvents but is strongly dependent on the multipolar order (m) of the solute perturbation. The contribution of translational solvent motions to both the short and long time dynamics of C(t) increase...
