Abstract:
The molecular solvation theory in the form of the Three-Dimensional Reference Interaction Site Model (3D-RISM) with Kovalenko-Hirata (KH) closure relation is benchmarked for use with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as solvent for (bio)-chemical simulation within the framework of integral equation formalism. Several force field parameters have been tested to correctly reproduce solvation free energy in DMSO, ion solvation in DMSO, and DMSO coordination prediction. Our findings establish a united atom (UA) type parameterization as the best model of DMSO for use in 3D-RISM-KH theory based calculations.

Solubility
A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of a solvent, the major component, and a solute, the minor component. The physical state of a solution—solid, liquid, or gas—is typically the same as that of the solvent. Solute concentrations are often described with qualitative terms such as dilute (of relatively low concentration) and concentrated (of relatively high concentration).
In a solution, the solute particles (molecules,...

Intermolecular Forces in Solutions
When the strengths of the intermolecular forces of attraction between solute and solvent species in a solution are no different than those present in the separated components, the solution is formed with no accompanying energy change. Such a solution is called an ideal solution. A mixture of ideal gases (or gases such as helium and argon,...
