Hydrophobic Solvation: Aqueous Methane Solutions
Konrod, Oliver; Lankau, Timm
Journal of Chemical Education, v84 n5 p864 May 2007
A basic introduction to concept of a solvation shell around an apolar solute as well as its detection is presented. The hydrophobic solvation of toluene is found to be a good teaching example which connects macroscopic, phenomenological thermodynamic results with an atomistic point of view.
