solvation

(sɒlˈveɪʃən)
n
(Chemistry) the process in which there is some chemical association between the molecules of a solute and those of the solvent. An example is an aqueous solution of copper sulphate which contains complex ions of the type [Cu(H2O)4]2+

The identification of the mineral was assessed according to the position of basal reflection 001 in three patterns: i) natural sample, ii) after solvation in the presence of ethylene glycol for 24h and iii) after heating at 500 [degrees]C for 2 h.
According to Kwon, M-Ink contains three ingredients: magnetic nanoparticles 100 to 200 nanometres across, a solvation liquid, and a resin.
A number of factors which make the anions more difficult for binding to synthetic receptors than the cations, are size, shape and free energy of solvation. Anions are structurally diverse and are larger than their isoelectronic cations.
Nonetheless, it is unlikely that the presence of ions in the oceans will dramatically alter the conclusions reached herein, even though the presence of ions can produce small changes in the first solvation shell [17, 18].
Further, apparent molar compressibility, apparent molar volume and solvation number have been evaluated.
Kebarle's work from 1963 to this day created the field of gas phase acidity/basicity and allowed a step-by-step thermodynamic analysis of the process of ion solvation. Kebarle's work, which is discussed in any treatise on solution chemistry or physical organic chemistry, is Nobel calibre.
