Abstract

Molecular statistical thermodynamic models of hydration for chemistry and biophysics
have advanced abruptly in recent years With liquid water as solvent, salvation phenomena
are classified as either hydrophobic or hydrophilic effects Recent progress in treatment
of hydrophilic effects have been motivated by continuum dielectric models interpreted
as a modelistic implementation of second order perturbation theory New results testing
that perturbation theory of hydrophilic effects are presented and discussed Recent
progress in treatment of hydrophobic effects has been achieved by applying information
theory to discover models of packing effects in dense liquids The simplest models
to which those ideas lead are presented and discussed
