Influence of co-non-solvency on hydrophobic molecules driven by excluded volume effect
Literature Information
We demonstrate by molecular dynamics simulation that co-non-solvency manifests itself in the solvent-induced interaction between three hydrophobes, methane, propane and neopentane, in methanol–water mixtures. Decomposition of the potential of mean force, based on the potential distribution theorem, clearly shows that the solute–solvent entropic change is responsible for stabilizing the aggregation of these hydrophobic molecules. Furthermore, we show that the entropic change pertains to the excluded volume effect.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
