Solvent similarity index
Literature Information
Mark D. Driver, Christopher A. Hunter
The Solvent Similarity Index (SSI) is a quantitative parameter we introduce for the comparison of the solvation properties of any solvent or solvent mixture. The Surface Site Interaction Model for Liquids at Equilibrium (SSIMPLE) was used to calculate the free energy of solvation of a single Surface Site Interaction Point (SSIP) on a solute. The SSIP representation of molecular surfaces was used to calculate the free energy of solvation for all possible solute polarities, generating a unique solvation profile for any solvent or solvent mixture. Quantitative comparison of the solvation profiles of two solvents was used as the basis for calculating the solvation similarity index. Values of SSI were calculated for all pairwise comparisons of 261 pure solvents at 298 K, and the results were used to classify solvents into groups according to their solvation properties. Applications to understanding the solvation properties of binary solvent mixtures and for identification of alternative solvents are illustrated.

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.
