摘要: Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the dissolution of water into an adjacent, immiscible organic liquid phase. Equilibrium thermodynamic and structural properties calculated during transfer molecule(s) across interface using umbrella sampling. The net free energy agrees reasonably well with experimental solubility values. We find that molecules “prefer” adjacent phase one-at-a-time, without co-transfer hydration shell, as in case evaporation. To mechanism nitrobenzene, we collected over 400 independent events. Analysis these trajectories suggests is facilitated by interfacial protrusions phase, where one molecule at tip protrusion enters breakup a single hydrogen bond.
