Abstract
The absolute hydration free energies of ions, ion-water clusters and the quasichemical theory were discussed. It was found that the hydration free energies of neutral pairs computed were in good agreement with experimental results. The analysis showed that the calculated absolute hydration free energies and the excess chemical potentials deviated consistently from tabulated hydration free energies based on ion-water cluster data.
