F. Hirata, CHEMICAL PROCESSES IN SOLUTION STUDIED BY AN INTEGRAL-EQUATION THEORYOF MOLECULAR LIQUIDS, Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 71(7), 1998, pp. 1483-1499
A variety of chemical processes in solution is explored theoretically
by means of the extended RISM equation, an integral equation theory of
molecular liquids. The chemical processes include the classical probl
em of ion hydration, solvent induced electronic structure change and c
hemical reactivity in solution, protein folding, and dynamics of solve
nt as well as solvated ions. A special emphasis is laid on the ability
of the theory to account for chemical specificities of molecules, whi
ch is crucial for any chemical processes in solution.
