Abstract
The angular distributions of the water dipoles have been calculated from molecular dynamics runs for the first hydration shells of various ions in 2.2 molal LiJ, LiCl, NaCl, CsCl and CsF solutions and in a 0.55 molal NaCl solution. It is shown how the distributions depend on the size of the shell taken around each ion. The results give no indication for the existence of desoriented water molecules in the immediate neighbourhood of the ions.
