Graphical Abstract

Ladungsunterschiede: Wasser wird oft als dielektrisches Kontinuum modelliert, aber die molekulare Struktur von Wasser ist asymmetrisch. Zwei Ionen mit praktisch derselben Größe, Form und Struktur, aber entgegengesetzter Ladung wurden untersucht, um zu prüfen, ob Ladung die Wasserstrukturierung grundlegend beeinflusst. Die spektroskopischen Daten für die Hydratations- und Grenzflächenstrukturen erwiesen sich als bemerkenswert verschieden für entgegengesetzte Ladungen.
