Single-Ion Solvation: Experimental and Theoretical Approaches to Elusive Thermodynamic Quantities (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781847551870)

Philippe H?enberger, previously Assistant Professor, is now a Senior Scientist at the Institute of Physical Chemistry, ETH Z?ich (ETHZ). He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Lausanne and his PhD at ETHZ followed by a period of time at UCSD, San Diego as a post-doctoral fellow. He has received numerous undergraduate and graduate awards including the Ruzicka Prize in 2008 and has been awarded a number of research grants. With countless published papers and oral presentations at key international conferences, he is regarded as a world renowned expert in his field.

Maria Reif is at the Institute of Physical Chemistry, ETH Z?ich (ETHZ). She completed her Bachelor studies at the Technische Universit, M?chen and her Master studies in Molecular Modelling in the Theoretical Chemistry Group at the University of Cardiff. She recently finished her PhD in the Group for Computer-Assisted Chemistry at ETHZ. Her research interests are in the properties of single ions in solution (free energies of solvation and its derivative properties); parameterisation of ions against (methodology-independent) hydration free energies; testing of ion parameter sets to validate a value for the proton hydration free energy; asymmetric solvation effects in different solvents and approximate-electrostatics artefacts on charge-charge interactions.
