Weakly Hydrated Solute of Mixed Hydrophobic–Hydrophilic Nature

Abstract

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a commonly used and invaluable tool in studies of solvation phenomena in aqueous solutions. Concurrently, density functional theory calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations deliver the solvation shell picture at the molecular detail level. The mentioned techniques allowed us to gain insights into the structure and energy of the hydrogen bonding network of water molecules around methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). In the hydration sphere of MSM, there are two types of populations of water molecules: a significant share of water molecules weakly bonded to the sulfone group and a smaller share of water molecules strongly bonded to each other around the methyl groups of MSM. The very weak hydrogen bond of water molecules with the hydrophilic group causes the extended network of water hydrogen bonds to be not "anchored" on the sulfone group, and consequently, the MSM hydration shell is labile.
