This book deals with a subject that has been studied since the
beginning of physical chemistry. Despite the thousands of articles
and scores of books devoted to solvation thermodynamics, I feel
that some fundamen tal and well-established concepts underlying the
traditional approach to this subject are not satisfactory and need
revision. The main reason for this need is that solvation
thermodynamics has traditionally been treated in the context of
classical (macroscopic) ther modynamics alone. However, solvation
is inherently a molecular pro cess, dependent upon local rather
than macroscopic properties of the system. Therefore, the starting
point should be based on statistical mechanical methods. For many
years it has been believed that certain thermodynamic quantities,
such as the standard free energy (or enthalpy or entropy) of
solution, may be used as measures of the corresponding functions of
solvation of a given solute in a given solvent. I first challenged
this notion in a paper published in 1978 based on analysis at the
molecular level. During the past ten years, I have introduced
several new quantities which, in my opinion, should replace the
conventional measures of solvation thermodynamics. To avoid
confusing the new quantities with those referred to conventionally
in the literature as standard quantities of solvation, I called
these "nonconventional," "generalized," and "local" standard
quantities and attempted to point out the advantages of these new
quantities over the conventional ones."
