Ion specificity at solvent surfaces: concentration depth profiles of monovalent inorganic ions
The distribution of inorganic ions at the vapour-solvent interface is strongly solvent dependent. Concepts often used for explaining specific ion effects such as solvated ion size, ion polarisability, desolvation energy, the law of matching affinity, electrostatic and dispersion interactions are not able to describe in isolation the observed phenomena presented here. The results are described by a multistage approach in which the surface tension of the solvent is the dominant factor.
