Size dependence of solvation Gibbs energies: A critique and a rebuttal of some recent publications
The definition of the solvation Gibbs energy of a solute A in any solvent is repeated in exactly the same way as was done almost 20 years ago. Some recent publications that challenged this definition and suggestion "correction" terms; are critically examined. It is shown that these newly suggested quantities are irrelevant to the solvation process.
