Abstract

Abstract Statistical geometry is employed for a quantitative description of deviations from regular octahedrality of water around monovalent ions and from regular tetrahedrality of solvent water around water molecules. For these deviations a new criterion is presented by taking into account octahedral and tetrahedral spatial symmetry groups. A geometrical definition of structure making and structure breaking is proposed and illustrated on the basis of molecular dynamics simulations of 2.2 molal aqueous KCl and LiI solutions with the flexible BJH model of water.
