Abstract
The role of the nonlocal dielectric response of a polar solvent in the fundamental ion—solvent and ion—ion interactions is discussed. A number of consequences of the nonlocal screening theory are reviewed both for homogeneous and interfacial systems. This review article is devoted to a discussion of some recent ideas concerning the description of the solvent in the theory of electrolytes. It will be confined mostly by protic (aqueous and nonaqueous) solvents with a developed structure of hydrogen bonds. The emphasis will be given to physical consideration, illustrative estimates and the questions to be answered. Rigorous analysis which has been presented in published papers will not be considered here, but the references may be helpful in restoring the balance.
