Abstract

Indications from a molecular dynamics simulation of a 2.2 molal LiI solution of the existence of a second hydration shell of Li+ have been checked by an x-ray investigation of the same solution. The scattering data are analysed via partial structure functions and radial distribution functions which have been obtained from a model fitted to the total structure function. Experiment and simulation agree on first neighbor ion-water distances. An octahedral arrangement of six water molecules in the first hydration shell of Li+ and additional twelve water molecules in the second shell have been verified by the experiment.
