solvatación
- When sugar dissolves in tea, solvation occurs as the molecules of the sugar are surrounded by the tea molecules.
- solvation shell
Examples
-
Simulating a sufficient number of water molecules to represent a realistic water solvation shell around the protein was computationally too demanding for full DFT calculations.
Academic text (2001) -
Both are surrounded by a close-packed layer of solvent molecules, their solvation shell.
Academic text (2001) -
So it's like solvation, except it happens within the molecule rather than between molecules.
-
So let's represent that solute solvation reaction.
-
Using the SMD solvation model, we can then take into account the fact that the complexes and unreacted donor molecules are in the liquid state.

Possible future developments include the incorporation of the ONIOM method into the polarized continuum model for solvation 66.
Academic text (2001) -
The effects of localized interaction of the solute with the first solvation shell could then be explicitly considered, and the effects of the continuum on the solute would be less prone to errors.
Academic text (2001) -
Here we model the gas-liquid isotope exchange using the SMD implicit solvation model 46-48, where the solution phase is approximated as neat anisole.
Academic text (2018) -
With respect to liquid water itself, CPMD simulations have shown that it can be treated at a reasonably accurate level within some of the DFT-GGA schemes 18-20; structural and mobility properties, as well as the solvation of diverse ions, have been simulated successfully (see for example 21 and 22).
Academic text (2001) -
In the process of solvation, water molecules surround and interact with sodium ions to create a saline solution.

Etymology
Solvation comes from the Latin root solv- meaning 'to loosen' or 'to free', the same root you see in solve and solution. So a helpful image is the solvent 'loosening' and wrapping around the solute particles to hold and stabilise them — that is why solvation means the solvent surrounding and interacting with the solute.
