On the theory of dipolar fluids and ion-dipole mixtures

Abstract

The Stillinger-Lovett condition for the second moment of ion-ion distribution functions is obtained from first principles for an ion-dipole mixture. The Debye-Hückel form for the asymptotic behavior of the potential of mean force between ions is shown to emerge for arbitrary density of the dipolar solvent in the limit of low ionic concentration. © 1978 American Institute of Physics.
