In order to validate the scheme for charged solutes, solute-solvent interaction energies as well as solvation free energies were calculated for the Na + and Cl -ions in water. Unlike the properties of neutral solutes, the charge-solvent interaction energies have proven very sensitive to small discrepancies in the local density or polarization. Therefore, the use of the correction scheme is crucial in this case. Applying a Coulomb correction to the energies, the FG and CG+B energies are found to be in good agreement, which suggests that the AdSoS scheme is able to reproduce solutesolvent interaction energies even for charged species. Solvation free energies ∆G corr calculated with the CG+B scheme were within 12 kJ mol -1 from the FG reference.
