✦ Synopsis

The extent of correlations between functional groups that can form hydrogen bonds with solvent molecules has been estimated. From the observed distance distribution of functional groups on the surfaces of several proteins, and from the extent of correlation between pairs of such functional groups, we conclude that the assumption of independence of functional groups made in part I is probably a good approximation. The reason is that even when correlations exist there is, on average, cancellation of the positive and negative correlations. The relevance of hydrogen bonding with the solvent to the relative stability of different conformers of biopolymers is also indicated.

## Abstract The thermodynamic functions of biopolymer hydration were investigated by multitemperature vapor pressure studies. Desorption measurements were performed that allowed determination of reversible isotherms in the hydration range of 0.1 to 0.3–0.5 g H~2~O/g dry polymer. These isotherms are

Electrospray mass spectrometric (ESMS) studies of solutions of alkali metal chlorides have shown that the value of the solvation energy is a key parameter in the ion yield in ESMS. The ESMS response factor, 4, of the ion is linked to the solvation energy, EM, of the ion by a simple mathematical rela

## Abstract The crystal structure of 2‐dimethylaminobenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate has been determined at 183 K by X‐ray diffraction. The cation is very nearly planar, the strong steric interaction between the __ortho__‐groups being diminished by in‐plane angular distoritions.
