“…Firstly, in these explicit-solvent models, it has played the role of accounting for ion-solvent interactions (as claimed, e.g., in Refs. 4,16,17) and, as such, it has been used in conjunction with a term for ion-ion interactions that was either a Debye-Hückel (DH) or a mean spherical approximation (MSA) term, both of which being theories regarding the solvent as a dielectric continuum. The latter feature contrasts with the type of models (with explicitsolvent) in which the "Born" term is usually employed.…”
