Ion dipole

[andrea guzman 1F]

Are ion dipole interactions an ion interacting with a water molecule or are there any other examples? The example used in lecture was Cl- and H2O but I want to know if there are other example that break away from using H2O as the dipole part of the interaction

When considering the ion-dipole interactions between the anion and cation components of salts and H₂O, another example of this interaction is CaCl₂. The Ca²⁺ ion will have an ion-dipole interaction with the negative O pole of the water molecule. Similarly, the 2 Cl^- ions will result in an ion-dipole interaction with the positive H pole of the water molecule.

The polar solvents can interact with ions, such as chloride ions (Cl-) or other ions with charges, through ion-dipole interactions. The key requirement for an ion-dipole interaction is the presence of a polar molecule or solvent that can align its partially charged regions (dipole) with the charged ion, leading to attractive forces between them. While water is a well-known polar solvent that exhibits ion-dipole interactions, many other polar solvents can also participate in such interactions with ions.
