Description
A peer-reviewed research article from Europe PMC (2026). SignificanceA prevailing dogma categorizes salts as structure-makers or structure-breakers to explain transport properties, but this classification lacks a clear molecular origin. Hydrogen bonds (HBs) are lost in the first hydration shell of ions but remain unaltered beyond it. The water–water energy is destabilized due to both HB loss and the disruption of dipole–dipole correlations imposed by the electric field of ions.
