Correlation Between Ionization and Hydration Energies

Calculations of hydration energies are extremely important in physical, chemical, and life sciences, and therefore their values need to be accurately determined if these energies were to be used to derive the proper and correct physico-chemical mechanisms. Here, we prove the existence of absolute correlation between ionization and hydration energies for transition metal cations. The said absolute correlation can be exploited in an unambiguous manner to verify the calculated hydration energies for divalent and trivalent transition metal cations.
