Solvation in homogeneous and heterogeneous media

A short account on solvation of solute in Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Media has been presented. Basic concepts of specific and nonspecific interactions with some specific examples are discussed based on Koppel and Palm (KP) and Abaham, Kamlet and Taft (AKT) approaches. List of AKT parameters describing specific and non-specific solvation parameters for homogeneous media (pure solvents) and heterogeneous media (micelles) has been presented in tables.
