Shell 1 is the solvent layer from 0 to 0.556 nm from the center of a peptide hydrogen atom. Shell 2 is the solvent layer from 0.556 to 1.112 nm, while Shell 3 includes the solvent layer from 1.112 to 1.657 nm. A rapidly rotating HFIP molecule is represented by a sphere 0.556 in diameter.26 The columns labeled HFIP provide the calculated average number of solvent fluorine atoms in a given shell. These atoms may or may not be on the same HFIP molecules. Mean deviations from the average varied but were of the order ±20% for Shell 1 and ±2% for Shells 2 and 3. A water-to-HFIP ratio greater than 2.56 corresponds to the local solvent mixture being enriched in water.
