U(r; λ) potential energy curve for the interaction of a Na+ ion with a TIP3P water oxygen as a function of separation distance r for several values of λ in the Na+ → 0 transformation (Table 4). U(r; λ) curves are shown for the alchemical transformation pathways/softcore potentials summarized in Table 3.
