Hydration free energies and hydration asymmetries for different rods with five and six members. Shown are results for the indicated different linear cases for selected five- and six-element rods. Red spheres are negatively charged, blue are positively charged, and gray are neutral. The asymmetry free energy is measured as the difference in hydration free energies between the molecule shown, and its analog with the sign of the charges reversed.
