The statistical errors of ΔGhydr obtained via TI are below 0.3 kJ mol−1.

a

‘Partitioning’ values are based on partitioning between vapor and liquid water, obtained from ref [3]; TI values are calculated in the current manuscript using Thermodynamic Integration.

b

Values obtained by TI reducing the interaction strength between polarizable water and other beads to 100%, 95%, and 92% of the standard interaction of a P4 particle type.

c

Hydration free energy of the polarizable water model.

d

Interaction level defined in Table 3.
