Popis: Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study solvation and solvation dynamics of a classic charge in a series of ethers of increasing molecular weights, CH3(CH2OCH2)nH with n=1, 2, and 4. Equilibrium structures of the solvated species, ion mobility, linear response solvation functions, and nonequilibrium solvation are studied and compared with the corresponding results for a simple (Stockmayer) fluid. For a typical positive ion, Na+, solvation in these systems is found to belong to the nonlinear response regime; the nonlinear behavior is associated with the specific binding of the cation to the negative oxygen sites. Solvation dynamics in the timescale studied (t
