Abstract
A mechanism of solvophobic interactions based on the concept that the elastic spatial hydrogen-bond network forces out dissolved solvophobic species or the solvophobic moiety of molecules and causes them to aggregate was proposed. The elasticity of the spatial network was estimated based on the isothermal compressibility, compression modulus, and instantaneous shear modulus (a quantity that characterizes structural relaxation). It was concluded that the elasticity of the spatial hydrogen-bond network is the driving force of solvophobic interactions.
