1. Introduction Several years ago Hubbard and Onsager (HO) [l] extended Debye’s formula for diekctric rehucation in polar liquids [2] to ahow for coupling with hydrodynamic flow_ De Gennes [3] had suggested earlier that Debye’s ‘relarration mechanism,~ based on IoeaI rotational diffusion of polar moIecuIes~ could be supplemented by non-local transIationaI diffusion of polar molecules down the gradient of the non-equiIibrium polarization field. We recentIy developed this concept and proposed a simple generalization of Debye’s equatiotr to allow for both relaxation channeis {4]_ This formahsm, which is appIicabIe whenever the gradients in the.otientational pblarization are sufficientIy large (eg in the vicinity of a solvated ion) has already been used by van de; Zwan and Hyn&s [5] to. anaiysez a variety of problems in the are&of solution kinetics_ A substantial reduction in dielectric friction has been found in several contexts [S] and the polarization charge in the vicinity. of an ion whose charge is suddeniy quenched can decay much faster than expected from the Debye charmel alone

-he impact of the translation reIax&ion channel on the limiting mobihties of ions in polar solvents_ The ion’s motion creates a transient non-equilibrium orientational polarization in the xkinity of its path. Born’s notion [6] that the energy dissipated by the reiaxation of this polarization is associated with a frictionaI force on the ion which enhances the viscous friction, has recently experienced considerable development r/l at both the continuum [1,4,S-121 and moIeeuIar 113-151 Ievek Whereas mokcuIar theorics of pohuization dynamics in the vicinity of ions have emphasized the translational motions of solvent moIecules_ previ-. ous continuum models [1,8-121 -assumed that non-equihbrium orientational~ ~poIari+ation relaxed Sorely *tit& the -Debye char&I and included solvent translation only insofar as dieIe+ic i-eIaxation is coupkd to hydrodynamic flow. The present two-channel continuum model [4] clearly helps to reconciIe the -macroscopic and microscopic descriptionsIn section 2 we review the equations of motion and the corresponding dissipation ~function. We demonstrate tbac with appropriate electrohydk. dynamic. boundary conditions, the equations of motion can be deduced from the dissipation funcB-V_

For this regime, section 3 demonstratei how the fundamentaI equations and boundary conditions can be manipulated to define the probIem mathemakaIIy and to provide a convenient computational algorithm. FinaIIy, in section 4, we compare the ionic frictional coefficient when both channels for diekctric rektxation are operating with the earlier rest&s of Hubbard and Onsager [l] based on the Debye channel alone

Hynes [5] who examined diekctric friction on a charge moving along the axis of an infinite cylindrical cavity surrounded by a dielectric Experimental data for Iimiting conductivities of ions in weakIy associated pohu solvents show that the HO frictional coefficients underestimate the drag due to the solvent, so the incorporation of polarization diffusion actually broadens the gap between predicted and experimental conductivities Nevertheks, when sIip boundary conditions are used. the present model based on spatially homogeuneous solvent properties qualitatively reproduces the observed [Sj minimum value when the frictional coefficient is pIot:ed as a function of ionic radius_ Refatively simpIe continuum models of didectric friction still emerge when the assumption of a spatially homogeneous solvent is relaxed [12]. A recent examination of the effect of solvent electrostriction on ionic mobilit& [19] shows that the enhanced solvent density in the vicinity of the ion increases the viscous drag of weakIy associated solvents quite appreciably and therefore counter: acts the effect of poIa.rization diffusion AIthough sirnpie -continuum treatments may successfuIIy model rather general perturbations of the static and dynamic solvent properties they. disregard more specific factors, such as. s4ucture making/ breakiug and solvent residence times_inthe coordination shell [20,21), which caninfIuenCethe IocaI viscosity [21.U].
