16. This picture is analogous to optically active point defects in solids, where defect states are introduced within the optical band gap of the solid, such that the optical properties of the combined system can be attributed to the defect rather than to the solid.
17. The solvation energy is defined as [E(solute) + E(solvent)] - E(solute + solvent), where E(solute) is the total energy of the isolated solute; E(solvent) is the total energy of the pure solvent; and E(solute + solvent) is the total energy of the solvated system.
