An extensive molecular-based study of ion-pair formation in near-critical dilute aqueous NaCl solutions is performed along three near- (super- and sub-) critical isotherms and from liquidlike to steamlike densities. The study encompasses the determination of the ion-pair association constant via potential of mean force calculations. The main goal is to find answers to some relevant questions regarding the thermodynamic and corresponding microscopic behavior of the ion-pair formation at steamlike densities, where experimental data are extremely difficult to obtain accurately. A direct comparison is made between simulation, theoretical developments, and experiment to aid the interpretation of experimental data and their macroscopic modeling.

Note that there are small discrepancies in the reported LJ force fields for the ion–water interactions as reported by Lee et al. (Ref. 46). There is a clear misprint in i.e., it reads There are also no consistent tabulations of the parameters for the sodium ion, i.e., compare Tables I in Refs. 43 and 44
