The fraction of times the solute is not associated with the solvent, the monomer fraction, is expressed in terms of (a) the statistics of occupancy of the solvent around the solute in the reference fluid and (b) the Widom factors that arise because of turning on solute-solvent association. Assuming pair-additivity, we expand the Widom factor into a product of Mayer f-functions and the resulting expression is rearranged to reveal a form of the monomer fraction that is analogous to that used within the statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT). The present formulation avoids all graph-theoretic arguments and provides a fresh, more intuitive, perspective on Wertheim\u2019s theory and SAFT. Importantly, multi-body effects are transparently incorporated into the very foundations of the theory. We illustrate the generality of the present approach by considering examples of multiple solvent association to a colloid solute with bonding domains that range from a small patch on the sphere to a Janus particle to a solute whose entire surface is available for association.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1063\/1.4997663","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,28]],"date-time":"2017-09-28T15:29:48Z","timestamp":1506612588000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Quasichemical theory and the description of associating fluids relative to a reference: Multiple bonding of a single site solute"],"prefix":"10.1063","volume":"147","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9902-8377","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Artee","family":"Bansal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Rice University , Houston, Texas 77005-1827, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8789-9041","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Walter G.","family":"Chapman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Rice University , Houston, Texas 77005-1827, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5869-0807","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"D.","family":"Asthagiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Rice University , Houston, Texas 77005-1827, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"317","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023080506484240300_c1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1709","DOI":"10.1021\/ie00104a021","volume":"29","year":"1990","journal-title":"Ind.
