I didn't read the rest of this mail in much detail, but for
monoatomic ions at least you can pick a value for e and then
find a corresponding value of r that will match the experimental
data. Put another way, the Aqvist parameters for ions are
relatively arbitrary in that the same results can be obtained
with a continuum of other parameters.
