Abstract: We report a new strategy to parametrize effective ion-ion 
potentials for implicit solvent simulations of charged systems. The 
effective potential includes a pair term and a Coulomb term that by 
means of a concentration dependent dielectric permittivity takes into 
account multibody effects. We demonstrate that this approach allows us 
to accurately reproduce the solution osmotic properties and the ion 
coordination up to concentrations of 2.8 M aqueous NaCl.
