These are the only parameters I know of:
dx.doi.org/10.1021/jp309150r
But while they reproduce hydration free energies quite well, realize that no one
has looked at their interactions with proteins, and additive models for any
multivalent species are intrinsically very crude and therefore standard MM
approaches may be inappropriate, depending on what you're trying to do. QM/MM
is much more common in these cases.
