Re^2: defines solvent

Hi dear reader,
I've been digging through the literature trying to find a equation for specifying values of solvent radius:
r= (V/8*Na) ^ (1/3)
Where r is the solvent radius (Angstroms), V is solvent molar volume (m3/mol), and Na is Avogadro's constant
The values are causing me a headache. They are not as same as literature reports.
