solvated

Wrapped in solvent

Solvated describes a molecule or ion that has become surrounded by solvent molecules.

When a substance dissolves, solvent molecules cluster around the dissolved particles, stabilizing them in solution: The solvated sodium ions moved freely through the water.

In water specifically, the process is called hydration, making solvated the broader term covering any solvent.
