This experiment will determine the rate at which pore collapse occurs in (compact) Amoprhous Solid Water (ASW), determining the size and shape changes involved in the pore...

Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) are combinations of bulky Lewis acids and bases, which cannot form acid-base complexes due to steric hindrance. They are capable of metal-free H2...

Liquids are commonly known to be incompressible. However, a recently invented class of materials called Porous Liquids, which exhibit permanent porosity in the liquid phase, may...

We aim to perform a preliminary study on the structure of two molecular liquids confined inside the metal organic framework (MOF) copper(II)-benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate...

This experiment will establish the structural changes that occur in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW), a porous material that can be formed by vapour-depositing water onto a cold...

We request 2 days on SANDALS to characterise the temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles as they will be used in a more detailed study on NIMROD in Feburary...

This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure and determine the effect of a short and long alkyl chain length ionic liquid on the nanoscale...

This study will probe the liquid nanostructures of mixtures of two ionic liquids, 4-(hydroxybutyl)pyridinium-bis(trifluorosulfonyl)-imide ([HOC4Py]NTf2) and...

The hydrogen bonding interactions between species in binary liquid systems can have a significant effect on the properties, especially in relation to the pure materials. Binary...

Graphene has recently been used very effectively as a catalyst and catalyst support for a range of industrially relevant reactions. The use of graphene alone is significant as...

Ion channels are present in cell membranes and permit the transport of ions across from the cell interior to the cell exterior (or vice versa), and hence allow chemical and...

This study will probe the liquid nanostructures of mixtures of two ionic liquids, 4-(hydroxybutyl)-pyridinium-bis(trifluorosulfonyl)-imide ([HOC4Py]NTf2) and...

Understanding the structure of liquid reagents and solvents in the catalyst pores is critical to design selective and efficient processes. For example, in the hydrogenation of...

This proposal follows on from earlier studies on ionic liquid-aromatic charge transfer complexes (see Ref. [ ]), and from the investigation of the effects of immobilisation...

Trimethylamine N-Oxide (TMAO) is thought to have the extraordinary ability of allowing organisms to adapt to extreme environments of high pressure, the most famous example being...

Processing of complex biopolymers, particularly proteins such as keratin and silk, has been hindered by the extremely low solubility and thus accessibility to the protein...

There is a huge interest in the properties of water under extreme conditions of temperature, pressure and environment. This interest ranges from the water vapour jets that...

The objective of this research is to understand the detailed structure of water-surfactant solutions as a function of concentration. This is important as these materials form...

Porous liquids are a counter-intuitive new class of porous material consisting of a liquid with permanent, empty holes. They are unique in that they combine the fluidity of...

This proposal aims to study the interactions within a prototypical ionic liquid / co-solvent system. Such systems are currently under investigation as potential solvating media...
