Understanding precrystallisation of MgSO4 through total neutron scattering.
MgSO4 (and its numerous hydrates) is an important system industrially and has become a model system for fundamental crystallisation studies [4]. By studying an aqueous solution,... -

Comparing peptide folding states in non-aqueous and aqueous solutions
How proteins fold from their linear sequence into their functional structures is still not understood and the misfolding of proteins is linked to a variety of diseases - such as... -
Using small angle neutron diffraction to describe the status of water in solu...
Fish oocytes and embryos are complex cryobiological objects for which, successful cryopreservation has still not been achieved. This circumstance seriously restricts the... -
Solution structures of aqua complexes of uranium in different oxidation states
The safe storage of spent nuclear fuels in an underground repository requires the fundamental chemistry to be well understood so predictions of solubility behaviour over 100,000... -
Investigation of co-solvency and co-nonsolvency effects, based on the structu...
Co-solvency is a phenomenon where a small quantity of co-solvent is added to a bulk solvent to enhance the solubility of a desired solute in the mixture. Correspondingly, there... -
Molecular interactions of cimetidine and water in solution
Active pharmaceutical ingredient (APIs) are frequently delivered to the patient in the solid-state as part of an approved dosage form (e.g., tablets, capsules, etc.). Drug... -
Encounter complex in solutions of frustrated Lewis pairs
Hydrogen activation by frustrated Lewis pairs is currently among the hottesttopics in homogenous catalysis. The aim of this proposal is to examine solutions containing both... -
Solvation structure of sodium ions and hexa-fluorophosphate ions in organic c...
Here we propose to study the local structure of sodium in standard organic carbonate electrolytes for sodium ion batteries. Three different electrolytes are chosen to study; a... -
Interaction of sugars and a model peptide
We propose to perform a NDIS experiments at the SANDALS diffractometer at T = 300 K on 7 aqueous solutions of NMA and trehalose and NMA and glucose, aimed at investigating the... -
Frustrated Lewis pairs: encounter complexes in an ionic liquid
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... -
Bio-inspired Ionic Liquids for Lignin Dissolution
Biomass is a renewable source of fuel and fine chemicals. Although naturally abundant, it is heterogeneous and recalcitrant to biodegradation. Current industrial strategy is to... -
Water structure in C-A-S-H by neutron diffraction with isotopic substitution:...
The manufacture of every ton of cement emits approximately 0.8 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, comprising 57% of the global human-made CO2 emissions. A low pH - low CO2 class... -
Neutron diffraction of fully deuterated amorphous calcium phosphate (d-ACP)
Bone growth involves the formation of hydroxyapatite, HA, nanocrystals in the body. In vitro studies showed that HA does not precipitate directly, but that amorphous calcium... -
Atomic structure of mercury chalcohalide glasses
Optical applications of chalcogenide glasses need a wide transparency window in far IR. Promising glass systems include HgI2. We have synthesised three vitreous systems... -
Molecular interactions of etiracetam and water in solution
Active pharmaceutical ingredient (APIs) are frequently delivered to the patient in the solid-state as part of an approved dosage form (e.g., tablets, capsules, etc.). Drug... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous iron sulfates (AFS)
Amorphous iron sulfate pentahydrate has been identified as one of the iron sulfates found on the Martian surface during the Spirit and Opportunity Rover missions in recent... -
Linking the solid state and solution thorium aqua structures: solution struct...
A understanding of the aqueous chemistry of the actinide ions is not as well developed as for transition metals or the lanthanides. Fundamentally important information such as... -
Solvent-solute interations in PET recycling systems
Glycolysis of polyethylterephthalate (PET) catalysed by ionic liquid solvents could offer a metal-free low cost approach to chemical recycling of waste PET. This work will... -
Unraveling temperature dependent cis/trans-isomerisation in bis{(trifluoromet...
Raman spectroscopy has identified differences in how the anion conformer populations of alkali metal bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imide molten salts (Li-Cs) and protic...
