Quantum Spin Ice ground states and Structural Disorder in non-Kramers rare-ea...
Pyrochlore oxides based on non-Kramers rare-earth ions, such as Pr3+ and Tb3+, are candidate materials for the formation of the Quantum Spin Ice. However, structural disorder is... -
When like-charged ions attract: How OH-defects influence the size and distrib...
This study will probe the liquid nanostructures of mixtures of two ionic liquids, 4-(hydroxybutyl)pyridinium-bis(trifluorosulfonyl)-imide ([HOC4Py]NTf2) and... -
The role of water in homogeneous catalytic processes mediated by water solubl...
A large number of chemicals are currently obtained by catalytic synthetic processes, but usually in most of these processes the catalyst remains in the reaction medium during... -
The origin of the dissolution of cellulose in NaOH/urea aqueous solution at -...
Cellulose is produced over tens of billions of tons every year in the world. It is the one of the most abundant natural polymer resources. Compared with petroleum-based... -
Structure and solvation of LiNTf2/1,2,3-trimethoxypropane - a new bio-derived...
This work will study the structure a new lithium-based electrolyte produced using 1,2,3-trimethoxypropane, a bioderived low-toxicity green solvent, as a first stage towards the... -
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... -
Synthetic Ion Channels Formed By Self-Assembly of Crown Ethers
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... -
Structure of a clathrate hydrate inhibitor in water
Gas hydrates present a significant problem to the petrochemical industry, with pipeline plugs imparting major financial and safety concerns. Gas hydrate crystallization is... -
Antiplasticizing effect of water in amorphous prilocaine
In glassforming organic materials, the addition of water usually has a direct plasticizing effect, visible in a lowering of the glass-transition temperature Tg upon hydration of... -
Specific ion effects in molecular non-aqueous electrolytes
Specific-ion (Hofmeister effects) are ubiquitous whenever ions are dissolved in solution and are important in many research fields from chemistry, to biology and in materials... -
Structural comparison of peptidomimetic building blocks
Peptidomimetics are synthetic mimics of peptides, the natural building blocks of proteins, and their development is a growing field of science. An underlying theme in recent... -
Protic Ionic Liquid ¿ Benzene Interactions
Ionic liquids (ILs) have been extensively studied for liquid¿liquid extractions and have recently been examined for the purification and separation of crude oil components. Of... -
In situ investigation of templated polymerisation
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a particularly interesting class of three dimensional crystalline networks formed by the self-assembly of metal ions with organic ligands.... -
Pre-aggregation of 3-hydroxybenzoic acid in solution
The pharmaceutical intermediate 3-hydroxybenzoic acid (MHBA) is reported to crystallise in two polymorphs. The stable one is obtained by evaporation from methanol solution,... -
Solvation of sodium by glyme-based electrolytes for sodium intercalation into...
Here we propose to study the local structure of sodium ion in glyme electrolytes for sodium ion batteries. Glyme electrolyte are linear ethers of the structure... -
Water soluble ruthenium compounds for homogeneous catalysis processes: the ro...
The combination of NMR, DFT based ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) and total neutron scattering aided by EPSR simulations provide a new method for understand the factors... -

Resolving the enigma of self-assembled meso-structures in an H-bonding rich m...
In a recent successful LOQ experiment (RB 1810629), we have unexpectedly observed possible multilayer stacking of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS; ~2wt%) bilayers in glycerol... -
Interaction of trehalose and a model peptide
We propose to perform a NDIS experiments at the SANDALS diffractometer at T = 300 K on X samples of N-Methylacetamide, NMA, and trehalose at low water content, in the glassy... -
