Hydration and sweetness of synthetic sweeteners
Recently, the degree of sweetness of natural sugars has been associated and correlated to their hydration shell (strength, orientation and length of their hydrogen bonds with... -
Why are choline arginate / choline lysinate mixtures more effective for the p...
We have recently discovered that certain mixtures of the ionic liquids (ILs) cholinium argininate (Ch[Arg]) and cholinium lysinate (Ch[Lys]) are ~ 20% more efficient for the... -
Understanding Sulphur and Nitrogen-Aromatic interactions from liquid structure
Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltenes have a high... -
When like-charged ions attract: Size and distribution of cationic clusters in...
Contrary to the strong electrostatic repulsion between like charged ions, last year the Ludwig group, used IR and NMR spectroscopy combined with computational methods, to reveal... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons: Understanding liquid structure for benchmarking of...
Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltenes have a high... -
Why is Choline Arginate the Best Performing Bio-IL for Biomass Pretreatment?
The ionic liquid choline arginate [Ch][Arg] is more effective for coal pretreatment than other choline based amino acid ILs, but the underlying mechanism is unclear.... -
Study of Association of Novel Zwitterionic Materials in Aqeous Solution for E...
New polyionic zwiterionic salts have been developed that show extreme hydrophilicity, offering potential to form microsegregated structures in the presence of water. In these... -
The hydration structure in potassium borate solutions
Borate solution is a much peculiar substance, in which not only hydrated cation but also varied borate speciation such as [B3O3(OH)4], [B4O5(OH)42], [B(OH)4] and [B(OH)3] are... -
