Structure of a clathrate hydrate inhibitor in water
Gas hydrates (crystalline inclusion compounds of water and small hydrocarbons) present a very real challenge to the petrochemical industry. In uninhibited systems gas hydrates... -
Thermochromism in N-salicylideneanilines
N-salicylidineanilines are known to show thermochromic behaviour, which is currently postulated to arise from an intramolecular proton shift between the keto and enol form as... -
Solvent-gelator interactions in supramolecular gels
An intriguing case of self assembly is the formation of supramolecular gels. Small organic "gelator" molecules in solution self assemble into a fibrous network which forms gels...
