Probing the structure of liquids above a metal-oxide interface
Simulations have demonstrated that mimicking the metal-oxide interface in porous media produces significant variations in the solvents structure over the metal and the oxide for... -
New Ruthenium-based dyes for environmentally friendly optical devices
The cis-[Ru(bipy)2(PTA)2]Cl2, trans-[Ru(bipy)2(PTA)2]OTf2 ruthenium complexes are highly water soluble and luminescent in water at room temperature. Additionally, their optical... -
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... -
The quest for attractive divalent sulfur - oxygen interactions
Weak nonbonded interactions between a divalent sulfur and an oxygen atom have attracted growing interest because of their roles in determining the structure and the biological... -
A Study of Halogen Bonding in the Liquid State: Effect of Halogen Atom Substi...
Halogen bonding is a directional intermolecular interaction that occurs between covalently bonded halogens and Lewis bases. It is caused by the anisotropic distribution of... -
Effect of Variation in the Anion on the Bulk Nanostructure of Protic Ionic Li...
In a recently published note we presented the first experimental evidence (obtained using the LoQ instrument at ISIS) for nanoscale segregation of short (< C4) alkyl chain...
