Investigation of phosphatidylcholine and its interaction with 1,2 propandiol ...
The aim of the present study is to use neutron diffraction enhanced with isotopic substitution and subsequent computer simulations to determine the head group solvation of a... -
Meso- and micro-structure of protic ionic liquid / methanol mixtures
Protic ionic liquids (PILs) are an interesting sub-class of room temperature ionic liquids. They differ from conventional, a protic ionic liquids, because of the major role... -
Understanding the effect of pressure on ionic liquid structure
There are few studies on the effect of pressure on ionic liquids; however, there are indications that, at pressures around 1.0 GPa, these systems undergo a significant change in... -

Caffeine and the issue of hydrophobic hydration
Caffeine is a prototypical example of a planar, heteroatomic bicyclic, aromatic ring compound that, although somewhat polar, exhibits limited aqueous solubility and is... -
Structures of Gel Precursors of Nanoporous Materials
Nanoporous zeolites are well-known materials with huge industrial and commercial application in important areas yet their crystallisation mechanism remains under great debate.... -
The effect of confinement on the structure of alcohol-water mixtures
Compared with gas phase reactions, liquid phase catalytic processes are complex due to the effect of the solvent. The solvent controls many aspects of the overall reaction... -
Total scattering study of the interactions of ammonia borane adsorbed in MCM-41
We ask for 4 days on NIMROD to study the atomic- and intermediate-range order of ammonia-borane (AB) intercalated into mesoporous MCM-41. Ammonia borane is one of the leading... -
First insights into the hydration of the nootropic drug piracetam by neutron ...
The proposal seeks to investigate the structure and hydration of the nootropic drug piracetam in aqueous solutions by neutron scattering on the SANDALS instrument, with... -
Neutron diffraction of sodium iron phosphate glasses
One important structural application of oxide glasses is for nuclear waste immobilisation. Recent reports have highlighted the possibility of iron phosphate glasses as an... -
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... -
Salts Dissolved in Salts: Ionic Liquid + inorganic salt mixtures
Ionic liquids (ILs) are low melting point organic salts that until recently were thought to have homogeneous microstructure. In recent SANDALS research,1 we showed pure ILs are... -
The structure of ceramides in a model membrane environment
This proposal aims to investigate the structure of ceramide, an important component of cellular membranes in a mimic membrane environment. After assessment of this molecule in... -
The structure of pharmaceuticals in aqueous solution: towards better drug sol...
The pharmaceutical industry has been described as being 'in a period of crisis' as the number of drug approvals relative to most major pharmaceutical companies Research and... -
Cryopreservation in biological systems: glutamine as a model system to study ...
Many living organisms have developed mechanisms that protect them from extremeenvironmental stresses such as freezing and pressure. One common mechanism involvesaccumulation of... -
SANS of Supported Zirconocene Olefin Polymerisation Catalysts
This proposal is concerned with determining the active species of the polymerisation catalyst comprising ansa-bridged indenyl zirconium complexes supported with MAO on silica... -
The structure of aprotic and aromatic solvents
In this proposal we would like to study the structure of polar aprotic and aromatic liquids using H/D and 15N/*N isotopic labelling on SANDALS. The molecules chosen for study... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous calcium carbonate (resubmission)
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is a transient phase in one of the most important biomineralisation systems in animals (s.g.) such as crustaceans. The literature reports many... -
The structure of ammonia borane in water, DMSO and THF
There is an increasing urgency to find stable and lightweight hydrogen storage materials for clean transport applications. Promising options being investigated include Mg-based... -
A Total Scattering Study of Dopamine, L-DOPA and Norepinephrine Aqueous Solut...
We request 5 days on Sandals to study the interactions of the neurotransmitters dopamine, L-dihydroxyphenylalanine and norepinephrine in aqueous solution. The interactions of...
