Electrochemical Behavior of Magnesium in Organic Electrolyte Solutions.

Glasslike behavior in aqueous electrolyte solutions.

When salts are added to water, generally the viscosity increases, suggesting that the ions increase the strength of the water's hydrogen-bond network. However, infrared pump-probe measurements on electrolyte solutions have found that ions have no influence on the rotational dynamics of water molecules, implying no enhancement or breakdown of the hydrogen-bond network. Here, we report optical Ke...

Instantaneous dissolution of cellulose in organic electrolyte solutions.

Herein a novel class of solvent systems for cellulose is introduced. Surprisingly, organic electrolyte solutions, which contain just a small molar fraction of ionic liquid, dissolve instantaneously large amounts of cellulose. The solvation properties of the solvent systems, required for dissolving the polymer, are discussed here.

Association-dissociation behavior of sesame alpha-globulin in electrolyte solutions.

The major protein fraction, alpha-globulin, of sesame seed (Sesamum indicum L.) contains subunits which are associated predominantly by hydrophobic interactions. Effects of various salts show the following effectiveness of anions in dissociating the proteins, SO4(2-) less than Cl- less than Br- less than ClO4- less than SCN- less than or equal to I- less than CCl3COO-, the first two members bei...

Association-Dissociation Behavior of Sesame a-Globulin in Electrolyte Solutions

The major protein fraction, a-globulin, of sesame seed CS’esamum indicum L.) contains subunits which are associated predominantly by hydrophobic interactions. Effects of various salts show the following effectiveness of anions in dissociating the proteins, SO,*< Cl< Br< C104< SCN4 I< CCl,COO-, the first two members being association-inducing ions. CC1,COONa is found to be the most effective amo...
