Instantaneous normal mode analysis of liquid water

Instantaneous normal mode analysis of orientational motions in liquid water: Local structural effects We present an instantaneous-normal-mode analysis of liquid water at room temperature based on a computer simulated set of liquid configurations and we compare the results to analogous inherent-structure calculations. The separate translational and rotational contributions to each instantaneous ...

Hydrogen evolution at liquid-liquid interfaces.

Blowing bubbles: Hydrogen evolution by proton reduction with [(C(5)Me(5))(2)Fe] occurs at a soft interface between water and 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE). The reaction proceeds by proton transfer assisted by [(C(5)Me(5))(2)Fe] across the water-DCE interface with subsequent proton reduction in DCE. The interface essentially acts as a proton pump, allowing hydrogen evolution by directly using the aqu...

Topological Transitions in Liquid Liquid Interfaces

A set of fundamental yet ill understood phenomena in uid dynamics involves changes in the topology of interfaces between partially miscible or nominally immiscible uids Such changes occur for example when continuous jets pinch o into droplets when sheared interfaces atomize and when droplets of one uid reconnect with one another These topological transitions occur in many practical applications...

Ultrafast Photoinduced Dynamics at Air/Liquid and Liquid/Liquid Interfaces.

Although liquid/liquid and air/liquid interfaces are omnipresent, very little is known up to now about the dynamics of processes occurring at such interfaces. As a detailed understanding of these processes could be of invaluable technological, environmental, and medical importance, considerable effort has been invested over the last two decades in developing new interface-selective techniques t...
