Solutes at the liquid:liquid phase boundary—Solubility and solvent conformational response alter interfacial microsolvation

Interfacial Chemistry in Solvent

Dynamics around solutes and solute-solvent complexes in mixed solvents.

Ultrafast 2D-IR vibrational echo experiments, IR pump-probe experiments, and FT-IR spectroscopy of the hydroxyl stretch of phenol-OD in three solvents, CCl4, mesitylene (1, 3, 5 trimethylbenzene), and the mixed solvent of mesitylene and CCl4 (0.83 mole fraction CCl4), are used to study solute-solvent dynamics via observation of spectral diffusion. Phenol forms a complex with Mesitylene. In the ...

kids and teenager are sleepy at school because the electronic media they have in their bedrooms leads them to have delayed sleep phase disorder (dspd)

bserved by many teachers that most of the time, mumbling and searching for their intended words, students complain why they have forgotten the words they have learned in the previous semesters. they ask for some new ways that may help them to recall and apply the learned words more efficiently, since as they declare one of the most important skills in foreign language learning is having a g...

Freestanding Ultrathin Nanoparticle Membranes Assembled at Transient LiquidLiquid Interfaces

(please note that in this context, we defi ne as membrane any freestanding thin layer, regardless of selective mass-transport properties). These approaches rely on the possibility of NPs to adsorb and pack into a dense network at an interface. This can occur if the free energy of the nanoparticles bound at the interface is lower than that of the NPs in either of the two phases. [ 38–40 ] The su...

Modeling simple amphiphilic solutes in a Jagla solvent.

Methanol is an amphiphilic solute whose aqueous solutions exhibit distinctive physical properties. The volume change upon mixing, for example, is negative across the entire composition range, indicating strong association. We explore the corresponding behavior of a Jagla solvent, which has been previously shown to exhibit many of the anomalous properties of water. We consider two models of an a...
