C3-Symmetric tricarboxylic acids form dimers through intermolecular hydrogen bonds in nonpolar organic solvents. These dimers recognize lithium ions with high selectivities through the formation of 1 : 1 host-guest complexes between the collapsed dimeric assemblies and guest molecules.

2014 A brief review is given of the energetics and dynamics of electronic conduction processes in nonpolar liquids. Revue Phys. Appl. 22 (1987) 1113-1116 SEPTEMBRE 1987, Classification Physics Abstracts 52.80 72.80 82.50

A versatile molecule is described that performs as a nondestructible read-out optical-storage molecular memory. This molecular memory is composed of two distinct molecules that are chemically bonded to each other to form a single molecule with unique properties. One component is a photochromic fulgimide, and the other is a strongly fluorescing oxazine dye. This composite molecule was specifical...

A recently developed microscopic model for associating fluids that accurately captures the thermodynamics of liquid water @Truskett et al., J. Chem. Phys. 111, 2647 ~1999!# is extended to aqueous solutions with nonpolar species. The underlying association model incorporates the highly directional and open nature of water’s hydrogen-bond network, and, as a result, captures a number of the distin...

Typical good nonpolar solvents for nonpolar polymers have values of the Flory interaction parameter of 0.3 or higher. This is striking since miscible nonpolar polymer blends exist with well-matched solubility parameters and resulting very small values of 10-2 or less. Using a cell model, it has been previously argued that there is a generic contribution to in polymer-solvent systems of about 0....
