The structure of the carbon dioxide-water interface was analyzed by X-ray diffraction and reflectivity at temperature and pressure conditions which allow the formation of gas hydrate. The water-gaseous CO2 and the water-liquid CO2 interface were examined. The two interfaces show a very different behavior with respect to the formation of gas hydrate. While the liquid-gas interface exhibits the f...

Liquid–liquid interfaces in principle have the potential to regulate selectivity of chemical reactions because highly anisotropic microenvironments but not yet been well exploited. Here, we present a liquid–liquid interface-based strategy boost catalytic selectivity, exemplified by selective hydrogenation α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The key this success is spatially controlled assembly tubular c...
