Influence of the hydrophile-lipophile balance of perfluorinated surfactants on the emulsion stability

Emulsions are omnipresent in our everyday life; for example, in food, certain drug and cosmetic formulations, agriculture, and as paints. Moreover, they are frequently used to perform high-throughput screening assays with minimum sample volumes. Key to the ...

Switching the on-surface orientation of oxygen-functionalized helicene

Christian Wäckerlin, Karl-Heinz Ernst, Jan Voigt

Helicenes represent an important class of chiral organic material with promising optoelectronic properties. Hence, functionalization of surfaces with helicenes is a key step toward new organic materials devices. The deposition of a heterohelicene containin ...

On the effect of ligand shell heterogeneity on nanoparticle/protein binding thermodynamics

Francesco Stellacci, Ahmet Bekdemir, Suiyang Liao

Nonspecific protein adhesion to nanoparticle (NP) has been proven to have important implications in nanomedicine. However, there are only a few examples of careful studies relating protein binding thermodynamics to NP physicochemical features. In particula ...

Biporous Metal-Organic Framework with Tunable CO2/CH4 Separation Performance Facilitated by Intrinsic Flexibility

Berend Smit, Kyriakos Stylianou, Seyedmohamad Moosavi, Daniele Ongari, Peter George Boyd, Andrzej Gladysiak, Arunraj Chidambaram, Kathryn Suzanne Deeg, Kaili Yee Ordiz

In this work, we report the synthesis of SION-8, a novel metal-organic framework (MOF) based on Ca(II) and a tetracarboxylate ligand TBAPy(4-) endowed with two chemically distinct types of pores characterized by their hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties ...

Origin of the Strong Interaction between Polar Molecules and Copper(II) Paddle-Wheels in Metal Organic Frameworks

Berend Smit, Daniele Ongari, Davide Tiana

The copper paddle-wheel is the building unit of many metal organic frameworks. Because of the ability of the copper cations to attract polar molecules, copper paddle-wheels are promising for carbon dioxide adsorption and separation. They have therefore bee ...

Soft-Sphere Continuum Solvation in Electronic-Structure Calculations

Nicola Marzari, Oliviero Andreussi

We present an implicit solvation approach where the interface-between the quantum-mechanical solute and the surrounding environment is, described by a fully continuous permittivity built up with atomic-centered "soft" spheres. This approach combines many o ...

Hydrophilic Interaction Between Low-Coordinated Au and Water: H2O/Au(310) Studied with TPD and XPS

Maarten Eduard van Reijzen

In this work, we study the relatively weak H2O Au interaction on the highly stepped and anisotropic (310) surface with temperature-programmed desorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Compared to Au(111), we report an enhanced adsorption energy of H ...

Water at Interfaces

Gabriele Tocci, Martin Hangaard Hansen, Eric Tyrode

The interfaces of neat water and aqueous solutions play a prominent role in many technological processes and in the environment. Examples of aqueous interfaces are ultrathin water films that cover most hydrophilic surfaces under ambient relative humidities ...

Crystalline Oligo(ethylene sulfide) Domains Define Highly Stable Supramolecular Block Copolymer Assemblies

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Davide Demurtas, Edward Allen Phelps, Carrie Ellen Brubaker

With proper control over copolymer design and solvation conditions, self-assembled materials display impressive morphological variety that encompasses nanoscale colloids as well as bulk three-dimensional architectures. Here we take advantage of both hydrop ...

Understanding Small-Molecule Interactions in Metal-Organic Frameworks: Coupling Experiment with Theory

Berend Smit, Wendy Lee Queen

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained much attention as next-generation porous media for various applications, especially gas separation/storage, and catalysis. New MOFs are regularly reported; however, to develop better materials in a timely manner ...
