Role of Carbonyl Compounds for N-Nitrosamine Formation during Nitrosation: Kinetics and Mechanisms

Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Yishuai Pan

N-Nitrosamines are potential human carcinogens frequently detected in natural and engineered aquatic systems. This study sheds light on the role of carbonyl compounds in the formation of N-nitrosamines by nitrosation of five secondary amines via different ...

Cholesterol-Containing Liposomes Decorated With Au Nanoparticles as Minimal Tunable Fusion Machinery

Francesco Stellacci, Paulo Henrique Jacob Silva, Ester Canepa, Giulia Rossi

Membrane fusion is essential for the basal functionality of eukaryotic cells. In physiological conditions, fusion events are regulated by a wide range of specialized proteins, operating with finely tuned local lipid composition and ionic environment. Fusog ...

Gentle nano-electrospray ion source for reliable and efficient generation of microsolvated ions

Oleg Boyarkine, Andrei Zviagin, Vladimir Kopysov

We present herein the design of a nano-electrospray ion source capable of reliable generation of large quantities of microsolvated ions. The source is based on a triple molecular skimmer scheme and can be quickly tuned to generate bare ions or their ionic ...

Shape retaining self-healing metal-coordinated hydrogels

Esther Amstad, Alvaro Lino Boris Charlet, Raffaele Mezzenga

Metal-coordinated hydrogels are physical hydrogels entirely crosslinked by complexes between ligand decorated polymers and metal ions. The mechanical properties of these hydrogels strongly depend on the density and dynamics of metal-coordinated interaction ...

Catalyst Proximity-Induced Functionalization of h-BN with Quat Derivatives

Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder, Gabriele Tocci, Bart Willem Stel, Huanyao Cun

Inert single-layer boron nitride (h-BN) grown on a catalytic metal may be functionalized with quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) that are widely used as nonreactive electrolytes. We observe that the quat treatment, which facilitates the electrochemical ...

Site-selective Synthesis of -[70]PCBM-like Fullerenes: Efficient Application in Perovskite Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Jiyoun Seo, Seckin Akin

We report on the site-selective synthesis of PCBM-like [70]fullerene site-isomers, where the elusive -site-isomers are, for the first time, the major product in a (cyclo)addition chemical reaction involving [70]fullerene. The reaction involves an straightf ...

Orientation, rotation and solvation of ions in helium nanodroplets

Verónica Oliver Álvarez de Lara

Helium nanodroplets are liquid, finite size, nanoscale helium clusters that have been employed since the 1990s as a matrix for high-resolution spectroscopy of molecules. Spectroscopic studies of ionic species inside helium droplets were not however realise ...

Interaction of biologically relevant ions and organic molecules with titanium oxide (rutile) surfaces: A review on molecular dynamics studies

Paul Bowen, Ulrich Aschauer, Azade Yazdan Yar

The surface of a biomaterial can play a major role in its biological fate since the surface is the primary pathway for its interaction with the body. As the natural response of the body to a foreign material is to encapsulate it with a fibrous material, th ...

Molecular Hydrogen Messengers Can Lead to Structural Infidelity: A Cautionary Tale of Protonated Glycine

Thomas Rizzo, Antoine Louis Claude Masson, Evan Rowland Williams

The effects of tagging protonated glycine with either He or with between 1 and 14 H2 molecules on the infrared photodissociation (IRPD) spectra and the ion structure was investigated. Differences in the IR spectra with either a single He atom or H2 molecul ...

The Role of Quantum Effects on Structural and Electronic Fluctuations in Neat and Charged Water

Michele Ceriotti, Federico Giberti, Michele Parrinello

In this work, we revisit the role of nuclear quantum effects on the structural and electronic properties of the excess proton in bulk liquid water using advanced molecular dynamics techniques. The hydronium ion is known to be a weak acceptor of a hydrogen ...
