Abstract
We investigated the structure of ice under nanoporous confinement in periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) with different organic functionalities and pore diameters between 3.4 and 4.9 nm. X-ray scattering measurements of the system were performed at temperatures between 290 and 150 K. We report the emergence of ice I with both hexagonal and cubic characteristics in different porous materials, as well as an alteration of the lattice parameters when compared to bulk ice. This effect is dependent on the pore diameter and the surface chemistry of the respective PMO. Investigations regarding the orientation of hexagonal ice crystals relative to the pore wall using x-ray cross correlation analysis reveal one or more discrete preferred orientation in most of the samples. For a pore diameter of around 3.8 nm, stronger correlation peaks are present in more hydrophilically functionalized pores and seem to be connected to stronger shifts in the lattice parameters.

Abstract
The adsorption of cationic peptide JM21 onto different mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) from an aqueous solution was studied as a function of pH. In agreement with the literature, the highest loading degrees could be achieved at pH close to the isoelectric point of the peptide where the peptide-peptide repulsion is minimum. However, mesopore size, mesopore geometry, and surface polarity all had an influence on the peptide adsorption in terms of both affinity and maximum loading at a given pH. This adsorption behavior could largely be explained by a combination of pH-dependent electrostatic interactions and confinement effects. It is demonstrated that hydrophobic interactions enhance the degree of peptide adsorption under pH conditions where the electrostatic attraction was absent in the case of mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (MONs). The lower surface concentration of silanol groups for MON led to a lower level of peptide adsorption under optimum pH conditions compared to all-silica particles. Finally, the study confirmed the protective role of MSNs in preserving the biological activity of JM#21 against enzymatic degradation, even for large-pore MSNs, emphasizing their potential as nanocarriers for therapeutic peptides. By integrating experimental findings with theoretical modeling, this research elucidates the complex interplay of factors that influence peptide-silica interactions, providing vital insights for optimizing peptide loading and stabilization in biomedical applications.

Abstract
The ordering structures of non-polar carbon tetrachloride liquid compressed to nano-scales between parallel substrates is studied in this work. The theoretical considerations show that the potential well formed by the confined parallel substrates induces orientational ordering of non-polar molecules. Through molecular dynamic (MD) simulations, the relations between various ordered structures of a non-polar liquid (carbon tetrachloride) and the confined gap size are demonstrated. The density distribution shows that the confinement does affect the ordering modes and induces an orientational ordering of molecules at the solid-liquid interface under extreme confinement conditions. This molecular orientation suggested from the theoretical model and MD simulation is directly supported by the experimental studies for the first time. The X-ray reflectivity data reveal a strong layering effect with splitting of the density profile in C and Cl-rich sublayers. The investigation shows that the liquid structure factor in confinement has a characteristic length similar to the short-range ordering in bulk, but the confined structure is strongly influenced by the surface potential and the interface properties. This introduces preferred molecular orientation and ordering which are not favorable in the bulk phase. As the orientational ordering is closely related to crystallization, our results provide a new perspective to control the crystallization in nano-confined space by compression.

Water Molecular Dynamics in the Porous Structures of Ultrafiltration/Nanofiltration Asymmetric Cellulose Acetate-Silica Membranes. MEMBRANES 2022; 12:1122.

Abstract
This study presents the characterization of water dynamics in cellulose acetate-silica asymmetric membranes with very different pore structures that are associated with a wide range of selective transport properties of ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF). By combining 1H NMR spectroscopy, diffusometry and relaxometry and considering that the spin-lattice relaxation rate of the studied systems is mainly determined by translational diffusion, individual rotations and rotations mediated by translational displacements, it was possible to assess the influence of the porous matrix's confinement on the degree of water ordering and dynamics and to correlate this with UF/NF permeation characteristics. In fact, the less permeable membranes, CA/SiO2-22, characterized by smaller pores induce significant orientational order to the water molecules close to/interacting with the membrane matrix's interface. Conversely, the model fitting analysis of the relaxometry results obtained for the more permeable sets of membranes, CA/SiO2-30 and CA/SiO2-34, did not evidence surface-induced orientational order, which might be explained by the reduced surface-to-volume ratio of the pores and consequent loss of sensitivity to the signal of surface-bound water. Comparing the findings with those of previous studies, it is clear that the fraction of more confined water molecules in the CA/SiO2-22-G20, CA/SiO2-30-G20 and CA/SiO2-34-G20 membranes of 0.83, 0.24 and 0.35, respectively, is in agreement with the obtained diffusion coefficients as well as with the pore sizes and hydraulic permeabilities of 3.5, 38 and 81 kg h-1 m-2 bar-1, respectively, reported in the literature. It was also possible to conclude that the post-treatment of the membranes with Triton X-100 surfactants produced no significant structural changes but increased the hydrophobic character of the surface, leading to higher diffusion coefficients, especially for systems associated with average smaller pore dimensions. Altogether, these findings evidence the potential of combining complementary NMR techniques to indirectly study hydrated asymmetric porous media, assess the influence of drying post-treatments on hybrid CA/SiO2 membrane' surface characteristics and discriminate between ultra- and nano-filtration membrane systems.

Abstract
In this work, the water order and dynamics in hydrated films of flat asymmetric cellulose acetate (CA)/silica, CA/SiO2, and hybrid membranes, covering a wide range of nanofiltration (NF) and ultrafiltration (UF) permeation properties, were characterised by deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance (DNMR) relaxation. The range of NF/UF characteristics was attained by subjecting three CA/SiO2 membranes, prepared from casting solutions with different acetone/formamide ratios to drying post-treatments of solvent exchange and conditioning with surfactant mixtures. Post-treated and pristine CA/SiO2 membranes were characterised in terms of hydraulic permeability, selective permeation properties and molecular weight cut-off. These results were correlated with the DNMR relaxation findings. It was found that the post-treatment by solvent exchange caused membrane shrinkage that led to very different permeation characteristics and a significant enhancement of the DNMR relaxation observables. In contrast, conditioning with surfactant solutions exhibited a weaker effect over those properties. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were obtained for the membranes post-treated with solvent exchange to confirm their asymmetric nature. This work provides an essential indication that DNMR relaxometry is a reliable tool to characterise the asymmetric porous structures of the NF/UF CA/SiO2 hybrid membranes.

Abstract
At aqueous interfaces, the distribution and dynamics of adsorbates are modulated by the behavior of interfacial water. Hydration of a hydrophobic surface can store entropy via the ordering of interfacial water, which contributes to the Gibbs energy of solute binding. However, there is little experimental evidence for the existence of such entropic reservoirs, and virtually no precedent for their rational design in systems involving extended interfaces. In this study, two series of mesoporous silicas were modified in distinct ways: (1) progressively deeper thermal dehydroxylation, via condensation of surface silanols, and (2) increasing incorporation of nonpolar organic linkers into the silica framework. Both approaches result in decreasing average surface polarity, manifested in a blue-shift in the fluorescence of an adsorbed dye. For the inorganic silicas, hydrogen-bonding of water becomes less extensive as the number of surface silanols decreases. Overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization (ODNP) relaxometry indicates enhanced surface water diffusivity, reflecting a loss of enthalpic hydration. In contrast, organosilicas show a monotonic decrease in surface water diffusivity with decreasing polarity, reflecting enhanced hydrophobic hydration. Molecular dynamics simulations predict increased tetrahedrality of interfacial water for the organosilicas, implying increased ordering near the nm-size organic domains (relative to inorganic silicas, which necessarily lack such domains). These findings validate the prediction that hydrophobic hydration at interfaces is controlled by the microscopic length scale of the hydrophobic regions. They further suggest that the hydration thermodynamics of structurally heterogeneous silica surfaces can be tuned to promote adsorption, which in turn tunes the selectivity in catalytic reactions.

Abstract
We present an investigation of the dynamics of water confined among rigid carbon rods and between parallel graphene sheets with molecular dynamics simulations. Diffusion coefficients, activation energy of diffusion, and residence-time correlation functions as a function of confinement geometry reveal a retardation of water dynamics under hydrophobic confinement compared to bulk water. In fact, water under various confinements possesses longer associations with its neighbors and exhibits diffusion dynamics characteristic of a lower temperature. Analysis of the residence-time correlation functions reveals long and short residence times, which we relate to the diffusion coefficient and activation energy of diffusion, respectively. Additional investigations reveal how the level of confining surface hydrophobicity affects water dynamics, further broadening our understanding of water diffusion inside diverse media. Overall, this study sheds light on the physical origin of retarded water dynamics under hydrophobic confinement and the close relationship between residence times and diffusion behavior.

Abstract
Quantum computing and quantum information processing (QC/QIP) crucially depend on the availability of suitable quantum bits (qubits) and methods of their manipulation. Most qubit candidates known to date are not applicable at ambient conditions. Herein, we propose radical‐grafted mesoporous silica as a versatile and prospective nanoplatform for spin‐based QC/QIP. Extremely stable Blatter‐type organic radicals are used, whose electron spin decoherence time is profoundly long even at room temperature (up to Tm≈2.3 μs), thus allowing efficient spin manipulation by microwave pulses. The mesoporous structure of such composites is nuclear‐spin free and provides additional opportunities of embedding guest molecules into the channels. Robustness and tunability of these materials promotes them as highly promising nanoplatforms for future QC/QIP developments.

Abstract
Herein, it is reported how pseudomorphic transformation of divinylbenzene (DVB)-bridged organosilica@controlled pore glasses (CPG) offers the possibility to generate hierarchically porous organosilica/silica hybrid materials. CPG is utilized to provide granular shape/size and macroporosity and the macropores of the CPG is impregnated with organosilica phase, forming hybrid system. By subsequent pseudomorphic transformation, an ordered mesopore phase is generated while maintaining the granular shape and macroporosity of the CPG. Surface areas and mesopore sizes in the hierarchical structure are tunable by the choice of the surfactant and transformation time. Two-dimensional magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy demonstrated that micellar-templating affects both organosilica and silica phases and pseudomorphic transformation induces phase transition. A double-layer structure of separate organosilica and silica layers is established for the impregnated material, while a single monophase consisting of randomly distributed T and Q silicon species at the molecular level is identified for the pseudomorphic transformed materials.

Abstract
Wood porosity is of great interest for basic research and applications. One aspect is the cell wall porosity at total dry state. When water is absorbed by wood, the uptake of water within the cell wall leads to a dimension change of the material. A hypothesis for possible structures that hold the water is induced cell wall porosity. Nitrogen and krypton physisorption as well as high pressure hydrogen sorption and thermoporosimetry were applied to softwood and hardwood (pine and beech) in dry and wet state for determining surface area and porosity. Physisorption is not able to detect pores or surface area within the cell wall. Krypton physisorption shows surface area up 5 times lower than nitrogen with higher accuracy. With high pressure sorption no inaccessible pore volumes were seen at higher pressures. Thermoporosimetry was not able to detect mesopores within the hygroscopic water sorption region. Physisorption has to be handled carefully regarding the differences between adsorptives. The absence of water-induced mesopores within the hygroscopic region raise doubts on existing water sorption theories that assume these pore dimensions. When using the term “cell wall porosity”, it is important to distinguish between pores on the cell wall surface and pores that exist because of biological structure, as there are no water-induced mesopores present. The finding offers the possibility to renew wood-water-sorption theories because based on the presented results transport of water in the cell wall must be realized by structures lower than two 2 nm. Nanoporous structures in wood at wet state should be investigated more intensively in future.

Abstract
Surface polarity plays a key role in controlling molecular adsorption at solid-liquid interfaces, with major implications for reactions and separations. In this study, the chemical composition of periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) was varied by co-condensing Si(OEt)4 with organodisilanes, to create a homologous series of materials with similar surface areas, pore volumes, and hydroxyl contents. Their relative surface polarities, obtained by measuring the fluorescence of a solvatochromic dye, cover a wide range. In this series of PMO materials, EPR spectra of tethered nitroxide radicals show monotonically decreasing mobility as larger fractions of the radicals interact strongly with increasingly non-polar surfaces. The surface properties of the materials also correlate with their affinities for organic molecules dissolved in various solvents. The most polar PMO has negligible affinity for phenol, p-cresol, or furfural when these molecules are dissolved in water. However, stronger solute-surface interactions and favor adsorption as the surface polarity decreases. The trend is reversed for furfural in benzene, where weaker solvent-surface interactions result in higher adsorption on polar surfaces. In DMSO, furfural adsorption is suppressed due to the similar strengths of solute-surface and solvent-surface interactions. Thus, the polarity of the surface relative to the solvent is critical for molecular adsorption. These findings show how adsorption/desorption can be precisely and systematically tuned by appropriate choice of both solvent and surface, and contribute to a predictive strategy for the design of catalytic and separations processes.

Abstract
Water is the most sustainable solvent, but its polarity limits the solubility of non-polar solutes. Confining water in hydrophobic nanopores could be a way to modulate water solvent properties and enable using water as tuneable solvent (WaTuSo).

Abstract
A simple and low-cost approach is developed, by which nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) with a negative potential are assembled inside the mesoporous channels of SBA-15 via capillary force. The unique confined microenvironment leads to a strong interaction between confined NCDs and the inner surface of SBA-15, thus effectively avoiding the aggregation of NCDs. The resultant composite (NCDs-in-SBA-15) exhibits blue fluorescence similar to the NCD aqueous solution, and shows excellent structural, thermal and photostability. Solid NCDs-in-SBA-15 still emits fluorescence even after heat treatment at 400 °C under ambient atmosphere. In addition, NCDs-in-SBA-15 possesses remarkable resistance to acid/alkali solvents. Furthermore, NCDs-in-SBA-15 shows superior selectivity and adsorption capacity to Fe3+. The facile approach and these advantageous performances could make CDs meet the requirements of fluorescent materials in the solid state and then have wider applications.
