Abstract
It has now been established that large angular jumps do take place when a rotating water molecule exchanges its hydrogen bond (H-bond) identity. This motion differs from the small angular diffusional steps occurring within short time intervals which define the 'Debye diffusion model' of water dynamics. We intend to investigate whether these two processes do eventually complement each other. In this present investigation the orientational dynamics of water in its mixture with a small hydrophobic molecule 1,2-dimethoxy ethane (DME) is studied microscopically using the all-atom classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation technique. We found that the reorientational motions of water molecules are governed by continuous making and breaking of intermolecular H-bonds with their partners. We characterise these H-bond reorientation motions with the description of the "large amplitude angular jump model" and explore the coupling between the rotational and translational motions. By following the trajectories of each molecule in the solutions we describe the orientational dynamics of liquid water with a 'continuous time random walk' (CTRW) approach. Finally, we explore the diffusivity distribution through the jump properties of the water molecules, which successfully leads to the inherent transient heterogeneity of the solutions. We observe that the heterogeneity increases with increasing DME content in the mixtures. Our study correlates the coupling between rotational and translational motions of water molecules in the mixtures.

Second Harmonic Generation for Moisture Monitoring in Dimethoxyethane at a Gold-Solvent Interface Using Plasmonic Structures. NANOMATERIALS 2019; 9:nano9121788. [PMID: 31888197 PMCID: PMC6955981 DOI: 10.3390/nano9121788] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2019] [Revised: 12/09/2019] [Accepted: 12/12/2019] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
Second harmonic generation (SHG) is forbidden from most bulk metals because metals are characterized by centrosymmetric symmetry. Adsorption or desorption of molecules at the metal interface can break the symmetry and lead to SHG responses. Yet, the response is relatively low, and minute changes occurring at the interface, especially at solid/liquid interfaces, like in battery electrodes are difficult to assess. Herein, we use a plasmonic structure milled in a gold electrode to increase the overall SHG signal from the interface and gain information about small changes occurring at the interface. Using a specific homebuilt cell, we monitor changes at the liquid/electrode interface. Specifically, traces of water in dimethoxyethane (DME) have been detected following changes in the SHG responses from the plasmonic structures. We propose that by plasmonic structures this technique can be used for assessing minute changes occurring at solid/liquid interfaces such as battery electrodes.

Abstract
The experimental 195Pt NMR chemical shift, δ(195Pt), of the [PtCl6]2- anion dissolved in binary mixtures of water and a fully miscible organic solvent is extremely sensitive to the composition of the mixture at room temperature. Significantly nonlinear δ(195Pt) trends as a function of solvent composition are observed in mixtures of water-methanol, or ethylene glycol, 2-methoxyethanol, and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME). The extent of the deviation from linearity of the δ(195Pt) trend depends strongly on the nature of the organic component in these solutions, which broadly suggests preferential solvation of the [PtCl6]2- anion by the organic molecule. This simplistic interpretation is based on an accepted view pertaining to monovalent cations in similar binary solvent mixtures. To elucidate these phenomena in detail, classical molecular dynamics computer simulations were performed for [PtCl6]2- in water-methanol and water-DME mixtures using the anionic charge scaling approach to account for the effect of electronic dielectric screening. Our simulations suggest that the simplistic model of preferential solvation of [PtCl6]2- by the organic component as inferred from nonlinear δ(195Pt) trends is not entirely accurate, particularly for water-DME mixtures. The δ(195Pt) trend in these mixtures levels off for high DME mole fractions, which results from apparent preferential location of [PtCl6]2- anions at the borders of water-rich regions or clusters within these inherently micro-heterogeneous mixtures. By contrast in water-methanol mixtures, apparently less pronounced mixed solvent micro-heterogeneity is found, suggesting the experimental δ(195Pt) trend is consistent with a more moderate preferential solvation of [PtCl6]2- anions. This finding underlines the important role of solvent-solvent interactions and micro-heterogeneity in determining the solvation environment of [PtCl6]2- anions in binary solvent mixtures, probed by highly sensitive 195Pt NMR. The notion that preferential solvation of [PtCl6]2- results primarily from competing ion-solvent interactions as generally assumed for monatomic ions, may not be appropriate in general.

Abstract
The laser-induced fluorescence spectra of jet-cooled benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6) and dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) exhibit a number of vibronic bands in the 35 000-37 000 cm(-1) region. We attribute these bands to monomers and hydrated clusters by fluorescence-detected IR-UV and UV-UV double resonance spectroscopy. We found four and two conformers for bare B18C6 and DB18C6, and the hydration of one water molecule reduces the number of isomers to three and one for B18C6-(H(2)O)(1) and DB18C6-(H(2)O)(1), respectively. The IR-UV spectra of B18C6-(H(2)O)(1) and DB18C6-(H(2)O)(1) suggest that all isomers of the monohydrated clusters have a double proton-donor type (bidentate) hydration. That is, the water molecule is bonded to B18C6 or DB18C6 via two O-H[dot dot dot]O hydrogen bonds. The blue shift of the electronic origin of the monohydrated clusters and the quantum chemical calculation suggest that the water molecule in B18C6-(H(2)O)(1) and DB18C6-(H(2)O)(1) prefers to be bonded to the ether oxygen atoms near the benzene ring.

Abstract
Fully polarised positive muons substituted for protons in organic free radicals can be used as spin labels which reveal information about the structure, dynamics and environment of these radicals. In applications via the technique of avoided-level-crossing muon spin resonance (ALC-microSR), the positive muon has been used to study the partitioning of phenyl alcohols in lamellar phase colloidal dispersions of a cationic dichain surfactant. Here we describe the experimental technique which permits highly sensitive spectroscopy as previously demonstrated for surfactant mixtures. We also demonstrate its capability in the study of partitioning of cosurfactant molecules in surfactant bilayers in order to elucidate the main factors which contribute to cosurfactant ordering at interfaces. The technique takes advantage of the positive muon combining with an electron to a hydrogen-like atom that is called muonium. This atom attaches to a phenyl group, forming a cyclohexadienyl-type radical that contains the muon as a polarised spin label, providing an excellent probe even for very low phenyl alcohol concentrations. The position of one type of resonance, which on the basis of spectroscopic selection rules is denoted as Delta(0), is related to the solvent polarity of the radicals' environment. The results derived from Delta(0) measurements reveal a systematic trend where the increasing chain length of the phenyl alcohol results in a deeper immersion of the phenyl ring of the alcohol into the surfactant bilayer with the OH group anchored at the interface. In addition, the data suggest partial penetration of water molecules into the bilayer. Furthermore, data ensuing from a second resonance (called Delta(1), which is dependent upon the degree of confinement of the radical within the surfactant aggregate structure) indicates not only that the phenyl alcohol resides in an anisotropic environment, (i.e. that the host molecule is unable to undergo full 3-D reorientation on a timescale of 50 ns), but the resonance line widths indicate that the radicals are undergoing fast rotation about a particular axis, in this instance about the first C-C substituent bond at the phenyl ring. Detailed analysis of these Delta(1) line shapes suggests that other types of motion involving reorientation of the above rotation axis are also present. At room temperature, the hydrocarbon chains of the double layers form an aggregate state commonly referred to as the L(beta) phase, where the motions of surfactant alkyl chains are effectively frozen out. These chains melt on heating over a temperature range which is solution composition dependent (ca. 51 to 67 degrees C), but in all cases leading to a liquid-like disordered hydrocarbon regime whilst retaining the overall lamellar structure (and in this state is termed L(alpha)). Above the L(alpha)/L(beta) chain ordering phase transition the tracer molecules reside within the bilayer, but below this transition (and depending on their water-oil solubility) they are completely or partly expelled. This interpretation is further supported by Heisenberg spin exchange experiments. The water-bilayer partitioning reflects both typical classical and nonclassical hydrophobic solvation depending on temperature and chain length of phenyl alcohols.

Abstract
The effect of hydrolyzing lactone functional groups on the surfaces of different activated carbons upon the specific and nonspecific interactions between phenobarbital and activated carbon surfaces was studied. The effect of temperature on both specific and nonspecific interactions was also studied. The increase in OH groups on the surfaces of activated carbons, as a result of hydrolyzing surface lactone groups, caused an increase in the specific adsorption capacity (K(2)) for phenobarbital without having a significant effect on the hydrophobic bonding capacity (K(HB)). Increasing the temperature at which the adsorption experiment was carried out, on the other hand, resulted in a decrease in K(HB) without having a significant effect on K(2). The decrease in K(HB) per unit temperature increase was the same regardless of the activated carbon. These results are in very good agreement with the modified-Langmuir-like equation (M-LLE).

Abstract
Water structure making/breaking studies in solutions of five alkali halide salts (KF, KI, NaI, CsF and CsCl) in 4 wt% D(2)O in H(2)O mixtures have been performed by FTIR analysis of the OD stretching band in the full solubility range. The proposed method gives a microscopic picture of the water structure making/breaking character of the salts in terms of the hydrogen bonding between the water molecules in the solution. With the exception of CsCl, there is a very good correlation of the structure making/breaking character of the salts determined by FTIR analysis, and the viscosity coefficients of the solutions. The results fully support and explain previous studies of bubble attachment to microscopic salt particles of the above salts. The investigations support the primary importance of interfacial water structure in the explanation of the flotation of alkali halide salts in their brines.

Abstract
AbstractThe hypothesis that the degree of hydration of poly(oxyethylene) (POE) in aqueous solution depends on the mole ratio of water molecules to ether oxygen atoms in the molecule has been verified by studying the isotropic Raman spectra in the O−H stretching region for four short-chain POEs (C 1EnC 1 withn=1−4). Excellent coincidence of the O−H stretching Raman band for all four POEs studied in the range of mole ratio H2O/Oether from 25 to 0.6 was observed, thus confirming the assumption stated above. A conclusion that all ether oxygen atoms in the POE molecule participate in hydrogen bonding with water molecules has been made.
