Abstract
This review gives an overview of current trends in the investigation of confined molecules such as water, small and higher alcohols, carbonic acids, ethylene glycol, and non-ionic surfactants, such as polyethylene glycol or Triton-X, as guest molecules in neat and functionalized mesoporous silica materials employing solid-state NMR spectroscopy, supported by calorimetry and molecular dynamics simulations. The combination of steric interactions, hydrogen bonds, and hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions results in a fascinating phase behavior in the confinement. Combining solid-state NMR and relaxometry, DNP hyperpolarization, molecular dynamics simulations, and general physicochemical techniques, it is possible to monitor these confined molecules and gain deep insights into this phase behavior and the underlying molecular arrangements. In many cases, the competition between hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions between polar and non-polar moieties of the guests and the host leads to the formation of ordered structures, despite the cramped surroundings inside the pores.

Abstract
Spin-lattice relaxation rates R1(ω,T), probed via high-field and field-cycling nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), are used to test the validity of frequency-temperature superposition (FTS) for the reorientation dynamics in viscous liquids. For several liquids, FTS is found to apply so that master curves can be generated. The susceptibility spectra are highly similar to those obtained from depolarized light scattering (DLS) and reveal an excess wing. Where FTS works, two approaches are suggested to access the susceptibility: (i) a plot of deuteron R1(T) vs the spin-spin relaxation rate R2(T) and (ii) a plot of R1(T) vs an independently measured reference time τref(T). Using single-frequency scans, (i) allows one to extract the relaxation stretching as well as the NMR coupling constant. Surveying 26 data sets, we find Kohlrausch functions with exponents 0.39 < βK ≤ 0.67. Plots of the spin-spin relaxation rate R2─rescaled by the NMR coupling constant─as a function of temperature allow one to test how well site-specific NMR relaxations couple to a given reference process. Upon cooling of flexible molecule liquids, the site-specific dynamics is found to merge, suggesting that near Tg the molecules reorient essentially as a rigid entity. This presents a possible resolution for the much lower stretching parameters reported here at high temperatures that contrast with the ones that were reported to be universal in a recent DLS study close to Tg. Our analysis underlines that deuteron relaxation is a uniquely powerful tool to probe single-particle reorientation.

Abstract
This review gives an overview of current trends in the investigation of confined molecules such as higher alcohols, ethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol as guest molecules in neat and functionalized mesoporous silica materials. All these molecules have both hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts. They are characteristic role-models for the investigation of confined surfactants. Their properties are studied by a combination of solid-state NMR and relaxometry with other physicochemical techniques and molecular dynamics techniques. It is shown that this combination delivers unique insights into the structure, arrangement, dynamical properties and the guest-host interactions inside the confinement.

Abstract
This review gives an overview of current trends in the investigation of small guest molecules, confined in neat and functionalized mesoporous silica materials by a combination of solid-state NMR and relaxometry with other physico-chemical techniques. The reported guest molecules are water, small alcohols, and carbonic acids, small aromatic and heteroaromatic molecules, ionic liquids, and surfactants. They are taken as characteristic role-models, which are representatives for the typical classes of organic molecules. It is shown that this combination delivers unique insights into the structure, arrangement, dynamics, guest-host interactions, and the binding sites in these confined systems, and is probably the most powerful analytical technique to probe these systems.

Abstract
Abstract
Effects of interfaces on hydrogen-bonded liquids play major roles in nature and technology. Despite their importance, a fundamental understanding of these effects is still lacking. In large parts, this shortcoming is due to the high complexity of these systems, leading to an interference of various interactions and effects. Therefore, it is advisable to take gradual approaches, which start from well designed and defined model systems and systematically increase the level of intricacy towards more complex mimetics. Moreover, it is necessary to combine insights from a multitude of methods, in particular, to link novel preparation strategies and comprehensive experimental characterization with inventive computational and theoretical modeling. Such concerted approach was taken by a group of preparative, experimentally, and theoretically working scientists in the framework of Research Unit FOR 1583 funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation). This special issue summarizes the outcome of this collaborative research. In this introductory article, we give an overview of the covered topics and the main results of the whole consortium. The following contributions are review articles or original works of individual research projects.

Abstract
Abstract
A series of novel functionalized mesoporous silica-based materials with well-defined pore diameters, surface functionalization and surface morphology is synthesized by co-condensation or grafting techniques and characterized by solid-state NMR spectroscopy, DNP enhanced solid state-NMR and thermodynamic techniques. These materials are employed as host-systems for small-guest molecules like water, small alcohols, carbonic acids, small aromatic molecules, binary mixtures and others. The phase-behavior of these confined guests is studied by combinations of one dimensional solid-state NMR techniques (1H MAS, 2H-line shape analysis, 13C CPMAS) and two-dimensional correlation experiments like 1H-29Si- solid-state HETCOR.

Abstract
Abstract
Mesoporous silica MCM-41 is prepared, for which the inner surfaces are modified by 3-(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) in a controlled manner. Nitrogen gas adsorpition yields a pore diameter of 2.2 nm for the APTES functionalized MCM-41. 2H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) provide detailed and consistent insights into the temperature-dependent reorientation dynamics of water in this confinement. We find that a liquid water species becomes accompanied by a solid water species when cooling through ~210 K, as indicated by an onset of bimodal 2H spin-lattice relaxation. The reorientation of the liquid water species is governed by pronounced dynamical heterogeneity in the whole temperature range. Its temperature dependence shows a mild dynamic crossover when the solid water species emerges and, hence, the volume accessible to the liquid water species further shrinks. Therefore, we attribute this variation in the temperature dependence to a change from bulk-like behavior towards interface-dominated dynamics. Below this dynamic crossover, 2H line-shape and stimulted-echo studies show that water reorientation becomes anisotropic upon cooling, suggesting that these NMR approaches, but also BDS measurements do no longer probe the structural (α) relaxation, but rather a secondary (β) relaxation of water at sufficiently low temperatures. Then, another dynamic crossover at ~180 K can be rationalized in terms of a change of the temperature dependence of the β relaxation in response to a glassy freezing of the α relaxation of confined water. Comparing these results for APTES modied MCM-41 with previous findings for mesoporous silica with various pore diameters, we obtain valuable information about the dependence of water dynamics in restricted geometries on the size of the nanoscopic confinements and the properties of the inner surfaces.

=176 kHz) and (η=0.04) are observed. All samples exhibit a strong reduction of the melting point from the bulk value of 342.4 K to values between 222 K and 229 K, depending on both the pore diameter and the surface state and a glass like behavior of the biphenyl molecules in the melting regime. Employing the Roessler two-phase model of the modeling of glass-transitions by 2H-solid state NMR the distribution of activation energies for the rotational motions has been determined. At temperatures closely below the glass-transition temperature deviations from a static Pake pattern of an aromatic deuteron are observed, which indicate a pre-melting motion of biphenyl, which could be caused by C2-ring flips of the phenyl rings.

Abstract
Abstract
The dynamics of partially deuterated water in zeolite NaY(Br) are investigated by a combination of several NMR methods for two different loadings, 4 water molecules and 18 water molecules per supercage. Information on local dynamics is obtained by 1H and 2H NMR spin-lattice relaxation, 2H NMR solid-echo spectra and 2H NMR stimulated echo decay curves. The water long range diffusion has been studied by 1H NMR static field gradient experiments. The most important findings are as follows: The mechanism of water dynamics depends strongly on the degree of loading. This is clearly reflected in both, local and long range motion. The intermediate 2H NMR spectra might be explained referring to a model proposed by O'Hare et al.: It is based on two different populations of water molecules performing tetrahedral jumps respectively C2-flips of their OH bonds. Alternative models for the local water dynamics, distorted tetrahedral jumps and a distribution of correlation times, are also discussed.

Abstract
In the last fifteen years several novel porous silica materials, which are periodically structured on the mesoscopic length scale, have been synthesized. They are of broad interest for fundamental studies of surface-substrate interactions, for studies of the dynamics of guest molecules in confinement and for studies of the effect of confinement on the structural and thermophysical properties of fluids. Examples of such confinement effects include the change of the freezing and melting points or glass transitions of the confined liquids. These effects are studied by combinations of several NMR techniques, such as (15)N- and (2)H-solid-state NMR line shape analysis, MAS NMR and NMR diffusometry with physico-chemical characterization techniques such as nitrogen adsorption and small angle diffraction of neutrons or X-rays. This combination does not require crystalline samples or special clean and well defined surfaces such as conventional surface science techniques, but can work with typical ill-defined real world systems. The review discusses, after a short introduction, the salient features of these materials and the applied NMR experiments to give the reader a basic knowledge of the systems and the experiments. The rest of the review then focuses on the structural and dynamical properties of guest molecules confined in the mesoporous silica. It is shown that the confinement into the pores leads to fascinating new features of the guests, which are often not known for their bulk phases. These features depend strongly on the interplay of the their interactions with the silica surface and their mutual interactions.

Abstract
We investigate ion and polymer dynamics in polymer electrolytes PPO-LiClO4 performing 2H and 7Li NMR line-shape analysis. Comparison of temperature dependent 7Li and 2H NMR spectra gives evidence for a coupling of ion and polymer dynamics. 2H NMR spectra for various salt concentrations reveal a strong slowdown of the polymer segmental motion when the salt content is increased. The 2H NMR line shape further indicates that the segmental motion is governed by dynamical heterogeneities. While the width of the distribution of correlation times G(log tau) is moderate for low and high salt content, an extremely broad distribution exists for an intermediate salt concentration of 15:1 PPO-LiClO4. For the latter composition, a weighted superposition of two spectral components, reflecting the fast and the slow polymer segments of the distribution, describes the 2H NMR line shape over a broad temperature range. Analysis of the temperature dependent relative intensity of both spectral components indicates the existence of a continuous rather than a discontinuous distribution G(log tau). Such continuous distribution is consistent with gradual fluctuations of the local salt concentration and, hence, of the local environments of the polymer segments, whereas it is at variance with the existence of large salt-depleted and salt-rich domains featuring fast and slow polymer dynamics, respectively. Finally, for all studied PPO-LiClO4 mixtures, the 2H NMR line shape strongly depends on the echo delay in the applied echo-pulse sequence, indicating that the structural relaxation of the polymer segments involves successive rotational jumps about small angles gamma < 20 degrees .

Abstract
The application of 1H MAS NMR allows a detailed study of the behavior of ethylene glycol adsorbed in NaX zeolites which may be used to understand the effect of confinement. Typical changes in the chemical shift values for the CH2 and OH groups were found which are very sensitive to interactions between the molecules and the internal surfaces. This allows clear differentiation between molecules within the zeolite cages and those adsorbed at the outer surface of the zeolite grains and also allows study of the dynamics of the different species. Selective 1H T1 measurements were carried out for various pore-filling degrees where large differences were found in the thermal mobility. It is shown that for the molecules inside the supercages, a dynamic heterogeneity occurs which may be related to the competing influences of molecule-internal surface interactions and molecule-molecule interactions within a network of intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
