Abstract
The competition between host-guest binding and solvent interactions is a crucial factor in determining the binding affinities and selectivity of molecular receptor species. The interplay between these competing interactions, however, have been difficult to disentangle. In particular, the development of molecular-level descriptions of solute-solvent interactions remains a grand experimental challenge. Herein, we investigate the prototypical halide receptor meso-octamethylcalix[4]pyrrole (OMCP) complexed with either chloride or bromide anions in both dichloromethane (DCM) and chloroform (trichloromethane, TCM) solvent using ultrafast infrared transient absorption and 2D IR spectroscopies. OMCP·Br- complexes in both solvents display slower vibrational relaxation dynamics of the OMCP pyrrole NH stretches, consistent with weaker H-bonding interactions with OMCP compared to chloride and less efficient intermolecular relaxation to the solvent. Further, OMCP·Br- complexes show nearly static spectral diffusion dynamics compared to OMCP·Cl-, indicating larger structural fluctuations occur within chloride complexes. Importantly, distinct differences in the vibrational spectra and dynamics are observed between DCM and TCM solutions. The data are consistent with stronger and more perturbative solvent effects in TCM compared to DCM, despite DCM's larger dielectric constant and smaller reported OMCP·X- binding affinities. These differences are attributed to the presence of weak H-bond interactions between halides and TCM, in addition to competing interactions from the bulky tetrabutylammonium countercation. The data provide important experimental benchmarks for quantifying the role of solvent and countercation interactions in anion host-guest complexes.

Abstract
The structural dynamics of highly concentrated LiCl and LiBr aqueous solutions were observed from 1-4 to 1-16 water molecules per ion pair using ultrafast polarization-selective pump-probe (PSPP) experiments on the OD stretch of dilute HOD. At these high salt concentrations, an extended ion/water network exists with complex structural dynamics. Population decays from PSPP experiments highlight two distinct water components. From the frequency-dependent amplitudes of the decays, the spectra of hydroxyls bound to halides and to water oxygens are obtained, which are not observable in the FT-IR spectra. PSPP experiments also measure frequency-dependent water orientational relaxation. At short times, wobbling dynamics within a restricted angular cone occurs. At high concentrations, the cone angles are dependent on frequency (hydrogen bond strength), but at higher water concentrations (>10 waters per ion pair), there is no frequency dependence. The average cone angle increases as the ion concentration decreases. The slow time constant for complete HOD orientational relaxation is independent of concentration but slower in LiCl than in LiBr. Comparison to structural MD simulations of LiCl from the literature indicates that the loss of the cone angle wavelength dependence and the increase in the cone angles as the concentration decreases occur as the prevalence of large ion/water clusters gives way to contact ion pairs.

Abstract
Binary mixtures of water and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) are known to exhibit the so-called percolation transition where small clusters of TBA molecules span into large aggregates beyond a threshold concentration of the alcohol. In the present study, we have investigated the linear and two-dimensional infrared spectral features of aqueous solutions of TBA for varying concentration of the alcohol along the percolation transition. The percolation transition is characterized through calculations of intermolecular radial distribution functions and average size of the largest cluster of TBA molecules. It is found that, with variation of alcohol concentration, the radial distribution functions of the central carbon atoms of TBA molecules show a nonmonotonic change in the height of the first peak and also the size of the largest cluster of TBA molecules show a jump in the increase of its size for TBA mole fraction between 0.04 and 0.06 corresponding to a transition from smaller clusters to larger spanning aggregates. However, it is found that the linear infrared spectrum of water does not exhibit any noticeable changes on variation of TBA concentration along the percolation transition. Subsequently, two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectra and vibrational frequency time correlation function of water are calculated for all the TBA-water solutions considered in this study. The spectral diffusion of water calculated from 2DIR is found to slow down with increase of the TBA concentration. The time scales of spectral diffusion of water, as characterized by the relaxation of frequency time correlation function, 2DIR metric of central line slope, and also the hydrogen bond time correlation functions, are found to exhibit a noticeable jump along the percolation transition. The hydrophilic group of TBA is found to retard the water dynamics more effectively than the hydrophobic groups. Also, the jump in the dynamical slowdown along the percolation transition is found to be more significant for water molecules at the hydrophilic sites.

Perturbative vibration of the coupled hydrogen-bond (O:H-O) in water. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 310:102809.

Abstract
Perturbation Raman spectroscopy has underscored the hydrogen bond (O:H-O or HB) cooperativity and polarizability (HBCP) for water, which offers a proper parameter space for the performance of the HB and electrons in the energy-space-time domains. The OO repulsive coupling drives the O:H-O segmental length and energy to relax cooperatively upon perturbation. Mechanical compression shortens and stiffens the O:H nonbond while lengthens and softens the HO bond associated with polarization. However, electrification by an electric field or charge injection, or molecular undercoordination at a surface, relaxes the O:H-O in a contrasting way to the compression with derivation of the supersolid phase that is viscoelastic, less dense, thermally diffusive, and mechanically and thermally more stable. The HO bond exhibits negative thermal expansivity in the liquid and the ice-I phase while its length responds in proportional to temperature in the quasisolid phase. The O:H-O relaxation modifies the mass densities, phase boundaries, critical temperatures and the polarization endows the slipperiness of ice and superfluidity of water at the nanometer scale. Protons injection by acid solvation creates the H↔H anti-HB and introduction of electron lone pairs derives the O:⇔:O super-HB into the solutions of base or H2O2 hydrogen-peroxide. The repulsive H↔H and O:⇔:O interactions lengthen the solvent HO bond while the solute HO bond contracts because its bond order loss. Differential phonon spectroscopy quantifies the abundance, structure order, and stiffness of the bonds transiting from the mode of pristine water to the perturbed states. The HBCP and the perturbative spectroscopy have enabled the dynamic potentials for the relaxing O:H-O bond. Findings not only amplified the power of the Raman spectroscopy but also substantiated the understanding of anomalies of water subjecting to perturbation.

Abstract
The structural and dynamical properties of nanoconfined solutions can differ dramatically from those of the corresponding bulk systems. Understanding the changes induced by confinement is central to controlling the behavior of synthetic nanostructured materials and predicting the characteristics of biological and geochemical systems. A key outstanding issue is how the molecular-level behavior of nanoconfined electrolyte solutions is reflected in different experimental, particularly spectroscopic, measurements. This is addressed here through molecular dynamics simulations of the OH stretching infrared (IR) spectroscopy of NaCl, NaBr, and NaI solutions in isotopically dilute HOD/D2O confined in hydroxylated amorphous silica slit pores of width 1–6 nm and pH [Formula: see text]. In addition, the water reorientation dynamics and spectral diffusion, accessible by pump–probe anisotropy and two-dimensional IR measurements, are investigated. The aim is to elucidate the effect of salt identity, confinement, and salt concentration on the vibrational spectra. It is found that the IR spectra of the electrolyte solutions are only modestly blue-shifted upon confinement in amorphous silica slit pores, with both the size of the shift and linewidth increasing with the halide size, but these effects are suppressed as the salt concentration is increased. This indicates the limitations of linear IR spectroscopy as a probe of confined water. However, the OH reorientational and spectral diffusion dynamics are significantly slowed by confinement even at the lowest concentrations. The retardation of the dynamics eases with increasing salt concentration and pore width, but it exhibits a more complex behavior as a function of halide.

Abstract
Poor ionic conductivity of the catalyst-binding, sub-micrometer-thick ionomer layers in energy conversion and storage devices is a huge challenge. However, ionomers are rarely designed keeping in mind the specific issues associated with nanoconfinement. Here, we designed nature-inspired ionomers (calix-2) having hollow, macrocyclic, calix[4]arene-based repeat units with precise, sub-nanometer diameter. In ≤100 nm-thick films, the in-plane proton conductivity of calix-2 was up to 8 times higher than the current benchmark ionomer Nafion at 85% relative humidity (RH), while it was 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than Nafion at 20-25% RH. Confocal laser scanning microscopy and other synthetic techniques allowed us to demonstrate the role of macrocyclic cavities in boosting the proton conductivity. The systematic self-assembly of calix-2 chains into ellipsoids in thin films was evidenced from atomic force microscopy and grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering measurements. Moreover, the likelihood of alignment and stacking of macrocyclic units, the presence of one-dimensional water wires across this macrocycle stacks, and thus the formation of long-range proton conduction pathways were suggested by atomistic simulations. We not only did see an unprecedented improvement in thin-film proton conductivity but also saw an improvement in proton conductivity of bulk membranes when calix-2 was added to the Nafion matrices. Nafion-calix-2 composite membranes also took advantage of the asymmetric charge distribution across calix[4]arene repeat units collectively and exhibited voltage-gating behavior. The inclusion of molecular macrocyclic cavities into the ionomer chemical structure can thus emerge as a promising design concept for highly efficient ion-conducting and ion-permselective materials for sustainable energy applications.

Abstract
In this Perspective, we present the unique gas adsorption capabilities of porous liquids (PLs) and the value of complex computational methods in the design of PL compositions. Traditionally, liquids only contain transient pore space between molecules that limit long-term gas capture. However, PLs are stable fluids that that contain permanent porosity due to the combination of a rigid porous host structure and a solvent. PLs exhibit remarkable adsorption and separation properties, including increased solubility and selectivity. The unique gas adsorption properties of PLs are based on their structure, which exhibits multiple gas binding sites in the pore and on the cage surface, varying binding mechanisms including hydrogen-bonding and π-π interactions, and selective diffusion in the solvent. Tunable PL compositions will require fundamental investigations of competitive gas binding mechanisms, thermal effects on binding site stability, and the role of nanoconfinement on gas and solvent diffusion that can be accelerated through molecular modeling. With these new insights PLs promise to be an exceptional material class with tunable properties for targeted gas adsorption.

Abstract
Aerosol-OT reverse micelles represent a chemical construct where surfactant molecules self-assemble to stabilize water nanodroplets 1-10 nm in diameter. Although commonly assumed to adopt a spherical shape, all-atom molecular dynamics simulations and some experimental studies predict a nonspherical shape. If these aggregates are not spherical, then what shape do they take? Because the tools needed to evaluate the shape of something that lacks regular structure, order, or symmetry are not well developed, we present a set of three intuitive metrics─coordinate-pair eccentricity, convexity, and the curvature distribution─that estimate the shape of an amorphous object, and we demonstrate their use on a simulated aerosol-OT reverse micelle. These metrics are all well-established methods and principles in mathematics, and each provides unique information about the shape. Together, these metrics provide intuitive descriptions of amorphous shapes, facilitate ways to quantify those shapes, and follow their changes over time.

Abstract
The co-involvement of biological molecules and nanomaterials has increasingly come to the fore in modern-day applications. While the "bio-nano" (BN) interface presents physico-chemical characteristics that are manifestly different from those observed in isotropic bulk conditions, the underlying molecular reasons remain little understood; this is especially true of anomalies in interfacial hydration. In this paper, we leverage atomistic simulations to study differential adsorption characteristics of a small protein on the inner (concave) surface of a single-walled carbon nanotube whose diameter exceeds dimensions conducive to single-file water movement. Our findings indicate that the extent of adsorption is decided by the degree of foldedness of the protein conformational substate. Importantly, we find that partially folded substates, but not the natively folded one, induce reorganization of the protein hydration layer into an inner layer water closer to the nanotube axis and an outer layer water in the interstitial space near the nanotube walls. Further analyses reveal sharp dynamical differences between water molecules in the two layers as observed in the onset of increased heterogeneity in rotational relaxation and the enhanced deviation from Fickian behavior. The vibrational density of states reveals that the dynamical distinctions are correlated with differences in crucial bands in the power spectra. The current results set the stage for further systematic studies of various BN interfaces vis-à-vis control of hydration properties.

Abstract
The properties of the water network in concentrated HCl acid pools in nanometer-sized reverse non-ionic micelles were probed with TeraHertz absorption, dielectric relaxation spectroscopy, and reactive force field simulations capable of describing proton hopping mechanisms. We identify that only at a critical micelle size of W0=9 do solvated proton complexes form in the water pool, accompanied by a change in mechanism from Grotthuss forward shuttling to one that favors local oscillatory hopping. This is due to a preference for H+ and Cl- ions to adsorb to the micelle interface, together with an acid concentration effect that causes a "traffic jam" in which the short-circuiting of the hydrogen-bonding motif of the hydronium ion decreases the forward hopping rate throughout the water interior even as the micelle size increases. These findings have implications for atmospheric chemistry, biochemical and biophysical environments, and energy materials, as transport of protons vital to these processes can be suppressed due to confinement, aggregation, and/or concentration.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF)-based separators in Li-ion batteries (LIBs) have the potential to improve the battery performance. The mobility and conduction of lithium and organic ionic liquids (ILs) in these materials acting as (quasi) solid-state electrolytes are crucial for the battery power output. Here, we investigate the mobility of a Li-based IL in MOF nanopores and unveil the details of the conduction mechanism by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. A complex conductivity depending on the Li-IL loading and on the IL composition is observed. Most importantly, the presence of Li prevents the collapse of the conductivity at high IL loadings. The fully atomistic MD simulations including guest-guest and guest-host interactions elucidate the competing mechanisms: Li follows a Grotthuss-like conduction mechanism with large mobility. While at small pore fillings, the Li conduction is limited by the large distance between the anions facilitating the Grotthuss-like conduction; the conduction at high pore fillings is governed by field-induced concentration inhomogeneities. Because of the small MOF pore windows, which hinders the simultaneous passage of the large IL cations and anions in opposite directions, the IL shows field-induced MOF pore blocking and ion bunching. The regions of low anion concentration and high cation concentration represent barriers for Li, decreasing its mobility. In comparison to Li-free IL, the IL bunching effect is attenuated by the formation of charge-neutral Li-anion complexes, resulting in a tremendously increased conductivity at maximum pore filling. The exploitation of this mechanism may enhance the development of advanced batteries based on IL and nanoporous separators.

Abstract
Fluids exhibit remarkable variation in their structural and dynamic properties when they are confined at the nanoscopic scale. Various factors, including geometric restriction, the size and shape of the guest molecules, the topology of the host, and guest-host interactions, are responsible for the alterations in these properties. Due to their porous structures, aluminosilicates provide a suitable host system for studying the diffusion of sorbates in confinement. Zeolites and clays are two classes of the aluminosilicate family, comprising very ordered porous or layered structures. Zeolitic materials are important due to their high catalytic activity and molecular sieving properties. Guest molecules adsorbed by zeolites display many interesting features including unidimensional diffusion, non-isotropic rotation, preferred orientation and levitation effects, depending on the guest and host characteristics. These are useful for the separation of hydrocarbons which commonly exist as mixtures in nature. Similarly, clay materials have found application in catalysis, desalination, enhanced oil recovery, and isolation barriers used in radioactive waste disposal. It has been shown that the bonding interactions, level of hydration, interlayer spacing, and number of charge-balancing cations are the important factors that determine the nature of diffusion of water molecules in clays. Here, we present a review of the current status of the diffusion mechanisms of various adsorbed species in different microporous zeolites and clays, as investigated using quasielastic neutron scattering and classical molecular dynamics simulation techniques. It is impossible to write an exhaustive review of the subject matter, as it has been explored over several decades and involves many research topics. However, an effort is made to cover the relevant issues specific to the dynamics of different molecules in microporous zeolites and clay materials and to highlight a variety of interesting features that are important for both practical applications and fundamental aspects.

Abstract
The dynamics of a vibrational frequency in a condensed phase environment, i.e., the spectral diffusion, has attracted considerable interest over the last two decades. A significant impetus has been the development of two-dimensional infrared (2D-IR) photon-echo spectroscopy that represents a direct experimental probe of spectral diffusion, as measured by the frequency-frequency time correlation function (FFCF). In isotopically dilute water, which is perhaps the most thoroughly studied system, the standard interpretation of the longest timescale observed in the FFCF is that it is associated with hydrogen-bond exchange dynamics. Here, we investigate this connection by detailed analysis of both the spectral diffusion timescales and their associated activation energies. The latter are obtained from the recently developed fluctuation theory for the dynamics approach. The results show that the longest timescale of spectral diffusion obtained by the typical analysis used cannot be directly associated with hydrogen-bond exchanges. The hydrogen-bond exchange time does appear in the decay of the water FFCF, but only as an additional, small-amplitude (<3%) timescale. The dominant contribution to the long-time spectral diffusion dynamics is considerably shorter than the hydrogen-bond exchange time and exhibits a significantly smaller activation energy. It thus arises from hydrogen-bond rearrangements, which occur in between successful hydrogen-bond partner exchanges, and particularly from hydrogen bonds that transiently break before returning to the same acceptor.

Abstract
Hydration of surface ions gives rise to structural heterogeneity and variable exchange kinetics of water at complex mineral-water interfaces. Here, we employ ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations and water adsorption calorimetry to examine the aqueous interfaces of xenotime, a phosphate mineral that contains predominantly Y3+ and heavy rare earth elements. Consistent with natural crystal morphology, xenotime is predicted to have a tetragonal prismatic shape, dominated by the {100} surface. Hydration of this surface induces multilayer interfacial water structures with distinct OH orientations, which agrees with recent crystal truncation rod measurements. The exchange kinetics between two adjacent water layers exhibits a wide range of underlying timescales (5-180 picoseconds), dictated by ion-water electrostatics. Adsorption of a bidentate hydroxamate ligand reveals that {100} xenotime surface can only accommodate monodentate coordination with water exchange kinetics strongly depending on specific ligand orientation, prompting us to reconsider traditional strategies for selective separation of rare-earth minerals.

Abstract
The structure, dynamics, and vibrational spectroscopy of dilute HOD, methanol, and ethanol in the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [emim][NTf2], ionic liquid (IL) are investigated with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The structure of the ILs around the solutes is qualitatively similar, where the OD bond of the deuterated alcohols donates an interaction to an [NTf2] anion and the [emim] cations interact with the oxygen atom of the OD group. The slowest time scale for the reorientational dynamics of the OD bond varied considerably for HOD, methanol, and ethanol (27, 71, and 87 ps, respectively). In contrast, the slowest time scales for spectral diffusion of the OD vibrational frequency were 11 ps for each of the three solutes, which indicates that the dynamics of the IL is relatively unchanged by the presence of the alcohols at dilute concentration. The theoretical results for the reorientational and spectral diffusion dynamics compare favorably with prior two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectroscopic measurements.

Abstract
A theoretical study of the time-dependent vibrational echo spectroscopy of sodium bromide solutions in deuterated water at two different concentrations of 0.5 and 5.0 M and at temperatures of 300 and 350 K is presented using the method of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. The instantaneous fluctuations in frequencies of local OD stretch modes are calculated using time-series analysis of the simulated trajectories. The third-order polarization and intensities of three pulse photon-echo are calculated from ab initio simulations. The timescales of vibrational spectral diffusion are determined from the frequency time correlation functions (FTCF) and short-time slope of three pulse photon echo (S3PE) calculated within the second-order cumulant and Condon approximations. It is found that under ambient conditions, the rate of vibrational spectral diffusion becomes slower with increase in ionic concentration. Decay of S3PE calculated for different systems give timescales, which are in close agreement with those of FTCF and also with the results of experimental time-dependent vibrational spectroscopic experiments. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
The impact of pore geometry and functionality on the dynamics of water nanoconfined in porous media are the subject of some debate. We report the synthesis and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) characterization of a series of perdeuterated gemini surfactant lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs), in which convex, water-filled nanopores of well-defined dimensions are lined with carboxylate functionalities. Quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) measurements of the translational water dynamics in these dicarboxylate LLC nanopores as functions of the surfactant hydration state and the charge compensating counterion (Na+, K+, NMe4+) reveal that the measured dynamics depend primarily on surfactant hydration, with an unexpected counterion dependence that varies with hydration number. We rationalize these trends in terms of a balance between counterion-water attractions and the nanopore volume excluded by the counterions. On the basis of electron density maps derived from SAXS analyses of these LLCs, we directly show that the volume excluded by the counterions depends on both their size and spatial distribution in the water-filled channels. The translational water dynamics in the convex pores of these LLCs are also slower than those reported in the concave pores of AOT reverse micelles, implying that water dynamics also depend on the nanopore curvature.

Abstract
Nanoscale confinement is known to impact properties of molecules and we observed changes in the reactivity of an iron coordination complex, pentacyano(pyrazine)ferrate(II). The confinement of two coordination complexes in a sodium AOT/isooctane reverse micellar (RM) water droplet was found to dramatically increase the hydrolysis rate of [Fe(CN)₅pyz]3- and change the monomer-dimer equilibria between [Fe(CN)₅pyz]3- and [Fe₂(CN)10pyz]6-. Combined UV-Vis and ¹H-NMR spectra of these complexes in RMs were analyzed and the position of the monomer-dimer equilibrium and the relative reaction times were determined at three different RM sizes. The data show that the hydrolysis rates (loss of pyrazine) are dramatically enhanced in RMs over bulk water and increase as the size of the RM decreases. Likewise, the monomer-dimer equilibrium changes to favor the formation of dimer as the RM size decreases. We conclude that the effects of the [Fe(CN)₅pyz]3- stability is related to its solvation within the RM.

Abstract
The dynamics of confined water is of fundamental and long-standing interest. In technologically important forms of confinement, such as proton-exchange membranes, electrostatic interactions with the confining matrix and counterions play significant roles on the properties of water. There has been recent interest on the dynamics of water confined to the lyotropic liquid crystalline (LLC) morphologies of Gemini dicarboxylate surfactants. These systems are exciting because the nature of confinement, for example, size and curvature of channels and surface functionality is dictated by the chemistry of the self-assembling surfactant molecules. Quasielastic neutron scattering experiments have shown an interesting dependence of the water self-diffusion constant, Dα, on the identity (denoted α) of the counterion: at high hydration, the magnitude of the water self-diffusion constant is in the order DTMA < DNa < DK, where TMA, Na, and K refer to tetramethyl ammonium, sodium, and potassium counterions, respectively. This sequence is similar to what is seen in bulk electrolyte solutions. At low hydrations, however, the order of water self-diffusion is different, that is, DNa < DTMA < DK. In this work, we present molecular dynamics simulations for the dynamics of water in the LLC phases of dicarboxylate Gemini surfactants. The simulations reproduce the trends seen in experiments. From an analysis of the trajectories, we hypothesize that two competing factors play a role: the volume accessible to the water molecules and the correlations between the water and the counterion. The excluded volume effect is the largest with TMA+, and the electrostatic correlation is the strongest with Na+. The observed trend is a result of which of these two effects is dominant at a given water to surfactant ratio.

Abstract
Electrostatic polarization or molecular undercoordination endows the supersolidity by shortening and stiffening the H–O bond and lengthening and softening the O:H nonbond, deepening the O 1s energy level, and prolonging the photoelectron and phonon lifetime. The supersolid phase is less dense, viscoelastic, mechanically and thermally more stable, which offsets boundaries of structural phases and critical temperatures for phase transition of the coordination-resolved core–shell structured ice such as the ‘no man's land’ supercooling and superheating.

Abstract
Understanding the dynamics of water under nanoscale confinement is important for biology, geology, tribology, and nanotechnology. In many naturally occurring situations, ions are present in water at various concentrations. Here we report on how the addition of sodium ions alters the squeeze-out behavior of water nanoconfined between a mica surface and silicon oxide tip. We find that Na+ ions enhance molecular ordering and lead to longer mechanical relaxation times. We also observed a critical ion concentration, above which the confined water switches from a viscous to an elastic (solid-like) response at very slow, quasistatic compression speeds.

Abstract
The dynamics of water confined to nanometer-sized domains is important in a variety of applications ranging from proton exchange membranes to crowding effects in biophysics. In this work, we study the dynamics of water in gemini surfactant-based lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) using molecular dynamics simulations. These systems have well characterized morphologies, for example, hexagonal, gyroid, and lamellar, and the surfaces of the confining regions can be controlled by modifying the headgroup of the surfactants. This allows one to study the effect of topology, functionalization, and interfacial curvature on the dynamics of confined water. Through analysis of the translational diffusion and rotational relaxation, we conclude that the hydration level and resulting confinement length scale is the predominate determiner of the rates of water dynamics, and other effects, namely, surface functionality and curvature, are largely secondary. This novel analysis of the water dynamics in these LLC systems provides an important comparison for previous studies of water dynamics in lipid bilayers and reverse micelles.

Abstract
The structure and dynamics of phospholipid reverse micelles are studied by molecular dynamics. We report all-atom unconstrained simulations of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) reverse micelles in benzene of increasing sizes, with water-to-surfactant number ratios ranging from W0 = 1 to 16. The aggregation number, i.e., the number of DOPC molecules per reverse micelle, is determined to fit experimental light-scattering measurements of the reverse micelle diameter. The simulated reverse micelles are found to be approximately spherical. Larger reverse micelles (W0 > 4) exhibit a layered structure with a water core and the hydration structure of DOPC phosphate head groups is similar to that found in phospholipid membranes. In contrast, the structure of smaller reverse micelles (W0 ≤ 4) cannot be described as a series of concentric layers successively containing water, surfactant head groups, and surfactant tails, and the head groups are only partly hydrated and frequently present in the core. The dynamics of water molecules within the phospholipid reverse micelles slow down as the reverse micelle size decreases, in agreement with prior studies on AOT and Igepal reverse micelles. However, the average water reorientation dynamics in DOPC reverse micelles is found to be much slower than in AOT and Igepal reverse micelles with the same W0 ratio. This is explained by the smaller water pool and by the stronger interactions between water and the charged head groups, as confirmed by the red-shift of the computed infrared line shape with decreasing W0.

Abstract
Hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) play an important role in determining the structures and dynamics of molecular systems. In this work, we investigated the effect of H-bonds on the vibrational population relaxation and orientational relaxation dynamics of HN3 and N3(-) in methanol (CH3OH) and N,N-dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) using polarization-controlled infrared pump-probe spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. Our detailed analysis of experimental and computational results reveals that both vibrational population relaxation and orientational relaxation dynamics of HN3 and N3(-) in CH3OH and DMSO are substantially dependent on the strength of the H-bonds between the probing solute and its surrounding solvent. Especially in the case of N3(-) in CH3OH, the vibrational population relaxation of N3(-) is found to occur by a direct intermolecular vibrational energy transfer to CH3OH due to large vibrational coupling strength. The orientational relaxation dynamics of HN3 and N3(-), which are well fit by a biexponential function, are analyzed by the wobbling-in-a-cone model and extended Debye-Stokes-Einstein equation. Depending on the intermolecular interactions, the slow overall orientational relaxation occurs under slip, stick, and superstick boundary conditions. For HN3 and N3(-) in CH3OH and DMSO, the vibrational population relaxation becomes faster but the orientational relaxation becomes slower as the H-bond strength is increased. Our current results imply that H-bonds have significant effects on the vibrational population relaxation and orientational relaxation dynamics of a small solute whose size is comparable to the size of the solvent.
