Abstract
Investigating the effects of electrolyte ions on the adsorption configuration of methanol at a charged interface is important for studying the interface structure of electrolyte solutions and the oxidation mechanism of methanol in fuel cells. This study uses sum frequency generation (SFG) and heterodyne-detected second harmonic generation (HD-SHG) to investigate the adsorption configuration of methanol at the air/aqueous interface of 0.1 M NaClO4 solution, 0.1 M HClO4 solution and pure water. The results elucidate that the ion effect in the electrolyte solution affects the interface's charged state and the methanol's adsorption conformation at the interface. The negatively charged surface of the 0.1 M NaClO4 solution and the positively charged surface of the 0.1 M HClO4 solution arise from the corresponding specific ionic effects of the electrolyte solution. The orientation angle of methyl with respect to the surface normal is 43.4° ± 0.1° at the 0.1 M NaClO4 solution surface and 21.5° ± 0.2° at the 0.1 M HClO4 solution surface. Examining these adsorption configurations in detail, we find that at the negatively charged surface the inclined orientation angle (43.4°) of methanol favors the hydroxymethyl production by breaking the C-H bond, while at the positively charged surface the upright orientation angle (21.5°) of methanol promotes the methoxy formation by breaking the O-H bond. These findings not only illuminate the intricate ion effects on small organic molecules but also contribute to a molecular-level comprehension of the oxidation mechanism of methanol at electrode interfaces.

Abstract
The characterization of liquid-vapor interfaces at the molecular level is an important underpinning for a basic understanding of fundamental heterogeneous processes in many areas, such as atmospheric science. Here we use X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to study the adsorption of a model surfactant, octanoic acid, at the water-gas interface. In particular, we examine the information contained in photoelectron angular distributions and show that information about the relative depth of molecules and functional groups within molecules can be obtained from these measurements. Focusing on the relative location of carboxylate (COO-) and carboxylic acid (COOH) groups at different solution pH, the former is found to be immersed deeper into the liquid-vapor interface, which is confirmed by classical molecular dynamics simulations. These results help establish photoelectron angular distributions as a sensitive tool for the characterization of molecules at the liquid-vapor interface.

Abstract
Electrostatic interactions near surfaces and interfaces are ubiquitous in many fields of science. Continuum electrostatics predicts that ions will be attracted to conducting electrodes but repelled by surfaces with lower dielectric constant than the solvent. However, several recent studies found that certain "chaotropic" ions have similar adsorption behavior at air/water and graphene/water interfaces. Here we systematically study the effect of polarization of the surface, the solvent, and solutes on the adsorption of ions onto the electrode surfaces using molecular dynamics simulation. An efficient method is developed to treat an electrolyte system between two parallel conducting surfaces by exploiting the mirror-expanded symmetry of the exact image-charge solution. With neutral surfaces, the image interactions induced by the solvent dipoles and ions largely cancel each other, resulting in no significant net differences in the ion adsorption profile regardless of the surface polarity. Under an external electric field, the adsorption of ions is strongly affected by the surface polarization, such that the charge separation across the electrolyte and the capacitance of the cell is greatly enhanced with a conducting surface over a low-dielectric-constant surface. While the extent of ion adsorption is highly dependent on the electrolyte model (the polarizability of solvent and solutes, as well as the van der Waals radii), we find the effect of surface polarization on ion adsorption is consistent throughout different electrolyte models.

Abstract
Liquid-vapor interfaces, particularly those between aqueous solutions and air, drive numerous important chemical and physical processes in the atmosphere and in the environment. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is an excellent method for the investigation of these interfaces due to its surface sensitivity, elemental and chemical specificity, and the possibility to obtain information on the depth distribution of solute and solvent species in the interfacial region. In this Perspective, we review the progress that was made in this field over the past decades and discuss the challenges that need to be overcome for investigations of heterogeneous reactions at liquid-vapor interfaces under close-to-realistic environmental conditions. We close with an outlook on where some of the most exciting and promising developments might lie in this field.

Abstract
The adsorption of large, polarizable anions from aqueous solution on the air/water interface controls important atmospheric chemistry and is thought to resemble anion adsorption at hydrophobic interfaces generally. While the favourability of adsorption of such ions is clear, quantifying adsorption thermodynamics has proven challenging because it requires accurate description of the structure of the anion and its solvation shell at the interface. In principle anion polarizability offers a structural window, but to the best of our knowledge there has so far been no experimental technique that allowed its characterization with interfacial specificity. Here, we meet this challenge using interface-specific vibrational spectroscopy of Cl–O vibrations of the \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

Understanding anion-specific interactions with hydrophobic interfaces is challenging due to an absence of local structural probes. Here, the authors experimentally quantify the anisotropy of perchlorate’s polarizability at the air/water interface, a window into anion and solvation shell structure.

Abstract
Hydrated ions are crucially important in a wide array of environments, from biology to the atmosphere, and the presence and concentration of ions in a system can drastically alter its behavior. One way in which ions can affect systems is in their interactions with proteins. The Hofmeister series ranks ions by their ability to salt-out proteins, with kosmotropes, such as sulfate, increasing their stability and chaotropes, such as perchlorate, decreasing their stability. We study hydrated perchlorate clusters as they are strongly chaotropic and thus exhibit different properties than sulfate. In this study we simulate small hydrated perchlorate clusters using a basin-hopping geometry optimization search with empirical potentials. We compare topological features of these clusters to data from both computational and experimental studies of hydrated sulfate ions and draw some conclusions about ion effects in the Hofmeister series. We observe a patterning conferred to the water molecules within the cluster by the presence of the perchlorate ion and compare the magnitude of this effect to that observed in previous studies involving sulfate. We also investigate the influence of the overall ionic charge on the low-energy structures adopted by these clusters.

Abstract
Air/aqueous interfaces provide a unique environment for many chemical, environmental, and biological processes. To gain insight, molecular-level understanding of the interfacial water organization and ion distributions at these interfaces is required. Here, the air/aqueous interface of NaClO4 salt solutions was investigated by means of conventional and heterodyne-detected vibrational sum frequency generation (HD-VSFG) spectroscopy. It is found that perchlorate (ClO4(-)) ions exist in the interfacial region and prefer to reside on average above their counterions. This finding is inferred from the average orientation of the OH transition dipole moment of interfacial water molecules governed by the direction of the net electric field arising from the interfacial ion distributions. At the air/aqueous interface of NaClO4 salt solutions, the net dipole moments of hydrogen-bonded water molecules are oriented preferentially toward the vapor phase. Contrary to some other salts (e.g., sulfates), the presence of ClO4(-) may cause a full reversal in the direction of the interfacial electric field at a higher concentration (≥1.7 M). Another interpretation for the positive Im χ((2)) spectra of NaClO4 salt solutions could be an increase in the population of water species contributing positively to the net OH transition dipole moment. Regardless of the mechanism, this effect becomes even more pronounced with increasing salt concentration.

Abstract
Many physical phenomena are affected by the structure of water interfaces, yet it remains an active and controversial subject. A great deal of recent theoretical endeavour and computer simulations question the validity of the Onsager Samaras theory of the ion-free interface between an electrolyte solution and an hydrophobic surface. Experimental results play a crucial role in assessing the legitimacy of the theories. Experimental data are scarce, while simulation results suggest an increasing surface affinity of ions with increasing chaotropic character, in dramatic contradiction to the classical view. Chromatography is a powerful separative technique, but we originally used it as a tool to detect the adsorption of chloride electrolytes and sodium electrolytes, strongly expected to shun any dielectric boundary, onto an hydrophobic surface, and to rank ions according to their adsorbophilicities. Frontal analysis gave unequivocal experimental evidence to this unexpected phenomenon and it was used to quantify it. The infinite dilution equilibrium constants for adsorption of kosmotropes and chaotropes onto the interface were obtained and contrasted to the Jones-Dole B viscosity coefficients, that is a common quantifier of the Hofmeister effect. It is clear that (i) the more chaotropic the ion is, the more it contributes to the global adsorbophilicity of the electrolyte; (ii) the influence of the variable anion is more than twofold that of the variable cation, thereby confirming a robust observation in many other physical systems. Standard free energy of adsorption for each electrolyte was calculated and its reliability was commented upon. The central issue in this paper is the effective and ascertained adsorption of electrolytes onto an hydrophobic surface and the fact that the adsorbophilicity of an electrolyte may be inferred from its position in the Hofmeister series.

Abstract
We performed molecular dynamics simulations using both polarizable and non-polarizable force fields to study the adsorption of iodide to the air-water interface. A novel aspect of our analysis is that the progress of ion adsorption is measured as the distance from the instantaneous interface, which is defined by a coarse-graining scheme proposed recently by Willard and Chandler ["Instantaneous liquid interfaces," J. Phys. Chem. B 114, 1954-1958 (2010)]. Referring structural and thermodynamic quantities to the instantaneous interface unmasks molecular-scale details that are obscured by thermal fluctuations when the same quantities are referred to an average measure of the position of the interface, such as the Gibbs dividing surface. Our results suggest that an ion adsorbed at the interface resides primarily in the topmost water layer, and the interfacial location of the ion is favored by enthalpy and opposed by entropy.

Abstract
We demonstrate that the driving forces for ion adsorption to the air-water interface for point charge models result from both cavitation and a term that is of the form of a negative electrochemical surface potential. We carefully characterize the role of the free energy due to the electrochemical surface potential computed from simple empirical models and its role in ionic adsorption within the context of dielectric continuum theory. Our research suggests that the electrochemical surface potential due to point charge models provides anions with a significant driving force for adsoprtion to the air-water interface. This is contrary to the results of ab initio simulations that indicate that the average electrostatic surface potential should favor the desorption of anions at the air-water interface. The results have profound implications for the studies of ionic distributions in the vicinity of hydrophobic surfaces and proteins.

Abstract
Bubble coalescence behavior in aqueous electrolyte (MgSO(4), NaCl, KCl, HCl, H(2)SO(4)) solutions exposed to an ultrasound field (213 kHz) has been examined. The extent of coalescence was found to be dependent on electrolyte type and concentration, and could be directly linked to the amount of solubilized gas (He, Ar, air) in solution for the conditions used. No evidence of specific ion effects in acoustic bubble coalescence was found. The results have been compared with several previous coalescence studies on bubbles in aqueous electrolyte and aliphatic alcohol solutions in the absence of an ultrasound field. It is concluded that the impedance of bubble coalescence by electrolytes observed in a number of studies is the result of dynamic processes involving several key steps. First, ions (or more likely, ion-pairs) are required to adsorb at the gas/solution interface, a process that takes longer than 0.5 ms and probably fractions of a second. At a sufficient interfacial loading (estimated to be less than 1-2% monolayer coverage) of the adsorbed species, the hydrodynamic boundary condition at the bubble/solution interface switches from tangentially mobile (with zero shear stress) to tangentially immobile, commensurate with that of a solid-liquid interface. This condition is the result of spatially nonuniform coverage of the surface by solute molecules and the ensuing generation of surface tension gradients. This change reduces the film drainage rate between interacting bubbles, thereby reducing the relative rate of bubble coalescence. We have identified this point of immobilization of tangential interfacial fluid flow with the "critical transition concentration" that has been widely observed for electrolytes and nonelectrolytes. We also present arguments to support the speculation that in aqueous electrolyte solutions the adsorbed surface species responsible for the immobilization of the interface is an ion-pair complex.
