Abstract
CONTEXT We explore the influence of strongly hydrophilic confinement on various properties of water, such as density, enthalpy, potential energy, radial distribution function, entropy, specific heat capacity, structural dynamics, and transition temperatures (freezing and melting temperatures), using monatomic water (mW) model. The properties of water are found to be dependent on confinement and the wall-fluid surface interaction. Hysteresis loops are observed for density, enthalpy, potential energy, and entropy around the transition temperatures, while the size of hysteresis loops varies with confinement and surface interaction. In smaller pore sizes (H ≤ 20), the solid phase displays a higher density compared to the liquid phase, which is unconventional behavior compared to bulk water systems due to the pronounced hydrophilic properties of the confinement surface. Specific heat capacity exhibits more oscillations in the confined system compared to bulk water, stemming from uneven enthalpy differences across equal temperature intervals. During phase transformation in both heating and quenching processes, there is an abrupt change observed in specific heat capacity. Confinement exerts a notable impact on entropy in the solid phase, but its influence is negligible in the liquid phase. At lower pore sizes (H < 25 Å), there is more fluctuation in freezing temperature for all wall-fluid interactions, which diminishes beyond pore sizes of H > 25 Å. Similarly, more oscillatory behavior is observed in melting temperatures at lower pore sizes (H < 40 Å), which diminishes at higher pore sizes (H > 40 Å). During the quenching process, a sudden jump in the in-plane orientational and tetrahedral order parameters indicates the formation of an ordered phase, specifically a diamond crystalline structure. The percentages of different crystalline structures (cubic diamond, hexagonal diamond, and 2D hexagonal) vary with both the confinement size and the wall-fluid interaction strength. METHODS Cooling and heating simulations are conducted with the mW water model using LAMMPS for different nanoscale confinement separation sizes ranging from 8.5 to 70 Å within the temperature range of 100-350 K. The water is modeled using two-body and three-body interaction potential (Stillinger-Weber potential) and the confinement is introduced using LJ 9-3 water-wall interaction potential. Entropy is calculated using RDF data obtained from the simulation experiments for each temperature point with increments or decrements of 2.5 K. The transition temperatures are estimated using the specific heat capacity analysis.

Abstract
We performed classical molecular dynamics simulations to monitor the structural interactions and ultrafast dynamical and spectral response in the protic ionic liquid, ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) and water using the nitrile stretching mode of thiocyanate ion (SCN-) as the vibrational probe. The normalized stretch frequency distribution of nitrile stretch of SCN- attains an asymmetric shape in EAN, indicating the existence of more than one hydrogen-bonding environment in EAN. We computed the 2D IR spectrum from classical trajectories, applying the response function formalism. Spectral diffusion dynamics in EAN undergo an initial rattling of the SCN - inside the local ion-cage occurring at a timescale of 0.10 ps, followed by the breakup of the ion-cage activating molecular diffusion at 7.86 ps timescale. In contrast, the dynamics of structural reorganization occur at a timescale of 0.58 ps in H 2 O. Hence, the time dependence of the frequency-frequency correlation function decay hints at the local molecular structure and ultrafast ion dynamics of the SCN - probe. The loss of frequency correlation read from the peak shape changes in the 2D correlation spectrum as a function of waiting time is faster in H 2 O than in EAN due to the enhanced structural ordering and higher viscosity of the latter. We provide an atomic-level interpretation of the solvation environment around SCN - in EAN and water, which indicates the multiple ensembles of the hydrogen bond network in EAN.

Abstract
We employed density functional theory (DFT)-based molecular dynamics simulations to explore the structure, dynamics, and spectral properties of the protic ionic entity trimethylammonium chloride (TMACl). Structural investigations include calculating the site-site radial distribution functions (RDFs), the distribution of constituent cations and anions in three-dimensional space, and combined distribution functions of the hydrogen-bonded pair RDF versus angle, revealing the structural characteristics of the ionic solvation and the intermolecular interactions within ions. Further, we determined the instantaneous vibrational stretching frequencies of the intrinsic N-H stretch probe modes by applying the time-series wavelet method. The associated ionic dynamics within the protic ionic compound were investigated by calculating the time-evolution of the fluctuating frequencies and the frequency-time correlation functions (FFCFs). The time scale related to the local structural relaxation process and the average hydrogen bond lifetime, ion cage dynamics, and mean squared displacement were investigated. The faster decay component of the FFCFs, depicting the intermolecular motion of intact hydrogen bonds in TMACl, is 0.07 ps for the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE)-based simulation and 0.06 ps for the PBE-D2 representation. The slower time scale of the longer picosecond decay time component of PBE and PBE-D2 representations are 3.13 and 2.87 ps, respectively. These picosecond time scales represent more significant fluctuations of the hydrogen-bonding partners in the ionic entity and hydrogen-bond jump events accompanied by large angular jumps. The longest picosecond time scales represent structural relaxation, including large angular jumps and ion-pair dynamics. Also, ion cage lifetimes correlate with the slowest time scale of the associated dynamics of vibrational spectral diffusion despite the type of DFT functional. This study benchmarks DFT treatments of the exchange-correlation functional with and without the van der Waals (vdW) dispersion correction scheme. The inclusion of vdW interactions to the PBE functional represents a less structured state of the ionic entity and faster dynamics of the molecular motions relative to the one predicted by the PBE system. All the results illustrate the necessity of accurately describing the Coulomb interactions, vdW dispersive interactive forces, and localized hydrogen bonds required to sustain the energetic balance in this ionic salt.

Abstract
Chemical reactions in confined environments are important in areas as diverse as heterogenous catalysis, environmental chemistry and biochemistry, yet they are much less well understood than the equivalent reactions in either the gas phase or in free solution. The understanding of chemical reactions in solution was greatly enhanced by real time studies of model reactions, through ultrafast spectroscopy (especially when supported by molecular dynamics simulation). Here we review some of the efforts that have been made to adapt this approach to the investigation of reactions in confined media. Specifically, we review the application of ultrafast fluorescence spectroscopy to measure reaction dynamics in the nanoconfined water phase of reverse micelles, as a function of the droplet radius and the charge on the interface. Methods of measurement and modelling of the reactions are outlined. In all of the cases studied (which are focused on ultrafast intramolecular reactions) the effect of confinement was to suppress the reaction. Even in the largest micelles the result in the bulk aqueous phase was not usually recovered, suggesting an important role for specific interactions between reactant and environment, for example at the interface. There was no simple one-to-one correspondence with direct measures of the dynamics of the confined phase. Thus, understanding the effect of confinement on reaction rate appears to require not only knowledge of the dynamics of the reaction in solutions and the effect of confinement on the medium, but also of the interaction between reactant and confining medium.

Abstract
First principles molecular dynamics simulations have been utilized to study the spectral properties of the protic ionic liquid, methylammonium formate (MAF). All simulations were performed using density functional theory (DFT) and various van der Waals-corrected exchange-correlation functionals. We calculated the vibrational stretch frequency distributions, determined the time-frequency correlations of the intrinsic vibrational probes, the N-H and C-O modes in MAF, and the frequency-structure correlations. We also estimated the average hydrogen-bond lifetimes and orientation dynamics to capture the ultrafast spectral response. The spectroscopic signature of the N-H stretching vibrations using the Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr (BLYP) and Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) functionals displays a spectral shift in the lower frequency side, suggesting stronger hydrogen-bonding interactions represented by the gradient approximation functionals than the van der Waals (vdW)-corrected simulations. The carboxylate frequency profiles with the dispersion-corrected representations are almost similar without a significant difference in the normalized distributions. Besides, the COO stretching frequencies at the peak maxima positions of the PBE functionals exhibit a lesser deviation from the experimental data. Spectral diffusion dynamics of the intrinsic vibrational probes on the cationic and anionic sites of the ionic liquid proceed through a short time relaxation of the intact hydrogen bonds followed by an intermediate time constant and a longer time decay indicating the switchover of hydrogen bonds. Dispersion-corrected atom-centered one-electron potential (DCACP) correction added to the BLYP system slows down the picosecond time scales of frequency correlation and the time constants of rotational motion, lengthening the overall system dynamics. The observed trends in the time-dependent decays of frequency fluctuations and the orientation autocorrelation functions correlate with the structural interactions in liquid MAF and hydrogen-bond dynamics. In this study, we examine the predictions made by different density functional treatments comparing the results of the uncorrected BLYP and PBE representations with the semiempirical vdW methods of Grimme and matching our calculated data with the experimental observations.

Abstract
Fluorescence response of a photoacid inside a confined environment often differs markedly from the bulk response. Is there any correlation between the extent of fluorescence modulation and the strength of the photoacid? Here, we used three photoacids: 2-naphthol (2OH, pKa* = 3.3), 6-sulfonate-2-naphthol (6SO3-2OH, pKa* = 3.06), and 6-cyano-2-naphthol (6CN-2OH, pKa* = 0.6) with remarkably different excited-state acidities to investigate fluorescence modulation inside the nanocavity of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). Interestingly, we found strong fluorescence modulation for 2OH and 6SO3-2OH but almost none for 6CN-2OH. Isothermal calorimetry measurements showed that all three fluorophores form 1:1 inclusion complex with comparable binding constants (285, 420, and 580 M-1 for 2OH, 6SO3-2OH, and 6CN-2OH, respectively). Molecular dynamics simulation further revealed that binding modes are quite similar, and the distribution of water molecules around the proton-donating hydroxyl group of the photoacids are also comparable. Consequently, the difference in the fluorescence response should be accounted solely to the difference in the photoacidity strengths.

Abstract
Nature produces a plethora of nanochannels to carry out highly complex biological tasks in a sophisticated manner. There have been several studies to understand the characteristics of these channels; however, efforts to apply them for technological advancements are still scarce. Here, we have demonstrated that the fluidic channels of biomaterials can be harvested as nanofluidic devices to produce energy from enzymatic chemical reactions. The bionanochannel-based nanofluidic devices exhibit various nanofluidic phenomena like surface-charged-governed ionic conductivity and development of the transmembrane potential. The mobility of ions in the hydrated bionanochannels are found to be higher than that of bulk water. The cation-selective nature of the biochannels was also exploited to harvest a continuous supply of power up to 74 mW m-2 for 3 h from the enzymatic decomposition of urea. The transmembrane potential across the biochannels was also explored for label-free electrical monitoring of the enzymatic reaction inside the biological medium. Electrical monitoring on the kinetics of urease at different reaction temperatures suggested that inside biological medium the reaction goes through a pathway of lower activation energy (31.1 kJ) than that in the bulk environment (34.1 kJ). Enzyme urease was found to be more sustainable in bionanochannels than in glass vials.

Abstract
Binding/unbinding of small ligands, such as ions, to/from proteins influences biochemical processes such as protein folding, enzyme catalysis or protein/ligand recognition. We have investigated the mechanism of chloride/water exchange at a protein surface (that of the apoflavodoxin from Helicobacter pylori) using classical all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. They reveal a variety of chloride exit routes and residence times; the latter is related to specific coordination modes of the anion. The role of solvent molecules in the mechanism of chloride unbinding has been studied in detail. We see no temporary increase in chloride coordination along the release process. Instead, the coordination of new water molecules takes place in most cases after the chloride/protein atom release event has begun. Moreover, the distribution function of water entrance events into the first chloride solvation shell peaks after chloride protein atom dissociation events. All these observations together seem to indicate that water molecules simply fill the vacancies left by the previously coordinating protein residues. We thus propose a step-by-step dissociation pathway in which protein/chloride interactions gradually break down before new water molecules progressively fill the vacant positions left by protein atoms. As observed for other systems, water molecules associated with bound chloride or with protein atoms have longer residence times than those bound to the free anion. The implications of the exchange mechanism proposed for the binding of the FMN (Flavin Mononucleotide) protein cofactor are discussed.

Abstract
Nanoconfined liquids are of interest because of both their fundamental properties and their potential utility in an array of applications. The structure and dynamics of the liquid can be dramatically impacted by the geometrical constraints and the interactions with the interface. Understanding the molecular-level origins of these changes and how they are determined by the characteristics of the confining framework is the subject of ongoing experimental and theoretical studies. The progress and remaining challenges in these efforts are reviewed in the context of solvation dynamics and proton transfer reactions, processes that are strongly affected by nanoscale confinement.

Abstract
A theoretical study of vibrational spectral diffusion and hydrogen bond dynamics in aqueous ionic solutions is presented from first principles without employing any empirical potential models. The present calculations are based on ab initio molecular dynamics for trajectory generation and wavelet analysis of the simulated trajectories for time dependent frequency calculations. Results are obtained for two different deuterated aqueous solutions: the first one is a relatively dilute solution of a single Cl(-) ion and the second one is a concentrated solution of NaCl ( approximately 3M) dissolved in liquid D(2)O. It is found that the frequencies of OD bonds in the anion hydration shell, i.e., those which are hydrogen bonded to the chloride ion, have a higher stretch frequency than those in the bulk water. Also, on average, the frequencies of hydration shell OD modes are found to increase with increase in the anion-water hydrogen bond distance. On the dynamical side, when the vibrational spectral diffusion is calculated exclusively for the hydration shell water molecules in the first solution, the dynamics reveals three time scales: a short-time relaxation ( approximately 200 fs) corresponding to the dynamics of intact ion-water hydrogen bonds, a slower relaxation ( approximately 3 ps) corresponding to the lifetimes of chloride ion-water hydrogen bonds, and another longer-time constant ( approximately 20 ps) corresponding to the escape dynamics of water from the anion hydration shell. Existence of such three time scales for hydration shell water molecules was also reported earlier for water containing a single iodide ion using classical molecular dynamics [B. Nigro et al., J. Phys. Chem. A 110, 11237 (2006)]. Hence, the present study confirms the basic results of this earlier work using a different methodology. However, when the vibrational spectral diffusion is calculated over all the OD modes, only two time scales of approximately 150 fs and approximately 2.7 ps are found without the slowest component of approximately 20 ps. This is likely because of the very small weight that the hydration shell water molecules carry to the overall spectral diffusion in the solution containing a single ion. For the concentrated solution also, the slowest component of approximately 20 ps is not found in the spectral diffusion of all water molecules because a distinct separation between the hydration shell and bulk water in terms of their stretch frequencies does not hold at this high concentration regime. The present first principles results are compared with those of the available experiments and classical simulations.

Abstract
We present a first-principles theoretical study of vibrational spectral diffusion and hydrogen bond dynamics in heavy water without using any empirical model potentials. The calculations are based on ab initio molecular dynamics simulations for trajectory generation and a time series analysis using the wavelet method for frequency calculations. It is found that, in deuterated water, although a one-to-one relation does not exist between the instantaneous frequency of an OD bond and the distance of its associated hydrogen bond, such a relation does hold on average. The dynamics of spectral diffusion is investigated by means of frequency-time correlation and spectral hole dynamics calculations. Both of these functions are found to have a short-time decay with a time scale of approximately 100 fs corresponding to dynamics of intact hydrogen bonds and a slower long-time decay with a time constant of approximately 2 ps corresponding to lifetimes of hydrogen bonds. The connection of the slower time scale to the dynamics of local structural relaxation is also discussed. The dynamics of hydrogen bond making is shown to have a rather fast time scale of approximately 100 fs; hence, it can also contribute to the short-time dynamics of spectral diffusion. A damped oscillation is also found at around 150-200 fs, which is shown to have come from underdamped intermolecular vibrations of a hydrogen-bonded water pair. Such assignments are confirmed by independent calculations of power spectra of intermolecular motion and hydrogen bond kinetics using the population correlation function formalism. The details of the time constants of frequency correlations and spectral shifts are found to depend on the frequencies of chosen OD bonds and are analyzed in terms of the dynamics of hydrogen bonds of varying strengths and also of free non-hydrogen-bonded OD groups.
