The Role of Quantum Effects on Structural and Electronic Fluctuations in Neat and Charged Water

Michele Ceriotti, Federico Giberti

In this work, we revisit the role of nuclear quantum effects on the structural and electronic properties of the excess proton in bulk liquid water using advanced molecular dynamics techniques. The hydronium ion is known to be a weak acceptor of a hydrogen ...

Electrochemical oxygen reduction at soft interfaces catalyzed by the transfer of hydrated lithium cations

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Haiqiang Deng, Thomas James Stockmann

The oxygen reduction reaction by decamethylferrocene (DMFc), triggered by hydrophilic metallic cations behaving as Lewis acids towards water molecules in a homogeneous organic phase reaction, was investigated using cyclic voltammetry at the water|1,2-dichl ...

Nitranilic acid hexahydrate, a novel benchmark system of the Zundel cation in an intrinsically asymmetric environment: spectroscopic features and hydrogen bond dynamics characterised by experimental and theoretical methods

Nitranilic acid (2,5-dihydroxy-3,6-dinitro-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione) as a strong dibasic acid in acidic aqueous media creates the Zundel cation, H5O2+. The structural unit in a crystal comprises (H5O2)(2)(+)(2,5-dihydroxy-3,6-dinitro-1,4-benzoquinonate ...

Surprising acidity of hydrated lithium cations in organic solvents

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Liang Qiao, Haiqiang Deng, Thomas James Stockmann

Lithium cations are shown to have a significant role on catalyzing oxygen and proton reduction along with SN1 reactions in biphasic systems. We propose that this catalytic effect is due to the surprising acidity of the hydrated cations; interactions betwee ...

Microhydration Effects on the Encapsulation of Potassium Ion by Dibenzo-18-Crown-6

Thomas Rizzo, Oleg Boyarkine, Yoshiya Inokuchi

We have measured electronic and conformer-specific vibrational spectra of hydrated dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) complexes with potassium ion, K+center dot DB18C6 center dot(H2O)(n) (n = 1-5), in a cold, 22-pole ion trap. We also present for comparison spect ...

Mechanism of oxygen reduction by metallocenes near liquid|liquid interfaces

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Haiqiang Deng, Thomas James Stockmann

The mechanism of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at a liquid|liquid interface, employing ferrocene (Fc) derivatives – such as decamethylferrocene (DMFc) – as a lipophilic electron donor along with sulfuric acid as an aqueous proton source, was elucidat ...

Photodynamics of Lys+-Trp Protein Motifs: Hydrogen Bonds Ensure Photostability

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Manuel Dömer, Matteo Guglielmi

Cation-pi interactions such as Lys(+)-Trp, are highly abundant structural motifs in proteins. Both, experimental and theoretical studies of small prototypical gas phase systems, H(+)Trp, H(+)Trp center dot(H2O)(n) and H+ Gly-Trp, indicate such an arrangeme ...
