Conspectus The interactions of hydrated ions with molecular and macromolecular solution
and interface partners are strong on a chemical energy scale. Here, we recount the foremost …

Ions transiting biomembranes might pass readily from water through ion-specific membrane
proteins if these protein channels provide environments similar to the aqueous solution …

Molecular-level understanding and characterization of solvation environments are often
needed across chemistry, biology, and engineering. Toward practical modeling of local …

The CuF species in acetonitrile solution is a potential intermediate in copper catalyzed
fluorination. In the process, different species such as Cu+, Ag+, CuF and AgF could be …

Anion hydration is complicated by H-bond between neighboring water molecules in addition
to H-bond donation to the anion. This situation leads to competing structures and …

Ion hydration structure and free energy establish criteria for understanding selective ion
binding in potassium (K+) ion channels and may be significant to understanding blocking …

Mixed solvents (ie, binary or higher order mixtures of ionic or nonionic liquids) play crucial
roles in chemical syntheses, separations, and electrochemical devices because they can be …

Conventional methods for extracting rare earth metals (REMs) from mined mineral ores are
inefficient, expensive, and environmentally damaging. Recent discovery of lanmodulin …

Consistent thermochemical data are of major importance for predicting and rationalizing
stability and reactivity throughout chemistry. The free energy of hydration (Δ G hyd) …

The binding of the sulfate ligand group to monovalent cations in the presence of water is
important for many systems. To understand the structure and energetics of sulfate …
