Perylene bisimides are among the most valuable functional dyes and have numerous
potential applications. As a result of their chemical robustness, photostability, and …

The aversion of hydrophobic solutes for water drives diverse interactions and assemblies
across materials science, biology, and beyond. Here, we review the theoretical …

Hydrophobic hydration is considered to have a key role in biological processes ranging from
membrane formation to protein folding and ligand binding. Historically, hydrophobic …

Hydrophobic interactions are driven by the combined influence of the direct attraction
between oily solutes and an additional water-mediated interaction whose magnitude (and …

This review focuses on papers published since 2000 on the topic of the properties of solutes
in water. More specifically, it evaluates the state of the art of our understanding of the …

Hydration-shell vibrational spectroscopy provides an experimental window into solute-
induced water structure changes that mediate aqueous folding, binding, and self-assembly …

A thorough exploration of the molecular basis for hydrophobicity with a comprehensive set of
theoretical tools and an extensive set of organic solvent S/water binary systems is discussed …

Experimental Raman multivariate curve resolution and molecular dynamics simulations are
performed to demonstrate that the vibrational frequency and tetrahedrality of water …

THz spectroscopy was used to probe changes that occur in the dynamics of the hydrogen
bond network upon solvation of alcohol chains. The THz spectra can be decomposed into …

Externally applied electric fields in liquid water can induce a plethora of effects with wide
implications in electrochemistry and hydrogenbased technologies. Although some effort has …
