Aqueous ion-containing interfaces are ubiquitous and play a key role in a plethora of
physical, chemical, atmospheric, and biological processes, from which we mention just a few …

Following up on scattered reports on interactions of conventional chaotropic ions (for
example, I−, SCN−, ClO4−) with macrocyclic host molecules, biomolecules, and …

Aqueous processes ranging from protein folding and enzyme turnover to colloidal ordering
and macromolecular precipitation are sensitive to the nature and concentration of the ions …

Research efforts related to the Hofmeister series of salt ions have waxed and waned during
its long and storied history. The past few decades have, however, witnessed a renaissance …

In this paper, we propose a Hofmeister-like ordering of charged headgroups. To this
purpose we review various literature data and complete them with some new experimental …

Dodecaborate anions of the type B12X122− and B12X11Y2−(X= H, Cl, Br, I and Y= OH, SH,
NH3+, NR3+) form strong (Ka up to 106 L mol− 1, for B12Br122−) inclusion complexes with …

The effect of a series of sodium salts on the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of poly
(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAM, was investigated as a function of molecular weight and …

The specific binding sites of Hofmeister ions with an uncharged 600-residue elastin-like
polypeptide,(VPGVG) 120, were elucidated using a combination of NMR and …

The modulation of the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of two elastin-like
polypeptides (ELPs) was investigated in the presence of 11 sodium salts that span the …

Classical molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the effects of salt
on the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) …
