We present an overview of the studies of ion pairing in aqueous media of the past decade. In
these studies, interactions between ions, and between ions and water, are investigated with …

The present paper reviews the investigation of ambient water structure and focusses in
particular on the determination of the radial distribution functions of water from total …

Ion hydration is of pivotal importance for many fundamental processes. Various
spectroscopic methods are used to study the retardation of the hydration bond dynamics in …

Eutectic mixtures of choline chloride, urea, and water in deep eutectic solvent (DES)/water
molar hydration ratios (w) of 2, 5, and 10, with dissolved cerium salt, were measured using …

The latest experimental and theoretical studies on structural and dynamical properties of
lanthanoid (III) and actinoid (III) ions in water have been reviewed. In the last years, most of …

Multivalent counterion-induced bridging interactions have been identified as the key
mechanism of drastic collapse of the height of polyelectrolyte (PE) brushes. In this article, we …

The improving sensitivity of mass-spectrometers has opened the potential of using stable
isotope signatures of the rare Earth elements (REE) as geochemical tracers. However, thus …

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) and their hydrated mixtures are used for solvothermal routes
towards greener functional nanomaterials. Here we present the first static structural and in …

Charge reversal as an extreme case of charge compensation is directly observed by
capillary electrophoresis for a negatively charged peptide in aqueous solutions of trivalent …

We present a new methodology involving the simultaneous refinement of both x-ray
absorption and x-ray diffraction spectra (x-ray absorption/diffraction structural refinement …
