Hydration of NMA
We propose to study the hydration of N-methylacetamide (NMA) at ambient conditions and at two concentrations, namely 1 NMA : 50 H2O and 1 NMA : 15 H2O, by applying the isotopic... -
Local structure and clustering in acetic acid/pyridine mixtures
The aim of this proposed work is to complete our study of the behaviour of acetic acid/pyridine mixtures as a functionof composition, in order to fully characterise the changes... -
Deep Eutectic Solvents: Metal Ion Dissolution
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are molecular mixtures similar to ionic liquids, having melting points below room temperature. However instead of being composed of a salt, the... -
Understanding Sulphur and Nitrogen-Aromatic interactions from liquid structure
Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltenes have a high... -
Nanostructure of a New Class of Deep Eutectic Solvents Derived from Protic Io...
In earlier SANDALS investigations we have shown that protic ionic liquids (PILs) are nanostructured in the bulk, and how dissolved inorganic salts and small molecule solvents... -
Solvation structure of propane/propene in [C4mim][NTf2] ionic liquid
Supported ionic liquid membranes offer potentially lower-energy alternatives to cryogenic distillation for the separation and isolation of light gas olefins (ethene and propene)... -
When like-charged ions attract: Size and distribution of cationic clusters in...
Contrary to the strong electrostatic repulsion between like charged ions, last year the Ludwig group, used IR and NMR spectroscopy combined with computational methods, to reveal... -
Study of quadrupolar interactions in aromatic liquids: Benzene, hexafluoroben...
The non-covalent interactions between aromatic rings are of fundamental importance in large number biological and chemical processes. Examples include protein tertiary... -
The structure of prilocaine in solution - crossing the BBB
This dataset has no description

Location of the lipophilic drug testosterone propionate at the oil-water inte...
Solubilisation of poorly-water soluble drug in surfactant micelles is an attractive means of increasing the apparent aqueous solubility of such drugs in order to administer the... -
Competetive adsorption in hydrophobin / protein mixtures at the air-solution ...
Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins in the form of small lipopetide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self assemble at interfaces and in solution. This... -
Pre-aggregation of 3-hydroxybenzoic acid in solution
The pharmaceutical intermediate 3-hydroxybenzoic acid (MHBA) is reported to crystallise in two polymorphs. The stable one is obtained by evaporation from methanol solution,... -
Structural comparison of peptidomimetic building blocks
Peptidomimetics are synthetic mimics of peptides, the natural building blocks of proteins, and their development is a growing field of science. An underlying theme in recent... -
Specific ion effects in molecular non-aqueous electrolytes
Specific-ion (Hofmeister effects) are ubiquitous whenever ions are dissolved in solution and are important in many research fields from chemistry, to biology and in materials... -
Antiplasticizing effect of water in amorphous prilocaine
In glassforming organic materials, the addition of water usually has a direct plasticizing effect, visible in a lowering of the glass-transition temperature Tg upon hydration of... -
Understanding the Structure and Hydrogen Bonding Interactions of Ethanoic Aci...
The hydrogen bonding interactions between species in binary liquid systems can have a significant effect on the properties, especially in relation to the pure materials. Binary... -
When like-charged ions attract: How OH-defects influence the size and distrib...
This study will probe the liquid nanostructures of mixtures of two ionic liquids, 4-(hydroxybutyl)pyridinium-bis(trifluorosulfonyl)-imide ([HOC4Py]NTf2) and... -
Linking the solid state and solution thorium aqua structures: solution struct...
A understanding of the aqueous chemistry of the actinide ions is not as well developed as for transition metals or the lanthanides. Fundamentally important information such as... -
Bio-inspired Ionic Liquids for Lignin Dissolution
Biomass is a renewable source of fuel and fine chemicals. Although naturally abundant, it is heterogeneous and recalcitrant to biodegradation. Current industrial strategy is to... -
Interaction of sugars and a model peptide
We propose to perform a NDIS experiments at the SANDALS diffractometer at T = 300 K on 7 aqueous solutions of NMA and trehalose and NMA and glucose, aimed at investigating the...
