Synthesis and characterization of reversible and self-healable networks based on acylhydrazone groups
(2014)
A series of seven dynamic covalent networks based on pentaerythritol tetra(benzohydrazide) and 1,10-decanediol dibenzaldehyde were prepared in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The equilibrium degree of swelling in DMF and the ...
Effects of sodium salts of lyotropic anions on low-temperature, ordered lipid monolayers
(2012)
Electrolytes are known to impart considerable disorder to lipid assemblies, including monolayers at the air-water interface, bilayers, and vesicles. In the present work, we have investigated the disordering effect of sodium ...
Monolayers, bilayers and micelles of zwitterionic lipids as model systems for the study of specific anion effects
(2007)
This work is a review of the effect of different monovalent anions (belonging to the Hofmeister series) on a single model amphiphile, phosphatidylcholine molecules in contact with water, in three different geometries, ...
Effects of monovalent anions of the Hofmeister series on DPPC lipid bilayers part I: Swelling and in-plane equations of state
(2007)
Aiming to improve understanding of the mechanisms behind specific anion effects in biological systems we have studied the effects of sodium salts of simple monovalent anions belonging to the Hofmeister series on the bilayers ...
NMR investigation of the interaction of vanadate with carbasilatranes in aqueous solutions
(2005)
Reaction of vanadate with carbasilatranes [methoxy{N,N′,N″-2, 2′,3-[bis(1-methylethanolato)(propyl)]amino}silane (1), methoxy{N,N′,N″-2,2′,3-[bis(1-ethanolethanolato)(propyl)] amino}silane (2), and {N,N′,N″-2,2′,2-[bis(e ...
Dissecting the stabilization of iodide at the air-water interface into components: A free energy analysis
(2006)
Recent experiments and simulations show that large chaotropic anions favor solvation at the water surface, mainly due to induction interactions dominated by ionic polarizabilities. We compare the solvation free-energy ...
Attraction of iodide ions by the free water surface, revealed by simulations with a polarizable force field based on drude oscillators
(2005)
Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shown that polarizable anions, such as iodide and bromide, preferentially accumulate close to the surface of electrolyte solutions. This finding is in sharp contrast to the ...
Effects of hofmeister anions on DPPC langmuir monolayers at the air-water interface
(2004)
In this work we investigated the effect of sodium salts of different monovalent anions belonging to the Hofmeister series on Langmuir monolayers of DPPC (1,2-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine). The salts used were NaCl, NaBr, ...
