Confined Water Molecules in Binary Mixtures of Water and 2,6-Lutidine Near Lower Solution Critical Temperature.

ABSTRACT: We study the concentration and temperature dependence of the reorientation dynamics of water molecules in binary mixtures of water and 2,6-lutidine below the lower solution critical temperature (LSCT) with femtosecond mid-infrared pump-probe spectroscopy. The measurements reveal the presence of water molecules interacting with both the hydrophobic groups of lutidine and forming a hydrogen bond with the nitrogen atom of lutidine. Both types of molecules show a strongly decreased rotational mobility in comparison to bulk water. From the temperature dependence of the slow water fraction, we conclude that the lutidine molecules form clusters that decrease in size when the temperature is decreased further below the LSCT.

Temperature relaxation in strongly-coupled binary ionic mixtures.

Project description:New facilities such as the National Ignition Facility and the Linac Coherent Light Source have pushed the frontiers of high energy-density matter. These facilities offer unprecedented opportunities for exploring extreme states of matter, ranging from cryogenic solid-state systems to hot, dense plasmas, with applications to inertial-confinement fusion and astrophysics. However, significant gaps in our understanding of material properties in these rapidly evolving systems still persist. In particular, non-equilibrium transport properties of strongly-coupled Coulomb systems remain an open question. Here, we study ion-ion temperature relaxation in a binary mixture, exploiting a recently-developed dual-species ultracold neutral plasma. We compare measured relaxation rates with atomistic simulations and a range of popular theories. Our work validates the assumptions and capabilities of the simulations and invalidates theoretical models in this regime. This work illustrates an approach for precision determinations of detailed material properties in Coulomb mixtures across a wide range of conditions.

Density and Viscosity of Binary Mixtures of Thiocyanate Ionic Liquids + Water as a Function of Temperature.

Project description:Densities and viscosities have been determined for binary mixtures of the ionic liquids (ILs) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate [BMIM][SCN], or 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium thiocyanate [BMPy][SCN], or 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium thiocyanate [BMPYR][SCN], or 1-butyl-1-methylpiperidinium thiocyanate [BMPIP][SCN] with water over wide range of temperatures (298.15-348.15) K and ambient pressure. The thermal properties of [BMPy][SCN], i.e. glass transition temperature and the heat capacity at glass transition, have been measured using a differential scanning microcalorimetry, DSC. The decomposition of [BMPy][SCN] was detected. The density and viscosity correlations for these systems have been made using an empirical second-order polynomial and by the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann equation, respectively. The concentration dependences have been described by polynomials. The excess molar volumes and deviations in viscosity have been calculated from the experimental values and were correlated by Redlich-Kister polynomial expansions. The variations of these parameters, with compositions of the mixtures and temperature, have been discussed in terms of molecular interactions. A qualitative analysis of the trend of properties with composition and temperature was performed. Further, the excess partial molar volumes, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], were calculated and discussed. The isobaric expansivities (coefficient of thermal expansion), α, and the excess isobaric expansivities, α(E), were determined for four ILs and their mixtures with water. The results indicate that the interactions of thiocyanate ILs with water is not as strong as with alcohols, which is shown by the positive/slightly negative excess molar volumes in these binary systems.

Solubility of Organosolv Lignin in γ-Valerolactone/Water Binary Mixtures.

Project description:The solubility of lignin in a mixture of γ-valerolactone (GVL) and water at different weight ratios was measured using the Hildebrand solubility parameters. Based on the molecular structure of lignin, its solubility parameter (δ-value) was calculated as 25.5 MPa1/2 . The δ-value for aqueous GVL solvent increased from 23.1 MPa1/2 for pure GVL to 45.6 MPa1/2 for pure water. Therefore, the lignin solubility was predicted to increase with increasing GVL concentration in the aqueous mixture up to approximately 92-96 wt % of GVL. A ternary diagram describing the phase behavior of water-GVL-lignin mixtures at room temperature was constructed based on the experimental results. The three-component system exhibited a complex behavior with a liquid-liquid and solid-liquid-liquid phase split. The efficiency of the selected fractionation trials in a previous work was validated using the ternary solubility diagram. A promising recovery pathway and lignin isolation method were deduced from the results of this work.

Interfacial Water Structure of Binary Liquid Mixtures Reflects Nonideal Behavior.

Project description:The evaporation of molecules from water-organic solute binary mixtures is key for both atmospheric and industrial processes such as aerosol formation and distillation. Deviations from ideal evaporation energetics can be assigned to intermolecular interactions in solution, yet evaporation occurs from the interface, and the poorly understood interfacial, rather than the bulk, structure of binary mixtures affects evaporation kinetics. Here we determine the interfacial structure of nonideal binary mixtures of water with methanol, ethanol, and formic acid, by combining surface-specific vibrational spectroscopy with molecular dynamics simulations. We find that the free, dangling OH groups at the interfaces of these differently behaving nonideal mixtures are essentially indistinguishable. In contrast, the ordering of hydrogen-bonded interfacial water molecules differs substantially at these three interfaces. Specifically, the interfacial water molecules become more disordered (ordered) in mixtures with methanol and ethanol (formic acid), showing higher (lower) vapor pressure than that predicted by Raoult's law.

Hydrogen Bond Networks in Binary Mixtures of Water and Organic Solvents.

Project description:We here present an approach for the optical in situ characterization of hydrogen bond networks (HBNs) in binary mixtures of water and organic solvents (OSs), such as methanol, ethanol, and acetonitrile. HBNs are characterized based on (i) the analysis of experimental molar Raman spectra of the mixture, (ii) partial molar Raman spectra of the mixture constituents, and (iii) computed ideal molar Raman spectra of the mixture. Especially, the consideration of the partial molar Raman spectra provides insights into the development of hydrogen bonds of molecules of one species with their neighbors. The obtained Raman spectra are evaluated with respect to the centroid of the symmetric stretching vibration Raman signal of water and to the hydroxyl stretching vibration of alcohols. We show the influence of composition and temperature on the development of the HBN of the mixtures, the HBN of water, and the HBN of the OS molecules.

Control of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgel network structure by precipitation polymerization near the lower critical solution temperature.

Project description:Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) microgels were synthesized by precipitation polymerization at temperatures ranging from 37 to 45 °C using redox initiator system ammonium persulfate (APS)/N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) or photoinitiator 2,2'-azobis(amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (V50). Photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies revealed that spherical microgels with narrow size dispersities can be obtained with these methods and that the resultant microgels have volume phase transition behaviors expected from their compositions. Additionally, the low-temperature redox initiator strategy produces microgels devoid of self-cross-linking, thereby permitting the synthesis of completely degradable microgels when using N,N'-(1,2-dihydroxyethylene)bisacrylamide (DHEA) as a cleavable cross-linker. We also demonstrate the potential utility of the approach in bioconjugate syntheses; in this case, avidin immobilization is demonstrated by one-pot copolymerization at low temperature.

Predicting Thermal Decomposition Temperature of Binary Imidazolium Ionic Liquid Mixtures from Molecular Structures.

Project description:Ionic liquids (ILs) have been regarded as "designer solvents" because of their satisfactory physicochemical properties. The 5% onset decomposition temperature (T d,5%onset) is one of the most conservative but reliable indicators for characterizing the possible fire hazard of engineered ILs. This study is devoted to develop a quantitative structure-property relationship model for predicting the T d,5%onset of binary imidazolium IL mixtures. Both in silico design and data analysis descriptors and norm index were employed to encode the structural characteristics of binary IL mixtures. The subset of optimal descriptors was screened by combining the genetic algorithm with the multiple linear regression method. The resulting optimal prediction model was a four-variable multiple linear equation, with the average absolute error (AAE) for the external test set being 12.673 K. The results of rigorous model validations also demonstrated satisfactory model robustness and predictivity. The present study would provide a new reliable approach for predicting the thermal stability of binary IL mixtures.

Lower Critical Solution Temperature in Polyelectrolyte Complex Coacervates.

Project description:A model linear oppositely charged polyelectrolyte complex exhibits phase separation upon heating consistent with lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior. The LCST coexistence curves narrow with increasing monovalent salt concentration (Cs) that reduces the polymer concentration (Cp) in the polymer-rich phase. The polymer-rich phase exhibits less hydration with increasing temperature, while an increase in Cs increases the hydration extent. The apparent critical temperature, taken as the minimum in the phase diagram, occurs only for a narrow range of Cs. Mean field theory suggests an increasing Bjerrum length with temperature can lead to an electrostatic-driven LCST; however, the temperature dependence of the Flory-Huggins interaction parameter and solvation effects must also be considered.

Incipient ferroelectricity of water molecules confined to nano-channels of beryl.

Project description:Water is characterized by large molecular electric dipole moments and strong interactions between molecules; however, hydrogen bonds screen the dipole-dipole coupling and suppress the ferroelectric order. The situation changes drastically when water is confined: in this case ordering of the molecular dipoles has been predicted, but never unambiguously detected experimentally. In the present study we place separate H2O molecules in the structural channels of a beryl single crystal so that they are located far enough to prevent hydrogen bonding, but close enough to keep the dipole-dipole interaction, resulting in incipient ferroelectricity in the water molecular subsystem. We observe a ferroelectric soft mode that causes Curie-Weiss behaviour of the static permittivity, which saturates below 10?K due to quantum fluctuations. The ferroelectricity of water molecules may play a key role in the functioning of biological systems and find applications in fuel and memory cells, light emitters and other nanoscale electronic devices.

A statistical geometry analysis of simulated water-DMSO and water-MeCN binary mixtures for biomolecular studies.

Project description:Water-Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and water-Acetonitrile (MeCN) binary mixtures at various molar ratios ranging from 0 to 1 are studied using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Hydration properties of water in different regions of MeCN/DMSO are investigated by using the statistical geometry approach. The obtained results reveal that in water-DMSO simulations both water and solvent molecules prefer to be in mixed cluster forms, depending upon the concentration of DMSO. While in case of water-MeCN mixtures, self-association of water and acetonitrile molecules, take place, showing microheterogeneity associated with the water- MeCN binary mixtures. The results highlight the utility of statistical geometric analysis of MD simulation data of binary liquid mixtures for rapid screening of polar organic solvents in non-aqueous enzymology.
