NMR Spectroscopy and Multiscale Modeling Shed Light on Ion-Solvent Interactions and Ion Pairing in Aqueous NaF Solutions

September 10, 2024
Author(s)
Gosia Musial, Demian Riccardi, Chris Suiter, Ethan Sontarp, Samantha Miller, Robert Lirette, Kyle Covington-Rehmeier, Avik Mahata, Chris Muzny, Angela Stelson, Kathleen Schwarz, Jason A. Widegren
The balance between ion solvation and ion pairing in aqueous solutions modulates chemical and physical processes from catalysis to protein folding. Yet, despite more than a century of investigation, quantitative determination of the distribution of ion

SHINERS Study of Chloride Order-Disorder Phase Transition and Solvation of Cu(100)

January 3, 2024
Author(s)
Thomas P. Moffat, David Raciti, Angela R. Hight Walker, Eric J. Cockayne, John Vinson, Kathleen Schwarz
Shell-isolated Nanoparticle Enhance Raman Spectroscopy (SHINERS) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) are used to probe Cl- adsorption and the order-disorder phase transition associated with the c(2×2) Cl- adlayer on Cu(100) in acid media. A two-component 

Quantifying the Effect of Guest Binding on Host Environment

August 29, 2023
Author(s)
Angela Stelson, Zack Fishman, Jacob Pawlik, Gosia Musial, Jim Booth, Chris Long, Kathleen Schwarz, Nate Orloff, Hugh Ryan, Angela Grommet, Jonathan Nitschke, Felix Rizzuto
The environment around a host-guest complex is defined by of intermolecular interactions between solvent molecules and counter ions. These interactions govern both the solubility of these complexes and the rates of reactions confined within them11. Such

Modeling the linear and nonlinear dielectric response of solvents

March 13, 2023
Author(s)
Michael Woodcox, Avik Mahata, Aaron Hagerstrom, Angela Stelson, Chris Muzny, Ravishankar Sundararaman, Kathleen Schwarz
We demonstrate a method to compute the dielectric spectra of fluids in molecular dynamics by directly applying electric fields to the simulation. We obtain spectra from molecular dynamics simulations with low magnitude electric fields (0.01 V/A) in

In-situ Stress Measurements During CO Adsorption onto Pt

February 24, 2022
Author(s)
David Raciti, Gery R. Stafford, Kathleen Schwarz, John Vinson
The change in surface stress associated with the adsorption and oxidative stripping of carbon monoxide (CO) on (111)-textured Pt is examined using the wafer curvature method in 0.1 M KHCO3 electrolyte. The curvature of the Pt cantilever electrode was

Interfacial water asymmetry at ideal electrochemical interfaces

January 6, 2022
Author(s)
Abhishek Shandilya, Kathleen Schwarz, Ravishankar Sundararaman
Controlling electrochemical reactivity requires a detailed understanding of the charging behavior and thermodynamics of the electrochemical interface. Experiments can independently probe the overall charge response of the electrochemical double layer by

Quantifying Uncertainties in Solvation Procedures for Modeling Aqueous Phase Reaction Mechanisms

January 4, 2021
Author(s)
Kathleen Schwarz, Alex Maldonado, Tae Hoon Choi, Frank Eckert, Satoshi Hagiwara, Minoru Otani, Ravishankar Sundararaman, John Keith
Computational quantum chemistry provides fundamental chemical and physical insights into solvated reaction mechanisms across many areas of chemistry, especially in homogeneous and heterogeneous renewable energy catalysis. Such reactions may depend on

Measuring Ion-Pairing and Hydration in Variable Charge Supramolecular Cages with Microwave Microfluidics

May 17, 2019
Author(s)
Angela C. Stelson, Cynthia M. Hong, Mitchell C. Groenenboom, Charles A. Little, James C. Booth, Nathan D. Orloff, Robert G. Bergman, Kenneth N. Raymond, Kathleen A. Schwarz, F. D. Toste, Christian J. Long
MetaMetal–organic supramolecular cages can act as charged molecular containers that mediate reactions, mimic enzymatic catalysis, and selectively sequester chemicals.1,2 The hydration of these cages in solution plays a crucial role in their interactions
