Charged particles in aqueous solutions are always surrounded by a shell of water molecules. However, much is still unknown about the nature of this so-called hydration shell. Using terahertz ...

Two thread-shaped cations, pyridinium nicotinamide and imidazolium, as their chloride and hexafluorophosphate salts, were studied with regards to complexation with hydrogen-bond-donating acyclic and ...

Chemists have found that the all-cis isomer of hexafluorocyclohexane, a molecule that made headlines last year for being the most polar aliphatic compound known, is capable of binding both cations and ...

Huang Feihe at Zhejiang University, Jonathan Sessler of the University of Texas at Austin, and colleagues reported a novel cation recognition mode which mimics the biological allosteric effect and ...

Dual-ion batteries (DIBs), in which both cations and anions are involved in the electrochemical redox reaction, are one of the most promising candidates to meet the low-cost requirements of commercial ...

Ion exchange separates components in a sample depending on their relative ionic strengths and interaction with the stationary phase. The stationary phase is a charged substance that selectively ...

Chemists have coaxed vinyl cations to insert into C–H bonds of alkanes and arenes. In doing so, they’ve shown that this classic carbocation is capable of much more than previously thought. Although ...

Resodec, § the exchange resin used in the patients described in this report, is an acrylic polymer of heavy molecular weight, whose carboxylic radicals can readily adsorb and release cations to which ...

Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) remain the most widely used rechargeable batteries worldwide, due to their light weight, high ...
