Scientists have long known that protons hop along hydrogen-bond pathways in these systems. What they couldn't pin down was ...

The interface between water and one-layer graphene (left) is composed of water molecules with four hydrogen bonds (red) and water molecules with two hydrogen bonds (green). As the number of graphene ...

Researchers have used nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy to probe the hydrogen bonds that modulate the chemical reactivity of enzymes, catalysts and biomimetic complexes. The technique could ...

The physicochemical and biological properties of hydrogen-bonded systems are significantly affected by nuclear quantum effects including zero-point energies of vibrational modes, proton delocalization ...

We present infrared spectra and density functional theory calculations of hydrated pyrene anion clusters with up to four water molecules. The experimental spectra were acquired using infrared Ar ...

Bond polarity, driven by differences in electronegativity, explains why some molecules dissolve in water, why others don’t, and why substances have different boiling points. Polar bonds have unequal ...

Chemistry students the world over are familiar with covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds. Now a study has revealed a strange variety of bond that acts like a hybrid of the two. Its properties raise ...

This groundbreaking study demonstrates how some metal complexes that were previously insensitive to external stimuli can now demonstrate sharp and complete magnetic transitions by adding chiral ...
