This review deals with dynamics of water molecules in the hydration layer that surrounds
selfassemblies and proteins in aqueous solutions. This topic has not only seen a vigorous …

Because of its unique properties, water drives many natural and biological processes. While
a detailed understanding of its precise role is still being unravelled, it is clear that the …

Time-resolved emission measurements of the solute coumarin 153 (C153) are used to
probe the time dependence of solvation in 24 common solvents at room temperature …

Hydrogen bonding has an unusually strong influence on the physical and chemical
properties of water, distinguishing it from other liquids. Due to water's low molecular weight …

Although water is often hailed as the lubricant of life, a detailed understanding of its role in
many chemical and biological processes still eludes us. In many natural systems, water is …

The time dependent response of a polar solvent to a changing charge distribution is studied
in solvation dynamics. The change in the energy of the solute is measured by a time domain …

The mobility of water in water/Aerosol OT (AOT)/isooctane reverse micelles has been
investigated via polar solvation dynamics measurements using ultrafast, time-resolved …

Data from the optical Kerr effect, time-resolved Stokes shift, and dielectric dispersion
experiments on 21 common room temperature solvents are collected and compared. The …

The quasi-bound biological or structuredwater molecules in a protein play a key role in
many biological processes. The dynamics of the biological water has been studied by …

Rate constants of chemical reactions in solutions are found to vary over a wide range.
Although many chemical processes occur with extreme rapidity, with time constants in the …
