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 …

In 1970, three laboratories independently made a discovery that, for aromatic fluorophores
embedded into different rigid and highly viscous media, the spectroscopic properties do not …

Water molecules confined in a supramolecular assembly control reactivity and dynamics of
biological systems in a unique way. In a confined system, water molecules display an …

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 invention and development of laser technology and other related ultrafast techniques
has opened and established new areas in molecular science called femtochemistry and …

Polymeric hydrogels have wide applications including electrophoresis, biocompatible
materials, water superadsorbents, and contact lenses. The properties of hydrogels involve …

In this work, we combine atomistic molecular dynamics simulations with theoretical
vibrational spectroscopy to study the properties of water confined inside bis (2-ethylhexyl) …

We have investigated the solvation dynamics of methanol and acetonitrile in reverse
micelles for the first time. The solvation dynamics of both methanol and acetonitrile in …

The paper presents results of the spectral (absorption and emission) and photophysical
study of 4-aminophthalimide (4-AP) in 1-chloro-n-alkanes (RCl) with which 4-AP interacts …

The development of theories of water structure has been hindered in the past by the difficulty
of experimental measurement. Both measurement and computer modelling studies have …
