A biscyclen molecular cabin, synthesized by connecting two cyclen macrocycles with four
linkages, entraps a Li+··· H2O··· Li+ trimer with a water molecule clamped by two Li+ ions …

The biological and technological importance of anion-mediated processes has made the
development of improved methods for the selective recognition of anions one of the most …

Why does group loyalty sometimes take the form of cooperation or peaceful competition with
rival groups and, at other times, violent outgroup hostility? We approached this question …

Conceptually, single-ion polymer electrolytes (SIPE) with the anion bound to the polymer
could solve major issues in Li-ion batteries, but their conductivity is too low. Experimentally …

Rare-earth metals (REMs) are crucial for many important industries, such as power
generation and storage, in addition to cancer treatment and medical imaging. One promising …

Nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) play a crucial role in hydrogen-bonded systems due to
quantum tunneling and proton fluctuation. Our understanding of how NQEs affect …

This study focuses on the encapsulation of the entire series of halides by the 512 cage of
twenty water molecules and on the characterization of water to water and water to anion …

Transmembrane anion transport by synthetic ionophores has received increasing interest
not only because of its relevance for understanding endogenous anion transport, but also …

In potassium channels that conduct K+ selectively over Na+, which sites are occupied by K+
or water and the mechanism of selectivity are unresolved questions. The combination of the …

The interactions of carboxylate anions with water and cations are important for a wide variety
of systems, both biological and synthetic. To gain insight on properties of the local …
