Journal ArticleDOI
What is the fundamental ion-specific series for anions and cations? Ion specificity in standard partial molar volumes of electrolytes and electrostriction in water and non-aqueous solvents
TL;DR: Consistent trends in ion-specificity across many solvents are seen and these trends are similar to those seen in previous studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific-ion effects in non-aqueous systems
TL;DR: In this article, a survey of the literature on specific-ion effects in non-aqueous solvents is surveyed with a view to determining if the Hofmeister series or Lyotropic series so universally observed in aqueous systems is widely evident in nonaqueous systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Volcano Plots Emerge from a Sea of Nonaqueous Solvents: The Law of Matching Water Affinities Extends to All Solvents
TL;DR: It is proposed that specific-ion effects across all solvents including water can be understood by considering the relative sizes of the anion and cation, provided the ions are spherical or tetrahedral.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probing the Hofmeister series beyond water: Specific-ion effects in non-aqueous solvents
TL;DR: An experimental investigation of specific-ion effects in non-aqueous solvents is presented, with the aim of elucidating the role of the solvent in perturbing the fundamental ion-specific trend.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and rheology of gel nanostructures from a vitamin C-based surfactant
Emiliano Carretti,Virginia Mazzini,Virginia Mazzini,Emiliano Fratini,Moira Ambrosi,Luigi Dei,Piero Baglioni,Pierandrea Lo Nostro +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that in the gel the hydrophobic chains are in a liquid-like state, as in the core of a micelle, while the head groups release their acidic proton, become negatively charged and determine the onset of strong electrostatic interactions between facing lamellae.
