Ions in water: characterizing the forces that control chemical processes and biological structure.

TLDR
Two different techniques indicate that the interaction of water with anions is by an approximately linear hydrogen bond, suggesting that the dominant forces on ions in water are short range forces of a chemical nature.

Toward a quantitative theory of Hofmeister phenomena: From quantum effects to thermodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes some steps toward quantitative models of specific ion hydration and discusses a possible path looking forward, as well as a possible solution to the problem of ion specificity.

Influence of Ionic Strength and Surfactant Concentration on Electrostatic Surfacial Assembly of Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide-Capped Gold Nanorods on Fully Immersed Glass

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that electrostatic shielding of charges around the GNRs affects the density of GNR immobilization, resulting in a parabolic trend of nanorod surface density when ionic strength is continually increased.

Protein-Protein Interactions in Salt Solutions

Jifeng Zhang
TL;DR: Studying protein-protein interactions could shed light on the mechanism of protein condensation (or phase transition) diseases, such as cataract and sickle cell disease and Parkinson's disease.

Phosphate uptake studies of cross-linked chitosan bead materials.

TL;DR: Adsorption isotherms and structural characterization of bead systems illustrate the role of surface charge, hydrophile-lipophile balance, adsorption site accessibility, and hydration properties of the chitosan bead surface.

Water revealed as molecular mirror when measuring low concentrations of sugar with near infrared light

TL;DR: The results presented in this study support the aquaphotomics' water molecular mirror concept that explores spectral changes related to water molecular rearrangements caused by minute changes of the solutes in the aqueous systems.

The Hofmeister effect and the behaviour of water at interfaces.

TL;DR: The first general, detailed qualitative molecular mechanism for the origins of ion-specific (Hofmeister) effects on the surface potential difference at an air-water interface is proposed; this mechanism suggests a simple model for the behaviour of water at all interfaces, regardless of whether the non-aqueous component is neutral or charged, polar or non-polar.

Specific ion effects at the air/water interface.

TL;DR: Aqueous ion-containing interfaces are ubiquitous and play a key role in a plethora of physical, chemical, atmospheric, and biological processes, from which just a few illustrative examples are mentioned.
