The kinetics of organic reactions of different types in microvolumes (droplets, thin films, and sealed tubes) show effects of gas/solution interfacial area, reaction molecularity and solvent polarity as discussed by the authors.
Abstract
The kinetics of organic reactions of different types in microvolumes (droplets, thin films, and sealed tubes) show effects of gas/solution interfacial area, reaction molecularity and solvent polarity. Partial solvation at the gas/solution interface is a major contributor to the 104 -fold reaction acceleration seen in bimolecular but not unimolecular reactions in microdroplets. Reaction acceleration can be used to manipulate selectivity by solvent choice.

Kinetic Study of the Maillard Reaction in Thin Film Generated by Microdroplets Deposition

TL;DR: In this paper , the Maillard reaction kinetics in the confined volume of the thin film produced by ESI microdroplet deposition was studied by mass spectrometry and the almost exclusive formation of the Amadori product from the reaction of D-xylose and D-glucose toward L-glycine and L-lysine was demonstrated.

Infrared Reflection-Absorption Spectroscopy of α-Keto Acids at the Air-Water Interface: Effects of Chain Length and Headgroup on Environmentally Relevant Surfactant Films.

TL;DR: In this article , the impact of the polar headgroup and alkyl tail length on the structure and morphology of organic monolayers at the air-water interfaces was examined, and it was shown that the structure of α-keto acids, both soluble and insoluble, at water surfaces is a compromise between van der Waals interactions of the hydrocarbon tail and hydrogen bonding interactions involving the polar group.

Accelerated bimolecular reactions in microdroplets studied by desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the environment in the microdroplet differs from that of the bulk: (i) the pH of the solution moves towards the extremes, (ii) the concentrations of the reagents increase, (iii) the relative surface area increases and collision frequencies increase.
