Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are a powerful tool for detailed studies of altered
properties of liquids in confinement, in particular, of changed structures and dynamics. They …

Water is the sustainable solvent of excellence, but its high polarity limits the solubility of non-
polar compounds. Confinement of water in hydrophobic pores alters its hydrogen bonding …

Labeling in diffusion measurements by pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR is based on the
observation of the phase of nuclear spins acquired in a constant magnetic field with …

We show that 2D H 2 NMR spectra enable valuable insights into the nature of an ice-water
equilibrium in nanoscale confinement, which extends over a broad temperature range. In …

The dynamics of water confined in mesoporous MIP (2–3 nm pores in size) with silica gel
(secondary silica; further, the abbreviation SG will be used) and MAP (10–35 nm pores in …

This review gives an overview of current trends in the investigation of small guest molecules,
confined in neat and functionalized mesoporous silica materials by a combination of solid …

It is a longstanding question whether universality or specificity characterize the molecular
dynamics underlying the glass transition of liquids. In particular, there is an ongoing debate …

We have investigated the dynamics of liquid water confined in mesostructured porous silica
(MCM-41) and periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) by incoherent quasielastic …

We confine water to narrow silica pores, where crystallization is suppressed, and determine
the dynamical susceptibilities of the liquid from room temperature down to the glass …

NMR diffusometry is used to ascertain the pore-size dependent water diffusion in MCM-41
and SBA-15 silica over broad temperature ranges. Detailed analysis of 1H and 2H NMR …
