This is a review of atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis as applied to the study of
molecular materials. The PDF method is a powerful approach to study short-and …

Molten ZnCl 2 hydrates are ionic liquids at room temperature, which exhibit intriguing
physical and electrochemical properties. Continuous efforts have been devoted over several …

The structure and function of biomolecules are strongly influenced by their hydration shells.
Structural fluctuations and molecular excitations of hydrating water molecules cover a broad …

Extensive research has been carried on the molecular adsorption in high surface area
materials such as carbonaceous materials and MOFs as well as atomic bonded hydrogen in …

Water is one of the most important, yet least understood, liquids in nature. Many anomalous
properties of liquid water originate from its well-connected hydrogen bond network …

Femtosecond x-ray laser pulses were used to probe micrometer-sized water droplets that
were cooled down to 227 kelvin in vacuum. Isothermal compressibility and correlation length …

Proton transfer is crucial for electrocatalysis. Accumulating cations at electrochemical
interfaces can alter the proton transfer rate and then tune electrocatalytic performance …

It is now established that crystalline cellulose is held together not just by hydrogen bonding,
but also by dispersion forces and by electrostatic attraction modulated by stereoelectronic …
