Exploration of the unique chemical properties of interfaces can unlock new understanding. A
striking example is the finding of accelerated reactions, particularly spontaneous oxidation …

Microdroplets show unique chemistry, especially in their intrinsic redox properties, and to
this we here add a case of simultaneous and spontaneous oxidation and reduction. We …

Spontaneous oxidation of compounds containing diverse X= Y moieties (eg, sulfonamides,
ketones, esters, sulfones) occurs readily in organic-solvent microdroplets. This surprising …

Among the radicals (hydroxyl radical (• OH), hydrogen atom (H•), and solvated electron
(esol−)) that are generated via water radiolysis,• OH has been shown to be the main …

Reactions in microdroplets can be accelerated and can present unique chemistry compared
to reactions in bulk solution. Here, we report the accelerated oxidation of aromatic sulfones …

DNA damage induced via dissociative attachment by low-energy electrons (0 to 20 eV) is
well studied in both gas and condensed phases. However, the reactivity of ultrashort-lived …

The role of the short-lived hydrated electron (eaq–) has recently begun to be appreciated in
per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) remediations; nevertheless, few studies to date …

We study structural, dynamical, and electronic properties of liquid water through ab initio
molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on a hybrid functional which includes nonlocal …

We determine the ionization potential (IP) and the electron affinity (EA) of liquid water
together with the absolute redox level of the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) by …

A unified picture of the electronic relaxation dynamics of ionized liquid water has remained
elusive despite decades of study. Here, we employ sub-two-cycle visible to short-wave …
