Solvation properties are key for understanding the interactions between solvents and solutes, making them critical for optimizing chemical synthesis and biochemical applications. Designable solvents for targeted optimization of these end-uses could,...

The solvent-dependent intensity changes in the first UV/Vis absorption band of the three polyenes DPH, DPHb, and ttbP3 dissolved in a hydrocarbon solvent with temperature allow for the conclusion that, at temperatures above 233 K, the two phenyl grou...

A computational model that can accurately describe the thermodynamics of a hydrocarbon system and its properties under various conditions is a prerequisite for running reservoir and pipeline simulations. Cubic Equations of State (EoS) are mathematica...

Assessment of the environmental impact of organic chemicals has become an important subject in chemical science. Efficient quantitative descriptors of their impact are their partition coefficients logP_ow, logK_oa and logK_aw. We present a group-additiv...

The UV/Vis absorption energies (ν_max) of different solvatochromic probes measured in co-solvent/water mixtures are re-analyzed as a function of the average molar concentration (N_av) of the solvent composition compared to the use of the mole fracti...

This article contains a comparative spectral analysis corroborated with the quantum mechanical computations of four cycloimmonium ylids. The spectral shift of the visible electronic absorption band of the studied molecules in 20 solvents with differe...

Catalan’s SPP^N, a measure of solvent polarity/polarizability has been analysed in terms of molecular properties derived from computational chemistry. The results show that SPP^N correlates positively with the molecular dipole moment and quadrupo...

The intramolecular charge transfer behavior of push–pull dyes is the origin of their sensitivity to environment. Such compounds are of interest as probes for bioimaging and as biosensors to monitor cellular dynamics and molecular interactions....

The thermodynamic and kinetic contributions to the over-extraction of extractables by nonpolar organic solvents relative to biological lipids in exhaustive and exaggerated extractions of medical devices are studied based on the Abraham solvation mode...

This short review describes the expansion of the solvatochromic approach utilizing water-soluble solvatochromic dyes to the analysis of solvent features of aqueous media in solutions of various compounds. These solvent features (polarity/dipolarity,...

Molecular dynamics simulations have been used to investigate the structural changes in confined liquids. The density distribution functions for weakly and strongly interacting liquids were determined and compared to those of a non-interacting system...

Many reactions are carried out in solvent mixtures, mainly because of practical reasons. For example, E2 eliminations are favored over S_N2 substitutions in aqueous organic solvents because the bases are desolvated. This example raises the question: h...

This review article is devoted to the colloidal properties of fullerene solutions. According to generally accepted understandings, all solvents in relations to fullerenes are divided into “good”, “poor”, and “reactive&rd...

The pivotal role of proteins in pharmaceuticals is challenged by stability issues, making the study of inclusion bodies—a source of insoluble protein aggregates—increasingly relevant. This review outlines the critical procedures in inclus...
