Aqueous ions are central to catalysis and biological function and play an important role in radiation biology as sources of damage-inducing electrons. Detailed knowledge of solute–solvent interactions ...

Solubility functions by a group of rules that determine how dissolvable a substance (solute) is in solvent and depends entirely on the physical and chemical properties of the solute and solvent. That ...

Despite the importance of predicting solubility, it is not an easy matter. One approach, using 'brute force' simulations, requires long computing times. Other techniques, while faster, fail to predict ...

Solubility, polymorphism, crystallinity, and crystal habit of acetaminophen and racemic (+/-)-ibuprofen were determined by initial screening of 23 solvents for scale-up. Solubility curves were ...

Researchers have reported a zero-dimensional metal halide that switches its fluorescence ON through two independent pathways: ...

Solute clustering in the Mg-2at.%Zn alloy predicted by atomistic simulations. Over the last couple of decades, researchers have been able to demonstrate that tiny groupings of solute atoms at the ...

Science presenter Jon Chase demonstrates that a large piece of expanded polystyrene will dissolve in a very small volume of propanone. He defines the terms solute, solvent and solution. By dissolving ...
