Abstract
Advanced ionic conductors are crucial for a large variety of contemporary technologies spanning solid state ion batteries, fuel cells, gas sensors, water desalination, etc. In this work, we report on a new member of KTiOPO4-structured materials, NaGaPO4F, with sodium-ion conductivity. NaGaPO4F has been obtained for the first time via a facile two-step synthesis consisting of a hydrothermal preparation of an ammonia-based precursor, NH4GaPO4F, followed by an ion exchange reaction with NaNO3. Its crystal structure was precisely refined using a combination of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction and electron diffraction tomography. The material is thermally stable upon 450 °C showing no significant structural transformations or degradation but only a ∼1% cell volume expansion. Na-ion mobility in NaGaPO4F was investigated by a joint experimental and computational approach comprising solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and density functional theory (DFT). DFT and bond-valence site energy (BVSE) calculations reveal 3D diffusion of sodium in the [GaPO4F] framework with migration barriers amounting to 0.22 and 0.44 eV, respectively, while NMR yields 0.3-0.5 eV that, being coupled with a calculated bandgap of ∼4.25 eV, makes NaGaPO4F a promising fast Na-ion conductor.

Abstract
The rechargeable Na-ion batteries attract much attention as an alternative to the widely used but expensive Li-ion batteries. The search for materials with high sodium diffusion is important for the development of solid state electrolytes. We present the results of experimental and ab initio studies of the Na-ion diffusion mechanism in Na9Sc(MoO4)6. The ion conductivity reaches the value of 3.6 × 10-2 S cm-1 at T ∼ 850 K. The 23Na and 45Sc NMR data reveal the coexistence of three different types of Na-ion motion in the temperature range from 300 to 750 K. They are activated at different temperatures and are characterized by substantially different dynamics parameters. These features are confirmed by ab initio calculations of activation barriers for sodium diffusion along various paths.

Abstract
A combined use of (31)P, (23)Na, (2)H and (17)O NMR spectroscopies and polarized light microscopy has been employed to investigate the effect of the ethidium bromide (EB) binding on the liquid crystalline phase of concentrated double stranded DNA solutions. The optical textures and the (31)P and (23)Na NMR spectra of the DNA anisotropic solutions show that the intercalation of EB induces significant modifications either in the arrangements of the DNA rods and the surrounding ionic atmosphere. On the contrary, no indication of significant changes of the orientational order of the water molecules around DNA emerges from the water (2)H and (17)O NMR spectra.

Abstract
We have derived approximate analytic solutions to the master equation describing the evolution of the spin I=3/2 density operator in the presence of a radio-frequency (RF) field and both static and fluctuating quadrupolar interactions. Spectra resulting from Fourier transformation of the evolutions of the on-resonance spin-locked magnetization into the various coherences display two satellite pairs and, in some cases, a central line. The central line is generally trimodal, consisting of a narrow component related to a slowly relaxing mode and two broad components pertaining to two faster relaxing modes. The rates of the fast modes are sensitive to slow molecular motion. Neither the amplitude nor the width of the narrow component is affected by the magnitude of the static coupling, whereas the corresponding features of the broad components depend in a rather complicated manner on the spin-lock field strength and static quadrupolar interaction. Under certain experimental conditions, the dependencies of the amplitudes on the dynamics are seen to vanish and the relaxation rates reduce to relatively simple expressions. One of the promising emerging features is the fact that the evolutions into the selectively detected quadrupolar spin polarization order and the rank-two double-quantum coherence do not exhibit a slowly relaxing mode and are particularly sensitive to slow molecular motion. Furthermore, these coherences can only be excited in the presence of a static coupling and this makes it possible to discern nuclei in anisotropic from those in isotropic environment. The feasibility of the spin-lock pulse sequences with limited RF power and a nonvanishing average electric field gradient has been demonstrated through experiments on sodium in a dense lyotropic DNA liquid crystal.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte solutions are often described by structural theories. These theories in some cases yield values for the counterion concentration at the charged monomer surface that exceed the saturation concentration. This means a change of the ion properties due to ion immobilization or ion condensation in close vicinity to the polymer chain. The extent of this counterion condensation (CIC) and the respective surface potential are calculated from the saturation concentrations of the electrolyte involved including the influence of ion hydration on the effective dielectric number. In this paper, we shall consider all these influences by a fundamental differential equation and a set of explicit formulae yielding quantitative expressions without linearization. All calculations are based on the abstraction of an idealized elementary cell.

Abstract
We have derived the differential equations that describe the dynamics of spin-3/2 nuclei in the presence of radiofrequency (RF) fields and both static and fluctuating quadrupolar interactions. The formalism presented was used to predict the sodium triple-quantum-filtered (TQ-filtered) signal loss in a whole-body scanner, where the widths of the hard 90 degrees RF pulses are on the same order of magnitude as the transverse relaxation times. A small piece of bovine nasal cartilage, known for exhibiting residual quadrupolar splittings, was used to test the theory. The sample was modeled as consisting of small domains, each characterized by a static quadrupolar interaction constant, with an overall Gaussian distribution across the sample. An increase of about 15% in the TQ-filtered signal strength, as the 90 degrees RF pulse width was decreased from 500 to 100 micros, was predicted and demonstrated experimentally for this particular sample.

Abstract
23Na-NMR, (1)H-NMR, and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy have been used to study the thermal stability of the double helix structure of an 11-basepair oligonucleotide. The denaturation curves obtained by (23)Na-NMR and UV are analyzed using a two-state model. The melting temperature and DeltaH(0) obtained are identical within experimental error, suggesting that modifications in the ionic atmosphere, probed by (23)Na-NMR, and the modifications in the basepair stacking, probed by UV, occur at the same temperature. Additional dynamical information on the denaturation process has been obtained by (1)H-NMR: slow exchange is observed between the thymine methyl resonances, and the disappearance of imino protons shows that a single basepair opening does not contribute significantly to proton exchange.

Abstract
Recent studies by x-ray crystallography, NMR, and molecular simulations have suggested that monovalent counterions can penetrate deeply into the minor groove of B form DNA. Such groove-bound ions potentially could play an important role in AT-tract bending and groove narrowing, thereby modulating DNA function in vivo. To address this issue, we report here (23)Na magnetic relaxation dispersion measurements on oligonucleotides, including difference experiments with the groove-binding drug netropsin. The exquisite sensitivity of this method to ions in long-lived and intimate association with DNA allows us to detect sequence-specific sodium ion binding in the minor groove AT tract of three B-DNA dodecamers. The sodium ion occupancy is only a few percent, however, and therefore is not likely to contribute importantly to the ensemble of B-DNA structures. We also report results of ion competition experiments, indicating that potassium, rubidium, and cesium ions bind to the minor groove with similarly weak affinity as sodium ions, whereas ammonium ion binding is somewhat stronger. The present findings are discussed in the light of previous NMR and diffraction studies of sequence-specific counterion binding to DNA.

Abstract
The distribution of sodium and chlorine ions around DNA is presented from two molecular dynamics simulations of the DNA fragment d(C(5)T(5)). (A(5)G(5)) in explicit solvent with 0.8 M additional NaCl salt. One simulation was carried out for 10 ns with the CHARMM force field that keeps the DNA structure close to A-DNA, the other for 12 ns with the AMBER force field that preferentially stabilizes B-DNA conformations (, Biophys. J. 75:134-149). From radial distributions of sodium and chlorine ions a primary ion shell is defined. The ion counts and residence times of ions within this shell are compared between conformations and with experiment. Ordered sodium ion sites were found in minor and major grooves around both A and B-DNA conformations. Changes in the surrounding hydration structure are analyzed and implications for the stabilization of A-DNA and B-DNA conformations are discussed.
