Abstract
Calcium sulfate hemihydrate, also known as bassanite or Plaster of Paris, is one of the most extensively produced inorganic materials worldwide. Nowadays, bassanite is mainly obtained by thermal dehydration of calcium sulfate dihydrate (gypsum) - a process that consumes considerable amounts of energy and thus leaves a significant carbon footprint. Towards a more sustainable future, alternative technologies for bassanite production at low temperatures are therefore urgently required. While successful approaches involving organic solvents have been reported, we chose precipitation from aqueous solutions as a potentially even "greener" way of synthesis. In a previous work, we have shown that spontaneous formation of bassanite in water (in competition with thermodynamically favoured gypsum) can be achieved at 40 °C by the use of additives that maintain specific interactions with calcium sulfate precursors and modulate the local hydration household during crystallisation. The results of the present study demonstrate that bassanite can be obtained via simple precipitation from aqueous solutions at room temperature by the combination of additives acting through orthogonal mechanisms.

Abstract
The fluorination of the aromatic multifunctional Lewis base passivation strategy has been demonstrated recently as an effective approach to markedly enhance the performance of perovskite photovoltaic devices. However, the regulation mechanisms of the passivation efficiency by varying the functional group position of fluorine (F) in the regioisomers have received little attention and inadequate research. Herein, a pair of bifluorine-substituted aminobenzoic acid regioisomers [3-amino-2,6-difluorobenzoic acid (13-FABA) and 4-amino-3,5-difluorobenzoic acid (14-FABA)] were employed to investigate the passivation effects of Lewis bases dependent on behaviors of the ortho/meta-substituted position of fluorine. The density functional theory calculation on electron cloud density, interaction energy, and the basicity of Lewis bases combined with experimental evidence reveal that the ortho-effect induced by fluorine substitution weakens the passivating effect of 13-FABA Lewis base and induces its molecular propensity to form internal salts, accelerating the degradation and deterioration of the device performance. Conversely, 14-FABA with meta-connected fluorine atoms exhibit superior efficacy in suppressing defects and enhancing hydrophobicity. Eventually, the 14-FABA-modified photodetectors (PDs) achieved a high detectivity of 1.69 × 1013 Jones, the comparatively lower dark current density of 2.2 × 10-10 A/cm2 among all-inorganic perovskite PD systems. Our work has not only clarified the fundamental mechanisms of the F-substituted position effects of Lewis base on suppressing defects but also provided a promising passivation strategy for perovskite films via designing the regioisomeric atoms in a multifunctional Lewis base molecule.

An in-depth investigation of the impact of salt nature on the formulation of microemulsion systems. Sci Rep 2023; 13:14362. [PMID: 37658147 PMCID: PMC10474266 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-40761-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Electrolytes have a wide range of technological applications. Despite the recent improvements in characterizing and predicting the phase behavior of microemulsion systems by hydrophilic-lipophilic deviation (HLD) and net-average curvature (NAC) frameworks, they are ineffective in the presence of different salts. This work seeks to bridge this gap by investigating the influence of salt nature on the microemulsion phase formulation. First, a one-dimensional salinity scan on different microemulsion systems consisting of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate as a surfactant, hexane as an oil and, several brines was carried out, and the effect of each salt on the phase behavior were precisely evaluated. The results for optimum salinity and solubilization parameter of different salts were consistent with the Hofmeister series. In addition, multiple linear regression model is presented to accurately predicting the optimum salinity of different salts using this research data and all the available experimental data. The results revealed that the values estimated by this model is in significant consistency with the experimental data by correlation coefficient of 0.92. Finally, the effect of salt type on the NAC parameters (length parameter, and characteristic length[Formula: see text] were evaluated to improve the predicting ability of this equation of state in the presence of various salts. We found that salt nature has a significant impact on both these parameters. It was found that the length parameter is linearly dependent on the optimum ionic strength of salts while the salting-out capacity of each salt was predominant factor affecting the characteristic length.

From Hofmeister to hydrotrope: Effect of anion hydrocarbon chain length on a polymer brush. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 634:983-994.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Specific ion effects govern myriad biological phenomena, including protein-ligand interactions and enzyme activity. Despite recent advances, detailed understanding of the role of ion hydrophobicity in specific ion effects, and the intersection with hydrotropic effects, remains elusive. Short chain fatty acid sodium salts are simple amphiphiles which play an integral role in our gastrointestinal health. We hypothesise that increasing a fatty acid's hydrophobicity will manifest stronger salting-out behaviour. EXPERIMENTS Here we study the effect of these amphiphiles on an exemplar thermoresponsive polymer brush system, conserving the carboxylate anion identity while varying anion hydrophobicity via the carbon chain length. Ellipsometry and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring were used to characterise the thermoresponse and viscoelasticity of the brush, respectively, whilst neutron reflectometry was used to reveal the internal structure of the brush. Diffusion-ordered nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and computational investigations provide insight into polymer-ion interactions. FINDINGS Surface sensitive techniques unveiled a non-monotonic trend in salting-out ability with increasing anion hydrophobicity, revealing the bundle-like morphology of the ion-collapsed system. An intersection between ion-specific and hydrotropic effects was observed both experimentally and computationally; trending from good anti-hydrotrope towards hydrotropic behaviour with increasing anion hydrophobicity, accompanying a change in hydrophobic hydration.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The role of hormones and polyphenolic acids in communication and regulation of biological processes can be linked to their physical-chemical interaction with target compounds and water. Further, the variety of polyphenolic acids suggests adjustable hydrotropic properties of these natural compounds. EXPERIMENTS Phase transition temperature (PTT) measurements of binary water/di(propylene glycol) n-propyl ether (DPnP) or propylene glycol n-propyl ether (PnP) systems with sodium dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (NaDHEAS), indole-3-acetate (NaIAA), indole-3-butyrate (NaIBA) - common hormones -, and sodium polyphenolates should unravel their salting-in/-out properties. Their salting-in/-out behavior was compared to the compounds' surface-active and structuring properties via surface tension, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. FINDINGS All hormone salts were revealed as salting-in agents. PTT, surface tension and DLS measurements indicated surfactant-like behavior of the hormone NaDHEAS, and hydrotropic behavior of NaIAA and NaIBA. The salting-in/-out properties of sodium polyphenolates - in an (anti-)hydrotrope range - are adjustable with functional groups. The (i) absence of nano-structuring in pure water, (ii) the reduction of the DPnP nano-structuring in water in presence of sodium polyphenolates and (iii) the absence of a slope change of the PTT curves at the critical aggregation concentration showed that the DPnP/polyphenolate interactions are of molecular hydrotropic and not of micellar/aggregative nature.

Abstract
Dynamic biomolecular condensates formed by liquid-liquid phase separation can regulate the spatial and temporal organization of proteins, thus modulating their functional activity in cells. Previous studies showed that the cell division protein FtsZ from Escherichia coli formed dynamic phase-separated condensates with nucleoprotein complexes containing the FtsZ spatial regulator SlmA under crowding conditions, with potential implications for condensate-mediated spatiotemporal control of FtsZ activity in cell division. In the present study, we assessed formation of these condensates in the presence of lipid surfaces and glutamate ions to better approximate the E. coli intracellular environment. We found that potassium glutamate substantially promoted the formation of FtsZ-containing condensates when compared to potassium chloride in crowded solutions. These condensates accumulated on supported lipid bilayers and eventually fused, resulting in a time-dependent increase in the droplet size. Moreover, the accumulated condensates were dynamic, capturing protein from the external phase. FtsZ partitioned into the condensates at the lipid surface only in its guanosine diphosphate (GDP) form, regardless of whether it came from FtsZ polymer disassembly upon guanosine triphosphate (GTP) exhaustion. These results provide insights into the behavior of these GTP-responsive condensates in minimal membrane systems, which suggest how these membraneless assemblies may tune critical bacterial division events during the cell cycle.

Abstract
Specific ion effects (SIE), encompassing the Hofmeister Series, have been known for more than 130 years since Hofmeister and Lewith's foundational work. SIEs are ubiquitous and are observed across the medical, biological, chemical and industrial sciences. Nevertheless, no general predictive theory has yet been able to explain ion specificity across these fields; it remains impossible to predict when, how, and to what magnitude, a SIE will be observed. In part, this is due to the complexity of real systems in which ions, counterions, solvents and cosolutes all play varying roles, which give rise to anomalies and reversals in anticipated SIEs. Herein we review the historical explanations for SIE in water and the key ion properties that have been attributed to them. Systems where the Hofmeister series is perturbed or reversed are explored, as is the behaviour of ions at the liquid-vapour interface. We discuss SIEs in mixed electrolytes, nonaqueous solvents, and in highly concentrated electrolyte solutions - exciting frontiers in this field with particular relevance to biological and electrochemical applications. We conclude the perspective by summarising the challenges and opportunities facing this SIE research that highlight potential pathways towards a general predictive theory of SIE.

Abstract
Surfactants aggregate in water into micelles, and these micelles incorporate organic substances to solubilize them. Hydrotropes are compounds that increase the solubility of hydrophobic substances in water without this form of aggregation. Decreasing the chain length of the classical surfactant Aerosol OT (AOT) from C8 to C5 results in a molecule with intermediate properties. Molecular dynamics simulations and surface tension measurements are performed on this short chain derivative of AOT. This compound shows high solubility and at the same time progressive weak aggregation. The hydration of head groups hinders significant plunging into a hydrophobic core, which leads to well defined liquid chain nanodomains. The transition to bicontinuous aggregates is in the concentration range of 1 mol L-1. The sulfonate group of the head groups (placed at the water interface of worm-like aggregates) rather than the aggregate-aggregate interaction is responsible for the unusual small angle X-ray scattering pattern.

Abstract
Surfactant adsorption at the air-water interface is critical to many industrial processes but its dependence on salt ions is still poorly understood. Here, we investigate the adsorption of sodium dodecanoate onto the air-water interface using model saline waters of Li+ or Cs+ at pH values 8 and 11. Both cations enhance the surfactant adsorption, as expected, but their largest effects on the adsorption also depend on pH. Specifically, surface tension measurements, sum-frequency generation spectroscopy, and microelectrophoresis show that small (hard) Li+ enhances the surfactant adsorption more than large (soft) Cs+ at pH 11. This effect is fully reversed at pH 8. We argue that this salting-up (increasing adsorption) reversal is attributable to the conversion of the neutralized carboxylic (-COOH) headgroup at pH 8 into the charged carboxylate (-COO-) headgroup at pH 11, which, respectively, interact with Cs+ and Li+ favorably. Molecular dynamics simulation shows that the affinity of Cs+ to the interface is decreased and eventually overtaken by Li+ as the carboxylic groups are deprotonated. This study highlights the importance of the charge and size of salt ions in selecting surfactants and electrolytes for industrial applications.

In this work, a phosphorylated resveratrol material was examined for its anti-aggregation properties in vitro and in vivo. Here, an anti-fibrillation effect could be measured for amyloid beta and human insulin in vitro and general anti-aggregation properties for crude chicken egg white in solution. Using a drosophila fly model for the overexpression of amyloid beta protein, changes in physiological protein aggregation and improved locomotor abilities could be observed in the presence of dietary phosphorylated resveratrol. Phosphorylated resveratrol can prevent the aggregation of globular and intrinsically disordered proteins in vitro and in vivo.![]()

Abstract
The gene encoding the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) catalytic subunit-like protein PKAC1 from the Venezuelan TeAp-N/D1 strain of Trypanosoma equiperdum was cloned, and the recombinant TeqPKAC1 protein was overexpressed in bacteria. A major polypeptide with an apparent molecular mass of ∼38 kDa was detected by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and immunoblotting using antibodies against the human PKA catalytic subunit α. Unfortunately, most of the expressed TeqPKAC1 was highly insoluble. Polypeptides of 36-38 kDa and 45-50 kDa were predominantly seen by immunoblotting in the bacterial particulate and cytosolic fractions, respectively. Since the incorporation of either 4% Triton X-100 or 3% sarkosyl or a mixture of 10 mM MgCl2 and 1 mM ATP (MgATP) improved the solubilization of TeqPKAC1, we used a combination of Triton X-100, sarkosyl and MgATP to solubilize the recombinant protein. TeqPKAC1 was purified by first reconstituting a hybrid holoenzyme between the recombinant protein and a mammalian poly-His-tagged PKA regulatory subunit that was immobilized on a Ni2+-chelating affinity resin, and then by eluting TeqPKAC1 using cAMP. TeqPKAC1 was functional given that it was capable of phosphorylating PKA catalytic subunit substrates, such as kemptide (LRRASLG), histone type II-AS, and the peptide SP20 (TTYADFIASGRTGRRNSIHD), and was inhibited by the peptide IP20 (TTYADFIASGRTGRRNAIHD), which contains the inhibitory motif of the PKA-specific heat-stable inhibitor PKI-α. Optimal enzymatic activity was obtained at 37 °C and pH 8.0-9.0; and the order of effectiveness of nucleotide triphosphates and divalent cations was ATP » GTP ≅ ITP and Mg2+ ≅ Mn2+ ≅ Fe2+ » Ca2+ ≅ Zn2, respectively.

Abstract
This Minireview provides a comprehensive discussion on the potential of using acid hydrotropes for sustainably fractionating lignocelluloses for biorefinery applications. Acid hydrotropes are a class of acids that have hydrotrope properties toward lignin, which helps to solubilize lignin in aqueous systems. With the capability of cleaving ether and ester bonds and even lignin-carbohydrate complex (LCC) linkages, these acid hydrotropes can therefore isolate lignin embedded in the plant biomass cell wall and subsequently solubilize the isolated lignin in aqueous systems. Performances of two acid hydrotropes, that is, an aromatic sulfonic acid [p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH)] and a dicarboxylic acid [maleic acid (MA)], in terms of delignification and dissolution of hemicelluloses, and reducing lignin condensation, were evaluated and compared. The advantages of lignin esterification by MA for producing cellulosic sugars through enzymatic hydrolysis and lignin-containing cellulose nanofibrils (LCNFs) through mechanical fibrillation from the fractionated water insoluble solids (WIS), and for obtaining less condensed lignin with light color, were demonstrated. The excellent enzymatic digestibility of maleic acid hydrotropic fractionation WISs was also demonstrated by comparing with WISs from other fractionation processes. The recyclability and reusability of acid hydrotropes were also reviewed. Finally, perspectives on future research needs to address key technical issues for commercialization were also provided.

Abstract
In his 1916 land-mark paper "Hydrotropic appearances", Carl Neuberg coined the term "hydrotropy", referring to the solubilisation effect of hydrophobic molecules by small, amphiphilic compounds. In this voluminous work he examines 43 different compounds for their hydrotropic effect and touches on many aspects that later became relevant to hydrotrope science (e.g. applications in pharma, green chemistry, pre-ouzo effect, etc.). Given the significance of his work, it is still widely cited today. However, poor availability and a potential language barrier will severely limit the accessibility for international researchers. Therefore, this translation into the English language seeks to provide access to both, his original thoughts as well as his prolific experimental work on this topic.
