Selective extraction of specific, charge-dense anions from a solution is beneficial, but has been limited in practice by the inability of anion extraction to overcome the Hofmeister bias. In ...

All chemists are familiar with the litmus test. Like other acid-base indicators, litmus changes color when the pH of a solution changes. The indicator is an example of a "naked-eye" colorimetric ion ...

Chemists have found that the all-cis isomer of hexafluorocyclohexane, a molecule that made headlines last year for being the most polar aliphatic compound known, is capable of binding both cations and ...

Contemplating what other anions might be capable of displaying such behavior (using other atoms than hydrogen) the researchers argue that nitrate actually has a rather unique set of properties that ...

Boron cluster chemistry occupies a unique niche in modern chemical science, bridging fundamental inorganic chemistry with practical materials applications. Central to this field is the study of ...

Scientists at UNSW Sydney, together with collaborators from Western Sydney University and The Netherlands, were surprised to find that dihydrogen phosphate anions - vital inorganic ions for cellular ...

Cations are ions that are positively charged. Anions are ions that are negatively charged. Ions are charged atoms or molecules. If a balanced atom loses one or more electrons, it will become a ...

Metal-ion hybrid capacitors combine the properties of capacitors and batteries. One electrode uses the capacitive mechanism, the other the battery-type redox processes. Scientists have now scrutinized ...

The entry-level ion chromatograph, Eco IC, is designed for routine water analysis. Fully equipped with a conductivity detector, the instrument can be run either with or without chemical suppression.
