We have analyzed the electrical conductivity of a linear high charge density polyelectrolyte aqueous solution, finding that the counterion association order follows the same pattern as that described for a cyclic monomeric ...

Counterion condensation to poly(1,1-dimethyl-3,5-dimethylene piperidinium) through the behavior of the relative conductimetric interaction parameter f* in methanol/water solutions is analyzed. The trend of this parameter ...

We developed a Monte Carlo systematic study into the effect of counterion condensation on the polyelectrolyte adsorption process on charged surfaces. Polyelectrolyte is modeled as a full-flexible chain whose size is ...

The exchange between bromide and chloride counterions at the surfaces of dioctadecyldimethylammonium vesicles has been examined through fluorescence quenching experiments. The quenching of the fluorescence of vesicle-incorporated ...

The effect of the nature of the medium on the chloride and bromide condensation to a cationic polyelectrolyte was studied. Methanol/water mixtures were used as solvent in order to vary continuously the properties of the ...

Silver coordination compounds have been widely studied, among others, because of their fascinating structures where the counterions can play an essential role in the construction of supramolecular networks. Herein, seven ...

Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) films based on [Q][Eu(dbm)4)] complexes — where dbm− = 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedionate, Q = C26H56N+ (Q1), C19H42N+ (Q2), or C17H38N+ (Q3) — using amphiphilic counterions (Q) to organize the luminescent ...

Tracer diffusion coefficients of Ag+ in silver polystyrenesulfonate and counterion activity coefficients of sodium and silver polystyrenesulfonates have been determined at different concentrations. The results have been ...

Adhesion of electrically charged lipid vesicles and subsequent formation of multi-vesicle aggregates can be induced by multivalent rod-like counterions. Motivated by recent experimental observations we calculate the ...
