High impact international research from Faraday Discussions

28 Feb 2012

By Heather Montgomery, Deputy Editor.

We would like to share with you some of the high impact international research recently published in Faraday Discussions.

Faraday Discussions are meetings which provide a unique international platform for the exchange of views and newly acquired results in developing research areas.

Faraday Discussions attract world-class speakers, including many Nobel Prize winners.

The papers and discussion are published in a Faraday Discussions volume. The latest Impact Factor is 4.5.

We have a packed programme of discussions in 2012. Please follow the links below to find out more:

Insights into the interface between water and ionic liquids

03 Nov 2011

By Heather Montgomery, Deputy Editor.

HOT article from FD154: Ionic Liquids

This article by Deyko and Jones describes in detail the interaction of water at the surface of two ionic liquids. The authors found that the ILs were arranged so they had a hydrophobic surface layer. Water was able to absorb into the ILs at room temperature but no absorption into the frozen ILs was observed.

Read the full HOT Faraday Discussion article today:

Adsorption, absorption and desorption of gases at liquid surfaces: water on [C₈C₁Im][BF₄] and [C₂C₁Im][Tf₂N]
Alexey Deyko and Robert G. Jones
