Chemistry at the Interface

This special issue of JBCS is dedicated to the area of Chemistry at the Interface, a rather broad area in which Brazilian scientists have obtained international recognition and where concepts and theoretical frameworks were developed and published in high quality international journals.
About 40 years ago a core of researchers working in Brazil including professors Frank Quina, Hernán Chaimovich, Omar El Seoud and Faruk Nome at both the University of Sao Paulo and the Federal University of Santa Catarina initiated a large area of research of international quality that spanned all types of association colloids such as micelles, microemulsions, and vesicles, but also emulsions, vesicles, biological membranes, and protein-surfactant interactions. At about the same time, remarkably productive international collaborations began with contemporaries who became long time friends including Clifford Bunton, Richard Weiss, Laurence Romsted, Janos Fendler and Eduardo Lissi.

Modeling Chemical Reactivity in Ionic Detergent Micelles: a Review of Fundamentals

Frank H. Quina

How to cite this article

The modulation of reactivity by interfaces is of fundamental importance in chemical and biochemical systems. The pseudophase assumption coupled with ion selectivity at the interface are sufficient to reproduce (as well as predict) many of the effects of simple ionic detergent micelles on chemical reactivity. These concepts illuminatethe underlyingrelationships betweenchemical and photochemical reactivity and the structural and electrostatic properties of charged interfaces. Details are presented in the Review Modeling Chemical Reactivity in Ionic Detergent Micelles: a Review of Fundamentals by Frank H. Quina on page 267.

Electrified Water: Liquid, Vapor and Aerosol

Thiago A. L. Burgo; Fernando Galembeck

How to cite this article

 

Water with excess charge is the outcome of many different events triggered by electric fields or by interfacial phenomena that produce non-electroneutral water, either liquid, solid or vapor, due to excess H+ or OH- concentration.

Improving the Electroluminescence of [Zn(salophen)(OH2)] in Polyfluorene-Based Light-Emitting Diode: The Role of Energy Transfer and Charge Recombination

José C. Germino; Fernando J. Quites; Gregório C. Faria; Romildo J. Ramos; Teresa D. Z. Atvars

How to cite this article

 

Aquo[N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-o-phenylenediamine]zinc(II) ([Zn(salophen)(OH)2]) exhibits low photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) properties. However, due to the high energy transfer and charge recombination from the poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)-alt-co-(9,9-di-{5'-pentanyl}-fluorenyl-2,7-diyl)] (PFOFPen) blue luminescent polymer, [Zn(salophen)(OH)2] exhibits an intense EL, combining polyfluorene and coordination compounds, and generates a near-white light organic light-emitting diode (OLED).
