Among them, alcohol-based DESs serve as useful media in various applications due to their significantly low viscosity as compared to other DESs. Despite their importance as media, little is known how their solvation dynamics change as a function of the hydrocarbon chain length of the alcohol constituent. In order to obtain insights into the chain-length dependence of the solvation dynamics, we have performed two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy on three alcohol-based DESs by systematically varying the hydrocarbon chain length. The results reveal that the solvent dynamics slows down monotonically with an increase in the chain length. This increase in the dynamic timescales also shows a strong correlation with the concomitant increase in the viscosity of DESs. In addition, we have performed molecular dynamics simulations to compare with the experimental results, thereby testing the capacity of simulations to determine the amplitudes and timescales of the structural fluctuations on fast timescales under thermal equilibrium conditions.&lt;/p&gt;

Despite their importance as useful media in various applications, little is known about the microscopic solvation structures of deep eutectic solvents around solutes. Herein, we show that the electrostatic field, which can be estimated both from infrared experiments and theory, can act as a unified concept to report on the microscopic heterogeneous solvation of deep eutectic solvents. Using a fluorophore containing the carbonyl moiety as the solute and the electrostatic field as a descriptor of the solvation structure of the deep eutectic solvents, we report the residue-specific distribution, orientation, and hydrogen bonding in deep eutectic solvents constituting of choline chloride and alcohols of varying chain-lengths. We observe that an increase in alcohol chain-length not only affects the alcohol's propensity to form hydrogen bond to the solute but also alters the spatial arrangement of choline cations around the solute, thereby leading to a microheterogeneity in the solvation structure. Moreover, to extend our electrostatic field based strategy to other deep eutectic solvents, we report an emission spectroscopy based method. We show that this method can be applied, in general, to all deep eutectic solvents, irrespective of their constituents. Overall, this work integrates experiments with molecular dynamics simulations to provide insights into the heterogeneous DES solvation.&lt;/p&gt;

Additionally, it displays fluorescence enhancement upon binding to human serum albumin, making warfarin a prototype fluorescent probe in biology. Despite its biological significance, the current structural assignment of warfarin in aqueous solution is based on indirect evidence in organic solvents. Warfarin is known to exist in different isomeric forms-open-chain, hemiketal, and anionic forms-based on the solvent and pH. Moreover, warfarin displays a dual absorption feature in several solvents, which has been employed to study the ring-chain isomerism between its open-chain and hemiketal isomers. In this study, our pH-dependent experiments on warfarin and structurally constrained warfarin derivatives in aqueous solution demonstrate that the structural assignment of warfarin solely on the basis of its absorption spectrum is erroneous. Using a combination of steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic experiments, along with quantum chemical calculations, we assign the observed dual absorption to two distinct pi -&amp;gt;pi* transitions in the 4-hydroxycoumarin moiety of warfarin. Furthermore, we unambiguously identify the isomeric form of warfarin that binds to human serum albumin in aqueous buffer.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.991</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sakpal, Sushil S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deshmukh, Samadhan H.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chatterjee, Srijan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghosh, Deborin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bagchi, Sayan</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transition of a deep eutectic solution to aqueous solution: a dynamical perspective of the dissolved solute</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2021</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SEP</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8784-8789</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disruption of the deep eutectic solvent (DES) nanostructure around the dissolved solute upon addition of water is investigated by polarization-selective two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. The heterogeneous DES nanostructure around the solute is partially retained up to 41 wt % of added water, although water molecules are gradually incorporated in the solute's solvation shell even at lower hydration levels. Beyond 41 wt %, the solute is observed to be preferentially solvated by water. This composition denotes the upper hydration limit of the deep eutectic solvent above which the solute senses an aqueous solvation environment. Interestingly, our results indicate that the transition from a deep eutectic solvation environment to an aqueous one around the dissolved solute can happen at a hydration level lower than that reported for the ``water in DES'' to ``DES in water'' transition.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">36</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6.475</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghosh, Deborin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sakpal, Sushil S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chatterjee, Srijan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deshmukh, Samadhan H.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kwon, Hyejin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kim, Yung Sam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bagchi, Sayan</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Association-dissociation dynamics of ionic electrolytes in low dielectric medium</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Physical Chemistry B</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2022</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">126</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">239-248</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;
	Ionic electrolytes are known to form various complexes which exist in dynamic equilibrium in a low dielectric medium. However, structural characterization of these complexes has always posed a great challenge to the scientific community. An additional challenge is the estimation of the dynamic association-dissociation time scales (lifetime of the complexes), which are key to the fundamental understanding of ion transport. In this work, we have used a combination of infrared absorption spectroscopy, two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy, molecular dynamics simulations, and density functional theory calculations to characterize the various ion complexes formed by the thiocyanate-based ionic electrolytes as a function of different cations in a low dielectric medium. Our results demonstrate that thiocyanate is an excellent vibrational reporter of the heterogeneous ion complexes undergoing association-dissociation dynamics. We find that the ionic electrolytes exist as contact ion pairs, dimers, and clusters in a low dielectric medium. The relative ratios of the various ion complexes are sensitive to the cations. In addition to the interactions between the thiocyanate anion and the countercation, the solute-solvent interactions drive the dynamic equilibrium. We have estimated the association-dissociation dynamics time scales from two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy. The exchange time scale involving the cluster is faster than that between a dimer and an ion pair. Moreover, we find that the dynamic equilibrium between the cluster and another ion complex is correlated to the solvent fluctuations.&lt;/p&gt;

	The nanocrystal surface, which acts as an interface between thesemiconductor lattice and the capping ligands, plays a significant role in theattractive photophysical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals for use in awide range of applications. Replacing the long-chain organic ligands with shortinorganic variants improves the conductivity and carrier mobility of nanocrystal-based devices. However, our current understanding of the interactions betweenthe inorganic ligands and the nanocrystals is obscure due to the lack ofexperiments to directly probe the inorganic ligands. Herein, using two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy, we show that the variations in the inorganicligand dynamics within the heterogeneous nanocrystal ensemble can identifythe diversities in the inorganic ligand-nanocrystal interactions. The liganddynamics time scale in SCN-capped CdS nanocrystals identifies three distinctligand populations and provides molecular insight into the nanocrystal surface.Our results demonstrate that the SCN-ligands engage in a dynamic equilibriumand stabilize the nanocrystals by neutralizing the surface charges through both direct binding and electrostatic interaction.&lt;/p&gt;

	Investigations on UV-vis, steady-state fluorescence and synchronous fluorescence properties of human hemoglobin (HHb) reveals greater spectral shifts in peaks arising due to alterations in microenvironment of Tyr-compared to Trp-during interactions with gold nanoparticle (GNP). Besides, interactions of Au-20 nanocluster with modified Tyr/Trp (possessing methyl substituted amide bonds) by quantum chemical calculations demonstrate significant role of amide bonds and the spectral shift, binding energy and alteration in bond distances appear to be higher for modified Tyr-compared to modified Trp. Moreover, close resemblance of frequency shift of modified Tyr/Trp-in presence of Au 20 is observed with respect to the experimental FT-IR study of HHb upon interaction with GNP, suggesting participation of amide bonds in both cases. Furthermore, CD DFT calculations using optimized helical stretch of HHbin presence of Au-20 and experimental CD results of HHb in presence of GNP further indicate participation amide bonds and biocompatibility of GNP. Apparently, the theoretical and experimental interactions are going in good agreement with each other. Overall, the study of interactions of modified Tyr/Trp-as representative models of protein microenvironment and Au-20 nanocluster as prototype of GNP to develop models for exploring protein nanoparticle interactions has been highlighted.

	Microenvironment surrounding Tyrosine (Tyr) / Tryptophan (Trp) and heme appear to characterize the UV-vis absorption spectra of human hemoglobin (HHb). Structural elucidation of HHb using multiple tools, that may contribute to its spectral properties, then indicate greater structural stability of subunit A and the significance of its heme, Tyr42 and Trp14. Mutagenesis of Tyr42 and Trp14 of subunit A to Glycine (Gly) further validate their contribution in determining the structural stability, physicochemical properties, functional properties, and secondary structure of HHb. Accordingly, the use of structural coordinates of Tyr42 and heme as the first cluster and Trp14, Tyr42 and heme as the second cluster to represent the microenvironment of HHb is assessed for the first time. The calculated (DFT) absorption and FTIR properties of both the clusters are in well agreement with experimental absorption and FTIR characteristics of whole HHb suggesting prospective biomedical applications of these clusters.&lt;/p&gt;
