Ab initio molecular dynamics study of a monomolecular water layer on octahedral and tetrahedral kaolinite surfaces
Article Abstract:
The structure and dynamics of a monomolecular water layer on the octahedral and tetrahedral surfaces of the kaolinite layer have been investigated using short-time ab initio molecular dynamics. It is shown that the octahedral and tetrahedral surfaces of the kaolinite layer are of different chemical nature and can be considered as hydrophilic and hydrophobic, respectively.

Evidence for the existence of ternery complexes of iron, cyclodextrin, and hydrophobic guests in aqueous solution
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to analyze the formation of pollutant/carboxymethyl-beta-cyclodextrin (CMCD)/Fe(super 2+) ternery complex in aqueous solution. The result reveals that the enhanced degradation of pollutant with addition of CMCD is due to the closer location of degradation catalyst to the target molecules.
