Issue 2/2012: Physical chemistry for all tastes
Issue 2 covers many areas of physical chemistry and chemical physics –with exciting research for all tastes! The Review by J. Neugebauer and C. König gives a quantum chemical description of the absorption properties and excited-state processes in photosynthetic systems. In the Minireviews section, A. J. Ramirez et al. provide an overview of high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy techniques and F. Vollmer and M. Baaske describe the use of optical resonator biosensors in molecular diagnostics and nanoparticle detection (see picture).
The Article by N. S. Malvankar and colleagues shows that the capacitance of an electrode-based device can be enhanced 100-fold using the redox chemistry of c-type cytochromes naturally embedded in an electrically conductive network of living bacteria, and that by L. Zhuang, J. Lu et al. discusses the ionic conductivity of pure water in a charged porous matrix. Finally, in the Communications section, S. M. Chavan and co-workers study metal–organic frameworks as acetylene adsorbents.

- Binary Mixtures of Ionic Liquids: A Joint Approach to Investigate their Properties and Catalytic Ability
Dr. Francesca D'Anna, Dr. Salvatore Marullo, Paola Vitale and Prof. Renato Noto
Article first published online: 9 FEB 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/cphc.201100878
Mixing two ionic liquids (ILs) affects the outcome of reactions such as mononuclear rearrangement of a heterocycle (MRH) and solvatochromism of Nile Red. Greater changes in the ionic lattice are found when an IL mixture contains different anions. In mixture M1 the rate constant kobs(MRH) increases with increasing mole fraction X of the second IL, but shows a bell-like curve for M2 (see picture).
