The Bonizzoni and Street groups at UA received joint funding from the National Science Foundation on their proposal to use spontaneous heterogeneity in metal nanoparticle populations grown in the presence of various anionic analytes to qualitative detection of common organic pollutants via rapid and inexpensive electrochemical detection (NSF Award #2404135). This exploratory “high risk –…Continue Reading New NSF funding for collaborative nanoparticle analytical project
Published: A mass spectrometric study of CD complexes in the gas phase
We reported on new insights into cyclodextrins as supramolecular encapsulating agents by elucidating the structure and energetics of the complexes they form with phenolic acids. We carried out gas-phase studies monitored through mass spectrometry that allowed us to work in solvent-free conditions. We determined the relative binding affinities associated with these processes, as well as…Continue Reading Published: A mass spectrometric study of CD complexes in the gas phase
