Solvents: Not only versatile media for chemical reactions, but important co-actors by polarity in various fields in chemistry
We invite you to the lecture of Prof. Heinz Langhals from the University of Munich, which will take place on Thursday, November 16, between 8:50 and 9:35 in room P16 (1.13).
The lecture starts with elementary topics so that students can follow and gives an overview over an important field slightly off the main stream and reports recent results of international research.
In a basic approach to intermolecular interactions, the molar concentration of substances was used for various effects. These effects were proportional to the concentration changes at high dilution and become smaller with increasing density. The integration resulted in a two-parameter equation useful for studying various effects such as the CO2 state, indicating changes in the gaseous and liquid structure. Applying the equation to the concept of solvent polarity led to further insights into solvent effects and more generally into effects in condensed phases. Finally, long-range interactions of electronically excited fluorescent dyes molecules larger than 100 nm were indicated and characterised.
