This Virtual Issue on Chemistry and Water complements the theme of the Fall 2019 ACS National Meeting and Exposition in San Diego, CA. Water is the most common liquid on the planet and is essential to life. Despite water’s importance to us, its networked hydrogen-bonding structure gives it properties that are peculiar compared with most other liquids, and as a result, we are still pushing toward a molecular understanding of this most important of liquids.
The articles in this Virtual Issue report on some of the latest physical chemistry research on the properties and nature of liquid water. These papers span the gamut from spectroscopic studies of water motions around solutes or near interfaces to ab initio and other types of simulations aimed at uncovering a truly molecular understanding of water’s properties. Since water behaves differently near proteins, lipids, surfactants and even bare electrons, much of the 18 papers in this Virtual Issue focus on the behavior of water in these kinds of specific environments as well as in the neat fluid.
