Image charge effects under metal and dielectric boundary conditions.

Phys Rev E

October 2024

Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91125, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • The image charge effect (IC) represents a key challenge in understanding electrostatics, particularly in multi-ion systems like electrolytes and ionic liquids, where theoretical treatment at the continuum level is still unresolved.
  • This study utilizes a renormalized Gaussian-fluctuation theory to explore and compare IC effects in scenarios with metal and dielectric boundary conditions, focusing on a simple 1:1 symmetric electrolyte model.
  • Findings reveal that the structure of the double-layer, capacitance, and interaction forces between like-charged plates are significantly influenced by boundary types, with predictions of like-charge attraction for both metal and dielectric conditions, while also discussing the implications of a saturated solvent layer on metal surfaces.

Where is the Macrocycle? Comment on "Simultaneous Organic and Inorganic Host-Guest Chemistry within Pillararene-Protein Cage Frameworks.".

Chemistry

School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, University of Galway, University Road, Galway, H91 TK33, Ireland.

Kostiainen and co-workers claim to have prepared crystals of ferritin by "electrostatically bridging" the protein with a cationic pillar[5]arene. Questions remain regarding the contribution of the pillar[5]arene to protein assembly and the putative role as a molecular glue.
