The deviations from Stokes-Einstein hydrodynamics of small solutes are more pronounced in ionic liquids than in conventional solvents (J. Phys. Chem. B 2013 117 (39), 11697). Small neutral solutes diffuse much faster than expected, whereas small charged solutes diffuse much slower. This article attempts to establish a link between the local friction experienced by tracer solutes and the polar/apolar structure of ionic liquids. We find that small neutral solutes probe locally "stiff" (mostly charged, high electrostriction) regions and locally "soft" (mostly apolar, low electrostriction) regions. These regions of high and low friction are associated with cage and jump regimes. Enhanced neutral tracer mobility in the low friction regions associated with the cationic apolar component has an important bearing on the large positive deviations from Stokes-Einstein behavior. In contrast, diminished charged tracer mobility involves long caging dynamics separated by jump events often triggered by the loss and recovery of counterions.

Recently, we have investigated the sensitivity of an mEGFP-linker-mScarlet-I construct (GE2.3) in response to macromolecular crowding using ensemble time-resolved two-photon (2P) fluorescence measurements [Mersch , 2024, (5), 3927-3940] as a point of reference for developing a single-molecule approach for Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). Here, we investigate the fluorescence fluctuations, FRET, molecular brightness, and translational diffusion of GE2.

The rotational dynamics of 3-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-7-(diethylamino)-2 H-chromen-2-one (3BT7D2H-one) in two non-polar solvents acetone and ethyl acetate have been studied with varying temperatures. The rotational dynamics follow follows the Stoke's-Einstein-Debye (SED) model in ethyl acetate solvent but shows deviation in acetone solvent when temperature is increased. Quasi-hydrodynamic models Gierer and Wirtz (GW) model and Dote-Kivelson Schwartz (DKS) is studied in a qualitatively way.

Molecular isomerization kinetics in liquid solvent depends on a complex interplay between the solvent friction acting on the molecule, internal dissipation effects (also known as internal friction), the viscosity of the solvent, and the dihedral free energy profile. Due to the absence of accurate techniques to directly evaluate isomerization friction, it has not been possible to explore these relationships in full. By combining extensive molecular dynamics simulations with friction memory-kernel extraction techniques we consider a variety of small, isomerising molecules under a range of different viscogenic conditions and directly evaluate the viscosity dependence of the friction acting on a rotating dihedral.

Type-V deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a newly emerging unique class of solvents obtained by physical mixing and heating of non-ionic components. These solvents show deviation from the thermodynamic ideality. Compared to type-I to IV DESs, type-V DESs are less explored and their physical chemistry is in its nascent stage.

Deviations between macrorheological and particle-based microrheological measurements are often considered to be a nuisance and neglected. We study aqueous poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) hydrogels for varying PEO concentrations and chain lengths that contain microscopic tracer particles and show that these deviations reveal the nanoscopic viscoelastic properties of the particle-hydrogel interface. Based on the transient Stokes equation, we first demonstrate that the deviations are not due to finite particle radius, compressibility, or surface-slip effects.
