Besides the common structural analysis, e.g., radial distribution functions and three dimensional occupancy plots, a more sophisticated orientational analysis was performed. The angular correlation functions g(00)110(r) and g(00)101(r) are the first distance dependent coefficients of the pairwise orientational distribution function g(rij,Omega1,Omega2,Omega12). These functions help to interpret the three dimensional plot and reveal interesting insights into the local structure of the analyzed ionic liquids. Furthermore, the collective network of ionic liquids can be characterized by the Kirkwood factor Gkappa(r) [J. Chem. Phys. 7, 911 (1939)]. The short-range behavior (r<10 A) of this factor may be suitable to predict the water miscibility of the ionic liquid. The long-range limit of Gkinfinity is below 1 which demonstrates the strongly coupled nature of the ionic liquid networks. In addition, this factor relates the orientational structure and the dielectric properties of the ionic liquids. The static dielectric constant epsilon(omega=0) for the simulated system is 8.9-9.5. Since in ionic liquids the very same molecule contributes to the total dipole moment as well as carries a net charge, a small, but significant contribution of the cross term between the total dipole moment and the electric current to epsilon(omega=0) is observed.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2625dfdc5645067ee3766255ec94e9087/kaigrass}, keywords = {Ionic Chemical; Molecular; Capacitance; Computer Structure-Activity Simulation; Electric Models, Statistics; Conformation; Relationship Electrostatics; Liquids; Molecular} } @article{cottet00a, title = {From small charged molecules to oligomers: a semiempirical approach to the modeling of actual mobility in free solution.}, author = {H.

Experimentally, it is well known, however, that the ionic mobility of a small multicharged molecule does not depend linearly on its nominal charge in a wide range. This behavior can be accounted for by a condensation of the charge or a modification of the friction coefficient with the charge. This paper presents a semiempirical modeling of the actual mobility based on the assumption of additivity of frictional contributions pertaining to the uncharged molecular backbone and to each charged or uncharged moiety. Condensation of the charge was not considered. The model first appeared to be suitable for multicharged analytes having a characteristic dimension smaller than the Debye length, such as benzene polycarboxylic acids and polysulfated disaccharides. This approach was then adapted to account for the actual mobilities of singly and evenly charged oligomers (N-mers) having a dimension smaller than or similar to the Debye length. Rather good experimental agreement was obtained for polyalanines and polyglycines (N < or = 6), fatty acid homologs, fully sulfonated polystyrene oligomers (N < or = 13), and polycytidines (N < or = 10). Especially the influence of the polymerization degree on the mobility of oligomers having identical charge densities was clarified. It is also shown that the electrophoretic contribution to the overall friction coefficient increases linearly with the nominal charge but hardly depends on the chemical nature of the charged moieties. This model should be of interest to evaluate the role of various physicochemical phenomena (hydrodynamic and electrophoretic frictions, hydrodynamic coupling, charge condensation) involved in the migration of charged oligomers.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/29a914c3e056207e3ad47087c9689e27c/kaigrass}, keywords = {Chondroitin Molecular; Polystyrenes; Fatty Peptides; Acids; Models, Benzene; Electrophoresis, Sulfates; Solutions Polymers; Capillary;} }
