Abstract

Micelles are interesting self-organized structures with multiple applications in chemistry and related with the formation of biological structures. Their final shape depends on a subtle equilibrium between several weak forces: namely, van der Waals and hydrogen bond interactions. In order to address the influence of each type of interaction, the aggregation of cyclohexanol molecules was studied in the gas phase. The geometry of the clusters formed with sizes from 2 to 6 cyclohexanol molecules was elucidated by an IR double resonance technique that combines fs and ns lasers. Comparison of the structures obtained with those from previous studies demonstrates that hydrogen bond plays a central role in defining the general shape, but that its contribution to the overall stabilization energy may be lower than expected in systems with multiple C–H⋯π interactions.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
