The structure and properties of water soluble dendrimers, such as 46, is, in itself, a very promising area of research due to their similarity with natural micellar systems. As can be seen from the two-dimensional representation of 46 the structure contains a hydrophobic inner core surrounded by a hydrophilic layer of carboxylate groups (Fig. 12). However these dendritic micelles differ from traditional micelles in that they are static, covalently bound structures instead of dynamic associations of individual molecules. A number of studies have exploited this unique feature of dendritic micelles in the design of novel recyclable solubilization and extraction systems that may find great application in the recovery of organic materials from aqueous solutions [84,86-88]. These studies have also shown that dendritic micelles can solubilize hydrophobic molecules in aqueous solution to the same, if not greater, extent than traditional SDS micelles. The advantages of these dendritic micelles are that they do not suffer from a critical micelle concentration and therefore display solvation ability at nanomolar...

The metal-solution interface as the locus of the deposition processes. This interface has two components a metal and an aqueous ionic solution. To understand this interface, it is necessary to have a basic knowledge of the structure and electronic properties of metals, the molecular structure of water, and the structure and properties of ionic solutions. The structure and electronic properties of metals are the subject matter of solid-state physics. The structure and properties of water and ionic solutions are (mainly) subjects related to chemical physics (and physical chemistry). Thus, to study and understand the structure of the metal-solution interface, it is necessary to have some knowledge of solid-state physics as well as of chemical physics. Relevant presentations of these subjects are given in Chapters 2 and 3. 

Sodium chloride dissolves more than 25 times better in water than in methanol. Explain this difference, referring to the structure and properties of water, methanol, and sodium chloride. 

Recently there have been extensive studies on the structure and property of water. In December, 2004, upon assessing the major achievements of the past twelve months, Science declared that the study of water as one of the Breakthroughs of the Year. (Specifically, it was listed as No. 8.)...
