Abstract
Supramolecular structures in solution are probed using Far-Zone Resonant Energy Transfer (FZRET) in an aqueous potassium acetate microjet. This advanced X-ray spectroscopic technique relies on the resonant energy transfer between donor atoms, i.e. core-ionised potassium ions, and acceptor atoms a few nm away. These experiments reveal an inhomogeneous distribution of ions in water, and are consistent with the presence of nm-sized ionic clusters at 4.1 M concentration.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Science is a journal that encompasses various disciplines within the chemical sciences. Its scope includes publishing ground-breaking research with significant implications for its respective field, as well as appealing to a wider audience in related areas. To be considered for publication, articles must showcase innovative and original advances in their field of study and be presented in a manner that is understandable to scientists from diverse backgrounds. However, the journal generally does not publish highly specialized research.
