Unexpected inverse correlations and cooperativity in ion-pair phase transfer
Nitesh Kumar, Aurora E. Clark
Abstract
, however the rate of transport is enhanced. Within the highly dynamic interfacial environment, we hypothesize that this unique cooperative effect may be due to perturbed surface organization that either decreases the energy of formation of transporting protrusion motifs or makes it easier for these self-assembled species to disengage from the surface.
