Examining the properties of a water channel in an organic matrix - TOSCA

Abstract: The objectives are to study the interaction of water molecules held in a channel in an organic matrix. We have structurally characterised a water tetramethylpiperididine complex in which the water molecules align as essentially micro tubes of water throughout the crystal lattice. We are interested in the detailed structure of this water matrix especially the hydrogen bonding throughout the structure. The reason for the interest is by analogy to nature where water channels are common place. The planned research is to continue to modify the piperidene to allow the formation of water channels in variety of matrixes such as silicates, carbonates, phosphates and memebranes where for example there may be an analogy with capilliaries in bone. INS spectroscopy uniquely allows access to the translational and librational modes of the water..
