The molecular structure of water is dynamic, with intermolecular hydrogen (H) bond interactions being modified by both electronic charge transfer and nuclear quantum effects (NQEs). Electronic NQEs potentially change under acidic or basic conditions, but such details have not been measured. In this work, we developed correlated vibrational spectroscopy, a symmetry-based method that separates interacting from noninteracting molecules in self- cross-correlation spectra, giving access to previously inaccessible information. We found hydroxide (OH − ) donated ~8% more negative the H network water, hydronium (H 3 O + accepted ~4% less water. Deuterium oxide (D 2 O) had ~9% bonds compared O), solutions displayed dominant than ones.

The development of efficient electrocatalysts for the neutral nitrate reduction reaction (NO3–RR) toward ammonia (NH3) is essential to address environmental issues caused by NO3– but remains considerably challenging owing sluggish kinetics NO3–RR in media. Herein, we report subnanometric heteroclusters with strongly coupled nickel–phosphorus (Ni–P) dual-active sites as boost NO3–RR. Experimental and theoretical results reveal that feature Ni–P promotes electron transfer from Ni P, generating Niδ+–Pδ− active pairs, which Niδ+ species are highly Pδ− tunes interfacial water hydrogen bonding network promote dissociation step accelerate proton during Consequently, NO3–RR, exhibit a large NH3 yield rate 0.61 mmol h–1 cm–2 at −0.8 V versus reversible electrode, 2.8- 3.3-fold larger than those on nanoparticles clusters, respectively, generated exists NH4+ electrolytes. This study offers an approach boosting electrocatalytic reactions multiple intermediates designing sites.

Short hydrogen bonds (SHBs), characterized by donor–acceptor heteroatom separations below 2.7 Å, are prevalent in condensed-phase systems. Recently, we identified SHBs nonaqueous binary mixtures of acetic acid and 1-methylimidazole (MIm), where electronic nuclear quantum effects facilitate extensive proton delocalization. In this work, explore the conditions favoring SHB formation acid–base propose that difference pKa values between base, measured a nonaqueous, aprotic solvent like DMSO, is key determinant. Using MIm as model perform structure calculations to systematically analyze matching across 97 acid-MIm pairs DMSO solutions. Through combination first-principles simulations infrared spectroscopy, confirm delocalization protons benzoic salicylic mixtures. Our results demonstrate can significantly alter behavior systems, transforming interactions from conventional transfer mechanical This work establishes valuable alternative water for assessing highlights importance bond networks modulating these conditions. By elucidating impact effects, our provides insights designing organic leverage advanced material applications.
