This presentation will highlight some of our newest results.  We explore proton transfer reactions occurring in the interiors of ionic and nonionic reverse micelles. Here we observe interesting trends demonstrating the role of the confined environment on the reactions.  We have also utilized multinuclear NMR spectroscopies to investigate the nature of the water pool in reverse micelles. Using polyoxovanadates, we can gauge the acidity of the micelle interior.  We also can learn about the structure of ionic liquids sequestered therein.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information contact \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:christine.payne@chemistry.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EProf. Christine Payne\u003C\/a\u003E (404-385-3125).\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Prof. Nancy Levinger, Colorado State University\n\nChemistry in confinement: New insights from reverse micelle explorations\n\nPhysical Chemistry Divisional Seminar","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Prof. Nancy Levinger, Colorado State University"}],"uid":"27275","created_gmt":"2009-05-06 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:57:11","author":"Shirley Tomes","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2009-11-10T14:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2009-11-10T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2009-11-10T15:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2009-11-10 19:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2009-11-10 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2009-11-10 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/129.82.76.41:591\/chemdept2002\/FMPro?-db=faculty-staff2002.fp5\u0026-format=faculty-data.html\u0026-max=2147483647\u0026-op=eq\u0026-recid=20\u0026-sortfield=lastname\u0026category=faculty","title":"Prof. Nancy Levinger, Colorado State University"}],"groups":[{"id":"85951","name":"School of Chemistry and Biochemistry"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"1041","name":"dna"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1791","name":"Student sponsored"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EShirley Tomes\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChemistry \u0026amp; Biochemistry\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=st81\u0022\u003EContact Shirley Tomes\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-894-0591\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
