Stepwise Hydration of a flexible organic molecule reveals how water solvation scaffolds deforms the substrate structure, generally through different structural pathways. In this experiment we observed solvation with up to five water molecules for 4-hydroxy-2-butanone, using broadband microwave spectroscopy. Solvation is accompanied by multiple isomerization, as two isomers were rotationally detected for each cluster.

柔性分子中溶剂化的适应性响应：4-羟基-2-丁酮的寡水合物


柔性有机分子的逐步水合揭示了水溶剂化支架如何使基底结构变形，通常通过不同的结构途径。在本实验中，我们使用宽带微波光谱观察了多达 5 个水分子对 4-羟基-2-丁酮的溶剂化作用。溶剂化伴随着多重异构化，因为每个簇旋转检测到两种异构体。
