The dehydration of alcohols is involved in many organic conversions but has to overcome high free-energy barriers in water. Here we demonstrate that hydronium ions confined in the nanopores of zeolite ...

All acidic aqueous solutions contain protonated water, known commonly as the hydronium ion (H 3 O +). Brønsted acids release one or more of their protons (hydrogen ions), which combine with water ...

It is well known that protonated water forms when an acid dissolves in water, with the characteristic of hydronium ion or hydrated proton (H 3 O+). To date, the existence of the hydrated proton has ...

A new study provides fresh insight into traditional acid-base chemistry by revealing that the mutual neutralization of isolated hydronium (H 3 O⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) ions is driven by electron ...
