β¦ Synopsis
The density distribution of an iodide ion in the vicinity of a water/platinum interface has been calculated by classical molecular dynamics simulations based on painvise additive interaction potentials. The approach of the iodide ion to the surface is strondy sterically hindered by the layer of adsorbed water molecules. Based upon the interaction potentials used in the present study, this steric effect is overcompensated by the direct ion-surface interaction, leading to a significant free energy gain upon contact adsorption. This result is consistent with recent scanning tunneling microscopy investigations of the iodine adsorption on platinum surfaces from aqueous solution.

## Abstract A new method is presented to identify the truly interfacial molecules at fluid/fluid interfaces seen at molecular resolution, a situation that regularly occurs in computer simulations. In the new method, the surface is scanned by moving a probe sphere of a given radius along a large set
A novel electrochemical approach was developed for the kinetic study of the formation of heteropolyanions. The method (dual pulse amperometry, DPA) is based on the detections of currents due to the transfers of polyanions at the nitrobenzene-water interface. In this study, DPA was applied to the kin
