Probing polarity structure–function relationships in amine–water mixtures
This study investigates the relationships between chemical structure, polarity, and miscibility in solvent-water systems to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the thermoresponsive hydrophilicity of amines. By integrating complementary analyses of Kamlet-Taft parameters and relative permittivity, we reveal that hydrogen bonding and nanoscale ordering, <i>i.e.</i>, molecular-level and mean-field, respectively, underlie amine-water interactions, which, in turn, influence the thermomorphic hydrophilicity.
