Molecular dynamics study of solvation of Coumarin-314 at the water/air interface
Molecular dynamics experiments have been carried out to study equilibrium and dynamical aspects of orientational correlations and solvation of Coumarin-314 lying at the aqueous/air interface. Stable interfacial solvation states for the probe are characterized by an orientation of its molecular plane...
