abstract = {Thermodiffusion, also called the Ludwig-Soret effect, has
gained popularity in recent years as an analytical approach
(Microscale Thermophoresis (MST)) to monitor binding
reactions in biological molecules that are relevant in
pharmaceutical applications. The success of this technique
relies on the superb sensitivity of thermodiffusion to
changes in the hydration layer around a solute. While for
non-polar systems the « heat of transfer » concept has
been successfully applied, the mechanism in aqueous systems
is more complicated due to charge effects and strong
specific cross interactions. On the other hand a detailed
understanding of aqueous systems would be valuable due to
important applications in biotechnology. To get a better
comprehension of the underlying processes we systematically
investigated various small molecules and charged colloids by
a holographic grating method called infrared Thermal
Diffusion Forced Rayleigh Scattering (IR-TDFRS). We
elucidate the often found typical temperature dependence of
the Soret coefficient of solute molecules in water. From a
literature survey and measurements of hydrogen bond formers
like amides in water we claim that this simple empirical
approach to describe the temperature dependence breaks down
at higher solute concentrations, when interactions between
different solute molecules start to play a role.
Additionally the concept also requires a hydrogen bond
network without micro-heterogeneities or cage structures.
Performing temperature and concentration dependent
measurements, we observe a clear correlation of the
temperature and concentration dependence of the Soret
coefficient with the hydrophilicity, which can be
quantitatively described by the logarithm of the
1-octanol/water partition coefficient P, which is a measure
for the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity balance of a solute.
This coefficient is often used to model the transport of a
compound in the environment or to screen for potential
pharmaceutical compounds. The clear correlation between log
P and the temperature sensitivity of the Soret coefficient
open a route for a more sophisticated hydrophilicity scale.},
