Specific ion effects, representative of near-universal Hofmeister phenomena, are illustrated in three different systems. These are the formation of supramolecular assemblies from cyclodextrins, the optical rotation of L-serine, and the growth rate of two kinds of microorganisms (Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The strong specific ion effects can be correlated with the anion polarizabilities and related physico-chemical parameters. The results show the relevance of dispersion (non-electrostatic) forces in these phenomena. (c) 2006 Published by Elsevier B.V.
