Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Infrared (C - N stretch) and n.m.r (C, N) methods have been used to probe the solvation of MeCN molecules and CN ions in water, methanol and a range of mixed protic-aprotic media. For MeCN, the i.r. results are unusual in that protic solvents induce a high-frequency shift in ν(CN), whereas dipolar aprotic solvents give a low-frequency shift. The interpretation given of this is that both σ- and π-electron interactions play an important role in hydrogen-bond formation, whereas π interactions are dominant for dipolar solvents such as MeSO. The C(CN) shifts are too small to give useful information, but the N shifts correlate well with the i.r. results. It is argued that in methanolic solution MeCN forms only one hydrogen bond and that ca. 50% of the molecules are not hydrogen bonded. In water, all MeCN molecules are hydrogen bonded. The results do not distinguish between mono- and di-bonding, but other evidence suggests that di-bonding is likely to occur. Similar experiments on CN ions show again that protic solvents induce a high-frequency shift. Mixed-solvent studies suggest that at least four methanol or water molecules are normally hydrogen bonded to the ions; this is in accord with other spectroscopic results on the same solvents. The experiments have been complemented by a series of molecular dynamics simulations on dilute solutions of MeCN and CN in water and methanol. The predicted solvation numbers from the simulations are in good agreement with those derived from the experimental data, particularly for MeCN. There are some discrepancies for CN, but these may in part be attributable to difficulties involved in finding an acceptable definition of solvation number in cases where this quantity is large.
