On the origin of the extremely different solubilities of polyethers in water

Polyethers are ubiquitous in our daily lives, and display counterintuitive solubilities in water. Here the authors show, by ultrafast spectroscopies and computations, that solubility does not depend on steric factors but on the interaction of water molecules with the polymer’s charge distribution
