<p>Aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) can form when mixing water with two compounds such as polymers, ionic-liquids or simple salts. While this phenomenon has been known for decades and found applications in various fields such as biology, recycling or even more recently electrochemistry, the physics behind the formation of ABSs remains ill-understood. It was recently demonstrated that ABSs can be composed of two salts sharing the same cation (Li<sup>+</sup>) but different anions (sulfonamide and halide). Interestingly, their formation could not be explained by the position of the anions within the chaotropic/kosmotropic series and was rather proposed to originate from an anion size mismatch, albeit the size for these anions was never measured yet owing to the lack of a proper experimental methodology. Here, we combine experimental techniques and molecular simulations to assess the specific effects (size, shape, hydrophobic/hydrophilic character) of a series of anions and correlate them with the formation of ABSs. We demonstrate that while the anion size mismatch is a prerequisite for the formation of Li-salts based ABSs, their shape can also play an important role, providing general guidelines for forming new ABSs with potential future applications. </p>

Abstract. Legally irrelevant information like facial features is used to form judgments about rape cases. Using a reverse-correlation technique, it is possible to visualize criminal stereotypes and test whether these representations influence judgments. In the first step, images of the stereotypical faces of a rapist, a thief, and a lifesaver were generated. These images showed a clear distinction between the lifesaver and the two criminal representations, but the criminal representations were rather similar. In the next step, the images were presented together with rape scenarios, and participants (N = 153) indicated the defendant’s level of liability. Participants with high rape myth acceptance scores attributed a lower level of liability to a defendant who resembled a stereotypical lifesaver. However, no specific effects of the image of the stereotypical rapist compared to the stereotypical thief were found. We discuss the findings with respect to the influence of visual stereotypes on legal judgments and the nature of these mental representations.
