Acidity and the multiphase chemistry of atmospheric aqueous particles and clouds

The acidity of aqueous atmospheric solutions is a key parameter driving both the partitioning of semi-volatile acidic and basic trace gases and their aqueous-phase chemistry. In addition, the acidity of atmospheric aqueous phases, e.g., deliquesced aerosol ...

The solubility parameters of carbon dioxide and ionic liquids: Are they an enigma?

Vassily Hatzimanikatis

In a recent article entitled "Solubility Parameter of Carbon Dioxide-an Enigma"[1], Marcus reported the literature values for the solubility parameter of liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) at 298 K with discrepancies as large as 200%. An analogous article on ioni ...

Catalyst support and solvent effects during lignin depolymerization and hydrodeoxygenation

Jeremy Luterbacher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel

We studied and compared the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) and depolymerization of aldehyde-stabilized lignin and 4-propylguaiacol (PG), a model lignin monomer. We demonstrated by liquid phase adsorption that PG HDO catalyzed by Ru/C can be achieved in isooctane ...

Water Activity from Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Kirkwood-Buff Theory

Satoshi Takahama, Mária Lbadaoui-Darvas

Water activity and related thermodynamic properties are calculated for several aqueous solutions using equilibrium molecular dynamics in conjunction with the recent extension of the Kirkwood-Buff (KB) theory for closed systems. The general applicability of ...

Characterizing the Effects of a “Switchable Water” Additive on the Aqueous Solubility of Small Molecules

Paul Joseph Dyson, Philip Gregory Jessop, Sarika Burra

“Switchable water” is an aqueous solution containing a water‐soluble amine additive that exhibits CO2‐switchable properties, such as large changes in ionic strength, by forming an ammonium bicarbonate salt. Switchable water has been used to reversibly “sal ...

Water at Interfaces

Gabriele Tocci, Martin Hangaard Hansen, Eric Tyrode

The interfaces of neat water and aqueous solutions play a prominent role in many technological processes and in the environment. Examples of aqueous interfaces are ultrathin water films that cover most hydrophilic surfaces under ambient relative humidities ...

Quantum chemical studies of reactive species in water

Daniela Trogolo

In this thesis, quantum chemical methods have been applied to elucidate the thermodynamics and the kinetics of reactions involving reactive species in water. Due to their high reactivity in water, many transient species are difficult to study by experiment ...

Toward a Materials Genome Approach for Ionic Liquids: Synthesis Guided by Ab Initio Property Maps

Berend Smit

The Materials Genome Approach (MGA) aims to accelerate development of new materials by incorporating computational and data-driven approaches to reduce the cost of identification of optimal structures for a given application. Here, we use the MGA to guide ...

A selective chemiluminescence detection method for reactive oxygen species involved in oxygen reduction reaction on electrocatalytic materials

Christos Comninellis, Pauline Bornoz

An original selective and quantitative detection method for direct access to reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in near-neutral aqueous solutions during transient electrochemical experiments is described herein. Several chemiluminescent probes, which ...

Structure, solution chemistry, antiproliferative actions and protein binding properties of non-conventional platinum(II) compounds with sulfur and phosphorus donors

Angela Casini

Twelve Pt(II) complexes with cis-PtP2S2 pharmacophores (where P-2 refers to two monodentate or one bidentate phosphane ligand and S-2 is a dithiolato ligand) were prepared, characterized and evaluated as potential antiproliferative agents. The various comp ...

Comparative dissolution kinetics of biogenic and chemogenic uraninite under oxidizing conditions in the presence of carbonate

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Harish Veeramani, Jonathan Sharp

The long-term stability of biogenic uraninite with respect to oxidative dissolution is pivotal to the success of in situ bioreduction strategies for the subsurface remediation of uranium legacies. Batch and flow-through dissolution experiments were conduct ...

Perspective for Extended Group-Contribution Methods for the Prediction of Activity Coefficients Accounting for Sterical Effects. Linking UNIFAC and the Group Vector Space Method

Martin Grasemann

Group contribution methods for the calculation of an activity coefficient such as UNIFAC (universal factorial activity coefficient) currently do not take into account sterical effects. Consequently one of the major deficiencies of such methods is their ina ...

Pd Nanoparticles in a Supported Ionic Liquid Phase: Highly Stable Catalysts for Selective Acetylene Hydrogenation under Continuous-Flow Conditions

Paul Joseph Dyson, Lioubov Kiwi, Gabor Laurenczy, Marina Ruta

Monodispersed Pd nanoparticles of 5 and 10 nm were obtained via reduction of Pd(acac)2 dissolved in ionic liquid (IL), [bmim][PF6], or [bmimOH][TF2N], supported on carbon nanofibers (CNF) anchored to sintered metal fibers (SMF). Using [bmimOH][TF2N], the m ...
