Using collective knowledge to assign oxidation states of metal cations in metal-organic frameworks

Berend Smit, Seyedmohamad Moosavi, Daniele Ongari, Kevin Maik Jablonka

Knowledge of the oxidation state of metal centres in compounds and materials helps in the understanding of their chemical bonding and properties. Chemists have developed theories to predict oxidation states based on electron-counting rules, but these can f ...

Core-Valence Attosecond Transient Absorption Spectroscopy of Polyatomic Molecules

Jiri Vanicek, Nikolay Golubev

Tracing ultrafast processes induced by interaction of light with matter is often very challenging. In molecular systems, the initially created electronic coherence becomes damped by the slow nuclear rearrangement on a femtosecond timescale which makes real ...

Band alignment at beta-Ga2O3/III-N (III = Al, Ga) interfaces through hybrid functional calculations

Alfredo Pasquarello, Sai Lyu

The band alignment and the chemical bonding at the beta -Ga2O3/AlN and beta -Ga2O3/GaN interfaces are studied through hybrid functional calculations. We construct realistic slab models with III-O (III = Al, Ga) bonds dominating the chemical bonding at both ...

Local structural investigation of hafnia-zirconia polymorphs in powders and thin films by X-ray absorption spectroscopy

Reinis Ignatans

Despite increasing attention for the recently found ferro- and antiferroelectric properties, the polymorphism in hafnia- and zirconia-based thin films is still not sufficiently understood. In the present work, we show that it is important to have a good qu ...

Molecular mechanism of NDMA formation from N,N-dimethylsulfamide during ozonation: Quantum chemical insights into a bromide-catalyzed pathway

Urs von Gunten, Jeremy Samuel Arey, Daniela Trogolo, Michèle Bernadette Heeb, Brijesh Kumar Mishra

During ozonation of drinking water, the fungicide metabolite NN-dimethyIsulfamide (DMS) can be transformed into a highly toxic product, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). We used quantum chemical computations and stopped-flow experiments to evaluate a chemical ...
