Atomistic dynamics of elimination and nucleophilic substitution disentangled for the F- + CH3CH2Cl reaction

Eduardo Carrascosa Casado

Chemical reaction dynamics are studied to monitor and understand the concerted motion of several atoms while they rearrange from reactants to products. When the number of atoms involved increases, the number of pathways, transition states and product chann ...

Structure and reactivity of the polarised liquid–liquid interface: what we know and what we do not

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Pekka Eero Peljo, Grégoire Clément Gschwend

Charge transfer phenomena at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) are electrochemical reactions taking place in soft media. Owing to their liquid nature, the ITIES shows a large panel of electrochemical reactions including ele ...

Non-equilibrium kinetics and trajectory thermodynamics of synthetic molecular pumps

Cristian Pezzato

A major goal in the design of synthetic molecular machines is the creation of pumps that can use the input of energy to transport material from a reservoir at low chemical potential to a different reservoir at higher chemical potential, thereby forming and ...

Mechanistic study of the photo‐generation of hydrogen by decamethylruthenocene

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Heron Vrubel, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon, Laurent Alexis Clément Vannay, Sunny Isaïe Maye, Lucie Josette Renée Rivier

Hydrogen evolution by decamethylruthenocene (Cp*2RuII) was studied in detail highlighting that metallocenes are capable of photo‐reducing hydrogen without the need of an additional sensitizer. Electrochemical, gas chromatographic and spectroscopic (UV/vis, ...

Gas-Phase Ozone Reactions with a Structurally Diverse Set of Molecules: Barrier Heights and Reaction Energies Evaluated by Coupled Cluster and Density Functional Theory Calculations

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Peter Rudolf Tentscher, Daniela Trogolo

Reactions with ozone transform organic and inorganic molecules in water treatment systems as well as in atmospheric chemistry, either in the aqueous phase, at gas/particle interfaces, or in the gas phase. Computed thermokinetic data can be used to estimate ...

Organocatalysts in C-N Bond Forming Reactions of Amines with CO2

Martin Hulla

The thesis describes a simple approach for N-formylation of amines with CO2 and hydrosilane reducing agents, the use of organic salts as N-formylation catalysts, their physical properties required for high catalytic activity and their role in the catalytic ...

Mechanical Stress Combined with Alloying May Allow Continuous Control Over Reactivity: Strain Effects on CO Dissociation and Subsequent Methanation Catalysis over Ni(211), Ni3Fe(211), and NiFe(112)

William Curtin, Michael Frederick Francis

Mechanical stress combined with alloying as controlled by CO dissociation is investigated for the control of methanation activity. CO dissociation over strained Ni(211), Ni3Fe(211), and NiFe(112) is investigated. A continuous 0.62 eV range of CO reaction e ...

Room temperature decarboxylative cyanation of carboxylic acids using photoredox catalysis and cyanobenziodoxolones: a divergent mechanism compared to alkynylation

Jérôme Waser, Matthew Wodrich, Franck Le Vaillant

The one-step conversion of aliphatic carboxylic acids to the corresponding nitriles has been accomplished via the merger of visible light mediated photoredox and cyanobenziodoxolones (CBX) reagents. The reaction proceeded in high yields with natural and no ...

Gold-catalyzed direct alkynylation of tryptophan in peptides using TIPS-EBX

Jérôme Waser, Jonathan Brand, Gergely Laszlo Tolnai

The selective functionalization of peptides containing only natural amino acids is important for the modification of biomolecules. In particular, the installation of an alkyne as a useful handle for bioconjugation is highly attractive, but the use of a car ...

Influence of visco-elasticity on the stress development induced by alkali-silica reaction

Karen Scrivener, Cyrille Dunant, Alain Benjamin Giorla

The alkali-silica reaction causes long-term degradation in the microstructure of affected concrete as well as macroscopic expansion. In this paper, a micro-mechanical model based upon an explicit representation of the microstructure has been used to simula ...

Influence of anisotropy on heterogeneous nucleation

Michel Rappaz, Aurèle Mariaux

Heterogeneous nucleation is governed by the interplay of interfacial energies between a substrate, a solid and a liquid. Although the intensity of these energies can strongly change with the orientation of the nucleus for anisotropic media, this parameter ...

Heterogeneous reaction mechanisms of the reduction of nitric oxide on carbon surfaces: a theoretical analysis

Pablo Campomanes Ramos

The mechanism of reaction between NO and two models of carbonaceous materials with active sites was investigated at the UB3LYP/6-31 + G(d) and UM06-2X theory levels. The small model is the anthracene radical and the large one is also a monoradical built wi ...

How reliable are thermodynamic feasibility statements of biochemical pathways?

Urs von Stockar

The driving force for organo- or lithotrophic growth as well as for each step in the metabolic network is the Gibbs reaction energy. For each enzymic step it must be neg. Thermodn. contributes therefore to the in-silico description of living systems. It ma ...
