The primary H/D kinetic isotope effect on the intramolecular proton transfer in malonaldehyde is determined from quantum instanton path integral Monte Carlo simulations on a fully dimensional and validated potential energy surface for temperatures between ...
The electron self-exchange reaction CrCl(OH2)5(2+) + Cr(OH2)6(2+) -> Cr(OH2)(6)(2+) + CrCl(OH2)(5)(2+), proceeding via the inner-sphere pathway, was investigated with quantum-chemical methods. Geometry and vibrational frequencies of the precursor/successor ...
The reactions of dolomite with portlandite have been studied at well-spaced temperatures between 20 degrees C and 85 degrees C using XRD Rietveld, TG and SEM methods. The results show quantitatively the faster rates of reaction at higher temperature. Isoth ...
The Feynman path integral approach for computing equilibrium isotope effects and isotope fractionation corrects the approximations made in standard methods, although at significantly increased computational cost. We describe an accelerated path integral ap ...
A thiol-alkynylation procedure utilizing the hypervalent iodine alkyne transfer reagent TIPS-ethynyl-benziodoxolone has been developed. This scalable reaction proceeds in five minutes at room temperature in an open flask using commercially available reagen ...
The identification of kinetic models is an important step for the monitoring, control and optimization of industrial processes. This is particularly the case for highly competitive business sectors such as chemical and pharmaceutical industries, where the ...
An imaginary-time nonuniform mesh method for diagonalizing multidimensional quantum Hamiltonians is proposed and used to find the first 50 eigenstates and energies of up to D=5 strongly interacting spinless quantum Lennard-Jones particles trapped in a one- ...
Density functional calculations applying periodic boundary conditions have been performed to investigate adsorption and cracking of light alkanes (C 3-C 6) on zeolite H-ZSM-5. Intrinsic energy barriers were obtained from single-point calculations by applyi ...
Although neural substrates of mammalian female mating behavior have been described [1, 2], the association between complex courtship activity and specific underlying mechanisms remains elusive [3]. We have isolated a mouse line that unexpectedly shows alte ...
Using extensive classical and quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the ground-state phase diagram of the fully frustrated transverse field Ising model on the square lattice. We show that pure columnar order develops in the low-field phase above ...
