In depth analysis of heterogeneous catalysts for the chemoenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of beta-amino esters

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Cédric Karel J Van Goethem

The chemoenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of beta-amino esters is established after detailed evaluation of metal-based heterogeneous catalysts for racemization and enzyme catalysts for kinetic resolution. Several heterogeneous palladium catalysts prove ...

Evaluation of Photocatalysts for Water Splitting through Combined Analysis of Surface Coverage and Energy-Level Alignment

Alfredo Pasquarello, Francesco Ambrosio, Zhendong Guo

To examine whether suitable conditions occur for the water splitting reaction at their interfaces with liquid water, we determine the pH-dependent surface coverage for a series of semiconductors, including GaAs, GaP, GaN, CdS, ZnO, SnO2, and rutile and ana ...

Detailed Analysis of Estimated pH, Activity Coefficients, and Ion Concentrations between the Three Aerosol Thermodynamic Models

Athanasios Nenes, Yan Feng

In this work, we utilize a rich set of simulated and ground-based observational data in Tianjin, China to examine and compare the differences in aerosol acidity and composition predicted by three popular thermodynamic equilibrium models: ISORROPIA II, the ...

Predicting Partitioning and Diffusion Properties of Nonpolar Chemicals in Biotic Media and Passive Sampler Phases by GC x GC

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Deedar Nabi

The chemical parameters needed to explain and predict bioavailability, biodynamics, and baseline toxicity are not readily available for most nonpolar chemicals detected in the environment. Here, we demonstrate that comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromat ...

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 ...

Biomass Modelling: estimating thermodynamic properties from the elemental composition

François Maréchal, Emanuela Peduzzi, Guillaume Boissonnet

In the context of modelling biomass conversion processes, the accurate representation of biomass, which is a complex and highly variable material, is of crucial importance. This study provides a rather simple and flexible way to represent biomass, especial ...

Molecular thermodynamics of metabolism: quantum thermochemical calculations for key metabolites

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Meriç Ataman, Noushin Hadadi

The present work is the first of a series of papers aiming at a coherent and unified development of the thermodynamics of metabolism and the rationalization of feasibility analysis of metabolic pathways. The focus in this part is on high-level quantum chem ...

Substituent effects on the relative rates and free energies of ortho-lithiation reactions: families of fluorobenzenes as the substrates

2-, 3- and 4-substituted fluorobenzenes and 5-substituted 1,3-difluorobenzenes were metalated with sec-butyllithium (LIS) and with lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide (LiTMP) under irreversible conditions in order to determine the rates of reaction relat ...

Capture and Release of CO2 in Monoethanolamine Aqueous Solutions: New Insights from First-Principles Reaction Dynamics

Wanda Andreoni, Changru Ma, Fabio Pietrucci

Aqueous,monoethanolamine (MEA) solution is commonly used for post-combustion carbon capture via chemical absorption. Extensive research has been carried out to characterize both uptake and release of carbon dioxide (CO2), with the aim of improving process ...

Explicit solvent simulations of the aqueous oxidation potential and reorganization energy for neutral molecules: Gas phase, linear solvent response, and non-linear response contributions

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Peter Rudolf Tentscher, Marianne Seijo, Jennifer Guerard

First principles simulations were used to predict aqueous one-electron oxidation potentials (E-ox) and associated half-cell reorganization energies (lambda(aq)) for aniline, phenol, methoxybenzene, imidazole, and dimethylsulfide. We employed quantum mechan ...
