Atmospheric pressure microwave assisted heterogeneous catalytic reactions.

The purpose of the study was to investigate microwave selective heating phenomena and their impact on heterogeneous chemical reactions. We also present a tool which will help microwave chemists to answer to such questions as "My reaction yields 90% after 7 days at reflux; is it possible to obtain the same yield after a few minutes under microwaves?" and to have an approximation of their reactio...

Catalytic antibodies: the rerouting of chemical reactions.

The research outlined above resulted from a collaborative effort with Professor K. Brocklehurst at Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London. I thank Professor Brocklehurst, Dr. Caroline S. Jackson, Dr. Mark Searcey, and other members of our research groups involved in the above investigations. I also thank Therapeutic Antibodies Inc. and the Wellcome Trust for financial support. I090

Prediction of Rate Constants for Catalytic Reactions with Chemical Accuracy.

Ex machina: A computational method for predicting rate constants for reactions within microporous zeolite catalysts with chemical accuracy has recently been reported. A key feature of this method is a stepwise QM/MM approach that allows accuracy to be achieved while using realistic models with accessible computer resources.
