Theoretical study on ionization process in aqueous solution

Theoretical study on ionization process in aqueous solution.

Ionization potential (ionization energy) is a fundamental quantity characterizing electronic structure of a molecule. It is known that the energy in solution phase is significantly different from that in the gas phase. In this report, vertical and adiabatic ionization processes in aqueous solution are studied based on a hybrid method of quantum chemistry and statistical mechanics called referen...

Theoretical Study of 1,4-Dioxane in Aqueous Solution and Its Experimental Interaction with Nano-CuSO4

The electronic structure, Non-Linear Optical (NLO) properties and Natural Bonding Orbital (NBO) analysis of 1,4-dioxane were investigated using the theoretical study of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-311G (d,p) level of theory. The optimized structure is nonlinear as indicated from the dihedral angles.  Natural bonding orbital analysis has been analyzed in terms...

Theoretical study on the peroxyl radicals scavenging activity of esculetin and its regeneration in aqueous solution.

The study of the ˙OOH, ˙OOCH3 and ˙OOCHCH2 radicals scavenging processes by esculetin (ES) was carried out in aqueous and lipid media, using the density functional theory. Three reaction mechanisms were considered: single electron transfer (SET), hydrogen transfer (HT) and radical adduct formation (RAF). Rate constants and branching ratios for the different paths are reported. It was found that...

Theoretical study on the alkaline hydrolysis of methyl thioacetate in aqueous solution.

A base-catalyzed hydrolysis reaction of thiolester has been studied in both gas and solution phases using two ab initio quantum mechanics calculations such as Gaussian09 and CPMD. The free-energy surface along the reaction path is also constructed using a configuration sampling technique, namely, the metadynamics method. While there are two different reaction paths obtained for the potential pr...
