Thermodynamic equilibrium, kinetics, activation barriers, and reaction mechanisms for chemical reactions in Karst Terrains
Chemical reactions pertinent to karst systems divide broadly into (a) speciation reactions within aqueous solutions, (b) dissolution/precipitation and other acid/base reactions between aqueous solutions and solid minerals, and (c) redox reactions involving various carbon and sulfur-bearing species. As a backdrop against which other chemistry can be evaluated, selected phase diagrams and equilib...
متن کاملFMO-MD simulations on the hydration of formaldehyde in water solution with constraint dynamics.
Full-quantum mechanical fragment molecular orbital-based molecular dynamics (FMO-MD) simulations were applied to the hydration reaction of formaldehyde in water solution under neutral conditions. Two mechanisms, a concerted and a stepwise one, were considered with respect to the nucleophilic addition and the proton transfer. Preliminary molecular orbital calculations by means of polarized conti...
متن کاملComputational investigation of the mechanism of addition of singlet carbenes to bicyclobutanes.
Singlet carbenes are known to react with bicyclobutanes to yield 1,4-diene products, as in the addition of dichlorocarbene to bicyclobutane to yield 1,1-dichloro-1,4-pentadiene. At least two mechanisms have been proposed to explain this unusual reaction: (1) a concerted process and (2) a stepwise process involving a zwitterionic intermediate. Ab initio electronic structure calculations have bee...
متن کاملThermodynamics and kinetics of proton-coupled electron transfer: stepwise vs. concerted pathways.
Reactions that involve transfer of an electron and a proton can proceed by stepwise pathways involving initial electron transfer (ET) or initial proton transfer (PT), or by a concerted pathway without an intermediate. The concerted mechanism is termed proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET). Understanding such reactions requires knowledge of the thermodynamics of the possible ET, PT, and PCET s...
متن کاملThe initiation mechanisms for surface hydrosilylation with 1-alkenes.
Hydrosilylation provides a route to form substituted silanes in solution. A similar reaction has been observed in the formation of covalent organic monolayers on a hydrogen-terminated silicon surface and is called thermal hydrosilylation. In solution, the mechanism requires a catalyst to add the basal silicon and saturating hydrogen to the C=C double bond. On the silicon surface, however, the r...
