We carry out Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamic simulations to show that the reaction between the smallest Criegee intermediate, CH2OO, and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at the air/water interface can be observed within few picoseconds. The reaction follows both concerted and stepwise mechanisms with former being the dominant reaction pathway. The concerted reaction proceeds with or without the involv...

A new decadentate dinucleating ligand containing a pyridazine bridging group and pyridylic arms has been synthesized and characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. Four new dinuclear cobalt complexes featuring this ligand have been prepared and thoroughly characterized both in the solid state (X-ray diffraction) and in solution (1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, ESI-MS, and electrochem...

When it was discovered in this laboratory that sarcosine and dimethylglycine are oxidized to formaldehyde by riboflavin phosphate and riboflavin in the absence of protein,1 this observation was pursued, not only because of our interest in the enzymatic oxidation of these substrates, but also because of its implications regarding the origin of biochemical reactions. Subsequent studies to be desc...

The use of diphenylcarbazide as an electron donor coupled to the photoreduction of 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol by tris-washed chloroplasts or subchloroplast fragments provides a simple and sensitive assay for photosystem 2 of chloroplasts. By varying the concentration of tris buffer at pH 8.0 during an incubation period it is shown that the destruction of oxygen evolution activity is accompani...

Chlorophyll fluorescence quenching induced by H 20 2 in intact spinach chloroplasts was investi­ gated with a modulation fluorometer which allows to distinguish between photochemical and non­ photochemical quenching com ponents by the so-called saturation pulse method. Residual catalase activity was removed by washing and percoll gradient centrifugation. H 20 2 was found to induce pronounced ph...

Up to now, many efforts have been continuously channeled toward the development of oxidation techniques on the III-V compounds for GaAs-based device application, which include thermal oxidation [1-7], chemical anodization [8-12], photochemical oxidation [13-16], plasma oxidation [17-20], Ga2O3 grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) [21-23], Al2O3 grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) [24], oxid...
