Interactive Chemical Reactivity Exploration [PDF]

open access: yesChemPhysChem, 2014
AbstractElucidating chemical reactivity in complex molecular assemblies of a few hundred atoms is, despite the remarkable progress in quantum chemistry, still a major challenge. Black‐box search methods to find intermediates and transition‐state structures might fail in such situations because of the high‐dimensionality of the potential energy surface.

Perspectives on the Role of the Frontier Effective-for-Reaction Molecular Orbital (FERMO) in the Study of Chemical Reactivity: An Updated Review

, 2020
Molecular orbitals are critical in the rationalization of several chemical reactions. Thus, the frontier molecular orbital theory, proposed by Fukui's group, postulated the importance of the Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) and the Lowest ...

The chemical and biochemical reactivity of dichlorvos

Archives of Toxicology, 1978
The chemical structure, reactivity and metabolic fate of the insecticide dichlorvos (2,2-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate) are discussed in relation to the possible genotoxicity of this and other methyl phosphate triesters. Recent attempts to demonstrate the methylation of DNA following exposure of bacteria and animals to dichlorvos are reviewed.

Chemical Reactivity

2022
Expanding on the concepts outlined in the first chapter, the general reactivity of the carbonyl group is presented, now including the presence of substituents on the carbon. Nucleophilic addition may compete with hydrogen abstraction from the alpha carbon and addition may take place under thermodynamic or kinetic control, and may require acid catalysis.

A Singularity Model for Chemical Reactivity

Chemistry - A European Journal, 2010
AbstractThis article proposes a model for chemical reactivity that involves singularities (“catastrophes”) in the timing of bond‐making and bond‐breaking events. The common stapler is a good mechanical analogy: As hand‐pressure is increased on the machine, the staple hardly changes its configuration until the staple suddenly bends.

A fast and simple evaluation of the chemical reactivity properties of the Pristinamycin family of antimicrobial peptides

, 2020
The MN12SX density functional, in connection with the Def2TZVP basis set, was assessed together with the SMD solvation model (Solvation Model based on the Density) in the presence of water (the so called MN12SX/Def2TZVP/ H2O model chemistry) for the ...

Theory of surface chemical reactivity

Russian Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2007
Fundamental reactivity concepts of relevance to the reactivity of transition metal surfaces are reviewed using elementary quantum-chemical concepts. The Newns-Anderson tight binding model of chemisorption is presented and subsequently used to outline the electronic structure characteristics of weak versus strong chemisorption. Fundamental concepts such

Quantum Mechanical Tunneling Is Essential to Understanding Chemical Reactivity

, 2020
Quantum mechanical tunneling is a consequence of the wave nature of particles that implies that a particle can penetrate a potential energy barrier even though there is insufficient energy to overcome it.

Intrinsic Chemical Reactivity of Silicon Electrode Materials: Gas Evolution

, 2020
In this work, we explore how the chemical reactivity toward an aprotic battery electrolyte changes as a function of lithium salt and silicon surface termination chemistry.
