Peptide radical cations: gender determines dissociation chemistry. [PDF]
Peptide radicals play a significant role in biology as well as mass spectrometry. They can be differentiated into two groups: conventional hydrogen-deficient radicals, e.g. M(+•) as in electron ionization, and much more rare hydrogen-abundant radicals, e.g. [M+2H](+•), as in electron capture/transfer dissociation.

Chemistry in Quantum Cavities: Exact Results, the Impact of Thermal Velocities and Modified Dissociation [PDF]
In recent years tremendous progress in the field of light-matter interactions has unveiled that strong coupling to the modes of an optical cavity can alter chemistry even at room temperature. Despite these impressive advances, many fundamental questions of chemistry in cavities remain unanswered.

Dissociation chemistry of hydrogen halides in water [PDF]
To understand the mechanism of aqueous acid dissociation, which plays a fundamental role in aqueous chemistry, the ionic dissociation of HX acids (X=F, Cl, Br, and I) in water clusters up to hexamer is examined using density functional theory and Møller–Plesset second-order perturbation methods (MP2).

Cosmic ray dissociation of molecular hydrogen and dense cloud chemistry [PDF]
Dissociation of molecular hydrogen by secondary electrons produced by cosmic ray or X-ray ionization plays a crucial role in the chemistry of the densest part of molecular clouds. Here we study the effect of the mean kinetic energy of secondary electrons on this process.

Bose-enhanced chemistry: Amplification of selectivity in the dissociation of molecular Bose-Einstein condensates [PDF]
We study the photodissociation chemistry of a quantum degenerate gas of bosonic triatomic $ABC$ molecules, assuming two open rearrangement channels ($AB+C$ or $A+BC$). The equations of motion are equivalent to those of a parametric multimode laser, resulting in an exponential buildup of macroscopic mode populations.

Electron Attachment to 5-Fluorouracil: The Role of Hydrogen Fluoride in Dissociation Chemistry. [PDF]
We investigate dissociative electron attachment to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) employing a crossed electron-molecular beam experiment and quantum chemical calculations. Upon the formation of the 5-FU− anion, 12 different fragmentation products are observed, the most probable dissociation channel being H loss.

Dissociation Chemistry of Hydrogen-Deficient Radical Peptide Anions [PDF]
The fragmentation chemistry of anionic deprotonated hydrogen-deficient radical peptides is investigated. Homolytic photodissociation of carbon-iodine bonds with 266 nm light is used to generate the radical species, which are subsequently subjected to collisional activation to induce further dissociation.

Determination of the Dissociation Constants (pKa) of Eight Amines of Importance in Carbon Capture: Computational Chemistry Calculations, and Artificial Neural Network Models [PDF]
This work focuses on determining the dissociation constants (pKa) of eight amines, namely, 3-(Diethylamino) propylamine, 1,3-Diaminopentane, 3-Butoxypropylamine, 2-(Methylamino) ethanol, Bis(2-methoxyethyl) amine, α-Methylbenzylamine, 2-Aminoheptane, and

Cavity-modified unimolecular dissociation reactions via intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution [PDF]
While the emerging field of vibrational polariton chemistry has the potential to overcome traditional limitations of synthetic chemistry, the underlying mechanism is not yet well understood. Here, we explore how the dynamics of unimolecular dissociation reactions that are rate-limited by intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) can be ...

On basis set optimisation in quantum chemistry [PDF]
In this article, we propose general criteria to construct optimal atomic centered basis sets in quantum chemistry. We focus in particular on two criteria, one based on the ground-state one-body density matrix of the system and the other based on the ...
