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.

Gas phase bond dissociation enthalpies and enthalpies of isomerization/reaction for small hydrocarbon combustion related compounds between 300 and 1500 K: A comparison of Gaussian-4 (G4) theoretical values against experimental data [PDF]
Gas phase calculations at 1 atmosphere pressure between 300 and 1500 K at 200 K intervals were conducted using the Gaussian-4 (G4) composite method level of theory on a representative set of reactions having broad relevance in hydrocarbon combustion ...

Calculation of the static and dynamical correlation energy of pseudo-one-dimensional beryllium systems via a many-body expansion [PDF]
Low-dimensional beryllium systems constitute interesting case studies for the test of correlation methods because of the importance of both static and dynamical correlation in the formation of the bond.

Quantum chemical studies of redox properties and conformational changes of a four-center iron CO2 reduction electrocatalyst. [PDF]
The CO2 reduction electrocatalyst [Fe4N(CO)12]- (abbrev. 1-) reduces CO2 to HCO2- in a two-electron, one-proton catalytic cycle. Here, we employ ab initio calculations to estimate the first two redox potentials of 1- and explore the pathway of a side ...

Controlling Chemical Reactions in Confined Environments: Water Dissociation in MOF-74
The confined porous environment of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) is an attractive system for studying reaction mechanisms. Compared to flat oxide surfaces, MOFs have the key advantage that they exhibit a well-defined structure and present significantly

Redox driven B12-ligand switch drives CarH photoresponse
CarH is a coenzyme B12-dependent photoreceptor involved in regulating carotenoid biosynthesis. How light-triggered cleavage of the B12 Co-C bond culminates in CarH tetramer dissociation to initiate transcription remains unclear. Here, a series of crystal

Effects of vibrational excitation on the F + H2O → HF + OH reaction: dissociative photodetachment of overtone-excited [F-H-OH]. [PDF]
The reaction F + H2O → HF + OH is a four-atom system that provides an important benchmark for reaction dynamics. Hydrogen atom transfer at the transition state for this reaction is expected to exhibit a strong dependence on reactant vibrational ...

Mechanism of DNA Recognition at a Viral Replication Origin [PDF]
Recognition of the DNA origin by the Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) protein is the primary event in latentphase genome replication of the Epstein-Barr virus, a model for replication initiation in eukaryotes.

Modeling Dissociation-Vibration Coupling with the Macroscopic Chemistry Method [PDF]
We test the recently developed macroscopic approach to modeling chemistry in DSMC [Lilliley & Macrossan, Physics of Fluids, 16(6), 2054-2066 (2004)], by simulating the flow of rarefied dissociating nitrogen over a blunt cylinder. In this macroscopic method, chemical reactions are decoupled from the collision routine.
