Are the program packages for molecular structure calculations really black boxes? [PDF]
In this communication it is shown that the widely held opinion that compact program packages for quantum-mechanical calculations of molecular structure can safely be used as black boxes is completely wrong.

Signatures of classical bifurcations in the quantum scattering resonances of dissociating molecules [PDF]
A study is reported of the quantum scattering resonances of dissociating molecules using a semiclassical approach based on periodic-orbit theory. The dynamics takes place on a potential energy surface with an energy barrier separating two channels of dissociation.

Stress-driven oxidation chemistry of wet silicon surfaces [PDF]
The formation of a hydroxylated native oxide layer on Si(001) under wet conditions is studied by means of first principles molecular dynamics simulations. Water molecules are found to adsorb and dissociate on the oxidised surface leading to rupture of Si-O bonds and producing reactive sites for attack by dissolved dioxygen or hydrogen peroxide ...

Computational study on SiH4 dissociation channels and H abstraction reactions [PDF]
The primary dissociation channels of SiH4 were investigated using computational chemistry. The results showed properties very similar to those of CH4. The main dissociation product was SiH2 and the second dissociation product was SiH3.

A pain-causing and paralytic ant venom glycopeptide
Summary: Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are familiar inhabitants of most terrestrial environments. Although we are aware of the ability of many species to sting, knowledge of ant venom chemistry remains limited.

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

The Role of High Energy Photoelectrons on the Dissociation of Molecular Nitrogen in Earth's Ionosphere [PDF]
Soft x-ray radiation from the sun is responsible for the production of high energy photoelectrons in the D and E regions of the ionosphere, where they deposit most of their ionization energy. The photoelectrons created by this process are the main drivers for dissociation of Nitrogen molecule ($N_2$) below 200 km.

Understanding and Controlling Water Stability of MOF-74 [PDF]
Metal organic framework (MOF) materials in general, and MOF-74 in particular, have promising properties for many technologically important processes. However, their instability under humid conditions severely restricts practical use. We show that this instability and the accompanying reduction of the CO$_2$ uptake capacity of MOF-74 under humid ...

Convection and chemistry effects in CVD: A 3-D analysis for silicon deposition [PDF]
The computational fluid dynamics code FLUENT has been adopted to simulate the entire rectangular-channel-like (3-D) geometry of an experimental CVD reactor designed for Si deposition.
