Intramolecular Force Mapping at Room Temperature [PDF]
Acquisition of dense, three-dimensional, force fields with intramolecular resolution via noncontact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) has yielded enormous progress in our ability to characterize molecular and two-dimensional materials at the atomic scale. To date, intramolecular force mapping has been performed exclusively at cryogenic temperatures, due

Intramolecular Force Contrast and Dynamic Current-Distance Measurements at Room Temperature [PDF]
Scanning probe microscopy can be used to probe the internal atomic structure of flat organic molecules. This technique requires an unreactive tip and has, until now, been demonstrated only at liquid helium and liquid nitrogen temperatures. We demonstrate intramolecular and intermolecular force contrast at room temperature on PTCDA molecules adsorbed on

Polymer Mechanochromism from Force-Tuned Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer [PDF]
Real-time monitoring of strain/stress in polymers is a big challenge to date. Herein, we for the first time report an ESIPT (excited-state intramolecular proton transfer)-based mechanochromic mechanophore (MM).

Analysis of two intramolecular proton transfer processes in terms of the reaction force
The negative derivative of the potential energy along an intrinsic reaction coordinate defines a force that has qualitatively a universal form for any process having an energy barrier: it passes through a negative minimum before the transition state, at which it is zero, followed by a positive maximum.

Accelerating QM/MM Free Energy Computations via Intramolecular Force Matching. [PDF]
The calculation of free energy differences between levels of theory has numerous potential pitfalls. Chief among them is the lack of overlap, i.e., ensembles generated at one level of theory (e.g., “low”) not being good approximations of ensembles at the

Force spectroscopy of polymers: Studying on intramolecular and intermolecular interactions in single molecular level [PDF]
Single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) is a powerful means in studying the intramolecular and intermolecular interactions in polymer and supramolecular systems, thus opening new horizons for nanomechanic chemistry. This feature article concerns mainly

Intramolecular Force Field of some Tetrahedral Molecules and Ions [PDF]
Abstract The orbital valence force field (OVFF), and the Urey-Bradley force field (UBFF) have been employed to calculate the force constants for six molecules and ions (AlCl4 -, AlBr4 -, AlI4 -, Til4 - , Os16O4 , and Os18O4).

The intramolecular stabilizing effects of O-benzoyl substituents as a driving force of the acid-promoted pyranoside-into-furanoside rearrangement [PDF]
Furanoside derivatives are broadly present in the antigenic structures of pathogenic microorganisms and play a key role in their recognition by the host immune system.

Q-model of electrode reactions: altering force constants of intramolecular vibrations
Vibrational force constants of molecules can be altered in electrode reactions. A theory is formulated accounting for such effects in terms of non-parabolic free energy surfaces.
