Steric effects in cyclization reactions [PDF]
Calculations of geometric probability factors indicate that steric effects are important in determining whether the cyclization of β-substituted diallylmethylammonium ions results in five- or six-memberedrings. Evidence is obtained of the direction of intramolecular attack.

Poisson-Fermi Formulation of Nonlocal Electrostatics in Electrolyte Solutions [PDF]
We present a nonlocal electrostatic formulation of nonuniform ions and water molecules with interstitial voids that uses a Fermi-like distribution to account for steric and correlation efects in electrolyte solutions.

Electrostatic and steric effects underlie acetylation-induced changes in ubiquitin structure and function [PDF]
Ubiquitin is not only a posttranslational modifier but itself is subject to modifications, such as acetylation. Characterization of distinct acetylated ubiquitin variants reveals that each acetylation site has a particular impact on ubiquitin structure ...

A Highly Efficient Regioselective Addition of Acetylides to Enediones Based on Steric Effects [PDF]
A simple and efficient strategy for the synthesis of 1-ethynylcyclohex-2-enol derivatives was developed utilizing regioselective addition of acetylides to enediones based on steric effects.

Review and Modification of Entropy Modeling for Steric Effects in the Poisson-Boltzmann Equation [PDF]
The classical Poisson-Boltzmann model can only work when ion concentrations are very dilute, which often does not match the experimental conditions.

Mercury(II) Complexes of Anionic N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands: Steric Effects of the Backbone Substituent [PDF]
Mercury(II) complexes (Me-maloNHCDipp)HgCl (1b), (t-Bu-maloNHCDipp)HgCl (2b) and (t-Bu-maloNHCDipp)HgMe (2c) supported by anionic N-heterocyclic carbenes have been obtained in good yields from the reaction of the potassium salt of N-heterocyclic carbene ...

London dispersion forces and steric effects within nanocomposites tune interaction energies and chain conformation [PDF]
The interplay between attractive London dispersion forces and steric effects due to repulsive forces resulting from the Pauli principle often determines the geometry and stability of nanostructures.

PB-steric equations: A general model of Poisson-Boltzmann equations [PDF]
When ions are crowded, the effect of steric repulsion between ions (which can produce oscillations in charge density profiles) becomes significant and the conventional Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equation should be modified. Several modified PB equations were developed but the associated total ionic charge density has no oscillation.

Steric Effects on Space Electroosmotic Thrusters in Soft Nanochannels
The influence of steric effects on the performances of space electroosmotic thrusters (EOTs) was numerically delineated in soft nanochannels for which its walls are covered with polyelectrolyte materials.
