A computational study on the origin of the activating effect for Pd-catalyzed directed C–H activation by the concerted metalation-deprotonation (CMD) mechanism is conducted. DFT calculations indicate that strong acids can make Pd catalysts coordinate with directing groups (DGs) of the substrates more strongly and lower the C–H activation energy barrier. For the CMD mechanism, the electrophilicity of the Pd center and the basicity of the corresponding acid ligand for deprotonating the C–H bond are vital to the overall C–H activation energy barrier. Furthermore, this rule might disclose the role of some additives for C–H activation.

Kinetics Of

The two-step austempering process has been reported to be an effective method to accelerate the bainitic transformation process by introducing martensite (Q-M-B). However, in this study, it was found that the Q-M-B process reduced the incubation time, but the transformation duration remained nearly unchanged. The notably reduced activation energy barrier for nucleation of bainitic ferrite on the preformed martensite should be responsible for the reduced duration time of the Q-M-B process. A process that both of the two steps were above, Ms (Q-B-B), has been demonstrated to increase transformation rate and improve the amount of bainitic ferrite, which probably results from the additional hysteresis free energy provided by the first quenching process.

Local Activation Energy

Heterogeneous bubble nucleation is one of the most fundamental interfacial processes that has received broad interest from diverse fields of physics and chemistry. While most studies focused on large microbubbles, here we employed a surface plasmon resonance microscopy to measure the nucleation rate constant and activation energy barrier of single nanosized embryo vapor bubbles upon heating a flat gold film with a focused laser beam. Image analysis allowed for simultaneously determining the local temperature and local nucleation rate constant from the same batch of optical images. By analyzing the dependence of nucleation rate constant on temperature, we were able to calculate the local activation energy barrier within a submicrometer spot. Scanning the substrate further led to a nucleation rate map with a spatial resolution of 100 nm, which revealed no correlation with the local roughness. These results indicate that facet structure and surface chemistry, rather than geometrical roughness, regulated the activation energy barrier for heterogeneous nucleation of embryo nanobubbles.
