Levoglucosenone (LGO) is an important anhydrosugar product of fast pyrolysis of cellulose and biomass. We use the high-level G4(MP2) thermochemical protocol to study the reaction mechanism for the formation of LGO from the 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-α-d-glucopyranose (DGP) pyrolysis intermediate. We find that the DGP-to-LGO conversion proceeds via a multistep reaction mechanism, which involves ring-opening, ring-closing, enol-to-keto tautomerization, hydration, and dehydration reactions. The rate-determining step for the uncatalyzed process is the enol-to-keto tautomerization (ΔG‡298 = 68.6 kcal mol–1). We find that a water molecule can catalyze five of the seven steps in the reaction pathway. In the water-catalyzed process, the barrier for the enol-to-keto tautomerization is reduced by as much as 15.1 kcal mol–1, and the hydration step becomes the rate-determining step with an activation energy of ΔG‡298 = 58.1 kcal mol–1.

Catalytic enhancement of chemical reactions via heterogeneous materials occurs through stabilization of transition states at designed active sites, but dramatically greater rate acceleration on that same active site is achieved when the surface intermediates oscillate in binding energy. The applied oscillation amplitude and frequency can accelerate reactions orders of magnitude above the catalytic rates of static systems, provided the active site dynamics are tuned to the natural frequencies of the surface chemistry. In this work, differences in the characteristics of parallel reactions are exploited via selective application of active site dynamics (0 < ΔU < 1.0 eV amplitude, 10<sup>-6</sup> < f < 10<sup>4</sup> Hz frequency) to control the extent of competing reactions occurring on the shared catalytic surface. Simulation of multiple parallel reaction systems with broad range of variation in chemical parameters revealed that parallel chemistries are highly tunable in selectivity between either pure product, even when specific products are not selectively produced under static conditions. Two mechanisms leading to dynamic selectivity control were identified: (i) surface thermodynamic control of one product species under strong binding conditions, or (ii) catalytic resonance of the kinetics of one reaction over the other. These dynamic parallel pathway control strategies applied to a host of chemical conditions indicate significant potential for improving the catalytic performance of many important industrial chemical reactions beyond their existing static performance.

The development of a sensitive alpha-NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ solid-phase upconverting platform (UCP) has been realized using Moringa oleifera leaf extract for selective detection of arsenic (As III) contamination in drinking water. The presence of polyphenols in the leaves extract is shown to induce luminescence resonance transfer (LRET), diminishing thereby the Er3+ upconverting red and green emissions activated by 980 nm excitation. However, addition of As3+ species interrupts the LRET process and restores emission proportionately. This feature allows platform to selectively detect arsenic pollution in water below the safe limit of 10 ppt. The uniqueness of UCP lies in monitoring the As3+ contamination in samples containing heavy ions (Cd2+, Hg2+) as well, without apparent effect on the signal reproducibility. UCP is also found to be insensitive to other interfering ions like Pb2+, H2PO4-, F-, Cl-, Ca2+, Mg2+, Sn2+, Cr6+, Fe2+ and Co2+, if present.<br><br>
