In this study, the density functional theory (DFT) and CCSD(T) method have been performed to gain insight into the possible products and detailed reaction mechanism of the Criegee intermediate (CI) of anti-PhCHOO with SO2 for the first time. The potential energy surfaces (PESs) have been depicted at the UCCSD(T)/6-311++G(d,p)//UB3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) levels of theory with ZPE correction. Two different five-membered ring adducts, viz., endo PhCHOOS(O)O (IM1) and exo PhCHOOS(O)O (IM2) have been found in the entrance of reaction channels. Both direct and indirect reaction pathways from IM1 and IM2 have been considered for the title reaction. Our calculations show that the formation of PhCHO+SO3 (P1) via indirect reaction pathways from IM1 is predominant in all the pathways, and the production of P1 via direct dissociation pathway of IM1 and indirect reaction pathways of IM2 cannot be neglected. Moreover, PhCOOH+SO2 (P2) initiated from IM2 is identified as the minor product. According to the kinetic calculation, the total rate constant for the anti-PhCHOO+SO2 reaction is estimated to be 6.98 × 10−10 cm3·molecule−1·s−1 at 298 K.

Reaction pathways for a water molecule dissociation (H2Oads) to form hydroxyl (OHads) and hydrogen (Hads) on the Ru-alloyed Pt(111) surface were computationally modelled on the basis of density functional theory (DFT). The aim of this study was to evaluate whether or not such a reaction can take place and to determine the most probable route for this reaction. To get the answer, we calculated the potential energy surfaces (PES) of the proposed reaction pathways. From the results of the PES scan, we then obtained the most preferential pathway for H2O dissociation, i.e., the reaction route with an activation energy of 0.72 eV. This activation energy value is lower than the value of pure Pt (111), the surface at which H2O dissociation can occur in the real system. Thus, it can be said that water splitting may be easier when catalyzing Ru-alloyed surfaces compared to pure Pt catalysts.

The reaction kinetics among isoquinoline, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, and indole (as NH-acid) were investigated using ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometry. The reaction rate equation was obtained, the dependence of the reaction rate on different reactants was determined, and the overall rate constant ( kov) was calculated. By studying the effects of solvent, temperature, and concentration on the reaction rate, some useful information was obtained. A logical mechanism consistent with the experimental observations was proposed. Also, comprehensive theoretical studies were performed to evaluate the potential energy surfaces of all structures that participated in the reaction mechanism. Finally, the proposed mechanism was confirmed by the obtained results and the probable and logical reaction paths and also a correct product configuration were suggested based on the theoretical results.

<p>Maximum diversification of data is a central theme in building generalized and accurate machine learning (ML) models. In chemistry, ML has been used to develop models for predicting molecular properties, for example quantum mechanics (QM) calculated potential energy surfaces and atomic charge models. The ANI-1x and ANI-1ccx ML-based eneral-purpose potentials for organic molecules were developed through active learning; an automated data diversification process. Here, we describe the ANI-1x and ANI-1ccx data sets. To demonstrate data set diversity, we visualize them with a dimensionality reduction scheme, and contrast against existing data sets. The ANI-1x data set contains multiple QM properties from 5M density functional theory calculations, while the ANI-1ccx data set contains 500k data points obtained with an accurate CCSD(T)/CBS extrapolation. Approximately 14 million CPU core-hours were expended to generate this data. Multiple QM properties from density functional theory and coupled cluster are provided: energies, atomic forces, multipole moments, atomic charges, and more. We provide this data to the community to aid research and development of ML models for chemistry.</p>

Unbiased density functional global optimisation calculations, followed by kinetic Monte Carlo simulations are used to enumerate the potential energy surfaces for migration of noble metals Pt and Au inside the pore system of siliceous zeolite LTA. The effects of reducing adsorbates CO and H2 are determined. It is found that the two metals differ significantly in the strength and type of interaction with the framework, with strong, framework breaking interactions between Pt and and the zeolite, but only weak dispersive interactions between Au and the zeolite. Adsorbates are found to dramatically interfere with Pt-framework binding, leading to poorer atom-trapping, enhanced metal migration and faster equilibration.

Abstract The multidimensional study, combining the extensive calculations of potential energy surfaces for the parallel-displaced configurations and methods such as energy decomposition and natural bond orbital analysis, has been carried out. The resulted data give an energy, orbital and structural landscapes of this biologically essential system. The balance of the two energy sources, electrostatic and dispersion, is clearly visible. The obtained results, taken as a whole, provide an insight into the hierarchy of intermolecular interactions in the purine system, together with their sources.

The reaction mechanisms of HNCS with CH 2 CH radical have been investigated by density functional theory (DFT). The geometries and harmonic frequencies of the reactants, intermediates, transition states and products have been calculated at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. The results show that the reaction is very complicated. Nine possible reaction pathways were identified. The results show that the most feasible reaction channel is the hydrogen-transfer pathway CH 2 CH + HNCS → IMA1 → TSA1 → CH 2 CHH + NCS . The pathway VIC C-S addition channel ( CH 2 CH + HNCS → TSD5 → IMD4 → TSD9 → CH 2 CHS + CNH ) can also occur easily. Ethene and radical NCS is the main product of the studied reaction, and product P8 ( CH 2 CHS and CNH ) may also be observed. Compared with our previous study on the reaction HNCS + CH 2 CH , the present reaction is easier to proceed.
