The parameters of the interatomic potential depends on the temperature of the electronic subsystem Te, which is directly related to the density of the electron-hole pairs and hence the number of broken bonds.

  • Redox Active Iron Nitrosyl Units in Proton Reduction Electrocatalysis
    ARTICLE Received 11 Nov 2013 | Accepted 18 Mar 2014 | Published 2 May 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms4684 Redox active iron nitrosyl units in proton reduction electrocatalysis Chung-Hung Hsieh1, Shengda Ding1,O¨ zlen F. Erdem2, Danielle J. Crouthers1, Tianbiao Liu3, Charles C.L. McCrory4, Wolfgang Lubitz2, Codrina V. Popescu5, Joseph H. Reibenspies1, Michael B. Hall1 & Marcetta Y. Darensbourg1 Base metal, molecular catalysts for the fundamental process of conversion of protons and electrons to dihydrogen, remain a substantial synthetic goal related to a sustainable energy future. Here we report a diiron complex with bridging thiolates in the butterfly shape of the 2Fe2S core of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase active site but with nitrosyl rather than þ carbonyl or cyanide ligands. This binuclear [(NO)Fe(N2S2)Fe(NO)2] complex maintains structural integrity in two redox levels; it consists of a (N2S2)Fe(NO) complex (N2S2 ¼ N,N0-bis(2-mercaptoethyl)-1,4-diazacycloheptane) that serves as redox active metallo- dithiolato bidentate ligand to a redox active dinitrosyl iron unit, Fe(NO)2. Experimental and theoretical methods demonstrate the accommodation of redox levels in both components of the complex, each involving electronically versatile nitrosyl ligands. An interplay of orbital mixing between the Fe(NO) and Fe(NO)2 sites and within the iron nitrosyl bonds in each moiety is revealed, accounting for the interactions that facilitate electron uptake, storage and proton reduction. 1 Department of Chemistry, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843, USA. 2 Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion, Stiftstrasse 34-36, 45470 Muelheim a.d.

  • Seeding the Multi-Dimensional Nonequilibrium Pulling for Hamiltonian Variation
    Seeding the Multi-dimensional Nonequilibrium Pulling for Hamiltonian Variation: Indirect QM/MM Free Energy Simulations Zhaoxi Sun1* and Qiaole He2 1Beijing National Laboratory for Molecular Sciences, College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, Institute of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China 2State Key Laboratory of Bioreactor Engineering, East China University of Science and Technology, 200237 Shanghai, China *To whom correspondence should be addressed: [email protected] Abstract Combination of free energy simulations in the alchemical and configurational spaces provides a feasible route to access the thermodynamic profiles under a computationally demanding target Hamiltonian. Normally, due to the significant differences between the computational cost of ab initio quantum mechanics (QM) calculations and those of semi-empirical quantum mechanics (SQM) and molecular mechanics (MM), this indirect method could be used to obtain the QM thermodynamics by combining the SQM or MM results and the SQM-to-QM or MM-to-QM corrections. In our previous works, a multi-dimensional nonequilibrium pulling framework for Hamiltonian variations has been introduced based on bidirectional pulling and bidirectional reweighting. The method performs nonequilibrium free energy simulations in the configurational space to obtain the thermodynamic profile along the conformational change pathway under a selected computationally efficient Hamiltonian, and uses the nonequilibrium alchemical method to correct or perturb the thermodynamic profile to that under the target Hamiltonian. The BAR-based method is designed to achieve the best generality and transferability and thus leads to modest (~20 folds) speedup. In this work, we explore the possibility of further accelerating the nonequilibrium free energy simulation by employing unidirectional pulling and using the selection criterion to obtain the initial configurations used to initiate nonequilibrium trajectories following the idea of adaptive steered molecular dynamics (ASMD).

Some explanatory references have been added to make acronyms better understandable but still more are needed. Critical comments, additional references, etc. are requested. INTRODUC'IION The IUPAC Working Party on Theoretical Chemistry was persuaded, by discussion with colleagues, that the compilation of a list of acronyms used in theoretical chemistry would be a useful contribution. Initial lists of acronyms drawn up by several members of the working party have been augmented by the provision of a substantial list by Chemical Abstract Service (see footnote below). The working party is particularly grateful to CAS for this generous help. It soon became apparent that many of the acron ms needed more than mere spelling out to make them understandable and so we have added expr anatory references to many of them.

  • WHAT INFLUENCE WOULD a CLOUD BASED SEMANTIC LABORATORY NOTEBOOK HAVE on the DIGITISATION and MANAGEMENT of SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH? by Samantha Kanza
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Faculty of Physical Sciences and Engineering School of Electronics and Computer Science What Influence would a Cloud Based Semantic Laboratory Notebook have on the Digitisation and Management of Scientific Research? by Samantha Kanza Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 25th April 2018 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF PHYSICAL SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING SCHOOL OF ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE Doctor of Philosophy WHAT INFLUENCE WOULD A CLOUD BASED SEMANTIC LABORATORY NOTEBOOK HAVE ON THE DIGITISATION AND MANAGEMENT OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH? by Samantha Kanza Electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) have been studied by the chemistry research community over the last two decades as a step towards a paper-free laboratory; sim- ilar work has also taken place in other laboratory science domains. However, despite the many available ELN platforms, their uptake in both the academic and commercial worlds remains limited. This thesis describes an investigation into the current ELN landscape, and its relationship with the requirements of laboratory scientists. Market and literature research was conducted around available ELN offerings to characterise their commonly incorporated features. Previous studies of laboratory scientists examined note-taking and record-keeping behaviours in laboratory environments; to complement and extend this, a series of user studies were conducted as part of this thesis, drawing upon the techniques of user-centred design, ethnography, and collaboration with domain experts. These user studies, combined with the characterisation of existing ELN features, in- formed the requirements and design of a proposed ELN environment which aims to bridge the gap between scientists' current practice using paper lab notebooks, and the necessity of publishing their results electronically, at any stage of the experiment life cycle.
