O’Hair1,2 Metalloenzymes preorganize the reaction environment to steer substrate(s) along the required reaction coordinate. Here, we show that phosphine ligands selectively facilitate þ protonation of binuclear silver hydride cations, [LAg2(H)] by optimizing the geometry of the active site. This is a key step in the selective, catalysed extrusion of carbon dioxide from formic acid, HO2CH, with important applications (for example, hydrogen storage). Gas-phase ion-molecule reactions, collision-induced dissociation (CID), infrared and ultraviolet action spectroscopy and computational chemistry link structure to reactivity and mechanism. þ þ [Ag2(H)] and [Ph3PAg2(H)] react with formic acid yielding Lewis adducts, while þ [(Ph3P)2Ag2(H)] is unreactive.

Decarboxylation of [dppmAg2(O2CH)] via CID þ regenerates [dppmAg2(H)] . These gas-phase insights inspired variable temperature NMR studies that show CO2 and H2 production at 70 °C from solutions containing dppm, AgBF4, NaO2CH and HO2CH. 1 School of Chemistry and Bio21 Molecular Science and Biotechnology Institute, The University of Melbourne, 30 Flemington Road, Parkville, Victoria 3010, Australia. 2 ARC Centre of Excellence for Free Radical Chemistry and Biotechnology, 30 Flemington Road, Parkville, Victoria 3010, Australia. 3 Center of Excellence for Science and Technology – Integration of Mediterranean region (STIM) at Interdisciplinary Center for Advanced Science and Technology (ICAST), University of Split, Mesˇtrovic´evoˇeta s lisˇte 45, 21000 Split, Croatia. 4 Institut des Sciences Analytiques, Universite´ de Lyon, Universite´ Lyon 1-CNRS- ENS Lyon, 69100 Villeurbanne, France. 5 Institut Lumie`re Matie`re, Universite´ Lyon 1-CNRS, Universite´ de Lyon 69622 Villeurbanne Cedex, France. 6 Laboratoire de Chimie Physique, Baˆtiment 349, Universite´ Paris-Sud, CNRS, Universite´ Paris-Saclay, F-91405 Orsay, France. 7 CSIRO Manufacturing, Bayview Avenue, Clayton, Victoria 3168, Australia. 8 Humboldt-Universita¨t Berlin, Institut fu¨r Chemie, 12489 Berlin, Germany.

    DISCOVERING THE ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF METAL HYDRIDES, METAL OXIDES AND ORGANIC MOLECULES USING ANION PHOTOELECTRON SPECTROSCOPY by Allyson M. Buytendyk A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland September, 2015 © 2015 Allyson M. Buytendyk All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Negatively charged molecular ions were studied in the gas phase using anion photoelectron spectroscopy. By coupling theory with the experimentally measured electronic structure, the geometries of the neutral and anion complexes could be predicted. The experiments were conducted using a one-of-a-kind time- of-flight mass spectrometer coupled with a pulsed negative ion photoelectron spectrometer. The molecules studied include metal oxides, metal hydrides, aromatic heterocylic organic compounds, and proton-coupled organic acids. Metal oxides serve as catalysts in reactions from many scientific fields and understanding the catalysis process at the molecular level could help improve reaction efficiencies - - (Chapter 1). The experimental investigation of the super-alkali anions, Li3O and Na3O , revealed both photodetachment and photoionization occur due to the low ionization potential of both neutral molecules. Additionally, HfO- and ZrO- were studied, and although both Hf and Zr have very similar atomic properties, their oxides differ greatly where ZrO- has a much lower electron affinity than HfO-. In the pursuit of using hydrogen as an environmentally friendly fuel alternative, a practical method for storing hydrogen is necessary and metal hydrides are thought to be the answer (Chapter 2). Studies yielding structural and electronic information about the hydrogen - - bonding/interacting in the complex, such as in MgH and AlH4 , are vital to constructing a practical hydrogen storage device.

Conclusion Introduction The compounds you will be making are also naturally occurring compounds; the chemical structure of these compounds is already known from other investigations. Esters are organic molecules of the general form: where R1 and R2 are any carbon chain. Esters are unique in that they often have strong, pleasant odors. As such, they are often used in fragrances, and many artificial flavorings are in fact esters. Esters are produced by the reaction between alcohols and carboxylic acids. For example, reacting ethanol with acetic acid to give ethyl acetate is shown below. + → + In the case of ethyl acetate, R1 is a CH3 group and R2 is a CH3CH2 group. Naming esters systematically requires naming the functional groups on both sides of the bridging oxygen. In the example above, the right side of the ester as shown is a CH3CH2 1 group, or ethyl group. The left side is CH3C=O, or acetate. The name of the ester is therefore ethyl acetate. Deriving the names of the side from the carboxylic acid merely requires replacing the suffix –ic with –ate.

Box 32, Hungary [email protected] Pharmazie 60: 650–655 (2005) The use and importance of formic acid and acetic anhydride (Ac2O) is increasing in nonaqueous acid- base titrations, but their interaction with the solutes is poorly understood. This paper attempts to clarify the effect of the solvents; NMR and spectrophotometric investigations were done to reveal the interac- tions between some bases and the mentioned solvents. Anhydrous formic acid is a typical protogenic solvent but both the relative permittivity and acidity are higher than those of acetic acid (mostly used in assays of bases). These differences originate from the different chemical structures: liquid acetic acid contains basically cyclic dimers while formic acid forms linear associates. Ac2O is obviously not an acidic but an aprotic (very slightly protophilic) solvent, which supposedly dissociates slightly into þ À acetyl (CH3CO ) and acetate (AcO ) ions. In fact, some bases react with Ac2O forming an associate: the Acþ group is bound to the dÀ charged atom of the reactant while AcOÀ is associated with the dþ group at appropriate distance. 1.

  • A Review of the Effect of Formic Acid and Its Salts on the Gastrointestinal
    animals Review A Review of the Effect of Formic Acid and Its Salts on the Gastrointestinal Microbiota and Performance of Pigs Diana Luise * , Federico Correa , Paolo Bosi and Paolo Trevisi Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences (DISTAL), University of Bologna, 40127 Bologna, Italy; [email protected] (F.C.); [email protected] (P.B.); [email protected] (P.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 20 April 2020; Accepted: 17 May 2020; Published: 19 May 2020 Simple Summary: Acidifiers, especially formic acid and its salts, have long been used for improving the gastrointestinal health and growth performance of pigs, especially piglets. Although, some biological mechanisms explaining their effects are already known, a lack of consensus is still reported on their effects on the gastrointestinal microbiome. The present review provides an overview and evaluation of the effects of formic acid and its salts on the gastrointestinal microbiota and on the growth performance of pigs. Abstract: Out of the alternatives to antibiotics and zinc oxide, organic acids, or simply acidifiers, play significant roles, especially in ensuring gut health and the growth performance of pigs. Regarding acidifiers, formic acid and its salts have shown very promising results in weaning, growing and finishing pigs. Although it is known that the main mechanisms by which acidifiers can improve livestock performance and health are related to the regulation of gastrointestinal pH, an improvement in intestinal digestibility and mineral utilization, and their antimicrobial properties against specific pathogens has been observed, while poor consensus remains in relation to the effect of acidifers on bacteria and the complex microbiome.
