ISBN: 111960561X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
Atomic-Scale Modelling of Electrochemical Systems A comprehensive overview of atomistic computational electrochemistry, discussing methods, implementation, and state-of-the-art applications in the field The first book to review state-of-the-art computational and theoretical methods for modelling, understanding, and predicting the properties of electrochemical interfaces. This book presents a detailed description of the current methods, their background, limitations, and use for addressing the electrochemical interface and reactions. It also highlights several applications in electrocatalysis and electrochemistry. Atomic-Scale Modelling of Electrochemical Systems discusses different ways of including the electrode potential in the computational setup and fixed potential calculations within the framework of grand canonical density functional theory. It examines classical and quantum mechanical models for the solid-liquid interface and formation of an electrochemical double-layer using molecular dynamics and/or continuum descriptions. A thermodynamic description of the interface and reactions taking place at the interface as a function of the electrode potential is provided, as are novel ways to describe rates of heterogeneous electron transfer, proton-coupled electron transfer, and other electrocatalytic reactions. The book also covers multiscale modelling, where atomic level information is used for predicting experimental observables to enable direct comparison with experiments, to rationalize experimental results, and to predict the following electrochemical performance. Uniquely explains how to understand, predict, and optimize the properties and reactivity of electrochemical interfaces starting from the atomic scale Uses an engaging “tutorial style” presentation, highlighting a solid physicochemical background, computational implementation, and applications for different methods, including merits and limitations Bridges the gap between experimental electrochemistry and computational atomistic modelling Written by a team of experts within the field of computational electrochemistry and the wider computational condensed matter community, this book serves as an introduction to the subject for readers entering the field of atom-level electrochemical modeling, while also serving as an invaluable reference for advanced practitioners already working in the field.

Quantum Tunnelling in Enzyme-catalysed Reactions
Author: Rudolf K. Allemann
Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry
ISBN: 0854041222
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
In recent years, there has been an explosion in knowledge and research associated with the field of enzyme catalysis and H-tunneling. Rich in its breath and depth, this introduction to modern theories and methods of study is suitable for experienced researchers those new to the subject. Edited by two leading experts, and bringing together the foremost practitioners in the field, this up-to-date account of a rapidly developing field sits at the interface between biology, chemistry and physics. It covers computational, kinetic and structural analysis of tunnelling and the synergy in combining these methods (with a major focus on H-tunneling reactions in enzyme systems). The book starts with a brief overview of proton and electron transfer history by Nobel Laureate, Rudolph A. Marcus. The reader is then guided through chapters covering almost every aspect of reactions in enzyme catalysis ranging from descriptions of the relevant quantum theory and quantum/classical theoretical methodology to the description of experimental results. The theoretical interpretation of these large systems includes both quantum mechanical and statistical mechanical computations, as well as simple more approximate models. Most of the chapters focus on enzymatic catalysis of hydride, proton and H" transfer, an example of the latter being proton coupled electron transfer. There is also a chapter on electron transfer in proteins. This is timely since the theoretical framework developed fifty years ago for treating electron transfers has now been adapted to H-transfers and electron transfers in proteins. Accessible in style, this book is suitable for a wide audience but will be particularly useful to advanced level undergraduates, postgraduates and early postdoctoral workers.

The reading journey of this book starts with very important phenomenon in inorganic chemistry known as the Trans effect. The Trans effect then leads to a very fascinating discovery that changed the whole world. That was the discovery of the anti-cancer drug. The story of its invention is really interesting. This will really trigger the minds of students that how inventions are made. This will show you how one invention leads path to the other. This book introduces the work of Nobel Prize winners and scientist who dedicated their whole life for the sake of chemistry. Henry Taube was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on complexes & outer and inner sphere reaction mechanism. This book introduces his work. Rudolf A. Marcus received Nobel Prize for his work on redox reactions in complexes. This book discusses the basic principles of redox reactions in complexes. Transition metal complexes plays a fundamental role in three important areas. (1) Bioinorganic chemistry (2) Medicinal chemistry (3) Industrial chemistry. The study of the mechanism helps in designing new inorganic materials, new inorganic catalysts, and new inorganic medicines and for understanding the biological processes. This is a simple book discussing basic principles of inorganic reaction mechanisms. Further, we have provided minor information about basic bioinorganic reactions, nuclear reactions and the chain reaction mechanism. The phenomenon such as acid rain has also been discussed. The last chapter classifies the reactions of metal complexes. Hope this book will be useful for science graduates and post graduates and also for the engineering students.

Theory of Unimolecular Reactions
Author: Wendell Forst
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0323149359
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
Theory of Unimolecular Reactions provides a comprehensive analysis of the theory of unimolecular reactions, also known to kineticists as the Rice-Marcus or the Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus theory, and to those working in mass spectrometry and related fields as the quasi-equilibrium theory or the theory of mass spectra. This book demonstrates how theoretical parameters are related to experimental observables and describes the methods that are used to obtain useful numerical answers. This monograph consists of 11 chapters and begins by explaining the derivation of the expression for the basic rate k(E), with emphasis on the unimolecular rate constant, intramolecular energy transfer, and potential energy surfaces in unimolecular reactions. The statistical calculation of unimolecular rate under vibrational potential is also given, along with pertinent degrees of freedom. The remaining chapters explore the energy distribution functions appropriate to each system, the averaging of k(E), and the relations between theoretical and experimental parameters. Thermal reactions, chemical activation systems, and the theory of mass spectra are examined. The last chapter is devoted to the transition state and its ambiguities. This text will be of interest to gas kineticists, mass spectrometrists, and students and researchers working in the field of physical chemistry.
