Quantum mechanical continuum solvation models.

Deposits of clastic carbonate-dominated (calciclastic) sedimentary slope systems in the rock record have been identified mostly as linearly-consistent carbonate apron deposits, even though most ancient clastic carbonate slope deposits fit the submarine fan systems better. Calciclastic submarine fans are consequently rarely described and are poorly understood. Subsequently, very little is known especially in mud-dominated calciclastic submarine fan systems. Presented in this study are a sedimentological core and petrographic characterisation of samples from eleven boreholes from the Lower Carboniferous of Bowland Basin (Northwest England) that reveals a >250 m thick calciturbidite complex deposited in a calciclastic submarine fan setting. Seven facies are recognised from core and thin section characterisation and are grouped into three carbonate turbidite sequences. They include: 1) Calciturbidites, comprising mostly of highto low-density, wavy-laminated bioclast-rich facies; 2) low-density densite mudstones which are characterised by planar laminated and unlaminated muddominated facies; and 3) Calcidebrites which are muddy or hyper-concentrated debrisflow deposits occurring as poorly-sorted, chaotic, mud-supported floatstones.

Carbon Dioxide Capture in Metal–Organic Frameworks

The hydrogen bond is the most important of all directional intermolecular interactions. It is operative in determining molecular conformation, molecular aggregation, and the function of a vast number of chemical systems ranging from inorganic to biological. Research into hydrogen bonds experienced a stagnant period in the 1980s, but re-opened around 1990, and has been in rapid development since then. In terms of modern concepts, the hydrogen bond is understood as a very broad phenomenon, and it is accepted that there are open borders to other effects. There are dozens of different types of X-H.A hydrogen bonds that occur commonly in the condensed phases, and in addition there are innumerable less common ones. Dissociation energies span more than two orders of magnitude (about 0.2-40 kcal mol(-1)). Within this range, the nature of the interaction is not constant, but its electrostatic, covalent, and dispersion contributions vary in their relative weights. The hydrogen bond has broad transition regions that merge continuously with the covalent bond, the van der Waals interaction, the ionic interaction, and also the cation-pi interaction. All hydrogen bonds can be considered as incipient proton transfer reactions, and for strong hydrogen bonds, this reaction can be in a very advanced state. In this review, a coherent survey is given on all these matters.

The hydrogen bond in the solid state.

A theoretical study of the hydration of metaphosphoric acid to yield phosphoric acid has been carried out by means of MP2/6-31+G(d,p) and MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ computational levels. Up to three explicit water molecules have been considered as well as the PCM solvation model to account for the effect of the bulk water. The reaction profile has been analyzed using the conceptual DFT methodology. The reactant structure is very dependent on the number of water molecules. The inclusion of more than one water molecule produces important cooperative effects and a shortening of the O···P pnictogen interaction besides the reaction barrier drops about 50 kJ mol−1. Reaction force at ξ
 1 indicates the decreasing in the angular stress in the reaction site before reaching the TS as more explicit water molecules are taken into account. The analysis of the reaction electronic flux shows that for the three mechanisms studied, the principal reactive changes occur in the TS zone, while reactants and products remain in a zero-flux regime.

A theoretical study of the dimer formation of chiral 1,8a-dihydro-1,8-naphthyridine derivatives has been carried out by means of DFT calculations. In the cases treated, the heterochiral dimers (RS or SR) are always more stable than the homochiral ones (RR or SS). Two possible proton transfer processes have been studied, the concerted and the non-concerted ones. The non-concerted TS corresponds to a true TS while the concerted one presents two imaginary frequencies. The geometrical characteristics of the hydrogen bonds in all the structures calculated have been correlated using the Steiner–Limbach model.
