Journal ArticleDOI
Bottlebrush Polymer Synthesis by Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization: The Significance of the Anchor Group
TL;DR: Rational selection of the anchor group is critical to achieve high MM conversion and to prepare pure, high MW bottlebrush polymers by ROMP grafting-through.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneous chemistry and reaction dynamics of the atmospheric oxidants, O3, NO3, and OH, on organic surfaces
TL;DR: Experimental and computational studies have begun to reveal the detailed reaction mechanisms and kinetics for gas-phase O3, NO3, and OH when they impinge on organic surfaces, which will help others more accurately predict the properties of aerosols, the environmental impact of interfacial oxidation, and the concentrations of tropospheric gases.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The work demonstrates that the ultimate fate of DMMP hydrolysis at the Cs8[Nb6O19] catalyst is strong binding of the (methyl) methylphosphonic acid ((M)MPA) product to the polyanions, which ultimately inhibits catalytic turnover.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reaction Mechanism of Nerve-Agent Hydrolysis with the Cs8Nb6O19 Lindqvist Hexaniobate Catalyst
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed mechanism for the hydrolysis of Sarin catalyzed by Cs8Nb6O19 obtained using electronic structure calculations is presented, where the initial steps of the reaction involve the adsorption of water and Sarin on the hexaniobate catalyst via nonbonding interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A theoretical study of the ozonolysis of C60: primary ozonide formation, dissociation, and multiple ozone additions.
TL;DR: Calculations reveal that, while full ozonation of all bonds between hexagons in C60 is unlikely even under high ozone concentration, the addition of a few ozone molecules to the C60 cage is favorable at room temperature.
