Journal ArticleDOI
Carboxyl-functionalized task-specific ionic liquids for solubilizing metal oxides.
Peter Nockemann,Ben Thijs,Tatjana N. Parac-Vogt,Kristof Van Hecke,Luc Van Meervelt,Bernard Tinant,Ingo Hartenbach,Thomas Schleid,Vu Thi Ngan,Minh Tho Nguyen,Koen Binnemans +10 more
TL;DR: The crystal structures of four ionic liquids and five metal complexes have been determined and it was found that it can be attributed to the temperature-dependent hydration and hydrogen-bond formation of the ionic liquid components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of the hydration of carbon dioxide: direct participation of H2O versus microsolvation.
TL;DR: The calculated results confirm the crucial role of direct participation of three water molecules in the eight-member cyclic TS for the CO 2 hydration reaction and are consistently higher in energy than the corresponding CO 2 complexes and can undergo more facile water-assisted dehydration processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural identification of caged vanadium doped silicon clusters.
Pieterjan Claes,Ewald Janssens,Vu Thi Ngan,Philipp Gruene,Jonathan T. Lyon,Dan J. Harding,André Fielicke,Minh Tho Nguyen,Peter Lievens +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the clusters are endohedral cages, and evidence is provided that Si(16)V(+) is a fluxional system with a symmetric Frank-Kasper geometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermochemistry and Electronic Structure of Small Boron and Boron Oxide Clusters and Their Anions
TL;DR: The predicted heats of formation show agreement close to the error bars of the literature results for boron oxides with the largest error for OBO, and the strength of the BO bonds tends to compensate the destabilization arising from a loss of binding in the cyclicboron clusters, in such a way that a linear borons oxide prevails.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heats of formation of the Criegee formaldehyde oxide and dioxirane
TL;DR: In this article, the authors predict the heats of formation of formaldehyde O-oxide 1 and dioxirane 2: Δ H f 0 ( CH 2 OO, 1 ) = 28.1 and 26.4 kcal/mol, respectively.
