Journal ArticleDOI

Direct Chemical Dynamics Simulations.

TL;DR: Direct dynamics simulation studies are described for bimolecular SN2 nucleophilic substitution, unimolecular decomposition, post-transition-state dynamics, mass spectrometry experiments, and semiclassical vibrational spectra.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perspective: chemical dynamics simulations of non-statistical reaction dynamics.

TL;DR: Non-statistical chemical dynamics are discussed for chemical reactions, with results primarily obtained from chemical dynamics simulations and to a lesser extent from experiment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advanced Materials for Energy-Water Systems: The Central Role of Water/Solid Interfaces in Adsorption, Reactivity, and Transport.

TL;DR: The current state of knowledge surrounding adsorption, reactivity, and transport in several key classes of water/solid interfaces is examined, drawing on a synergistic combination of theory, simulation, and experiments, and an outlook for prioritizing strategic research directions is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential energy surface stationary points and dynamics of the F− + CH3I double inversion mechanism

TL;DR: Direct dynamics simulations were performed to study the SN2 double inversion mechanism SN2-DI, with retention of configuration, for the F- + CH3I reaction, and results are disappointing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Competing E2 and SN2 Mechanisms for the F– + CH3CH2I Reaction

TL;DR: Geometrical analysis confirmed synchronous E2-type transition states for the elimination of the current reaction, instead of nonconcerted processes through E1cb-like and E1-like mechanisms, which indicates that, in evaluating the competition between E2 and SN2 processes, the kinetic or dynamical factors may play a significant role.
