Journal ArticleDOI
Rhodium Boryl Complexes in the Catalytic, Terminal Functionalization of Alkanes
John F. Hartwig,Kevin S. Cook,Marko Hapke,Christopher D. Incarvito,Yubo Fan,Charles Edwin Webster,Michael B. Hall +6 more
TL;DR: Results strongly suggest that the C-H bond cleavage process occurs by a metal-assisted sigma-bond metathesis mechanism to generate a borane complex that isomerizes if necessary to place the alkyl group cis to the boryl group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of urea, tetramethyl urea, and trimethylamine N-oxide on aqueous solution structure and solvation of protein backbones: a molecular dynamics simulation study.
Haiyan Wei,Yubo Fan,Yi Qin Gao +2 more
TL;DR: Simulation results reveal the potential importance of the indirect effects of cosolvents in protein denaturation or structure protection, particularly through modifying of the water-amide interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and computational evidence for a boron-assisted, σ-bond metathesis pathway for alkane borylation
TL;DR: It is shown by a combination of experimental and theoretical studies that the "unoccupied" p orbital of dioxaboryl ligands are intimately involved in the C-H bond activation step and that this hydrogen transfer to boron occurs by a bor on-assisted, metal-mediated sigma-bond metathesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the structure of water at the aqueous/air interface.
TL;DR: Vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations were used in concert to investigate the molecular structure and hydrogen bonding of the air/water interface and revealed the presence of four OH stretch region peaks at 3117, 3222, 3448, and 3696 cm(-1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Electronic effects steer the mechanism of asymmetric hydrogenations of unfunctionalized aryl-substituted alkenes.
TL;DR: Density functional theory was used to study asymmetric hydrogenations of alkenes catalyzed by an iridium imidazolylidine oxazoline complex and correct predictions were made regarding the experimentally observed sense and magnitude of the enantioselectivities.
