A comparative study of temperature dependence of induction time and oscillatory frequency in polymer‐immobilized and free catalyst Belousov‐Zhabotinsky reactions

Environment‐sensitive poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgel particles with covalently bonded ruthenium(4‐vinyl‐4′‐methyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine) bis (2,2′‐bipyridine) [Ru(vmbipy)(bipy)₂] display periodic size changes when placed in Belousov‐Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction substrates. The temperature dependency of the induction time and oscillatory frequency of the BZ reaction in this polymer‐immobilized catalyst system were compared to the bulk BZ reaction with the catalyst in the solution phase. Prolonged induction times are observed for the immobilized catalyst, compared with free catalyst, while little difference is observed on the oscillation frequency. The Arrhenius frequency factor calculated using the induction time for the immobilized catalyst BZ reaction is about seven times smaller than that for the free catalyst Ru(bipy) case. On the other hand, the Arrhenius frequency factors calculated using the oscillatory frequency are almost the same, showing similar reaction kinetics during the BZ oscillations. The tunability of the induction time using a polymer matrix, as we observed here, while maintaining similar oscillatory behavior, should provide a new dimension to control the self‐assembling of BZ active particles. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Chemical oscillations in the metal ion-catalyzed bromate-4-aminophenol reaction

Temporal oscillations of the bromate-4-aminophenol system have been studied in the presence of four different catalysts:tris(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II) sulfate(ferroin),Ce(III),Mn(II),and Fe(II).Transient temporal oscillations were observed in the four catalyzed systems when the reactions were conducted in a stirred batch reactor.The induction time was prolonged by the presence of ferroin,but it was shortened in the Ce(III)-and Mn(II)-catalyzed systems.On the other hand,the number of peaks was significantly decreased in the presence of ferroin.The development of oscillatory behaviour was found to be more sensitive to the ratio of bromate and 4-aminophenol concentration than to their absolute concentrations.The reaction rates of 4-aminophenol with Ce(IV) and 4-aminophenol with ferritin were measured directly by spectroscopic methods in a sulfuric acid medium.

Kinetic Study of the Ce(III)‐, Mn(II)‐, or Ferroin‐Catalyzed Belousov‐Zhabotinsky Reaction with Allylmalonic Acid

In a stirred batch experiment and under aerobic conditions, ferroin (Fe(phen)₃²⁺) behaves differently from Ce(III) or Mn(II) ion as a catalyst for the Belousov‐Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction with allylmalonic acid (AMA). The effects of bromate ion, AMA, metal‐ion catalyst, and sulfuric acid on the oscillating pattern were investigated. The kinetics of the reaction of AMA with Ce(IV), Mn(III), or Fe(phen)₃³⁺ ion was studied under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. The order of reactivity of metal ions toward reaction with AMA is Fe(phen)₃³⁺ > Mn(III) > Ce(IV) under aerobic conditions whereas it is Mn(III) > Ce(IV) > Fe(phen)₃³⁺ under anaerobic conditions. Under aerobic or anaerobic conditions, the order of reactivity of RCH(CO₂H)₂ (R = H (MA), Me (MeMA), Et (EtMA), allyl (AMA), n‐Bu (BuMA), Ph (PhMA), and Br (BrMA)) is PhMA > MA > BrMA > AMA > MeMA > EtMA > BuMA toward reaction with Ce(IV) ion and it is MA > PhMA > BrMA > MeMA > AMA > EtMA > BuMA toward reaction with Mn(III) ion. Under aerobic conditions, the order of reactivity of RCH(CO₂H)₂ toward reaction with Fe(phen)₃³⁺ ion is PhMA > BrMA > (MeMA, AMA) > (BuMA, EtMA) > MA. The experiment results are rationalized.     

Synchronization and complex dynamics of oscillators with delayed pulse coupling

Finger on the pulse: A systematic experimental study of pulse-coupled chemical oscillators with delay has confirmed a surprisingly large number of theoretical and mathematical predictions (see the dynamics for a pair of pulse-coupled oscillators; AP=antiphase (AP) and IP=in-phase oscillations, C=complex bursting dynamics, and OS=oscillator suppression). These results have implications for neuroscience and other biological fields.     

The validities of centrifugal sudden approximations in chemical reaction dynamics

In this review article, we discuss and analyze the validities of centrifugal sudden (CS) approximations in chemical reactions, with emphasis on the recent progress in the comparison studies of close‐coupling and CS approximations in chemical dynamics both adiabatically and nonadiabatically. All these relevant studies are performed using the time‐dependent wave packet approach, focusing on several typical and benchmark chemical reactions, for example, the triatomic adiabatic ion–molecule reactions of Ne + , He + HeH⁺, O⁺ + H₂, O⁺ + D₂, and O⁺ + HD, the triatomic nonadiabatic reactions of N + NH and O + N₂, and the tetraatomic and polyatomic adiabatic reactions of H₂ + D₂ and H + CHD₃. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

建立反应速率方程的新方法

对于有一定级数的反应,不论反应级数是几,建立反应速率方程时都可以用非线性拟合法来完成。该方法分为两步。第一步,初次对实验数据进行非线性拟合,从而得到反应级数;第二步,借助已得到的反应级数再次对实验数据进行非线性拟合,从而得到反应速率常数。与传统建立反应速率方程的方法相比较,非线性拟合法不仅简单易操作,而且处理结果准确、图线美观大方。     

Chemical reaction dynamics of PeCB and TCDD decomposition: A tight‐binding quantum chemical molecular dynamics study with first‐principles parameterization

The decomposition reaction dynamics of 2,3,4,4′,5‐penta‐chlorinated biphenyl (2,3,4,4′,5‐PeCB), 3,3′,4,4′,5‐penta‐chlorinated biphenyl (3,3′,4,4′,5‐PeCB), and 2,3,7,8‐tetra‐chlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxin (2,3,7,8‐TCDD) was clarified for the first time at atomic and electronic levels, using our novel tight‐binding quantum chemical molecular dynamics method with first‐principles parameterization. The calculation speed of our new method is over 5000 times faster than that of the conventional first‐principles molecular dynamics method. We confirmed that the structure, energy, and electronic states of the above molecules calculated by our new method are quantitatively consistent with those by first‐principles calculations. After the confirmation of our methodology, we investigated the decomposition reaction dynamics of the above molecules and the calculated dynamic behaviors indicate that the oxidation of the 2,3,4,4′,5‐PeCB, 3,3′,4,4′,5‐PeCB, and 2,3,7,8‐TCDD proceeds through an epoxide intermediate, which is in good agreement with the previous experimental reports and consistent with our static density functional theory calculations. These results proved that our new tight‐binding quantum chemical molecular dynamics method with first‐principles parameterization is an effective tool to clarify the chemical reaction dynamics at reaction temperatures. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Machine learning modelling of chemical reaction characteristics: yesterday,today, tomorrow

The synthesis of the desired chemical compound is the main task of synthetic organic chemistry. The predictions of reaction conditions and some important quantitative characteristics of chemical reactions as yield and reaction rate can substantially help in the development of optimal synthetic routes and assessment of synthesis cost. Theoretical assessment of these parameters can be performed with the help of modern machine-learning approaches, which use available experimental data to develop predictive models called quantitative or qualitative structure–reactivity relationship (QSRR) modelling. In the article, we review the state-of-the-art in the QSRR area and give our opinion on emerging trends in this field.     

Wavelet transform analysis of ab initio molecular dynamics simulation: application to core-excitation dynamics of BF3

We propose a novel analysis method of ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulation using a continuous wavelet transform (c-WT) technique. The c-WT technique, one of the time-frequency signal analysis methods, provides a clear view of the dynamical information in time developments. Combined with the auto-correlation function of velocity by AIMD simulation, c-WT analysis enables us to well understand dynamical distribution, such as the vibrational properties following a change of electronic structure in a molecular system. As a practical application, AIMD simulation of core-excited BF(3) (B1s --> 2a(2) (')) is illustrated. AIMD simulation leads to the change of vibrational motion as well as structural deformation by core-excitation. The c-WT analysis clarifies the relationship between structural deformation and the related significant vibrational modes in core-excitation within 50 fs.

Simple model for the instabilities in the aggregation of silica sols in a sol-gel process

A simple kinetic model based on the Prigogine's Brusselator model was used to explain some unstable non-linear oscillations found in the particle size profile of sols in a sol-gel process. These oscillations were explained, in some previous papers, by using the stability criterion from the non-linear irreversible thermodynamics; it is the excess entropy production that characterizes the stability of a system and the occurrence of new structures. In the solgel reaction considered here, one of the steps is auto-catalytic; this fact produces local gradients in the concentration of one of the chemical components, forming a wide variety of new unstable structures. With this model we obtained a relationship for the reaction constants that determines the unstable character of the reaction, and the dependence of the frequency of oscillations on the reactant concentrations. The dependence of the oscillation frequency on water and ethanol concentrations obtained from the experimental data, were well explained by using this model.     

Parametric Optimization of Digitally Controlled Nonlinear Reactor Dynamics using Zubov-like Functional Equations

The present work aims at the development of a systematic method to optimally choose the parameters of digitally controlled nonlinear reactor dynamics. In addition to traditional performance requirements for the controlled reactor dynamics such as stability, fast and smooth regulation, disturbance rejection, etc., optimality is requested with respect to a physically meaningful performance. The value of the performance index is analytically calculated via the solution of a Zubov-like functional equation and becomes explicitly parameterized by the digital controller parameters. A standard static optimization algorithm yields subsequently the optimal values of the above parameters. Within the proposed framework, stability region estimates are also provided through the solution of the above functional equation. Finally, a nonlinear chemical reactor example following Van de Vusse kinetics is used in order to illustrate the proposed parametric optimization method.

Elucidating collision induced dissociation products and reaction mechanisms of protonated uracil by coupling chemical dynamics simulations with tandem mass spectrometry experiments

In this study we have coupled mixed quantum‐classical (quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics) direct chemical dynamics simulations with electrospray ionization/tandem mass spectrometry experiments in order to achieve a deeper understanding of the fragmentation mechanisms occurring during the collision induced dissociation of gaseous protonated uracil. Using this approach, we were able to successfully characterize the fragmentation pathways corresponding to ammonia loss (m/z 96), water loss (m/z 95) and cyanic or isocyanic acid loss (m/z 70). Furthermore, we also performed experiments with isotopic labeling completing the fragmentation picture. Remarkably, fragmentation mechanisms obtained from chemical dynamics simulations are consistent with those deduced from isotopic labeling. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
