Lattice Distortion in Hollow Multi-Shelled Structures for Efficient Visible-Light CO2 Reduction with a SnS2/SnO2 Junction

Precise control of the micro-/nanostructures of nanomaterials, such as hollow multi-shelled structures (HoMSs), has shown its great advantages in various applications. Now, the crystal structure of building blocks of HoMSs are controlled by introducing the lattice distortion in HoMSs, for the first time. The lattice distortion located at the nanoscale interface of SnS₂/SnO₂ can provide additional active sites, which not only provide the catalytic activity under visible light but also improve the separation of photoexcited electron–hole pairs. Combined with the efficient light utilization, the natural advantage of HoMSs, a record catalytic activity was achieved in solid–gas system for CO₂ reduction, with an excellent stability and 100 % CO selectivity without using any sensitizers or noble metals.     

Comparative study of free energies of solvation of phenylimidazole inhibitors of cytochrome P450cam by free energy simulation,AMSOL, and Poisson Boltzmann methods

Free energies of solvation of phenylimidazole inhibitors of cytochrome P450cam were determined using (1) free energy simulation, (2) AMSOL-SM2 semiempirical methods, and (3) Poisson-Boltzmann methods. The goals of this study were threefold: (1) to compare the results obtained from the three different methods, (2) to investigate the effect of inclusion of intraperturbed group interactions on free energy simulation estimates of solvation free energy differences, and (3) to investigate to what extent differences in free energies of solvation among three of these inhibitors could account for observed differences in their enzyme binding free energies. In general, relative solvation free energies obtained from the free energy simulations and AMSOL-SM2 methods give comparable results (i.e., the same rank ordering and similar quantitative results, differing significantly from results obtained using Poisson-Boltzmann methods). The free energy simulation studies suggest that the neglect of intraperturbed group interactions had little effect on rank order of free energies of solvation of the polar phenylimidazoles. The relative desolvation free energies of the three inhibitors of P450cam—1-phenylimidazole (1-PI), 2-phenylimidazole (2-PI), and 4-phenylimidazole (4-PI)—with known enzyme bound X-ray structures parallel that of their known binding affinities and could account for most of the differences in the free energies of binding of these three inhibitors to P450cam. The origin of the difference of the free energies of solution of these three inhibitors is primarily the additional interaction between solvent and N(SINGLE BOND)H group in the imidazole ring of 2- and 4-phenylimidazole that is absent in the 1-phenylimidazole isomer. This hypothesis is substantiated by a second comparison of the relative solvation free energies of 4-phenylimidazole with its methylated derivative, 3-methyl-4-phenylimidazole, also lacking an N(SINGLE BOND)H group. © 1996 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

MODELLING OF WAVE PROPAGATION IN THE NEARSHORE REGION USING THE MILD SLOPE EQUATION WITH GMRES-BASED ITERATIVE SOLVERS

The mild slope equation in its linear and non-linear forms is used for the modelling of nearshore wave propagation. The finite difference method is used to descretize the governing elliptic equations and the resulting system of equations is solved using GMRES-based iterative method. The original GMRES solution technique of Saad and Schultz is not directly applicable to the present case owing to the complex coefficient matrix. The simpler GMRES algorithm of Walker and Zhou is used as the core solver, making the upper Hessenberg factorization unneccessary when solving the least squares problem. Several preconditioning-based acceleration strategies are tested and the results show that the GMRES-based iteration scheme performs very well and leads to monotonic convergence for all the test-cases considered.     

On the Low-frequency Asymptotic Expansion for some Second-order Elliptic Systems in a Two-dimensional Exterior Domain

We derive the low-frequency asymptotic expansion of the exterior boundary value problems in two dimensions for second-order elliptic system concerning the theory of elastostatics. As an application of our result, the rate of the local energy decay of solutions of the initial boundary value problem for the corresponding dynamical system is discussed.

Spectroscopic and quantum-chemical study of molecular interactions of iso-quinolinium ylids in polar solutions

Abstract

Three iso-quinolinium ylids are studied by visible electron absorption spectroscopy from the point of view of their interactions with solvent molecules. The quantum mechanical calculations with Spartan 14 Program and solvatochromism of the intramolecular charge transfer visible absorption band of the studied molecules emphasized the prevalence of universal orientation-induction interactions in aprotic solvents and additionally the presence of hydrogen bond between the ylid molecules and the hydroxyl groups of the solvent molecules. The contribution of each type of interactions in the studied solutions is finally established by a multilinear regression applied to solvatochromic data.
