2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid in the Gas and Crystal Phases and Its Intercalation in Montmorillonite—An Experimental and Theoretical Study by Claro Ignacio Sainz-Díaz, Nelly L. Jorge, Jorge M. Romero, André Grand, Alfonso Hernández-Laguna

“…Many properties of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) depend on its molecular environment, such as whether it is an isolated molecule, a dimer, or in a crystalline state. The molecular geometry, conformational analysis, and vibrational spectrum of 2,4-D were theoretically calculated using Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods. …”

A Structural Model of Truncated Gaussia princeps Luciferase Elucidating the Crucial Catalytic Function of No.76 Arginine towards Coelenterazine Oxidation. by Nan Wu, Zhi-Chao Xu, Kai-Dong Du, Shen Huang, Naohiro Kobayashi, Yutaka Kuroda, Yan-Hong Bai

“…Both intramolecular electron transfer and the convergence of S1/S0 potential energy surfaces occurred in the last elementary reaction, which was regarded as the reported Chemically-Initiated-Electron-Exchange-Luminescence (CIEEL) reaction. Geometry and wavefunction analysis on the pathway indicated that R76 plays a vital role in CTZ oxidation, which first anchors the environmental oxygen molecule and induces it to form a singlet biradical state, facilitating its attack on CTZ. …”

Reflections on the role of chemical osmosis mechanisms on the long-term behavior of a collapsed salt cavity by Ledoux, Emmanuel, Hertz, Emmanuel, Robinet, Jean-Charles, Combes, Pierre

“…Recent work on chemical osmosis in clay media, motivated by research on the geological storage of nuclear waste in a clay layer, raises questions about the role of this mechanism on the long-term behavior of the system.Based on a bibliographical approach, the article presents a brisk synthesis of the theory of chemical osmosis and discusses its application to the case of clayey rocks which can constitute imperfect membranes capable of generating osmotic pressures.First, the article presents the equations representing the flow of the fluid and the solute transport according to a simplified formulation adapted to the geometry of the system. It then proposes a set of plausible parameters making it possible to carry out a steady-state modeling of the transfers along the collapsed chimney by means of a numerical resolution in finite differences. …”
