چکیده
Two-point hydrogen bonding between acid and base functionalities provides a convenient method for the modular assembly of proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) networks, especially when that interface comprises an amidinium and two-point anionic partner; a system is presented that permits the proton configuration within the interface to be determined when pK(a) values of the conjugate acids are known.

Comparative PCET study of a donor-acceptor pair linked by ionized and nonionized asymmetric hydrogen-bonded interfaces.
A Zn(II) amidinium porphyrin is the excited-state electron donor (D) to a naphthalene diimide acceptor (A) appended with either a carboxylate or sulfonate functionality. The two-point hydrogen bond (...[H(+)]...) formed between the amidinium and carboxylate or sulfonate functionalities establishes a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) pathway for charge transfer. The two D...[H(+)]...A asse...
متن کاملProton transfer in nucleobases is mediated by water.
Water plays a central role in chemistry and biology by mediating the interactions between molecules, altering energy levels of solvated species, modifying potential energy profiles along reaction coordinates, and facilitating efficient proton transport through ion channels and interfaces. This study investigates proton transfer in a model system comprising dry and microhydrated clusters of nucl...
متن کاملPlasma diagnostics by means of the scattering of electrons and proton beams
Scattering of energetic electron and proton beams by cold matter is significantly different from the scattering of these particles by plasma, which may be either highly ionized or dense strongly coupled plasma. This is due to the difference in the shielding of the target nuclei between the two cases. Quantitatively, we treat the problem by means of the Bethe Moliere multiple scattering theory a...
متن کاملEffects of ionization on stability of 1-methylcytosine — DFT and PCM studies
Consequences of ionization were studied by quantum-chemical methods (DFT and PCM) for 1-methylcytosine (MC)-a model of the nucleobase cytosine (C) connected with sugar in DNA. For calculations, three prototropic tautomers (one amino and two imino forms) and two imino zwitterions were considered, including conformational or configurational isomerism of exo heterogroups. Ionization and interactio...
متن کاملComputational Chemistry of Anthracene (PAH) Removal by SWNT Nano-filters: DFT
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (such as, anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene and so on) are non-polar, hydrophobic compounds, which are not ionized. They are only slightly soluble in water. They are very dangerous compounds in the environment. The single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) is used for removal and conversion of anthracene to low-risk products. In this study, electron transfer between anthrac...
