Tandem mass spectrometry provides information on the dissociation pathways of gas-phase ions by providing a link between product ions and parent ions. However, there exists a distinct possibility that a parent ion does not dissociate directly to the observed product ion, but that the reaction proceeds through unobserved reaction intermediates. This work describes the discovery and kinetic analy...

The intercalation compounds of layered dichalcogenides MX2 (M = transition metal, X = S, Se) with Lewis base guest molecules have received considerable attention due to their interesting physical properties and structural anisotropy [1]. The most simple molecule that is known to intercalate is the thermodynamically stable compound NH3; extensive work has been devoted to the characterization of ...

The normal intersurface forces between nanosized probe tips functionalized with COO-- and NH3+-terminated alkanethiol self-assembling monolayers and dense polycrystalline phase pure synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) were measured via a powerful nanomechanical technique called chemically specific high-resolution force spectroscopy. The data taken on approach of the probe tip to the HA surface was co...

The binding energy and Thermodynamic Parameters of cis- Platinum Di Ammino Chlorine (cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl]+) and trans- Platinum Di Ammino Chlorine (trans- [Pt(NH3)2Cl]+) complexes withGuanine has been studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations in water. The bindingenergies (Ebin) of cis- and trans-[Pt(NH3)2ClG]+ are calculated to be 79.38 kcal/mol and 74.98kcal/mol, respectively. The b...

Studies show that agricultural and animal feeding operations (AFOs) contribute a considerable amount of ammonia (NH3) to the atmosphere. Agricultural NH3 emissions are recognized as an important air quality issue. Biological decomposition of manure from dairy operations results in emissions of NH3 and other gases. There is a need to determine NH3 emission factors (EFs) to compile annual NH3 inv...

Gas mixture of H2S and NH3 in this study has been the focus in the research area concerning gases generated from the animal husbandry and the anaerobic wastewater lagoons used for their treatment. A specific microflora (mixture of Thiobacillus thioparus CH11 for H2S and Nitrosomonas europaea for NH3) was immobilized with Ca-alginate and packed inside a glass column to decompose H2S and NH3. The...

Ammonium aminodiboranate ([NH4 ][BH3 NH2 BH3 ]) is a long-sought isomer of diammoniate of diborane ([NH3 BH2 NH3 ][BH4 ]) and ammonia borane (NH3 BH3 ) dimer. Our results show that [NH4 ][BH3 NH2 BH3 ] is stable in tetrahydrofuran at -18 °C and decomposes rapidly to NH3 BH2 NH2 BH3 and H2 at elevated temperatures. The decomposition pathway is dictated by the dihydrogen bonding between H(δ+) on ...

the binding energy and thermodynamic parameters of cis- platinum di ammino chlorine (cis-[pt(nh3)2cl]+) and trans- platinum di ammino chlorine (trans- [pt(nh3)2cl]+) complexes withguanine has been studied by density functional theory (dft) calculations in water. the bindingenergies (ebin) of cis- and trans-[pt(nh3)2clg]+ are calculated to be 79.38 kcal/mol and 74.98kcal/mol, respectively. the b...

we have performed density functional theory investigations on the adsorption properties of ammonia molecule on the undoped and n-doped tio2 anatase nanoparticles. we have geometrically optimized the constructed undoped and n-doped nanoparticles in order to fully understand the adsorption behaviors of ammonia molecule. for tio2 anatase nanoparticles, the binding site is preferentially located on...

Ammonia (NH3) is a key precursor species to atmospheric fine particulate matter with strong implications for regional air quality and global climate change. NH3 from vehicles accounts for a significant fraction of total emissions of NH3 in urban areas. A mobile platform is developed to measure NH3, CO, and CO2 from the top of a passenger car. The mobile platform conducted 87 h of on-road measur...
