Electronic structure of paramagnetic transition metal complexes by Al-Ameed, K

“…Mössbauer spectroscopy, however, suggests that the Fe centres preferentially occupy the central site while Ni goes to the peripheral positions. The distribution of metal ions across sites of different coordination geometry is a fundamental problem in inorganic chemistry (the text-book example is the spinel family) and we show here that the ligand-field stabilisation energy available to Ni^II dominates the site distribution. …”

Tailoring Metal–Organic Frameworks for Water Harvesting by Oppenheim, Julius Jacob

“…Water sorbents enable technologies that have the potential to mediate water insecurity, meet an increasing energy demand, and push towards sustainability. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are candidate sorbents for such technologies as a direct result of their inherent chemical modularity – facilitating the use of MOF sorbents to adsorb over a large range of relative humidity (RH). …”

Computational studies of mechanisms underlying the reactions of enzymatic and nonenzymatic systems by Xu, Kai

“…The hybrid quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics (QM/MM) method that exploits the advantages of both quantum mechanics (QM) and molecular mechanics (MM) methods is a promising tool to gain detailed insights into complex systems such as enzymes and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Herein, QM/MM calculations are applied to three enzyme systems (cytochrome P450 Family 19 Subfamily A Member 1 (CYP19A1), heme oxygenase (HO), and Mo-Cu carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (MoCu CODH)) and one MOF (Cu-PDW) system, to elucidate the reaction mechanisms involved therein. …”

Macrobrachium rosenbergii De Man nodavirus recombinant capsid protein production and its interactions with RNA by Goh, Zee Hong

“…In 2012 the major farming areas in Malaysia were found to be infected by MrNv but till now information on the Malaysian isolate MrNv is still unavailable in the NCBI database and studies of this newly emerged member of the Nodaviridae family were not in depth. Studies on the other members of the Nodaviridae family revealed that the RNA binding site is important for virus assembly and removal of this region inhibits the virus maturation. …”
