Evaporation-induced Morphology Pattern of Triblock Copolymer A5B10C5 in Thin Film： a Multibody DPD Simulation Study

We used multibody dissipative particle dynamics method,by which the attractive and repulsive interactions can be effectively considered,to investigate the evaporation-induced morphology patterns of triblock copolymer A5B10C5 in thin film.With changing attractive interactions between solvent vapor and triblock copolymer that represent various selective solvents,lamellar morphology,sandwich lamellar morphology,spherical morphology and disorder morphology patterns of the thin films were obtained for both coil-coil-coil and rod-coil-coil chain architectures,respectively.The order parameter and the film thickness were calculated during the process for characterizing the film properties,and it was found that the rigid A-block of the triblock copolymer hinders the formation of an ordered structure.

Theoretical study on the reaction of CN radicals with ClO radicals by density functional theory

The reaction mechanism of CN radicals with ClO radicals has been studied theoretically using ab initio and density functional theory(DFT).The result shows that the main reaction path is the O atom in radical ClO attacks the C atom in radical CN to compose the intermediate 1 ClOCN.Three thermodynamically accessible prodncts,P1(CO+ClN),P3(NO+CCl),and P4(ClNCO),were obtained from intermediate 1 through isomerization and decomposition reactions.P4 is the primary product,and P1 and P3 are the secondary product.Compared with the singlet potential energy surface,the contribution of the triplet potential energy surface can be ignored.

Electronic properties and stabilities of methoxy-substituted Lindqvist polyoxometalates [Nb_2W_4O_(19)CH_3]^(3-) by DFT

The electronic properties and stabilities of five [Nb2W4O18OCH3]3-isomers have been investigated using a density functional theory method.The results show that the isomer with the methoxy group occupying a bridging position between two tungsten atoms(two tungsten atoms in the plane that contains two niobium atoms) in the [Nb2W4O18OCH3]3-framework is the most stable isomer in acetonitrile.The stability of the one-electron-reduced isomers changes little.The most stable one-electron-reduced isomer has the methoxy group occupying a bridging position between niobium atoms in the [Nb2W4O18OCH3]4-framework.The M-Ob(M = Nb,W;b denotes bridging) bond lengths in anions in which the metal atoms are connected by a methoxy group are longer than those in [Nb2W4O19]4-.The highest occupied molecular orbitals(HOMO) in [Nb2W4O19]4-mainly delocalize over the bridging oxygen atoms of two niobium atoms and two tungsten atoms located in the equatorial plane,and the bridging oxygen atoms on the axial surface.The lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals(LUMO) of [Nb2W4O19]4-are mainly concentrated on the tungsten atoms and antibonding oxygen atoms.Methoxy substitution modifies the electronic properties of the [Nb2W4O18OCH3]3-isomers.The HOMOs in the five isomers formally delocalize over the bridging oxygen atoms,which are distant from the surface containing the methoxy group and four metal atoms.The LUMOs delocalize over the d-shells of the four metal atoms that are close to the methoxy group,and the p-orbitals of oxygen.One-electron reduction occurred at the tungsten atoms,not the niobium atoms.

Theoretical study of the P-Ylide reaction in the carbon nanotube

Recent studies have shown that the inner phase of carbon nanotubes(CNTs) can not only change the properties of molecules inside the tube,but also enhance or restrain the SN2 reactions.Thus,the CNTs can be considered a form of solid solvent.In this paper,we study the [2+2] cycloaddition reaction between CH2O and PH3CH2 in the gas phase,benzene solution and inner phase of CNT using the density functional theory(DFT).The results indicate that the inner phase of CNT has little effect on the [2+2] cycloaddition reaction.This can be explained as that while taking the linear arrangement for SN2 reaction,the reactants do not possess the axial symmetry for the studied [2+2] cycloaddition reaction.Therefore,although the CNT has large axial polarizability,it can exert little influence on the [2+2] cycloaddition reaction.Our studies will be helpful for further understanding of the inner phase chemistry of CNTs.

PbCNN:A molecule containing Pb≡C bonding

In order to predict potential molecules with Pb≡C bonding, we investigated the potential energy sur-face of a tetra-atomic system [PbCN2] at the CCSD(T)//B3LYP level. We found that the linear isomer PbCNN possesses good thermodynamic and kinetic stability. The combined molecular orbital analysis, hydrogenation heat, bond energy and bond dissociation energy all proved that PbCNN is composed of Pb≡ C triple bonding.

Theoretical studies of interaction models of human acetylcholine esterase with different inhibitors

Alzheimer's disease(AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and one of the most common causes of dementia in the elderly.Acetylcholine esterase inhibitors(AChEI) are the main drugs used in the treatment of AD.In this work,docking studies have been performed in order to understand the interaction between a number of inhibitors(tacrine,rivastigmine,huperzine A,TV-3326(ladostigil),donepezil and anseculin) and acetylcholine esterase(AChE).The calculated binding affinities between inhibitors and AChE increase in the order tacrine<rivastigmine<huperzine A<TV-3326<donepezil<anseculin,which reflects the experimental inhibitory activity expressed in terms of the half maximal inhibitory concentration(the IC50 value).Of the above inhibitors,anseculin is the most useful drug for the treatment of dementia.

A molecular dynamics and computational study of human KAT3 involved in KYN pathway

Kynurenine aminotransferases （KATs） catalyze the transamination of kynurenine （KYN） pathway and endogenous KYNs have been suggested to highly correlate to abnormal brain diseases. HKAT3 is a key member of KAT family, while the binding mechanism of KYN and cofactor with HKAT3 has not been determined yet. In this study, we focus on the structure-function relationship among KYN, cofactor and HKAT3. The binding models of KYN complex and KYN＆cofactor complex were ob- tained and were studied by molecular dynamics （MD） simulations. We identified several critical residues and influence of conformational changes in human kynurenine aminotransferase 3 （HKAT3） complexes. The cofactor may contribute largely not only to the catalysis, but also to the binding. In addition, a hypothesis is proposed that a strong hydrophobic interaction between Tyr159 and Lys280 may influence the binding mode and the binding region of the substrate and the cofactor. Our re- suits will be a good starting point for further determination of the biological role.
