Hydrogen bonds in guanine quartets: cooperative effects

The cooperative reinforcement between hydrogen bonds in Guanine quartets (G4) are not caused by resonance-assisted hydrogen bonding (RAHB). Extensive energy decomposition and Kohn-Sham MO and analyses by Fonseca Guerra (VU Amsterdam) et al. reveal that...

Water adsorption on graphene influenced by silica support

A combined experimental and theoretical study of Bermudez and Robinson (US Naval Research Laboratory) has shown that, although a silica support does not influence the band structure of single-layer graphene, it does influence how water...

Diels-Alder reactions with Ti2C2@C78, M3N@C78, and C78

In a recent paper in Chemistry – a European Journal researchers from Girona and LA have studied the Diels-Alder reactivity of the endohedral metallofullerene Ti2C2@C78. Functionalized fullerenes have potentially important applications in non-linear optics, molecular...
