Electrolysis is potentially a valuable tool for cleansing waste water. One might even hope that it is possible to synthesize valuable products in this way. The question is how the reaction conditions can be chosen to obtain ...

Ferrocenyl triflate (1) and 1,1′-ferrocenediyl ditriflate (5) undergo single and double anionic thia-Fries rearrangements at low temperatures in high yields with the latter forming exclusively the respective meso product. ...

Is a classical description of nuclear motion sufficient when describing chemical reactions and spectra? This question is interesting because many researchers use a classical description of nuclear motion in molecular ...

Using Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics we study the first reaction steps of the decomposition of a nitrogen-rich molecule and of a mixture of molecular oxygen and molecular hydrogen. Using the simulated-annealing approach ...

The assumption that nuclear motion is classical explains many phenomena. The problems of Schrödinger’s cat and the EPR paradoxon do not exist in a perfectly deterministic theory. All it needs is to describe nuclear motion ...
