Dynamic Equilibrium02:20

Dynamic Equilibrium

62.4K
A reversible chemical reaction represents a chemical process that proceeds in both forward (left to right) and reverse (right to left) directions. When the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, the concentrations of the reactant and product species remain constant over time and the system is at equilibrium. A special double arrow is used to emphasize the reversible nature of the reaction. The relative concentrations of reactants and products in equilibrium systems vary greatly;...

Equation of Rotational Dynamics

14.8K
Angular variables are introduced in rotational dynamics. Comparing the definitions of angular variables with the definitions of linear kinematic variables, it is seen that there is a mapping of the linear variables to the rotational ones. Linear displacement, velocity, and acceleration have their equivalents in rotational motion, which are angular displacement, angular velocity, and angular acceleration. Similar to the rotational variables, a mapping exists from Newton's second law of motion...

Dynamics of Circular Motion

25.4K
An object undergoing circular motion, like a race car, is accelerating because it is changing the direction of its velocity. This centrally directed acceleration is called centripetal acceleration. This acceleration acts along the radius of the curved path (thus is also referred to as radial acceleration).
Any acceleration must be produced by some force. Therefore, any force or combination of forces can cause centripetal acceleration. A few examples include the tension in the rope on a...

Fermi Level Dynamics

707
The vacuum level denotes the energy threshold required for an electron to escape from a material surface. It is usually positioned above the conduction band of a semiconductor and acts as a benchmark for comparing electron energies within various materials.
Electron affinity in semiconductors refers to the energy gap between the minimum of its conduction band and the vacuum level and it is a critical parameter in determining how easily a semiconductor can accept additional electrons.

Induced-fit Model

89.1K
Most chemical reactions in cells require enzymes—biological catalysts that speed up the reaction without being consumed or permanently changed. They reduce the activation energy needed to convert the reactants into products. Enzymes are proteins, that usually work by binding to a substrate—a reactant molecule that they act upon.
Enzymes exhibit substrate specificity, meaning that they can only bind to certain substrates. This is mainly determined by the shape and chemical...

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells

2.7K
Different fluorescence-based techniques are used to study the protein dynamics in living cells. These techniques include FRAP, FRET, and PET.
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...

Area of Science:

  • Organic Chemistry
  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Asymmetric Catalysis

Background:

  • Development of novel ligands is crucial for advancing enantioselective catalysis.
  • Fluxional ligands offer unique opportunities for dynamic control in chemical reactions.
  • Amino acid-based recognition sites can impart specific stereochemical information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and synthesize a new class of fluxional biphenyl bisphosphinite (BIBIPHOS) ligands.
  • To investigate the spontaneous desymmetrization and supramolecular assembly of these ligands.
  • To evaluate the performance of Rh-BIBIPHOS catalysts in the asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral alkenes.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of BIBIPHOS ligands incorporating amino acid-based diamide functionalities.
  • Characterization of ligand desymmetrization and supramolecular assembly.
  • Asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral alkenes using Rh-BIBIPHOS complexes.

Main Results:

  • The designed BIBIPHOS ligands undergo spontaneous desymmetrization.
  • Hydrogenation of prochiral alkenes with Rh-BIBIPHOS yielded high enantiomeric ratios (up to 96:4 R/S).
  • Stereoconvergent catalysis was achieved through intermolecular interlocking and supramolecular assembly, governed by amino acid chirality.

Conclusions:

  • A robust supramolecular system was developed for enantioselective catalysis.
  • The fluxional BIBIPHOS ligand design demonstrates effective stereoinduction decoupled from ligand desymmetrization.
  • This approach holds potential for broader applications in asymmetric catalysis.
