The Fluid Mosaic Model

149.2K
The fluid mosaic model was first proposed as a visual representation of research observations. The model comprises the composition and dynamics of membranes and serves as a foundation for future membrane-related studies. The model depicts the structure of the plasma membrane with a variety of components, which include phospholipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. These integral molecules are loosely bound, defining the cell’s border and providing fluidity for optimal function.

¹³C NMR: Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT)

1.1K
When proton-coupled carbon-13 spectra are simplified by a broadband proton decoupling technique, structural information about the coupled protons is lost. Distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) is a technique that provides information on the number of hydrogens attached to each carbon in a molecule. While the DEPT experiment utilizes complex pulse sequences, the pulse delay and flip angle are specifically manipulated. The resulting signals have different phases depending on...

Potential Due to a Polarized Object

443
A neutral atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. When placed in an external electric field, the external electric force pulls the electrons and nucleus apart, opposite to the intrinsic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. The opposing forces balance each other with a slight shift between the center of masses of the nucleus and the electron cloud, resulting in a polarized atom. On the other hand, a few molecules, like water,...

Discrete-time Fourier transform

395
The Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT) is an essential mathematical tool for analyzing discrete-time signals, converting them from the time domain to the frequency domain. This transformation allows for examining the frequency components of discrete signals, providing insights into their spectral characteristics. In the DTFT, the continuous integral used in the continuous-time Fourier transform is replaced by a summation to accommodate the discrete nature of the signal.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Chemistry
  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Theoretical Chemistry

Background:

  • Traditional Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory (DFT) struggles with ground-state properties of gas-phase nanomolecules possessing multi-reference character.
  • Thermally Assisted-Occupation Density Functional Theory (TAO-DFT) has emerged as a superior alternative for gas-phase calculations of such systems.
  • Understanding solvation effects is crucial for accurately predicting molecular properties in realistic chemical environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of solvation on the ground-state properties of nanomolecules with multi-reference character.
  • To develop a computationally efficient method combining TAO-DFT with solvation models.
  • To assess the predictive capability of the new method for electronic properties of linear acenes in various solvents.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of TAO-DFT with the Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM) to create the TAO-PCM approach.
  • Application of TAO-PCM to calculate the electronic properties of linear acenes.
  • Simulation of acenes in three distinct solvents: toluene, chlorobenzene, and water.

Main Results:

  • The TAO-PCM method successfully predicted electronic properties of linear acenes across different solvents.
  • Smaller acenes exhibited nonradical character in solution.
  • Larger acenes displayed increasing polyradical character in the presence of solvents, mirroring gas-phase findings.

Conclusions:

  • The developed TAO-PCM method offers a computationally inexpensive yet accurate way to study solvation effects on nanomolecules.
  • Solvation does not fundamentally alter the electronic characteristics (radical character) of linear acenes compared to their gas-phase behavior.
  • TAO-PCM is a promising tool for exploring the electronic structure of complex molecules in solution.
