In our study, we present an innovative method for the analysis and real-time monitoring of peracetic acid (PAA) formation within the near-UV/Vis (visible) wavelength region. PAA's absorption spectrum, influenced by its presence in a complex quaternary equilibrium mixture with hydrogen peroxide (HO), acetic acid, and water, lacks discernible peaks. This inherent complexity challenges conventional analytical techniques like Beer's law, which rely on absorption intensity as a foundation.

Clear cell type, Langerhans cell/non-calcified type, and cystic/microcystic are the three recently recognized histological subtypes of CEOT in the 5th edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Head and Neck Tumors. Almost 350-400 cases of CEOT have been reported in literature, accounting for less than 1% of the reported cases of odontogenic tumors.

However, the SO + HCl reaction in the gas-phase and at the air-water interface has not been considered. Herein, this reaction was explored exhaustively by using high-level quantum chemical calculations and Born Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD) simulations.

The calculated results show that when HO is introduced into the HO + SO reaction, it not only enhances the stability of the reactant complexes by 9.0 kcal mol but also reduces the energy of the transition state by 8.

Herein, the reaction mechanisms and kinetics for the formation of NHSOH from the hydrolysis of HNSO without and with neutral (HO, (HO), and (HO)), basic (NH and CHNH), and acidic (HCOOH, HSO, HSO⋯HO, and (HSO)) catalysts were studied theoretically at the CCSD(T)-F12/cc-pVDZ-F12//M06-2X/6-311+G(2df,2pd) level. The calculated results showed that neutral, basic, and acidic catalysts decrease the energy barrier by over 18.
