Based on conceptual density functional theory, two new descriptors, the normalized atom-condensed Fukui functions (NFFs) and bond deformation kernel (BDK), are proposed to describe the O-H stretching frequency shifts in water halide-ion clusters by including local polarizations in the system. NFF, along with BDK, can be successfully used to describe interactions between different atoms, especially in cases where polarizations are quite important.

To consistently determine the anomalous characteristics of phthalic acid crystal (PAC) derivatives, we performed quantum dynamics simulations of the infrared spectral density of the h-PAC and d-PAC isotopomers that show up in the H/D isotopic frequency domain at two different temperatures viz. 77 and 298 K. A theoretical framework explaining the dynamical cooperative interactions within the hydrogen bonds (HBs) in the PAC crystals across a simulation of IR spectral density of the stretching band was developed.

Bacterial levans are biopolymers composed of fructose units linked by β-2,6 glycosidic bonds that are degradable, nontoxic and flexible, representing a green technology with significant applications across various industries. Fermented soybeans are a common source of bacteria-producing polysaccharides. In this study, KKSB4, KKSB6 and KKSB7 isolated from traditionally fermented soybean (Thua-nao), along with strain 5.

Cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer on Earth, is biodegradable, nontoxic, and derived from renewable sources. Its properties and applications depend on the extraction methods and sources, making plant waste reuse a sustainable production option. This study aimed to assess the potential of cowpea pod skin () as a source of microcellulose (CPMC) using a chemical-mechanical process involving ball milling combined with acid hydrolysis.

Pyruvic acid is an omnipresent compound in nature and is found both in the gas phase and in the particle phase of the atmosphere as well as in aqueous solution in the hydrosphere. Despite much literature on the photochemical degradation and stability of pyruvic acid in different chemical environments, the study of simultaneous interactions between gas-phase pyruvic acid or similar carboxylic acids with water and ions is not well-understood. Here, we present a study of microhydrated molecular clusters containing pyruvic acid and the structurally analogous carboxylic acids lactic acid, propionic acid, and 2,2-dihydroxypropanoic acid by probing geometries, binding free energies, hydrate distributions, as well as their infrared (IR) absorption spectra.
