In the study of rare events in complex systems with many degrees of freedom, a key element is to identify the reaction coordinates of a given process. Over recent years, a number of methods and protocols have been developed to extract the reaction coordinates based on limited information from molecular dynamics simulations. In this review, we provide a brief survey over a number of major methods developed in the past decade, some of which are discussed in greater detail, to provide an overview of the problems that are partially solved and challenges that still remain. A particular emphasis has been placed on methods for identifying reaction coordinates that are related to the committor.

Glyphosate (PMG) is a globally used broad-spectrum herbicide and receives environmental concerns because of its moderate persistence and potential carcinogenicity. Traditional PMG treatment methods often suffer from the generation of a more toxic and persistent aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) intermediate. Herein, we develop a green method with ferrihydrite (FH) and CaO (FH/CaO) via regulating the coordination of PMG with FH and Ca, where the phosphonate group of PMG preferentially binds to FH and its carboxylate side complexes with Ca released by CaO, forming a FH-PMG-Ca ternary surface complex.

Titanium (Ti)-based MOFs are promising materials known for their porosity, stability, diverse valence states, and a lower conduction band (CB) than Zr-MOFs. These features support stable ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) transitions under photoirradiation, enhancing photocatalytic performance. However, Ti-MOF structures remain a challenge owing to the highly volatile and hydrophilic nature of ionic Ti precursors.

Two novel 3D inorganic-organic hybrids based on [VO]/[VO] clusters, [Cu(bbpy)(VO)]·3HO () and [CuAg(pty)(VO)]·HO () (bbpy = 3,5-bis(1-benzimidazole) pyridine, pty = 4'-(4″-pyridyl)-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine), were isolated in the same POV/Cu/N-heterocycle ligand reaction systems. Hybrids and possess novel three-dimensional bimetallic frameworks derived from [VO]/[VO] clusters and Cu-organic complexes. In , bbpy ligands are grafted by Cu to a grid ribbon 2D sheet, which are connected with benzene-like [VO] to yield a 3D framework.
