Tetraiodine nonoxide (I4O9) has been synthesized using a dry approach that combines elemental oxygen and iodine without the introduction of hydrated species. The synthesis approach inhibits the topochemical effect promoting rapid hydration when exposed to the relative humidity of ambient air. This stable, amorphous, nano-particle material was analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and showed an exothermic energy release at low temperature (i.e., 180 °C) for the transformation of I4O9 into I2O5. This additional exothermic energy release contributes to an increase in overall reactivity of I4O9 when dry mixed with nano-aluminum (Al) powder, resulting in a minimum of 150% increase in flame speed compared to Al + I2O5. This study shows that as an oxidizer, I4O9 has more reactive potential than other forms of iodine(V) oxide when combined with Al, especially if I4O9 can be passivated to inhibit absorption of water from its surrounding environment.

To develop a green solvent for lignin dissolution, the most fundamental aspects of its mechanism must be elucidated. Understanding the thermodynamic behaviors is of significant importance for designing novel deep eutectic solvents (DESs) to dissolve lignin. Herein, the heat of dissolution of lignin in acidic, alkaline or neutral DESs was determined by high-precision solution microcalorimetry, and comprehensively investigated the effect of physicochemical properties of DESs on the heat of dissolution and solubility of lignin.

This article reports a theoretical study on the halogen exchange reactions YX + CHO → Y + XCHO (with Y = F, Cl, Br; X = Cl, Br, I) carried out at a high level of accuracy using coupled-cluster based methodologies including CCSD(T)-F12, CCSD(T)/CBS and CCSDT(Q). Most of the reactions are exothermic at room temperature, with the exception of the reactions FI + CHO → F + ICHO and ClI + CHO → Cl + ICHO. Exothermicity follows two concurrent trends established by the strength of the bonds being cleaved and formed: Y = F < Cl < Br (X-Y bond strength) and X = Cl > Br > I (C-X bond strength).

Significant research efforts have been devoted to improving the efficiency of catalytic carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation over α-FeO-based catalysts, but details of the underlying mechanism are still under debate. Here we apply the thermodynamic method (AITM) within the density functional theory framework to investigate the phase diagram of α-FeO(0001) surfaces with various terminations and the catalytic mechanism of CO oxidation on these surfaces. By extending the conventional AITM to consider the charge state of surface defects, we build the phase diagram of α-FeO(0001) surfaces in relation to the Fermi energy as well as the oxygen chemical potential, which makes it possible to explain the influence of point defects on the surface morphology and to predict the existence of the experimentally observed functional sites such as the ferryl group (FeO) and oxygen vacancies.

Within the framework of classical density functional theory, the isosteric heat and condensation/evaporation heat of the confined methane are studied. First, the theoretical expression for condensation/evaporation heat is derived on the basis of the first law of thermodynamics. The method for computation is also proposed.
