OO bond homolysis in hydrogen peroxide (H O ) has been studied using theoretical methods of four conceptually different types: hybrid DFT (B3LYP, M06-2X), double-hybrid DFT (B2-PLYP), coupled-cluster (CCSD(T)), and multiconfigurational (CASPT2). In addition, the effects of basis set size have also been analyzed. For all of these methods, the OO bond homolysis in hydrogen peroxide has been found to proceed through hydrogen bonded radical pair complexes. Reaction barriers for collapse of the radical pairs to hydrogen peroxide are minute, leading to an overall very flat potential energy surface. However, hydrogen bonding energies in the radical pair complex expressed as the energy difference to two separate hydroxyl radicals are sizeable and exceed 10 kJ/mol for all theoretical methods considered in this study. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This research investigated the relationship between microplastic accumulation and the sediment texture in seagrass meadows across the selected coastal regions of Tuticorin. Sixteen sediment samples were collected by SCUBA divers utilizing a stainless steel grab sampler. Findings indicate significantly elevated microplastic concentrations in seagrass sediments when compared to unvegetated areas.

Purpose: To compare the color alteration, surface roughness and microhardness and cross-sectional microhardness of bovine enamel treated with at-home whitening strips and gels.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-six pigmented specimens (n = 11) were allocated to six groups: C-cotton wool moistened with distilled water for 1 h; SDS-sodium dithionite strip, for 1 h; HPS-6.5% hydrogen peroxide strip, for 1 h; CPS-20% carbamide peroxide strip, for 1 h; HPG-7.

This research was conducted to determine the relationship between plant defense responses and the extent of treatment applied to either the aerial parts or roots of the plant. The experimental treatments included different methods of application (spraying versus soil drenching), varying treatment areas (one-sixth, one-third, half, or all of the plant's aerial parts and roots) with SA, and infecting the plants with root-knot nematodes. Evaluation of plant growth and nematode pathogenicity indices in the greenhouse section, HO accumulation rate, and phenylalanine ammonia lyase enzyme activity (in aerial parts and roots) were carried out in biochemical experiments.

Photo-oxidation of methane (CH) using hydrogen peroxide (HO) synthesized in situ from air and water under sunlight offers an attractive route for producing green methanol while storing intermittent solar energy. However, in commonly used aqueous-phase systems, photocatalysis efficiency is severely limited due to the ultralow availability of CH gas and HO intermediate at the flooded interface. Here, we report an atomically modified metal-organic framework (MOF) membrane nanoreactor that promotes direct CH photo-oxidation to methanol at the gas-solid interface in a reticular open framework.
