• Complex Vibrational Analysis of an Antiferroelectric Liquid Crystal Based on Solid-State Oriented Quantum Chemical Calculations and Experimental Molecular Spectroscopy

  The experimental and theoretical vibrational spectroscopic study of one of a novel antiferroelectric liquid crystals (AFLC), known under the MHPSBO10 acronym, have been undertaken. The interpretation of both FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra was focused mainly on the solid-state data. To analyze the experi more

• Theoretical investigation of the Anti-Parkinson drug rasagiline and its salts: conformations and infrared spectra

  The conformational analysis of rasagiline [N-propargyl-1(R)-aminoindan] was performed by the density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP method using the 6–31++G (d,p) basis set. A single point energy calculations based on the B3LYP optimized geometries were also performed at MP2/6-31++G (d, p) level. The more

• Semiempirical Quantum Mechanical Method PM6-DH2X Describes the Geometry and Energetics of CK2-Inhibitor Complexes Involving Halogen Bonds Well, While the Empirical Potential Fails

  In the present study, we have investigated complexes of CK2 protein kinase with halogenated inhibitors by means of the advanced semiempirical quantum mechanical (SQM) PM6 method (called PM6-DH2X), which describes various types of noncovalent interactions including halogen bonding well. The PM6-DH2X more

• China Lithium Carbonate Industry Report, 2009-2010

  During 2004-2008, the global lithium carbonate market saw a stable growth. However, due to the financial crash in 2009, the market demand of lithium carbonate declined to 68,500 tons from 95,400 tons in 2008. Alongside with the economic recovery in 2010, the lithium carbonate demand from downstream more

• China Lithium Carbonate Industry Report, 2009

  Lithium carbonate has been widely applied not only in battery, glass, ceramics, chemicals, lubricants and pharmaceutical, etc industries, but also in synthetic rubber, dyes, semiconductor and most advanced industries. The global lithium carbonate market has an exceedingly high concentration degree. more
