Intermolecular Interactions in 3-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, N-Methyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane and 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane: Insights from Computational Abstract In this work, a computational spectroscopy approach was used to provide a complete assignment of the inelastic neutron scattering spectra of three title alkoxysilane derivatives—3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTS), N-methyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (MAPTS), and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). The simulated spectra obtained from density functional theory (DFT) calculations exhibit a remarkable…

Neutrons Used to Deep Dive into the Egyptian Blue Pigment

Uncovering the Secrets of Egyptian Blue Using Neutron Analysis New research on Egyptian Blue was recently featured on the “Science Highlights at ISIS” website. Researchers from CICECO and ISIS, led by Mariela Martins Nolasco and Mariana Coimbra, developed a new model of cuprorivaite (commonly known as Egyptian Blue) through a combination of experimental and computational…

Astroquímica: A Identificação de Moléculas pela Luz das Estrelas. Abstract Astrochemistry is the science that studies atoms, molecules and chemical reactions in outer space. Through Astrochemistry we now know that space is full of molecules and that many molecules on planet Earth were formed in outer space. Let’s discuss where and how molecules are formed…
