High level ab initio methods are employed to study the addition of methanol to the simplest Criegee intermediates and its methylated analogue. Kinetic rate constants over a range of temperatures are computed and compared to experimental results.

The thermodynamic stability of twenty-nine Fe(III) complexes with various deprotonated forms of lipoic (LA) and dihydrolipoic (DHLA) acids, with coordination numbers 4, 5 and 6, is studied at the M06(SMD)/6-31++G(d,p) level of theory in water under physiological pH conditions at 298.15 K. Even though the complexes with LA- are more stable than those with DHLA−, the most thermodynamically stable Fe(III) complexes involve DHLA2−. The twenty-four exergonic complexes are used to evaluate the secondary antioxidant activity of DHLA and LA relative to the Fe(III)/Fe(II) reduction by O2•− and ascorbate. Rate constants for the single-electron transfer (SET) reactions are calculated. The thermodynamic stability of the Fe(III) complexes does not fully correlate with the rate constant of their SET reactions, but more exergonic complexes usually exhibit smaller SET rate constants. Some Cu(II) complexes and their reduction to Cu(I) are also studied at the same level of theory for comparison. The Fe(III) complexes appear to be more stable than their Cu(II) counterparts. Relative to the Fe(III)/Fe(II) reduction with ascorbate, DHLA can fully inhibit the formation of •OH radicals, but not by reaction with O2•−. Relative to the Cu(II)/Cu(I) reduction with ascorbate, the effects of DHLA are moderate/high, and with O2•− they are minor. LA has minor to negligible inhibition effects in all the cases considered.

From the invention of the Optical Tweezer (OT) in 1986, these devices have been considered as high-level tools for research in the areas such as biology and microbiology. A theoretical study obtaining equations for gradient and scattering forces that exert an OT when the illumination beam is a doughnut-shaped mode TEM∗01 linearly polarized is realized. This work focuses on the behavior of radiation forces on a dielectric sphere in the Rayleigh regime. In order to facilitate the phenomenological analysis of the behavior of the radiation forces a graphical user interface is created.
