    Abstract: A new and useful method for evaluating and predicting the critical pressures (Pc) of n-fatty acids and triglycerides was developed in this study. Logarithmic equations which required critical temperature (Tc) and normal boiling temperature (Tb) were proposed for the fatty acids and their corresponding triglycerides. The method predicted with good a... Show More

    Abstract: Computational investigation on the ground state properties of trans-azobenzene and four kinds of hydroxy-ended azobenzene-type chromophores containing different substituent groups as electron donor and acceptor in different solvent media was carried out. The effects ofsubstituents –I2, -OH- and -CH3, -NH2, and –Cl2 on the electronic properties like... Show More

    Abstract: Gaseous lithium complex hydrides Li2MH5 (M = B, Al) have been studied using DFT/B3P86 and MP2 methods with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. High content of hydrogen by these materials accord them with good candidacy as a class of hydrogen storage materials. The optimized geometrical parameters, vibrational spectra and thermodynamic properties of the hydrid... Show More
