Electronic structure effects on the double proton transfer reactions: a case study for substituted formic acid dimer by Mokshi Sharma, Princy Jarngal, Nayan Prakash, Dhiksha Sharma, Subrata Banik, Tapta Kanchan Roy

“…Motivated by the fact that the modifications in the electron densities of the system significantly affect the proton transfer process and reaction barrier, the topology of the reactions is investigated by perturbing the electronic environment by substituting the terminal hydrogens attached to the carbon atoms of FAD with electron-donating (ed-) and withdrawing (ew-) groups. The variations in the electronic structure along the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) are examined and compared for three systems: FAD, ed-FAD, and ew-FAD. …”
