Reactivity of bridging Oxygens on the Pyrophyllite 110 and 1-10 edge faces

Lead Institution
Brigham Young University
Principal Investigator
Barry Bickmore
Project type
Exploratory Research
The structure and eactivity of clay edge surfaces is a fundamental importance for environmental chemistry. Various models have been proposed, but experimental evidence to distinguish between these…

Oxide Surface Structure and Acidity

Lead Institution
Brigham Young University
Principal Investigator
Barry Bickmore
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
If we are to understand interfacial geochemical reactions on a molecular scale and apply the insights we gain to field-scale modeling, we must find ways to integrate the results of molecular-scale…

Structure and reactivity of the basal and edge surfaces of gibbsite.

Lead Institution
Brigham Young University
Principal Investigator
Barry Bickmore
Project type
Exploratory Research
Density functional theory molecular orbital calculations will be used to compute the structures of various hypothetical protonated basal and edge surfaces of gibbsite. Computed bond length data will…
