Radicalization and Radical Catalysis of Biomass Sugars: Insights from First-principles Studies

Ab initio and density functional calculations are conducted to investigate the radicalization processes and radical catalysis of biomass sugars. Structural alterations due to radicalization generally focus on the radicalized sites, and radicalization affects H-bonds in D-fructofuranose more than in...
