According to molecular modehng (MM) calculations, quinine and quinidine preferentially adopt the syn-closed conformation in the gas phase (Figure 6.4). In apolar solvents, however, anti-open conformations are observed in NMR spectroscopy for both quinine and quinidine [13]. More advanced ah initio calculations revealed that the anti-open conformer is preferred in apolar solvents, whereas polar solvents favor the two closed conformers, syn-closed and anti-closed [14]. However, many other factors (such as intermolecular interactions) are likely to influence the complex conformational behavior of cinchona alkaloids in solution. In addition, protonation of the quinucUdine nitrogen atom is reported to hinder rotation about the C4-C9 and C8-C9 bonds [15].

During the last 40 years, computer-based computational methods, such as molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations, have evolved from advanced techniques accessible only to a few speciahsts, to standard calculation approaches available to both scientists and engineers. Similarly, numerical methods of solving the Schrodinger equation, implemented in computational softwares such as Gaussian or Materials studio, are now commonly used to study complex systems. Proper modehng of those systems plays more and more important role in modem scientific research. 

Figure 2.2 shows the dream of multiscale modehng of catalytic reactors here the information would be passed from the molecular level to the technical system through many steps. Starting with DFT, theoretical calculations... 

This volume is spht into two parts. In the first part, Chapter 1 is dedicated to phase modehng tools and covers the modeling of a phase constracting potential characteristic functions. Chapter 2 covers the microscopic approach and presents the characteristic matrices that group together thermodynamic coefficients, from different experimental data. Chapters 3,4 and 5 cover tools used in the microscopic modeling of phases through the use of statistics of molecular objects and microcanonical and canonical spaces. The calculation of state functions from molecular data allow the characteristic functions of a phase to be calculated. 

Microkinetic modehng assembles molecular-level information obtained from quantum chemical calculations, atomistic simulations and experiments to quantify the kinetic behavior at given reaction conditions on a particular catalyst surface. In a postulated reaction mechanism, the rate parameters are specified for each elementary reaction. For instance, adsorption pre-exponential terms, which are in units of cm mol s have...
