Example Sentences

Current methods to assess the efficiency of hydrogen storage materials rely on dehydrogenation enthalpy and energy barriers, with the latter being particularly complex and computationally intensive to calculate.

From Science Daily

To address this, the research team has introduced a model that predicts the dehydrogenation barriers using easily computable parameters: the crystal Hamilton population orbital of the Mg-H bond and the distance between atomic hydrogen atoms.

From Science Daily

The chemists set themselves the ambitious goal of finding a general organic synthesis method for doing either the oxygenation or dehydrogenation reaction, as these versatile "bimodal" enzymes do in living cells.

From Science Daily

As the chemists explored the breadth of their new dehydrogenation method using different specific starting compounds, they observed trace amounts of a type of molecule called a lactone, indicating that an oxygenation reaction had occurred.

From Science Daily

Ultimately, they were able to determine the reaction conditions that favored this oxygenation or "lactonization" over the dehydrogenation.
