- The AAAI-13 Workshop Program, a part of the 27th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, was held Sunday and Monday, July 14-15, 2013, at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue Hotel in Bellevue, Washington, USA. The program included 12 workshops covering a wide range of topics in artificial intelligence, including Activity Context-Aware System Architectures (WS-13-05); Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Methods in Computational Biology (WS-13-06); Combining Constraint Solving with Mining and Learning (WS-13-07); Computer Poker and Imperfect Information (WS-13-08); Expanding the Boundaries of Health Informatics Using Artificial Intelligence (WS-13-09); Intelligent Robotic Systems (WS-13-10); Intelligent Techniques for Web Personalization and Recommendation (WS-13-11); Learning Rich Representations from Low-Level Sensors (WS-13-12); Plan, Activity,, and Intent Recognition (WS-13-13); Space, Time, and Ambient Intelligence (WS-13-14); Trading Agent Design and Analysis (WS-13-15); and Statistical Relational Artificial Intelligence (WS-13-16)

Insight into Catalytic Intermediates Relevant for Water Splitting

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Catalysis is an important part of chemistry. This is also reflected in the chemical industry where 85-90 % of all products are made catalytically. Also nature employs catalysts, i.e. enzymes, for its reactions.To improve on the already existing catalysts one can learn a lot from nature which often uses earth-abundant elements in the enzymes which have also been optimized and finely tuned for billions of years. To gain a deeper understanding of both enzymatic and artificial catalysis one needs to investigate the mechanism of the catalytic process. But for very efficient catalysts with turnover frequencies of several thousand per second this is not easy, since an investigation of the mechanism involves resolving intermediates in the catalytic cycle. The intermediates in these instances are short-lived corresponding to their turnover frequencies. A maximum turnover frequency of 1,000 s-1 e.g. means that each catalyst goes through the whole catalytic cycle in 1 ms. Therefore time-resolved techniques are necessary that have a faster detection speed than the turnover frequency of the catalyst.Flash photolysis is a spectroscopic technique with an instrument response function down to 10 ns. Coupling this technique with mid-infrared probing yields an excellent detection system for probing different redox and protonation states of carbonyl metal complexes. Since many catalysts as well as natural enzymes involved in water splitting are metal carbonyl complexes this is an ideal technique to monitor the intermediates of these catalysts.Chapter 3 covers the investigation of [FeFe] hydrogenases, enzymes that catalyze the reduction of protons to hydrogen in nature. Chapter 4 investigates the intermediates of biomimetic complexes, resembling the active site of natural [FeFe] hydrogenases. Chapter 5 covers the insights gained from investigating other catalysts which are also involved in water splitting and artificial photosynthesis.
