A Theoretical and Experimental Study on Esterification of Citric Acid with the Primary Alcohols and the Hydroxyl Groups of Cellulose Chain (n = 1-2) in Parched Condition

Esterification of citric acid (CA) with the primary alcohols and the hydroxyl groups of cellulose chain (n = 1-2) in parched condition were investigated by using density functional theory (DFT) method and a two-layer ONIOM approach. Geometry and energy of reactants, products, and transition state (T...
