The quantum chemical characteristics of molecules in coal's organic mass, water, and complexes formed in the interaction of the coal surface with water are calculated. Results obtained by semiempirical root mean square calculation indicate that water and the compound simulating the structure of coal's organic mass are rigid. The functional groups of the coal's organic mass capable of displacing the electron density are nucleophilic centers and are capable of forming electrophilic centers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
