Abstract

While examining PFPE (perfluoropolyether)-based disk lubricants, extra lability was suspected for a hydrogen-bonded pair of hydroxy end-groups in the presence of a nucleophile (electron donor). Plausible reaction sequences upon electron capture of hydrogen-bonded methanol dimer, hydrogen-bonded ethanol dimer, and 1, 2-propanediol were first examined by a molecular dynamics method based on the potential given by a ...
