Abstract
Stilbenes are a compelling class of organic photoswitches with a high degree of tunability that sensitively depend on their environment. In this study, we investigate the adsorption properties of 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)-4'-nitrostilbene (DANS), a push-pull stilbene, on amorphous silica glass. Plane-wave density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to understand how the trans and cis isomers of DANS interact with the amorphous surface and which are the most preferred modes of adsorption. Our calculations revealed that the O-H···O hydrogen bonds between the nitro group and hydroxyl groups of the silica surface dominate the intramolecular interaction. In addition to hydrogen bonding, O-H···π interactions with the aromatic ring and double bond play a critical role in adsorption, whereas C-H···O interactions are present, but contribute little. Therefore, both isomers of DANS favor parallel orientations such that not only the functional groups but also the aromatic parts can strongly interact with the glass surface.

Abstract
In order to minimize unintentional detonation, munitions researchers have focused on the development of chemical compounds that are insensitive to external stimuli while maintaining their effectiveness. Although these compounds, known as high-performance insensitive munition compounds, are promising in terms of potency and stability, their environmental impacts have either not been fully understood or are yet to be investigated. In the present research, we have performed a quantum chemical investigation on electronic structures and properties of an insensitive munition compound 4,6-bis(nitroimino)-1,3,5-triazinan-2-one (DNAM). The density functional theory using the B3LYP and M06-2X functionals and MP2 methodology were used for geometry optimization of various tautomeric forms of DNAM. The effect of bulk water solution was evaluated using the conductor-like polarizable continuum model and the density-based solvation model. Ionization potentials, electron affinities, redox properties, and p Ka values were also computed and compared with the available experimental data. These physical and chemical properties of DNAM have been discussed with regard to the varying tautomeric forms in which DNAM can exist.

Abstract
Adsorption energies of various nitrogen-containing compounds (specifically, 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT), 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAn), and 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole-5-one (NTO)) on the hydroxylated (001) and (100) α-quartz surfaces are computed. Different density functionals are utilized and both periodic as well as cluster approaches are applied. From the adsorption energies, partition coefficients on the considered α-quartz surfaces are derived. While TNT and DNT are preferably adsorbed on the (001) surface of α-quartz, NTO is rather located on both α-quartz surfaces. Adsorption energies of different nitrogen-containing compounds on two hydroxylated (001) and (100) quartz surfaces are computed.![]()

Abstract
Reduction and oxidation (redox) reactions are widely used for removal of nitrocompounds from contaminated soil and water. Structures and redox properties for complexes of nitrocompounds, such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT), 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), and 5-nitro-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (NTO), with common inorganic ions (Na(+) , Cl(-) , NO3-) were investigated at the SMD(Pauling)/PCM(Pauling)/MPWB1K/TZVP level of theory. Atoms in molecules (AIM) theory was applied to analyze the topological properties of the bond critical points involved in the interactions between the nitrocompounds and the ions. Topological analyses show that intermolecular interactions of the types O(N)…Na(+) , C-H…Cl(-) ( ONO2-), and C…Cl(-) ( ONO2-) may be discussed as noncovalent closed-shell interactions, while N-H···Cl(-) ( ONO2-) hydrogen bonds are partially covalent in nature. Complexation causes significant decrease of redox activity of the nitrocompounds. Analysis of the reduction potentials of the complexes obtained through application of the Pourbaix diagram of an iron/water system revealed that sodium complexes of NTO might be reduced by metallic iron. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Adsorption of 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) by soil organic matter considering the Leonardite Humic Acid (LHA) model at the M05/tzvp level of Density Functional Theory (DFT) applying cluster approximation has been investigated. Different orientations of CL-20 toward LHA surface were examined. It was found that deprotonation of LHA is required to obtain stable complexes with CL-20. Hydrogen bonds between CL-20 and deprotonated LHA were analyzed applying the atoms in molecules (AIM) theory. An attachment or removal of an electron with respect to the complex does not have significant effect on mutual orientation of the adsorbent in complexes. It was shown that adsorbed CL-20 does not undergo redox transformation and, therefore, adsorption on soil organic matter may be responsible for decrease of the degradation rate of CL-20 in soil.

Abstract
A cluster approximation was applied at the M05/tzvp level to model an adsorption of 5-amino-3-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazole (ANTA) on the (001) surface of α-quartz. Structures of the obtained ANTA-silica complexes confirm a nearly parallel orientation of the nitro compound toward the surface. The atoms in molecules (AIM) method was applied to analyze binding between ANTA and the silica surface. Attachment or loss of an electron was found to lead to a significant deviation from coplanarity in the complexes and to a strengthening of a hydrogen bonding. Redox properties of the adsorbed ANTA were compared with those of gas-phase and hydrated species by calculation of the ionization potential, electron affinity, oxidation and reduction Gibbs free energies, and oxidation and reduction potentials. It was shown that the adsorbed ANTA has a lower ability to undergo redox transformations as compared to that of the hydrated one.
