SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 319:124560. [PMID: 38843615 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/17/2024]
Abstract
This work investigates the different charge transfer characteristics and excited state intramolecular proton transfer process (ESIPT) of 2'-aminochalcones derivatives carrying different electron-withdrawing groups. Four new molecules are designed in the experiment and named as 2c, 3c, 4c and 5c, respectively. (Dyes and Pigments, 2022, 202.) Based on these four molecules, the effect of substituents on the ESIPT process and the charge transfer process are discussed in detail in our work. According to the study of the related parameters at the hydrogen bond site, infrared vibration spectrum, interaction region indicator isosurface (IRI) and scatter plots, it is concluded that the hydrogen bond interaction is enhanced under photoexcitation, and the descending order of the excited state hydrogen bond strength is 3c > 5c > 4c > 2c. The hydrogen bond energy is calculated by atoms in moleculs (AIM) topological analysis and core-valence bifurcation (CVB) index. The potential energy curve reveals the ESIPT mechanism. Frontier molecular orbital and electron-hole analyses explain the reasons for the changes in the ESIPT process at the electronic level. In addition, the ionization potentials (IPa and IPv), affinity energies (EAa and EAv) and reorganization energies are calculated to evaluate the potential application value of organic molecules in material transport field.

J Environ Sci (China) 2024; 144:45-54.

Abstract
Atrazine causes concern due to its resistant to biodegradation and could be accumulated in aquatic organisms, causing pollution in lakes. This study measured the concentration of atrazine in ice and the water under ice through a simulated icing experiment and calculated the distribution coefficient K to characterize its migration ability in the freezing process. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to expatiate the migration law of atrazine during icing process. According to the results, it could release more energy into the environment when atrazine staying in water phase (-15.077 kcal/mol) than staying in ice phase (-14.388 kcal/mol), therefore it was beneficial for the migration of atrazine from ice to water. This explains that during the freezing process, the concentration of atrazine in the ice was lower than that in the water. Thermodynamic calculations indicated that when the temperature decreases from 268 to 248 K, the internal energy contribution of the compound of atrazine and ice molecule (water cluster) decreases at the same vibrational frequency, resulting in an increase in the free energy difference of the compound from -167.946 to -165.390 kcal/mol. This demonstrated the diminished migratory capacity of atrazine. This study revealed the environmental behavior of atrazine during lake freezing, which was beneficial for the management of atrazine and other pollutants during freezing and environmental protection.

Composition regulates dissolved organic matter adsorption onto iron (oxy)hydroxides and its competition with phosphate: Implications for organic carbon and phosphorus immobilization in lakes. J Environ Sci (China) 2024; 144:159-171. [PMID: 38802228 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2023.07.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/30/2023] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a heterogeneous pool of compounds and exhibits diverse adsorption characteristics with or without phosphorous (P) competition. The impacts of these factors on the burial and mobilization of organic carbon and P in aquatic ecosystems remain uncertain. In this study, an algae-derived DOM (ADOM) and a commercially available humic acid (HA) with distinct compositions were assessed for their adsorption behaviors onto iron (oxy)hydroxides (FeOx), both in the absence and presence of phosphate. ADOM contained less aromatics but more protein-like and highly unsaturated structures with oxygen compounds (HUSO) than HA. The adsorption capacity of FeOx was significantly greater for ADOM than for HA. Protein-like and HUSO compounds in ADOM and humic-like compounds and macromolecular aromatics in HA were preferentially adsorbed by FeOx. Moreover, ADOM demonstrated a stronger inhibitory effect on phosphate adsorption than HA. This observation suggests that the substantial release of autochthonous ADOM by algae could elevate internal P loading and pose challenges for the restoration of restore eutrophic lakes. The presence of phosphate suppressed the adsorption of protein-like compounds in ADOM onto FeOx, resulting in an increase in the relative abundance of protein-like compounds and a decrease in the relative abundance of humic-like compounds in post-adsorption ADOM. In contrast, phosphate exhibited no discernible impact on the compositional fractionation of HA. Collectively, our results show the source-composition characters of DOM influence the immobilization of both DOM and P in aquatic ecosystems through adsorption processes. The preferential adsorption of proteinaceous compounds within ADOM and aromatics within HA highlights the potential for the attachment with FeOx to diminish the original source-specific signatures of DOM, thereby contributing to the shared DOM characteristics observed across diverse aquatic environments.

Abstract
In order to make novel breakthroughs in molecular salt studies of BCS class-IV antifungal medication bifonazole (BIF), a salification-driven strategy towards ameliorating attributes and aiding augment efficiency is raised. This strategy fully harnesses structural characters together attributes and benefits of caffeic acid (CAF) to concurrently enhance dissolvability and permeability of BIF by introducing the two ingredients into the identical molecular salt lattice through the salification reaction, which, coupled with the aroused potential activity of CAF significantly amplifies the antifungal efficacy of BIF. Guided by this route, the first BIF-organic molecular salt, BIF-CAF, is directionally designed and synthesized with satisfactorily structural characterizations and integrated theoretical and experimental explorations on the pharmaceutical properties. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction resolving confirms that there is a lipid-water amphiphilic sandwich structure constructed by robust charge-assistant hydrogen bonds in the salt crystal, endowing the molecular salt with the potential to enhance both dissolvability and permeability relative to the parent drug, which is validated by experimental evaluations. Remarkably, the comprehensive DFT-based theoretical investigations covering frontier molecular orbital, molecular electrostatic potential, Hirshfeld surface analysis, reduced density gradient, topology, sphericity and planarity analysis strongly support these observations, thereby allowing some positive relationships between macroscopic properties and microstructures of the molecular salt can be made. Intriguingly, the optimal properties, together with the stimulated activity of CAF markedly augment in vitro antifungal ability of the molecular salt, with magnifying inhibition zones and reducing minimum inhibitory concentrations. These findings fill in the gaps on researches of BIF-organic molecular salt, and adequately exemplify the feasibility and validity by integrating theoretical and experimental approaches to resolve BIF's problems via the salification-driven tactic.

Abstract
This study explores the effects of the -CF3 group on non-covalent interactions through a comprehensive rotational investigation of the 2-(trifluoromethyl)acrylic acid-water complex. Employing Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy complemented by quantum chemical calculations, two isomers, i.e., s-cis and s-trans structures, have been observed in the pulsed jet. Based on relative intensity measurements, the s-cis to the s-trans population ratio was experimentally estimated to be ∼ 1:1.2. Subsequently, a comparison of the non-covalent interactions was carried out between the three similar complexes, acrylic acid-water, methacrylic acid-water, and 2-(trifluoromethyl)acrylic acid-water, offering quantitative insights into fluorination affecting the strength of the formed hydrogen bonds important, e.g., in molecular recognition.

Abstract
In this work, we theoretically explored the influence of atomic electronegativity on excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) behavior among novel fluorescent probes BTDI and its derivatives (BODI and BSeDI). A thorough examination of the optimized structural parameters and infrared vibrational spectra reveals an enhancement in intramolecular hydrogen bonding within BTDI and its derivatives upon light excitation. This finding is further reinforced by topological analysis and interaction region indicator scatter plots, which underscores the sensitivity of atomic electronegativity to variations in hydrogen bonding strength. With regards to absorption and fluorescence spectra, the decrease in atomic electronegativity leads to a pronounced redshift, primarily attributed to the narrowing of the energy gap. Additionally, an analysis of potential energy curves and the exploration of intrinsic reaction coordinate paths based on transition state structures afford a deeper understanding of the mechanism underlying ESIPT and being modulated through the manipulation of atomic electronegativity. We anticipate that this work on atomic electronegativity regulating ESIPT behavior will serve as a catalyst for novel fluorescent probes in the future, offering fresh perspectives and insights.

Abstract
To address the challenges of low recovery, prolonged extraction times, and environmental pollution caused by toxic solvents in traditional extraction methods, magnetic bead-enhanced deep eutectic solvent mechanochemical extraction was developed for extracting natural products from orange peels. The extraction efficiencies of deep eutectic solvents were experimentally evaluated, and theoretical methods were used to guide solvent selection. Choline chloride-ethylene glycol demonstrated the highest efficiency under the optimal extraction conditions: a molar ratio of 1:2, no water content, a solid-liquid ratio of 0.08 g/mL, and an extraction time of 60 s. The synergy between the deep eutectic solvent and magnetic bead-enhanced the mechanochemical extraction efficiencies. The study also examined the effects of different magnetic bead types and orange peel powder particle sizes on extraction efficiency, finding that a 0.11 mm particle size combined with CIP@SiO2 yielded the best results. Overall, this study holds promise as an environmentally friendly and efficient extraction method.

Abstract
Two-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites with chiral spin texture are emergent spin-optoelectronic materials. Despite the wealth of chiro-optical studies on these materials, their charge-to-spin conversion efficiency is unknown. We demonstrate highly efficient electrically driven charge-to-spin conversion in enantiopure chiral perovskites (R/S-MB)2(MA)3Pb4I13 (〈n〉 = 4), where MB is 2-methylbutylamine, MA is methylamine, Pb is lead, and I is iodine. Using scanning photovoltage microscopy, we measured a spin Hall angle θsh of 5% and a spin lifetime of ~75 picoseconds at room temperature in 〈n〉 = 4 chiral perovskites, which is much larger than its racemic counterpart as well as the lower 〈n〉 homologs. In addition to current-induced transverse spin current, the presence of a coexisting out-of-plane spin current confirms that both conventional and collinear spin Hall conductivities exist in these low-dimensional crystals.

Abstract
We theoretically investigate the salient features of stepwise excited-state intramolecular double proton transfer (ESIDPT) in 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-2,7-dicarbaldehyde (DHDA). Surface trajectory simulations using the TD-B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory reveal that the proton transfer primarily happens via S1, wherein about ∼42% of trajectories (40 out of 95) show the single proton transfer alone and another ∼32% (30 out of 95) show double proton transfer. The average time scale for the single proton transfer originating from those ∼42% trajectories is ∼147 fs. In the case of double proton transfer, the average time for the first step, i.e., single proton transfer, is ∼54 fs, and the subsequent step, i.e., double proton transfer, completes in ∼151 fs. All three tautomers, i.e., normal, single, and double proton-transferred tautomers, possess a stable minimum in their first singlet excited state. This state has a ππ* character in the former two tautomers, resulting in a dual fluorescence emission phenomenon upon photoexcitation of DHDA.

Abstract
The construction and modification of novel energetic frameworks to achieve an ideal balance between high energy density and good stability are a continuous pursuit for researchers. In this work, a fused [5,6,5]-tricyclic framework was utilized as the energetic host to encapsulate the oxidant molecules for the first time. A series of new pyridazine-based [5,6] and [5,6,5] fused polycyclic nitrogen-rich skeletons and their derivatives were designed and synthesized. Two strategies, amino oxidation and host-guest inclusion, were used to modify the skeleton in only one step. All compounds exhibit good comprehensive properties (Td (onset) > 200 °C, ρ > 1.85 g cm-3, Dv > 8400 m s-1, IS > 20 J, FS > 360 N). Benefiting from the pyridazine-based fused tricyclic structure with more hydrogen bonding units and larger conjugated systems, the first example of [5,6,5]-tricyclic host-guest energetic material triamino-9H-pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine-diperchloric acid (10), shows high decomposition temperature (Td (onset) = 336 °C), high density and heats of formation (ρ = 1.94 g cm-3, ΔHf = 733.4 kJ mol-1), high detonation performance (Dv = 8820 m s-1, P = 36.2 GPa), high specific impulse (Isp = 269 s), and low sensitivity (IS = 30 J, FS > 360 N). The comprehensive performance of 10 is superior to that of high-energy explosive RDX and heat-resistant explosives such as HNS and LLM-105. 10 has the potential to become a comprehensive advanced energetic material that simultaneously satisfies the requirements of high-energy and low-sensitivity explosives, heat-resistant explosives, and solid propellants. This work may give new insights into the construction and modification of a nitrogen-rich polycyclic framework and broaden the applications of fused polycyclic framework for the development of host-guest energetic materials.

Abstract
Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) are associated with an increased risk of thyroid cancer; however, relevant mechanistic studies are lacking. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying PBB-induced human thyroid cancer. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics methods were employed to investigate the metabolism of PBBs by the cytochrome P450 enzyme under aryl hydrocarbon receptor mediation into mono- and di-hydroxylated metabolites. This was taken as the molecular initiation event. Subsequently, considering the interactions of PBBs and their metabolites with the thyroxine-binding globulin protein as key events, an adverse outcome pathway for thyroid cancer caused by PBBs exposure was constructed. Based on 2D quantitative structure activity relationship (2D-QSAR) models, the contribution of amino acid residues and binding energy were analyzed to understand the mechanism underlying human carcinogenicity (adverse effect) of PBBs. Hydrogen bond and van der Waals interactions were identified as key factors influencing the carcinogenic adverse outcome pathway of PBBs. Analysis of non-bonding forces revealed that PBBs and their hydroxylation products were predominantly bound to the thyroxine-binding globulin protein through hydrophobic and hydrogen bond interactions. The key amino acids involved in hydrophobic interactions were alanine 330, arginine 381 and lysine 270, and the key amino acids involved in hydrogen bond interactions were arginine 381 and lysine 270. This study provides valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying human health risk associated with PBBs exposure.

Abstract
The interactions of the micro-mechanism of hydroxymethanesulfonic acid (HMSA) with the typical small organic molecule in atmospheric (X = methanol, formaldehyde, formic acid, methyl formate, dimethyl ether, acetone) has been investigated by density functional theory (DFT), quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), Generalized Kohn-Sham Enery Decomposition Analysis (GKS-EDA) and the atmospheric clusters dynamic code (ACDC). The results of DFT show that the stable six- to eight-membered ring structures are easily formed in HMSA-X clusters. According to the topological analysis results of the AIM theory and the IRI method, a strong hydrogen bonding interaction is present in the complex. GKS-EDA results show that electrostatic energy is the main contributor to the interaction energy as it accounts for 51 %-55 % of the total attraction energy. The evaporation rates of HMSA-HMSA and HMSA-HCOOH clusters were much lower than those of the other HMSA complexes. In addition, the Gibbs energy of formation (ΔG) of HMSA-X dimers is investigated under atmosphere temperature T = 217-298 K and p = 0.19-1.0 atm, the ΔG decreased with decreasing of the atmosphere temperature and increased with the decrease of atmospheric pressure, indicating that the low temperature and high pressure may significantly facilitate to the formation of dimers.

Abstract
The synthesis of two new hexahydroisoquinoline-4-carbonitrile derivatives (3a and 3b) is reported along with spectroscopic data and their crystal structures. In compound 3a, the intramolecular O-H···O hydrogen bond constraints the acetyl and hydroxyl groups to be syn. In the crystal, inversion dimers are generated by C-H···O hydrogen bonds and are connected into layers parallel to (10-1) by additional C-H···O hydrogen bonds. The layers are stacked with Cl···S contacts 0.17 Å less than the sum of the respective van der Waals radii. The conformation of the compound 3b is partially determined by the intramolecular O-H···O hydrogen bond. A puckering analysis of the tetrahydroisoquinoline unit was performed. In the crystal, O-H···O and C-H···O hydrogen bonds together with C-H···π(ring) interactions form layers parallel to (01-1) which pack with normal van der Waals interactions. To understand the binding efficiency and stability of the title molecules, molecular docking, and 100 ns dynamic simulation analyses were performed with CDK5A1. To rationalize their structure-activity relationship(s), a DFT study at the B3LYP/6-311++G** theoretical level was also done. The 3D Hirshfled surfaces were also taken to investigate the crystal packings of both compounds. In addition, their ADMET properties were explored.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Yuan S, Zhang N, Yuan S, Wang Z. Insights into the silica scaling behaviors in membrane distillation and anti-scaling mechanism of functional polymers. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 261:122006. [PMID: 38944970 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.122006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
Silica scaling imposes a significant limitation on the efficacy of membrane distillation (MD) in the treatment of hypersaline wastewater. The complex dynamic behaviors of silica at the membrane-water-air interface and the poor understanding of molecular-level anti-scaling mechanism hampers the development of effective antiscalants for mitigating silica scaling in MD. Despite using functional polymers to prevent silica polymerization, the inhibition mechanisms are unclear. Here, the kinetic process of silica scaling during MD and the potential anti-scaling mechanism of poly-ethylenimine (PEI) were investigated at the molecular level via molecular dynamics simulations. The investigation reveals that silica scales were more likely to adhere to the water-PTFE interface with a free energy potential well of -40.0 kJ mol-1 than that of the water-air interface with a -11.4 kJ mol-1 potential well. Silica scales falling at the water-air interface also migrated on the water-air interface until captured by the PTFE membrane. In this work, a representative functional amino-rich polymer PEI was constructed as silica inhibitors and its scale inhibition mechanism was elucidated. Notably, the inclusion of PEI increased the free-energy barriers for the silica polymerization reaction from 72.0 kJ mol-1 to 86.1 kJ mol-1, compared to scenarios without the antiscalants. Moreover, quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) model of ΔGwater-silica was developed to predict the anti-scaling efficiencies of typical antiscalants based on machine learning method. These findings provide valuable insights into enhancing the efficiency of silica scaling mitigation strategies.

Abstract
Nanomaterials excel in mimicking the structure and function of natural enzymes while being far more interesting in terms of structural stability, functional versatility, recyclability, and large-scale preparation. Herein, the story assembles hemin, histidine analogs, and G-quadruplex DNA in a catalytically competent supramolecular assembly referred to as assembly-activated hemin enzyme (AA-heminzyme). The catalytic properties of AA-heminzyme are investigated both in silico (by molecular docking and quantum chemical calculations) and in vitro (notably through a systematic comparison with its natural counterpart horseradish peroxidase, HRP). It is found that this artificial system is not only as efficient as HRP to oxidize various substrates (with a turnover number kcat of 115 s-1) but also more practically convenient (displaying better thermal stability, recoverability, and editability) and more economically viable, with a catalytic cost amounting to <10% of that of HRP. The strategic interest of AA-heminzyme is further demonstrated for both industrial wastewater remediation and biomarker detection (notably glutathione, for which the cost is decreased by 98% as compared to commercial kits).

Abstract
Inspired by the outstanding nature of flavonoid derivatives in the fields of chemistry and medicine, in this work we mainly focus on exploring the photo-induced properties of the novel Et2N-substituted flavonoid (ENF) fluorophore theoretically. Considering the potential photo-induced properties in different solvents and the chalcogen atomic electronegativity-associated photoexcitation, by time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) methods we primarily explore the intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions and photo-induced charge redistribution behaviors. Via comparing geometrical data and the infrared (IR) spectral shifts-associated hydroxy moiety of ENF, we confirm that the intramolecular hydrogen bond O-H···O should be enhanced with facilitating an excited-state intramolecular proton-transfer (ESIPT) reaction. Particularly, the charge reorganization around hydrogen bonding moieties further reveals the tendency of ESIPT behavior. Combined with the construction of the potential energy surface and the search for reaction transition states, we finally confirmed the solvent-polarity-regulated behaviors as well as the chalcogen elements' electronegativity-dependent ESIPT mechanisms for the ENF fluorophore. We sincerely wish our work could accelerate the further development and applications of flavonoid derivatives.

Abstract
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a highly recalcitrant organic pollutant, and its bioaccumulation severely endangers human health. While various methods are developed for PFOA removal, the targeted design of adsorbents with high efficiency and reusability remains largely unexplored. Here the rational design and synthesis of two novel zirconium-based metal‒organic frameworks (MOFs) bearing free ortho-hydroxy sites, namely noninterpenetrated PCN-1001 and twofold interpenetrated PCN-1002, are presented. Single crystal analysis of the pure ligand reveals that intramolecular hydrogen bonding plays a pivotal role in directing the formation of MOFs with free hydroxy groups. Furthermore, the transformation from PCN-1001 to PCN-1002 is realized. Compared to PCN-1001, PCN-1002 displays higher chemical stability due to interpenetration, thereby demonstrating an exceptional PFOA adsorption capacity of up to 632 mg g-1 (1.53 mmol g-1), which is comparable to the reported record values. Moreover, PCN-1002 shows rapid kinetics, high selectivity, and long-life cycles in PFOA removal tests. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance results and density functional theory calculations reveal that multiple hydrogen bonds between the free ortho-hydroxy sites and PFOA, along with Lewis acid-base interaction, work collaboratively to enhance PFOA adsorption.

Abstract
Recent findings in cell biology have rekindled interest in Z-DNA, the left-handed helical form of DNA. We report here that two minimally modified nucleosides, 2'F-araC and 2'F-riboG, induce the formation of the Z-form under low ionic strength. We show that oligomers entirely made of these two nucleosides exclusively produce left-handed duplexes that bind to the Zα domain of ADAR1. The effect of the two nucleotides is so dramatic that Z-form duplexes are the only species observed in 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer and neutral pH, and no B-form is observed at any temperature. Hence, in contrast to other studies reporting formation of Z/B-form equilibria by a preference for purine glycosidic angles in syn, our NMR and computational work revealed that sequential 2'F…H2N and intramolecular 3'H…N3' interactions stabilize the left-handed helix. The equilibrium between B- and Z- forms is slow in the 19F NMR time scale (≥ms), and each conformation exhibited unprecedented chemical shift differences in the 19F signals. This observation led to a reliable estimation of the relative population of B and Z species and enabled us to monitor B-Z transitions under different conditions. The unique features of 2'F-modified DNA should thus be a valuable addition to existing techniques for specific detection of new Z-binding proteins and ligands.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are representative contaminants causing food losses and food safety problems worldwide. Thymol can effectively inhibit pathogen infestation and aflatoxin accumulation during grain storage, but high volatility limits its application. Here, a thymol-betaine co-crystal system was synthesized through grinding-induced self-assembly. The THY-TMG co-crystal exhibited excellent thermal stability with melting point of 91.2 °C owing to abundant intermolecular interactions. Remarkably, after 15 days at 30 °C, the release rate of thymol from co-crystal was only 55%, far surpassing that of pure thymol. Notably, the co-crystal demonstrated the ability to bind H2O in the environment while controlling the release of thymol, essentially acting as a desiccant. Moreover, the co-crystals effectively inhibited the growth of Aspergillus flavus and the biosynthesis of aflatoxin B1. In practical terms, the THY-TMG co-crystal was successful in preventing AFB1 contamination and nutrients loss in peanuts, thereby prolonging their shelf-life under conditions of 28 °C and 70% RH.

Molecules 2024; 29:2692. [PMID: 38893566 PMCID: PMC11173473 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29112692] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
DFT and TD-DFT were used in this article to investigate the effects of different substitutions at multiple sites on the photophysical mechanism of bis-HBX in the gas phase. Four different substitution modes were selected, denoted as A1 (X=Me, Y=S), A2 (X=OMe, Y=S), B1 (X=Me, Y=NH), and C1 (X=Me, Y=O). The geometric parameters proved that the IHBs enhanced after photoexcitation, which was conducive to promote the ESIPT process. Combining the analysis of the PECs, it was revealed that the bis-HBX molecule underwent the ESIPT process, and the ease of the ESIPT process was in the order of A1 > A2> B1 > C1. In particular, the TICT process in A1 and B1 promoted the occurrence of the ESIPT process. In addition, the IC process was identified, particularly in C1. Meanwhile, the calculation of fluorescence lifetime and fluorescence rate further confirmed that A1 was the most effective fluorescent probe molecule. This theoretical research provides an innovative theoretical reference for regulating ESIPT reactions and optimizing fluorescent probe molecules.

Abstract
A detailed understanding of the ultrafast dynamics of halogen-bonded materials is desired for designing supramolecular materials and tuning various electronic properties by external stimuli. Here, a prototypical halogen-bonded multifunctional material containing spin crossover (SCO) cations and paramagnetic radical anions is studied as a model system of photo-switchable SCO hybrid systems using ultrafast electron diffraction and two complementary optical spectroscopic techniques. Our results reveal a sequential dynamics from SCO to radical dimer softening, uncovering a key transient intermediate state. In combination with quantum chemistry calculations, we demonstrate the presence of halogen bonds in the low- and high-temperature phases and propose their role during the photoinduced sequential dynamics, underscoring the significance of exploring ultrafast dynamics. Our research highlights the promising utility of halogen bonds in finely tuning functional properties across diverse photoactive multifunctional materials.

Abstract
Diabetes is a common disease that seriously endangers human health. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is important for the prevention and treatment of diabetes. Glucose-sensing photonic nanochains (PNCs) have the advantages of naked-eye colorimetric readouts, short response time and noninvasive detection of diabetes, showing immense potential in CGM systems. However, the developed PNCs cannot disperse in physiological environment at the pH of 7.4 because of their poor hydrophilicity. In this study, we report a new kind of PNCs that can continuously and reversibly detect the concentration of glucose (Cg) in physiological environment at the pH of 7.4. Polyacrylic acid (PAA) added to the preparation of PNCs forms hydrogen bonds with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in Fe3O4@PVP colloidal nanoparticles and the hydrophilic monomer N-2-hydroxyethyl acrylamide (HEAAm), which increases the content of PHEAAm in the polymer shell of prepared PNCs. Moreover, 4-(2-acrylamidoethylcarbamoyl)-3-fluorophenylboronic acid (AFPBA), with a relatively low pKa value, is used as the glucose-sensing monomer to further improve the hydrophilicity and glucose-sensing performances of PNCs. The obtained Fe3O4@(PVP-PAA)@poly(AFPBA-co-HEAAm) PNCs disperse in artificial serum and change color from yellow-green to red when Cg increases from 3.9 mM to 11.4 mM, showing application potential for straightforward CGM.

Abstract
Xanthene-backbone FLPs featuring secondary borane functions -B(ArX)H (where ArX=C6F5 (ArF) or C6Cl5 (ArCl)) have been targeted through reactions of the dihydroboranes Me2S ⋅ BArXH2 with [4,5-xanth(PR2)Li]2 (R=Ph, iPr), and investigated in the synthesis of related cationic systems via hydride abstraction. The reactivity of these systems (both cationic and charge neutral) with ammonia have been probed, with a view to probing the potential for proton shuttling via N-H bond 'activation.' We find that in the case of four-coordinate boron systems (cationic or change neutral), the N-H linkage remains intact, supported by a NH⋅⋅⋅P hydrogen bond which is worth up to 17 kcal mol-1 thermodynamically, and enabled by planarization of the flexible xanthene scaffold. For cationic three coordinate systems, N-to-P proton transfer is viable, driven by the ability of the boron centre to stabilise the [NH2]- conjugate base through N-to-B π bonding. This proton transfer can be shown to be reversible in the presence of excess ammonia, depending on the nature of the B-bound ArX group. It is viable in the case of C6F5 substituents, but is prevented by the more sterically encumbering and secondary donor-stabilising capabilities of the C6Cl5 substituent.

Abstract
Tris(trimethylsilyl)amine (N(SiMe3)3) is one of the most important intermediate products in the indirect synthesis of ammonia (NH3) from nitrogen (N2), which could be hydrolyzed to NH3 under mild conditions. Herein, the hydrolysis mechanism of N(SiMe3)3 has been systematically investigated using density functional theory (DFT) with explicit combined implicit water models. Under neutral conditions, the active barrier of the hydrolysis of N(SiMe3)3 is 17.6 kcal mol-1 in water solvent. The attacking of proton to N center and OH group to the Si atom from water is decoupled for the stabilization of OH group by solvent water molecules, which lower the hydrolysis energy barriers. Furthermore, under acid conditions, N(SiMe3)3 is easily coordinated with proton to form [NH(SiMe3)3]+, and the energy barrier of the hydrolysis reaction could be reduced to 11.5 kcal mol-1 of the first stage, making it being promoted according to the chemical equilibrium. Thus, the results provide an explanation for the possible mechanism of the quantitative conversion of N(SiMe3)3 to NH3 under mild conditions. The decoupled hydrolysis mechanism may play important role in other hydrolysis processes.

Abstract
Phase transitions in molecular solids involve synergistic changes in chemical and electronic structures, leading to diversification in physical and chemical properties. Despite the pivotal role of hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) in many phase-transition materials, it is rare and challenging to chemically regulate the dynamics and to elucidate the structure-property relationship. Here, four high-spin CoII compounds were isolated and systematically investigated by modifying the ligand terminal groups (X=S, Se) and substituents (Y=Cl, Br). S-Cl and Se-Br undergo a reversible structural phase transition near room temperature, triggering the rotation of 15-crown-5 guests and the swing between syn- and anti-conformation of NCX- ligands, accompanied by switchable magnetism. Conversely, S-Br and Se-Cl retain stability in ordered and disordered phases, respectively. H-bonds geometric analysis and ab initio calculations reveal that the electronegativity of X and Y affects the strength of NY-ap-H⋅⋅⋅X interactions. Entropy-driven structural phase transitions occur when the H-bond strength is appropriate; otherwise, the phase stays unchanged if it is too strong or weak. This work highlights a phase transition driven by H-bond strength complementarity - pairing strong acceptor with weak donor and vice versa, which offers a straightforward and effective approach for designing phase-transition molecular solids from a chemical perspective.

Theoretical Insights into the Effect of Different Numbers of Thiophene Groups on Hydrogen Bond Interaction and Excited-State Intramolecular Proton-Transfer Process for Flavonoid Derivatives.

Abstract
In this study, we systematically explored the impact of varying the number of thiophene groups on the hydrogen bond interaction and excited-state intramolecular proton-transfer (ESIPT) processes in flavonoid derivatives (STF, DTF, and TTF) using the density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory methods. Initially, a thorough analysis of the optimized geometric structures revealed that the intramolecular hydrogen bond in the S1 state is enhanced and gradually weakened as the number of thiophene groups increases. To gain a deeper understanding of the hydrogen bond interaction, topological analysis, interaction region indicator scatter plots, and isosurface plots were employed. These images provide further insights that align with the structural analysis. Additionally, we observed a red-shift in the electronic spectra (absorption and fluorescence spectra), which is primarily attributed to the narrowing of the energy gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, as elucidated by the frontier molecular orbitals. Furthermore, a combined analysis between the hole-electron distribution and the transition density matrix heat map shows that electron excitation involves the unidirectional charge-transfer mechanism. In the end, by conducting relaxed potential energy curve scans, we found that an increase in the number of thiophene groups elevates the energy barrier for ESIPT, making it more challenging for the reaction. In summary, our study underscores the vital effect of thiophene-substituted numbers in modulating the ESIPT process, which is able to provide valuable insights for the design and synthesis of desired organic fluorescent probes in the future.

Abstract
PPh3O.hemihydrate polymorphs and 11 assorted PPh3O cocrystals collectively constitute a reliable stock to pursue a systematic analysis aiming to investigate the impacts of some vital issues on the TPPO.H-bond donor aggregates. The issues highlighted herein are (i) effect of varying acidity of H-bond donors on the degeneracy of lone pairs of the H-bond acceptor (PPh3O), (ii) effectiveness of the |V(r)|/G(r) and H(r)/ρ(r) parameters as a covalency metric, (iii) 3c-4e bonding in the covalent PPh3O.nitric acid cocrystal, (iv) salient features of H-bond interaction energy and an interplay of its components, (v) an intrinsic bond strength scale for the PPh3O cocrystals, and (vi) reliable empirical relations between several bond descriptors for a quick estimation of interaction energy. To be specific about point (vi), we have propounded two promising avenues for a fast semiquantitative calculation of interaction energy from an endearing nonenergetic parameter, viz., bond length: dO-H···O → ρBCP (MAPE = 2.36%) → ESAPT0 (MAPE = 9.26%), and dO-H···O → IBSI (MAPE = 1.87%) → ESAPT0 (MAPE = 9.66%). All the aforesaid issues have been explored in detail through the QTAIM, NBO, and IBSI analyses (M06-2X-D3/def2-TZVP level), as well as by the SAPT study at the SAPT0/aug-cc-pVDZ platform. The statistically valid correlation studies can be particularly conducive for practical purposes as a transformative extension of the established facts into postulates for the unknown cocrystals.

Unveiling the Nature and Strength of Selenium-Centered Chalcogen Bonds in Binary Complexes of SeO 2 with Oxygen-/Sulfur-Containing Lewis Bases: Insights from Theoretical Calculations. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:5609. [PMID: 38891796 PMCID: PMC11171880 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25115609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Among various non-covalent interactions, selenium-centered chalcogen bonds (SeChBs) have garnered considerable attention in recent years as a result of their important contributions to crystal engineering, organocatalysis, molecular recognition, materials science, and biological systems. Herein, we systematically investigated π-hole-type Se∙∙∙O/S ChBs in the binary complexes of SeO2 with a series of O-/S-containing Lewis bases by means of high-level ab initio computations. The results demonstrate that there exists an attractive interaction between the Se atom of SeO2 and the O/S atom of Lewis bases. The interaction energies computed at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level range from -4.68 kcal/mol to -10.83 kcal/mol for the Se∙∙∙O chalcogen-bonded complexes and vary between -3.53 kcal/mol and -13.77 kcal/mol for the Se∙∙∙S chalcogen-bonded complexes. The Se∙∙∙O/S ChBs exhibit a relatively short binding distance in comparison to the sum of the van der Waals radii of two chalcogen atoms. The Se∙∙∙O/S ChBs in all of the studied complexes show significant strength and a closed-shell nature, with a partially covalent character in most cases. Furthermore, the strength of these Se∙∙∙O/S ChBs generally surpasses that of the C/O-H∙∙∙O hydrogen bonds within the same complex. It should be noted that additional C/O-H∙∙∙O interactions have a large effect on the geometric structures and strength of Se∙∙∙O/S ChBs. Two subunits are connected together mainly via the orbital interaction between the lone pair of O/S atoms in the Lewis bases and the BD*(OSe) anti-bonding orbital of SeO2, except for the SeO2∙∙∙HCSOH complex. The electrostatic component emerges as the largest attractive contributor for stabilizing the examined complexes, with significant contributions from induction and dispersion components as well.

Abstract
It is generally accepted that water, as an effective plasticizer, decreases the glass transition temperatures (Tgs) of amorphous drugs, potentially resulting in physical instabilities. However, recent studies suggest that water can also increase the Tgs of the amorphous forms of the drugs prilocaine (PRL) and lidocaine (LID), thus acting as an anti-plasticizer. To further understand the nature of the anti-plasticizing effect of water, interactions with different solvents and the resulting structural features of PRL and LID were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and quantum chemical simulations. Heavy water (deuterium oxides) was chosen as a solvent, as the deuterium and hydrogen atoms are electronically identical. It was found that substituting hydrogen with deuterium showed a minimal impact on the anti-plasticization of water on PRL. Ethanol and ethylene glycol were chosen as solvents to compare the hydrogen bonding patterns occurring between the hydroxyl groups of the solvents and PRL and LID. Comparison of the various Tgs showed a weaker anti-plasticizing potential of these two solvents on PRL and LID. The frequency shifts of the amide CO groups of PRL and LID due to the interactions with water, heavy water, ethanol, and ethylene glycol as observed in the FTIR spectra showed a correlation with the binding energies calculated by quantum chemical simulations. Overall, this study showed that the combination of weak hydrogen bonding and strong electrostatic contributions in hydrated PRL and LID could play an important role in inducing the anti-plasticizing effect of water on those drugs.

Antioxidant capacity of xylooligosaccharides generated from beechwood xylan by recombinant family GH10 Aspergillus niger xylanase A and insights into the enzyme's competitive inhibition by riceXIP. Enzyme Microb Technol 2024; 179:110456. [PMID: 38754147 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2024.110456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
In this study, the family GH10 xylanase AnXylA10 derived from Aspergillus niger JL15 strain was expressed in Pichia pastoris X33. The recombinant xylanase, reAnXylA10 exhibited optimal activity at 40 ℃ and pH 5.0. The hydrolysates generated from beechwood xylan using reAnXylA10 primarily consisted of xylobiose (X2) to xylohexaose (X6) and demonstrated remarkable antioxidant capacity. Furthermore, the rice xylanase inhibitory protein (riceXIP) was observed to competitively inhibit reAnXylA10, exhibiting an inhibition constant (Ki) of 140.6 nM. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of AnXylA10-riceXIP complex revealed that the α-7 helix (Q225-S238) of riceXIP intruded into the catalytic pocket of AnXylA10, thereby obstructing substrate access to the active site. Specifically, residue K226 of riceXIP formed robust interactions with E136 and E242, the two catalytic sites of AnXylA10, predominantly through high-occupied hydrogen bonds. Based on QTAIM, electron densities for the atom pairs K226riceXIP@HZ1-E136AnXylA10@OE2 and K226riceXIP@HZ3-E242AnXylA10@OE1 were determined to be 0.04628 and 0.02914 a.u., respectively. Binding free energy of AnXylA10-riceXIP complex was -59.0±7.6 kcal/mol, significantly driven by electrostatic and van der Waals forces. Gaining insights into the interaction between xylanase and its inhibitors, and mining the inhibition mechanism in depth, will facilitate the design of innovative GH10 family xylanases that are both highly efficient and resistant to inhibitors.

Monavari SM, Memarian N. A DFTB study on the electronic response of encapsulated DNA nucleobases onto chiral CNTs as a sequencer. Sci Rep 2024; 14:10826.

Abstract
Sequencing the DNA nucleobases is essential in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases related to human genes. In this article, the encapsulation of DNA nucleobases with some of the important synthesized chiral (7, 6), (8, 6), and (10, 8) carbon nanotubes were investigated. The structures were modeled by applying density functional theory based on tight binding method (DFTB) by considering semi-empirical basis sets. Encapsulating DNA nucleobases on the inside of CNTs caused changes in the electronic properties of the selected chiral CNTs. The results confirmed that van der Waals (vdW) interactions, π-orbitals interactions, non-bonded electron pairs, and the presence of high electronegative atoms are the key factors for these changes. The result of electronic parameters showed that among the CNTs, CNT (8, 6) is a suitable choice in sequencing guanine (G) and cytosine (C) DNA nucleobases. However, they are not able to sequence adenine (A) and thymine (T). According to the band gap energy engineering approach and absorption energy, the presence of G and C DNA nucleobases decreased the band gap energy of CNTs. Hence selected CNTs suggested as biosensor substrates for sequencing G and C DNA nucleobases.

Abstract
Closely aligned configuration of the donor (D) and acceptor (A) is crucial for the light-emitting efficiency of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials with through-space charge transfer (TSCT) characteristics. However, precisely controlling the D-A distance of blue TSCT-TADF emitters is still challenging. Herein, an extra donor (D*) located on the side of the primary donor (D) is introduced to construct the hydrogen bonding with A and thus modulate the distance of D and A units to prepare high-efficiency blue TSCT emitters. The obtained "V"-shaped TSCT emitter presents a minimal D-A distance of 2.890 Å with a highly parallel D-A configuration. As a result, a high rate of radiative decay (>107 s-1) and photoluminescence quantum yield (nearly 90%) are achieved. The corresponding blue organic light-emitting diodes show maximum external quantum efficiencies (EQEmax) of 27.9% with a Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinate of (0.16, 0.21), which is the highest device efficiency of fluorene-based blue TSCT-TADF emitters. In addition, the TSCT-TADF emitter-sensitized OLEDs also achieve a high EQEmax of 29.3% with a CIE coordinate of (0.12, 0.16) and a narrow emission.

Abstract
As a solid energy source, CH4 hydrate will inevitably break down physically as the result of geological movement or exploitation. Here, the molecular dynamics method was employed to simulate the uniaxial-deformation behavior of structure I (sI type) CH4 hydrate under stress. The stress increases regardless of whether the hydrate is stretched or squeezed, and other physical parameters also changed, such as hydrate cage numbers, order parameters, and the number of water molecules. A noticeable difference is observed between the two systems. Upon stretching, the stress immediately recovers to 0 GPa once the hydrate is completely stretched apart. During the squeeze process, the stress is ultimately not zero since solid and liquid are always in contact. When the hydrate is stretched apart, about 5% of water molecules change from solid to liquid, about 7.8% of CH4 molecules lose their shelter and become free due to the disintegration of water cages. While in the squeezing process, large cages (51262) are crushed more easily than small cages (512); in the end, about 93.5% of large cages and 73% of small cages are crushed, and approximately 87.5% CH4 is released from the cages. In mining CH4 hydrates, caution must be exercised, as if the hydrates break as a result of stress, a large release of CH4 may pose a security risk.

Abstract
Excited state double proton transfer (ESDPT) has attracted great scientific interest because of its excellent luminescent properties. However, the complex process of ESDPT has plagued theoretical and experimental scientists for a long time and has become a hot issue. In this work, the ESDPT process of 2,2'-bipyridine-3,3'-diol-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid ethyl ester (BP(OH)2DCEt2) is systematically studied and the regulation of the ESDPT process is further realized. The potential energy curves indicate that BP(OH)2DCEt2 shows the characteristics of stepwise ESDPT in different polar solvents. The increase in solvent polarity will be beneficial to the stepwise ESDPT reaction. Regrettably, it is not possible to distinguish the specific stepwise transfer path of the BP(OH)2DCEt2 molecule due to the symmetry of the potential energy surface along the diagonal. On this basis, we proposed a method to control and regulate the stepwise ESDPT path using an external electric field. The results show that the increase of external electric field intensity is favorable to stepwise ESDPT. It is interesting to note that applying an external electric field in a specific direction will effectively distinguish stepwise ESDPT reaction paths. Therefore, this work not only helps to understand the mechanism of ESDPT, but also contributes to regulation and design of new luminescent materials with excellent luminescent properties.

Abstract
The carbohydrazide-based gelation component N2,N4,N6-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl)tris(benzene-1,3,5-tricarbohydrazide) (CBTC) was synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic tools. CBTC and trimesic acid (TMA) get self-assembled to form metallogel with Fe3+, specifically through various noncovalent interactions in a DMSO and H2O mixture. The self-assembly shows remarkable specificity toward Fe(III) among different transition metal salts. It is pertinent to point out that the binding specificity for Fe3+ can also be found in nature in the form of siderophores, as they are mainly involved in scavenging iron selectively from the surroundings. DFT studies have been used to investigate the possible interaction between the different components of the iron metallogel. To determine the selectivity of CBTC for iron, CBTC, along with trimesic acid, is used to interact with other metal ions, including Fe(III) ions, in a single system. The gelation components CBTC and TMA selectively bind with iron(III), which leads to the formation of metallogel and gets separated as a discrete layer, leaving the other metal ions in the solution. Therefore, CBTC and TMA together show iron-scavenging properties. This selective scavenging property is explored through FE-SEM, XPS, PXRD, IR, and ICP-AES analysis. The FE-SEM analysis shows a flower-petal-like morphology for the Fe(III) metallogel. The resemblance in the CBTC-TMA-Fe metallogel and metallogel obtained from the mixture of different metal salts is established through FE-SEM images and XPS analysis. The release of iron from the metallogel is achieved with the help of ascorbic acid, which converts Fe3+ to Fe2+. In biological systems, iron also gets released similarly from siderophores. This is the first report where the synthesized gelation component CBTC molecule is capable of scavenging out iron in the form of metallogel and self-separating from the aqueous mixture in the presence of various other metal ions.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) hold great promise in carbon capture, owing to their structural designability and functional porosity. However, intrinsic linker dynamics limit their pressure-swing adsorption application to biogas upgrading and methane purification. Recently, a functionality-locking strategy has shown feasibility in suppressing such dynamics. Still, a trade-off between structural rigidity and uptake capacity remains a key challenge for optimizing their high-pressure CO2/CH4 separation performance. Here, we report a sequential structural locking (SSL) strategy for enhancing the CO2 capture capacity and CH4 purification productivity in dynamic ZIFs (dynaZIFs). Specifically, we isolated multiple functionality-locked phases, ZIF-78-lt, -ht1, and -ht2, by activation at 50, 160, and 210 °C, respectively. We observed multiple-level locking through gas adsorption and powder X-ray diffraction. We uncovered an SSL mechanism dominated by linker-linker π-π interactions that transit to C-H···O hydrogen bonds with binding energies increasing from -0.64 to -2.77 and -5.72 kcal mol-1, respectively, as evidenced by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and density functional theory calculations. Among them, ZIF-78-ht1 exhibits the highest CO2 capture capacity (up to 18.6 mmol g-1) and CH4 purification productivity (up to 7.6 mmol g-1) at 298 K and 30 bar. These findings provide molecular and energetic insights into leveraging framework flexibility through the SSL mechanism to optimize porous materials' separation performance.

Abstract
Two heterometallic Cu(II)/Ni(II) coordination polymers, [Cu2(Hbdea)2Ni(CN)4]n (1) and [Cu2(dmea)2Ni(CN)4]n·nH2O (2), were successfully self-assembled in water by reacting Cu(II) nitrate with H2bdea (N-butyldiethanolamine) and Hdmea (N,N-dimethylethanolamine) in the presence of sodium hydroxide and [Ni(CN)4]2-. These new coordination polymers were investigated by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction and fully characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, elemental analysis, variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements, and theoretical DFT and CASSCF calculations. Despite differences in crystal systems, in both compounds, each dinuclear building block [Cu2(μ-aminopolyalcoholate)2]2+ is bridged by diamagnetic [Ni(CN)4]2- linkers, resulting in 1D (1) or 2D (2) metal-organic architectures. Experimental magnetic studies show that both compounds display strong antiferromagnetic coupling (J = -602.1 cm-1 for 1 and -151 cm-1 for 2) between Cu(II) ions within the dimers mediated by the μ-O-alkoxo bridges. These results are corroborated by the broken symmetry DFT studies, which also provide further insight into the electronic structures of copper dimeric units. By reporting a facile self-assembly synthetic protocol, this study can be a model to widen a still limited family of heterometallic Cu/Ni coordination polymer materials with different functional properties.

Abstract
We present a study of salicylic acid and its hydrates, with up to four water molecules, done by employing chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. We employed the spectral data set of the parent, 13C, and 2H isotopologues to determine the molecular structure and characterize the intra- and intermolecular interactions of salicylic acid and its monohydrate. Complementary theoretical calculations were done to support the analysis of the experimental results. For the monomer, we analyzed structural properties, such as the angular-group-induced bond alternation (AGIBA) effect. In the microsolvates, we analyzed their main structural features dominated by the interaction of water with the carboxylic acid group. This work contributes to seeding information on how water molecules accumulate around this group. Moreover, we discussed the role of cooperative effects further stabilizing the observed inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bond interactions.

Abstract
Dual-state emission (DSE) luminescent materials are a newly discovered category of luminescent materials that exhibit efficient light emission in multiple states, including dilute solutions, highly concentrated solutions, aggregated states and solid states. These materials effectively address the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) observed in traditional organic luminescent materials with large conjugated planes, as well as the limitations of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials, which typically do not emit light in dilute solutions. The design and development of DSE luminescent materials for organelle imaging applications has attracted considerable interest. In this context, this study presents the design and synthesis of a novel luminescent compound, DMSS-AM, characterised by intramolecular hydrogen bonding and a D-π-A structure. As a monophenyl luminescent material, DMSS-AM exhibits DSE properties with fluorescence quantum yields of 22.1% in solution and 14.0% in the solid state. In particular, it exhibits unique pH-responsive properties, facilitating the targeted detection of lysosomal pH changes. Confocal laser scanning microscopy imaging of cells demonstrated that DSE emitters at both low and high concentrations do not affect image quality for bio-imaging applications. This advance is expected to significantly broaden the applicability of DSE luminescent materials in future applications.

Abstract
Along with the development of nuclear power, concerns about radioactive emissions and the potential for nuclear leakage have been widely raised, particularly of harmful iodine isotopes. However, as a significant component of nuclear air waste, the enrichment and detection of air-dispersed gaseous iodine remain a challenge. In this work, it is focused on developing an attraction-immobilization-detection strategy-based fluorescence method for the on-site detection of volatile iodine, by employing a photoluminescent ionic polyimine network-polyvinylpyrrolidone (IPIN-PVP) composite membrane. This strategy synergizes ion-induced dipole interactions from IPIN and complexation effects from PVP, allowing effective iodine enrichment and immobilization. As a result, the optimized IPIN-PVP membrane exhibits rapid response times of 5 s and a low detection limit of 4.087 × 10-8 m for gaseous iodine. It also introduces a portable handheld detection device that utilizes the composite membrane, offering a practical solution for real-time on-site detection of volatile iodine. This innovation enhances nuclear safety measures and disaster management by providing rapid and reliable iodine detection capabilities.

Abstract
In this work, by capitalizing on the density functional theory (DFT) and the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods, it has been systematically studied that the excited state double intramolecular proton transfer (ESDPT) process and the photophysical properties of 1,8-dihydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde (DHNA) are affected by the distinct external electric fields (EEFs). The obtained intramolecular hydrogen bond (IHB) parameters containing bond lengths and angles, as well as infrared (IR) vibrational spectra demonstrate that IHB strength changes in the distinct EEFs. Moreover, not only do the potential energy surfaces (PESs) indicate that the ESDPT process of DHNA is stepwise, but also increasing the positive EEF results in a decrease in the energy barrier accordingly, while vice versa. The absorption and fluorescence spectra also undergo a corresponding red or blue shift in the EEF; for instance, when the EEF changes from +10 × 10-4 a.u. to +20 × 10-4 a.u., the fluorescence peak undergoes a blue shift from 602 nm to 513 nm in the keto2 form. In a nutshell, the ESDPT process of DHNA can be influenced by the EEF, which will serve as a reference in regulating and controlling proton transfer that causes luminescence.

Abstract
The presence of halogen bonds (R-X···B; R = substituent group, X = halogen, and B = Lewis base) provides quite amazing molecular systems for electronic structure investigations, presenting unique characteristics of fundamental relevance to supramolecular chemistry among other areas. Here, we use a double-hybrid approach from Density Functional Theory and triple-ζ basis sets augmented with diffuse functions (B2PLYP/def2-TZVPD) to deal with a large group of simple molecular systems containing halogen bonds (XBs), focusing on geometrical structures, binding energies, harmonic vibrational frequencies, and fundamental infrared intensities. Next, the electron densities and their variations on vibrations are carefully studied with the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) formalism and the charge-charge flux-dipole flux (CCFDF) model. We notice that the R-X stretching mode usually shows vibrational frequency decrements and infrared intensifications during the XB formation. Such features were also observed in hydrogen bonds, although the explanation for the band strengthening is different. Surprisingly, the most important contribution to these intensity increments due to complexation is now the interaction term between the charge flux and dipole flux (CF × DF). Thus, the use of atomic dipoles is mandatory to fully understand this phenomenon. In fact, the huge charge flux contributions to changes in dipole moment derivatives of R-X stretchings on halogen bonding are no longer accompanied by opposite variations of similar magnitudes in polarizations described by atomic dipole fluxes, which provided nearly unaltered values during the XB formation. Thus, the electronic charge flux direction change that takes place in complexes (from B to R) now reinforces dipole moment derivative terms from such atomic polarizations (mainly from the X atom). This intermolecular charge flux seems to be responsible for the unusual features noticed in the R-X stretching mode with the CCDDF/QTAIM model.

Abstract
In this study, we present a comprehensive photophysical investigation of ESIPT-reactive benzazole derivatives in both solution and the solid state. These derivatives incorporate different chalcogen atoms (O, S, and Se) into their structures, and we explore how these variations impact their electronic properties in both ground and excited states. Changes in the UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence emission spectra were analyzed and correlated with the chalcogen atom and solvent polarity. In general, the spectral band of the benzazole derivative containing selenium was redshifted in both the ground and excited states compared to that of its oxygen and sulfur counterparts. Furthermore, we observed that the solvent played a distinctive role in influencing the ESIPT process within these compounds, underscoring once again the significant influence of the chalcogen atom on their photophysical behavior. Theoretical calculations provided a deeper understanding of the molecular dynamics, electronic structures, and photophysical properties of these compounds. These calculations highlighted the effect of chalcogen atoms on the molecular geometry, absorption and emission characteristics, and intramolecular hydrogen bonding, revealing intricate details of the ESIPT mechanism. The integration of experimental and computational data offers a detailed view of the structural and electronic factors governing the photophysical behavior of benzazole derivatives.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskites are exquisite semiconductors with great structural tunability. They can incorporate a rich variety of organic species that not only template their layered structures but also add new functionalities to their optoelectronic characteristics. Here, we present a series of new methylammonium (CH3NH3+ or MA)-based 2D Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites templated by dimethyl carbonate (CH3OCOOCH3 or DMC) solvent molecules. We report the synthesis, detailed structural analysis, and characterization of four new compounds: MA2(DMC)PbI4 (n = 1), MA3(DMC)Pb2I7 (n = 2), MA4(DMC)Pb3I10 (n = 3), and MA3(DMC)Pb2Br7 (n = 2). Notably, these compounds represent unique structures with MA as the sole organic cation both within and between the perovskite sheets, while DMC molecules occupy a tight space between the MA cations in the interlayer. They form hydrogen-bonded [MA···DMC···MA]2+ complexes that act as spacers, preventing the perovskite sheets from condensing into each other. We report one of the shortest interlayer distances (∼5.7-5.9 Å) in solvent-incorporated 2D halide perovskites. Furthermore, the synthesized crystals exhibit similar optical characteristics to other 2D perovskite systems, including narrow photoluminescence (PL) signals. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm their direct-band-gap nature. Meanwhile, the phase stability of these systems was found to correlate with the H-bond distances and their strengths, decreasing in the order MA3(DMC)Pb2I7 > MA4(DMC)Pb3I10 > MA2(DMC)PbI4 ∼ MA3(DMC)Pb2Br7. The relatively loosely bound nature of DMC molecules enables us to design a thermochromic cell that can withstand 25 cycles of switching between two colored states. This work exemplifies the unconventional role of the noncharged solvent molecule in templating the 2D perovskite structure.

Abstract
The excited state double proton transfer (ESDPT) mechanism of shikonin (Shk) and its derivative acetylshikosin (AcShk) were studied by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods. The potential energy curves scanned along the coordinates of proton transfer indicate a preference for the ESDPT reaction to occur step by step. The AcShk molecule possesses an additional reaction pathway in comparison to the Shk molecule. Furthermore, efforts have been made to compute the absorption and fluorescence peak, which exhibits favorable conformity with the experimental findings of the system investigated. The fluorescence spectra in cyclohexane and acetonitrile solvents indicate that the solvent polarity affects the location of the ESDPT fluorescence peak in both Shk and AcShk systems. The fluorescence spectra concentrated in the green light region (504 nm ∼ 550 nm) are obtained, which has the potential to promote human health through disinfection and boosting the immune system.

Abstract
Aliphatic-aromatic copolyesters offer a promising solution to mitigate plastic pollution, but high content of aliphatic units (>40 %) often suffer from diminished comprehensive performances. Poly(butylene oxalate-co-furandicarboxylate) (PBOF) copolyesters were synthesized by precisely controlling the oxalic acid content from 10 % to 60 %. Compared with commercial PBAT, the barrier properties of PBOF for H2O and O2 increased by more than 6 and 26 times, respectively. The introduction of the oxalic acid units allowed the water contact angle to be reduced from 82.5° to 62.9°. Superior hydrophilicity gave PBOF an excellent degradation performance within a 35-day hydrolysis. Interestingly, PBO20F and PBO30F also displayed obvious decrease of molecular weight during hydrolysis, with elastic modulus >1 GPa and tensile strength between 35-54 MPa. PBOF achieved the highest hydrolysis rates among the reported PBF-based copolyesters. The hydrolytic mechanism was further explored based on Fukui function analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Noncovalent analysis indicated that the water molecules formed hydrogen bonding interaction with adjacent ester groups and thus improved the reactivity of carbonyl carbon. PBOF not only meet the requirements of the high-performance packaging market but can quickly degrade after the end of their usage cycles, providing a new choice for green and environmental protection.

Abstract
Our main focus is to explore the atomic electronegativity-dependent photoinduced behavior of styryl derivatives (HBO, HBS, and HBSe). The results of structural parameter calculation by the DFT method show that the intramolecular hydrogen bonds of normal and tautomer form are strengthened and weakened, respectively, in an excited state (S1), which is conducive to the excited intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process. The enhancement of excited hydrogen bond is beneficial to the ESIPT process from the aspects of infrared vibration frequency (IR), Mulliken's charge analysis, and density gradient reduction (RDG). Additionally, by determining the bond energy with the band critical point (BCP) parameter, we found that the lower the electronegativity of the atom, the larger the hydrogen bond strength at the excited state and the more likely ESIPT reaction occurs. Meanwhile, the intramolecular H-bonds O-H…N in HBO, HBS, and HBSe are enhanced with the weakened electron-withdrawing capacity of the atom (from O to S and Se). Subsequently, frontier molecular orbital (FMOs) and charge density difference (CDD) analyses essentially revealed that electron redistribution induces the ESIPT process. Low atomic electronegativity exhibits the high chemical activity of the excited state. Furthermore, to demonstrate the electronegativity-dependent ESIPT behavior of the system, we built potential energy curves (PECs) and located the transition states (TS) of proton transfer processes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Tegafur (TF) is one of the most important clinical antitumor drugs with poor water solubility, severely reducing its bioavailability. This work develops new cocrystals to improve the solubility of TF and systematically investigates the intermolecular interactions to provide new insights into the formation of cocrystal and changes in physicochemical properties. METHOD In this paper, two new 1:1 cocrystals of TF with 2,4 dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,4HBA) and p-nitrophenol (PNP) were synthesized. The cocrystal products were identified and characterized by various solid state analysis techniques. And the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was conducted to determine the solubility and dissolution rate of TF and cocrystals. Moreover, the quantum chemistry calculations of crystal structure provided theoretical support for the results. RESULT Compared with pure TF, the solubility and dissolution rate of TF-2,4HBA is significantly increased in a pH 6.8 buffer at 37°C. Under accelerated storage conditions (40°C, 75% RH), all cocrystal exhibits excellent stability over 8 weeks. Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis, atoms in molecules (AIM) analysis, interaction region indicator (IRI) analysis, molecular electrostatic potential surface (MEPS) analysis and frontier molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) analysis were integrated to understand the hydrogen bonding interaction more comprehensively. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental data. The results show that the analysis of physical and chemical properties of TF-PNP cocrystal and TF crystal by quantum chemistry method is reliable at molecular level. CONCLUSION These results are helpful to provide guiding methods in the cocrystal development and theoretical study of tegafur.

[PMID: 38146920 DOI: 10.1002/cphc.202300875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/27/2023]
Abstract
Boron is the archetypal Lewis acid, and therefore it is only natural that it prefers to bind nitrogen, its usual Lewis base counterpart. To challenge this assumption, we present a computationally designed bicyclopentane molecule akin to [1.1.1]propellane, but with pyramidal B and N inner atoms bonded by an "inverted" dative bond. Unexpectedly, the dimer of this system prefers to interact via an atypical boron-boron bond over the supposedly obvious boron-nitrogen bond. A molecular orbital analysis shows that the boron in this peculiar entity acts both as an electron donor and an electron acceptor, making the dimerization an amphoteric-amphoteric interaction process.

Abstract
Inspired by the brilliant photochemical and photophysical properties of organic molecules containing chalcogenide substitutions that could be potentially applied across various disciplines, in this work, the effects of the atomic electronegativity of chalcogens (O, S, and Se) on hydrogen bond interactions and excited state proton transfer (ESPT) are mainly focused. We present characteristic oxygen-hydroxybenzazole-substituted 2,5-bis(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzene-1,4-diol (BDIBD) derivatives that contain intramolecular double hydrogen bonds. The main objective of this study was to explore in detail the influence of the change of chalcogen atomic electronegativity on dual hydrogen bond interaction and ESPT behavior. By comparing the structural changes and infrared (IR) vibrational spectra of BDIBD derivative (BDIBD-O, BDIBD-S and BDIBD-Se) fluorophores in S0 and S1 states, combined with the preliminary detection of hydrogen bond interaction via the core-valence bifurcation (CVB) index and predicted hydrogen bonding energy (EHB), we conclude that dual hydrogen bonds should be strengthened in the S1 state, which is favorable for the occurrence of ESPT reactions. The charge recombination behavior of hydrogen bonds, induced by photoexcitation, further illustrates this point. By constructing potential energy surfaces (PESs) based on restrictive optimization and by searching the transition state (TS) structure, we finally elucidate stepwise excited-state double proton transfer (ESDPT). Specifically, we confirm that a change in atomic electronegativity has a regulatory effect on the ESDPT behavior in BDIBD derivatives, that is, lower atomic electronegativity is more conducive to stepwise ESDPT.
