Abstract
Modulating the solvation structure of hydrated zinc ions using organic additives stands as a pragmatic approach to suppress dendrite formation and corrosion on zinc metal anodes (ZMAs), thereby enhancing the rechargeability of aqueous Zn-ion batteries. However, fundamental screening principles for organic additives with diverse molecular structures remain elusive, especially for isomers with the same molecular formula. This study delves into the impact of three isomeric hexagonal alcohols (mannitol, sorbitol, and galactitol) as additives in adjusting Zn2+ solvation structural behaviors within ZnSO4 baseline electrolytes. Electrical measurements and molecular simulations reveal the specific molecular structure of mannitol, which features interweaving electron clouds between adjacent hydroxyl groups, achieving a high local electron cloud density. This phenomenon significantly enhances desolvation abilities, thus establishing a more stable anode/electrolyte interface chemistry. Even at 5 mA cm-2 for 2.5 mAh cm-2 capacity, Zn||Zn symmetric cells with mannitol-regulated electrolyte display an impressive 1170 h lifespan, far exceeding those with other isomer additives and is nearly tenfold longer than that with a pure ZnSO4 electrolyte (120 h). Rather than strictly adhering to focusing on chemical composition, this study with emphasis on optimizing molecular structure offers a promising untapped dimension to screen more efficient additives to enhance the reversibility of ZMAs.

Abstract
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have garnered significant interest among researchers in the field of photovoltaics due to their promising performance, low cost and easy process of fabrication. In this study, we have designed new D-π-A systems as derivatives of the reference (Ref. A) D-A-D scaffold, incorporating different π-bridges to enhance and optimize their efficiency as sensitizing dyes for DSSCs applications. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) methods were employed to investigate the geometrical and electronic structures, chemical reactivity indices, optical properties, exciton binding energy, and electrochemical properties of these dyes. We also examined the preferred adsorption process of the two selected dyes on a (TiO2)15 cluster model. The results demonstrate that all the dyes exhibit improved open-circuit photovoltage, enhanced light-harvesting efficiencies, higher electron injection efficiency, and excellent photovoltaic efficiency. Moreover, there is evidence of electron injection occurring from each studied dye to the conduction band of TiO2, followed by efficient regeneration. The introduced bridges in the molecular systems play a crucial role in facilitating electron transfer from the donor to the acceptor region. Comparatively, the D-π-D systems exhibit superior performance in DSSCs compared to Ref. A, which can be attributed to their higher energy levels of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital and larger oscillator strengths for the most excited states involving intramolecular electron transfer and the electron injection process occurring from each examined molecule to the conduction band of TiO2, followed by subsequent regeneration. Overall, the results of our study highlight the potential of all the D-π-A systems as promising sensitizers for DSSCs applications, owing to their favorable optical and electronic properties and impressive photovoltaic parameters.

Abstract
In this work, cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) was extracted from black tea waste and its effects on the physicochemical properties of rice starch were explored. It was revealed that CNC improved the viscosity of starch during pasting and inhibited its short-term retrogradation. The addition of CNC changed the gelatinization enthalpy and improved the shear resistance, viscoelasticity, and short-range ordering of starch paste, which meant that CNC made the starch paste system more stable. The interaction of CNC with starch was analyzed using quantum chemistry methods, and it was demonstrated that the hydrogen bonds were formed between starch molecules and the hydroxyl groups of CNC. In addition, the digestibility of starch gels containing CNC was significantly decreased because CNC could dissociate and act as an inhibitor of amylase. This study further expanded the understanding of the interactions between CNC and starch during processing, which could provide a reference for the application of CNC in starch-based foods and the development of functional foods with a low glycemic index.

Abstract
The article presents parameters for obtaining a carbon dioxide extract from the subterranean part of Eryngium planum that contains a valuable set of organic substances and has a certain antimicrobial effect. Methods. Raw materials were collected in the Almaty region (Republic of Kazakhstan). The CO2 extract of Eryngium planum herbs was obtained under subcritical conditions. A gas chromatograph with a mass spectrometric detector was used to determine the compositional breakdown of the extract. Antimicrobial activity was determined by two methods: the micromethod of serial dilutions and the disk-diffusion method. Three microbial test strains were used: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538-P, Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, and Candida albicans ATCC 10231. Results. To extract biologically active substances from the subterranean part of Eryngium planum L., we have chosen carbon dioxide extraction technology, a technology for processing carbon dioxide (CO2) raw materials, which allows us to extract various substances in high concentrations. Carbon dioxide extraction technology is an effective and environmentally safe way to isolate various biologically active substances contained in medicinal plant raw materials. In the composition of the CO2 extract of Eryngium planum L. 43 components were identified, the main of which are α-linolenic acid, 8.30%; myristic acid, 6.40%; caryophyllene, 6.92%; spatulous, 6.62%; and other main identified compounds and their percentage. Conclusions. The study showed that the CO2 extract of Eryngium planum L. contains biologically active compounds that have a pronounced antimicrobial effect against clinically significant microorganisms, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans.

Abstract
The detection mechanism of fluorescent probe FQ-DNP (DNP: 2,4-dinitropheno) for PhSH and the detailed ESIPT process of its product 2-(6-(diethylamino) quinolin-2-yl)-3-Hydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one (FQ-OH) have been revealed by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). For FQ-OH, the decreased bond length of H6-N7 and RDG analysis illustrate that the strength of hydrogen bond H6-N7 has been enlarged after photoexcitation, creating a good condition for ESIPT. To illustrate the ESIPT process in detail, the potential energy curves are performed and the transition state reaction energy is calculated. In the S0 state, the FQ-OH could happen proton transfer (PT) to form keto, but the keto form is more unstable than enol form. After photoexcitation, in the S1 state, FQ-OH could happen PT to produce stable keto form. Excited dynamic simulation shows that PT happens at 71.5 fs. The calculated absorption and emission spectra are in agreement with the experimental data, and the calculated Stokes shift is 160 nm. Frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) and hole-electron analysis show that twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) is responsible for the fluorescent quenching of FQ-DNP.

Abstract
Fluorinated liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) are begun to emerge as new persistent organic pollutants. Herein, the structure-reactivity relationships of fluorinated LCMs 1,2,3-trifluoro-5-[3-(3-propylcyclohexyl)cyclohexyl]benzene (TPrCB), 1,2-difluoro-4-[trans-4-(trans-4-propylcyclohexyl)cyclohexyl]benzene (DPrCB), 4-[(trans,trans)-4'-(3-Buten-1-yl)[1,1'-bicyclohexyl]-4-yl]-1,2-difluoro-benzene (BBDB) and 1-[4-(4-ethylcyclohexyl)cyclohexyl]-4(trifluoromethoxy)benzene (ECTB) subject to photocatalysis-generated oxidation species were investigated. The degradation rate constant of BBDB was 3.0, 2.6, and 6.8 times higher than DPrCB, TPrCB and ECTB, respectively. The results reveal that BBDB, DPrCB and TPrCB had mainly negative electrostatic potential (ESP) regions which were vulnerable to electrophilic attack by h+, •OH and •O2 -, while ECTB was composed of mainly positive ESP regions which were vulnerable to nucleophilic attack by •OH and •O2 -. The detoxification processes of BBDB, DPrCB and TPrCB included carbon bond cleavage and benzene ring opening. However, the methoxy group of ECTB reduced the nucleophilic reactivity on the benzene ring, leading to slower detoxification efficiency. These findings may help to develop LCMs treatment technologies based on structure-reactivity relationships.

Abstract
To induce double-proton transfer (DPT) with guanine in a biological environment, 12 cytosine analogues (Ca) were formed by atomic substitution. The DPT reactions in the Watson-Crick cytosine-guanine model complex (Ca0G) and 12 modified cytosine-guanine complexes (Ca1-12G) were investigated using density functional theory methods at the M06-2X/def2svp level. The intramolecular proton transfers within the analogues are not facile due to high energy barriers. The hydrogen bond lengths of the Ca1-12G complexes are shorter than those in the Ca0G complex, which are conducive to DPT reactions. The DPT energy barriers of Ca1-12G complexes are also lower than that of the Ca0G complex, in particular, the barriers in the Ca7G and Ca11G complexes were reduced to -1.33 and -2.02 kcal/mol, respectively, indicating they are significantly more prone to DPT reactions. The DPT equilibrium constants of Ca1-12G complexes range from 1.60 × 100 to 1.28 × 107, among which the equilibrium constants of Ca7G and Ca11G are over 1.0 × 105, so their DPT reactions may be adequate. The results demonstrate that those cytosine analogues, especially Ca7 and Ca11, are capable of inducing DPT with guanine, and then the guanine tautomer will form mismatches with thymine during DNA replication, which may provide new strategies for gene therapy.

Abstract
It is very helpful to understand the properties of molecules by studying a series of physical and chemical changes in molecules under an external electric field (EEF). Tioxolone is an important bioactive compound for its wide applications in the medical field. In this work, density function theory calculations combined with EEF were used to investigate the structure, spectra and electronic properties of tioxolone. The calculated results indicate that the bond lengths, bond angles, total energy, dipole moment, charge and aromaticity of tioxolone change under EEF. As EEF increases, the energy gap of tioxolone gradually reduces and makes it easier to participate in chemical reactions. Under the effect of EEF, the infrared and UV-Vis spectra show vibrational stark effect, which causes a redshift or blueshift of the frequency. These results help to understand the effect of EEF on structures and electronic properties for tioxolone, which will further provide effective guidance for the various application of tioxolone.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2020; 224:117359. [PMID: 31344583 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2019.117359] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2019] [Revised: 06/20/2019] [Accepted: 07/07/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The present study demonstrates the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism of 2-(benzimidazol-2-yl)-3-hydroxychromone (DH3B2) is based on density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) methods. We find that DH3B2-C is the main conformation to occur ESIPT. Moreover, we get the different results of DH3B2 for the ESIPT mechanisms in comparison with the previous reports. We have optimized three isomers (DH3B2-A, DH3B2-B and DH3B2-C), and calculated absorption and fluorescence spectra, which agree well with the experimental data. Furthermore, we prove the hydrogen bond is enhanced in the S1 state by comparing infrared vibrational spectra, the relevant bond length and bond angle. In our calculations, the results of the three levels of calculations (CAM-B3LYP/TZVP, B3LYP/TZVP and PBEPBE/TZVP) indicate that DH3B2-C is the most stable conformation, by compared the single point energy of three isomers. By constructed the potential energy surfaces (PESs), we find the converted relationship among the three isomers; DH3B2-C is the main conformation in which DH3B2 exists. Furthermore, combination with reduced density gradient (RDG) function, the hydrogen bond of DH3B2-C is stronger than that of DH3B2-A and DH3B2-B, which proves that DH3B2-C form is the most favorable form for ESIPT among the three isomers. Meanwhile, we have further investigated the ESIPT mechanisms of DH3B2, via constructing the potential energy curves (PECs). These results have shown that DH3B2-C is easier to ESIPT occur than DH3B2-A and DH3B2-B. Therefore, the proton receptors of the ESIPT are mainly the benzimidazole nitrogen atoms.

Crystal Structure and Computational Study on Methyl-3-Aminothiophene-2-Carboxylate. CRYSTALS 2020. [DOI: 10.3390/cryst10010019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Methyl-3-aminothiophene-2-carboxylate (matc) is a key intermediate in organic synthesis, medicine, dyes, and pesticides. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that matc crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system P21/c space group. Three matc molecules in the symmetric unit are crystallographically different and further linked through the N–H⋯O and N–H⋯N hydrogen bond interactions along with weak C–H⋯S and C–H⋯Cg interactions, which is verified by the three-dimensional Hirshfeld surface, two-dimensional fingerprint plot, and reduced density gradient (RDG) analysis. The interaction energies within crystal packing are visualized through dispersion, electrostatic, and total energies using three-dimensional energy-framework analyses. The dispersion energy dominates in crystal packing. To better understand the properties of matc, electrostatic potential (ESP) and frontier molecular orbitals (FMO) were also calculated and discussed. Experimental and calculation results suggested that amino and carboxyl groups can participate in various inter- and intra-interactions.

Abstract
The present work reports the application of density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP with various basis sets which provide the relationship between the structural and spectral properties of 4-ethoxy-2, 3-difluoro benzamide (4EDFB). A Complete vibrational analysis has been performed at the density functional theory (DFT) method with various basis sets in the ground state. The results of vibrational wave numbers are in good agreement with the experimental spectra (Infrared and Raman). Energy gap of the molecule is evaluated using frontier molecular orbital energies (HOMO-LUMO). The frontier energy gap value reveals the chemical reactivity and intermolecular charge transfer occur within the molecule. Global chemical descriptors provide the local and global softness and local reactivity parameters used to identify the nucleophilic and electrophilic behavior of a specific site within the compound. The dimer structure is performed to evaluate the intermolecular hydrogen bond (O-H-O). The title molecule is capable of receiving second harmonic generation (SHG) is due to high value of hyperpolarizability indicates the NLO activity of the molecule. Apart from NLO entities, aromaticity and the molecular electrostatic potential surface (MEP) explain the hydrogen bonding and provide the reactive behavior of the molecule. The Mulliken population analysis leads to redistribution of electron density in the ring.

Abstract
The present study is aimed at probing the hydrogen bonding interaction between epinephrine and uracil by means of density functional theory calculations concerning their complexation's geometries, interaction energies, and vibrational frequencies. Geometry optimization was carried out giving 19 stable geometries of epinephrine-uracil complex with interaction energies in a range of - 21.51 to - 62.37 kJ mol-1 using the basis set superposition error (BSSE) correction. The analysis of structure and vibration shows that the hydrogen bonding elongates the length of corresponding bond O(N)-H and decreases the symmetric stretching vibrational frequency, which indicates red-shifted H-bonding interactions in all the geometries. Additionally, the analysis with theories of natural bond orbital (NBO), atoms in molecules (AIM), and the reduced density gradient (RDG) of hydrogen bonding properties and characteristics of the 19 geometries suggests that the hydrogen bonding in all the optimized structures of epinephrine-uracil complex is kind of a closed-shell interaction and mainly electrostatic dominant.

Abstract
Flavonoids are a large group of polyphenolic compounds ubiquitously present in plants. They are important components of human diet. They are recognized as potential drug candidates to be used in the treatment and prevention of a lot of pathological disorders, due to their protective effects. Baicalin (7-glucuronic acid 5, 6-dihydroxyflavone) is one of the main single active constituents isolated from the dried roots of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. The great interest on this flavonoid is due to its various pharmacological properties, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and so on, and its high accumulation in the roots of S. baicalensis. The aim of our work was to analyze the geometric and electronic properties of baicalin conformers (BCL), thus performing a complete search on the conformational space of this flavonoid in gas phase and in aqueous solution. The results indicate that the conformational space of baicalin is formed by eight conformers in gas phase and five conformers in aqueous solution optimized at B3LYP/6-311++G** theory level. BCLa2TT and BCLa1TT conformers have low stability in gas phase and very high stability in aqueous solution. This variation is related to a modification in the τ1 angle that represents the relative position of the glucuronide unit respect to the central rings of the flavan nucleus (A and C). This modification was successfully explained by examining the changes in the hydrogen bond (HB) interactions that occur in the region around the hydroxyl group located in position 6 of ring A. Besides, the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analyses indicate that BCLa2TT and BCLa1TT conformers are the most favorable conformers for interacting with positively charged species (such as metal ions) in aqueous media (such as biological fluids).
