Abstract
Polymer materials suffer mechano-oxidative deterioration or degradation in the presence of molecular oxygen and mechanical forces. In contrast, aerobic biological activities combined with mechanical stimulus promote tissue regeneration and repair in various organs. A synthetic approach in which molecular oxygen and mechanical energy synergistically initiate polymerization will afford similar robustness in polymeric materials. Herein, aerobic mechanochemical reversible-deactivation radical polymerization was developed by the design of an organic mechano-labile initiator which converts oxygen into activators in response to ball milling, enabling the reaction to proceed in the air with low-energy input, operative simplicity, and the avoidance of potentially harmful organic solvents. In addition, this approach not only complements the existing methods to access well-defined polymers but also has been successfully employed for the controlled polymerization of (meth)acrylates, styrenic monomers and solid acrylamides as well as the synthesis of polymer/perovskite hybrids without solvent at room temperature which are inaccessible by other means.

Abstract
The halogen bonds (XB) formed by the two isomers 4-methyl pyridine (MePy) and aniline (ANL) with heptafluoro-1-propyl iodide (n-C3F7I) and heptafluoro-2-propyl iodide (iso-C3F7I) were investigated using vibrational (FT-IR and Raman) spectroscopy and quantum mechanical calculations. While these two isomers indicated a distinctive impact on the ring related vibrations, molecular electrostatic potential, frontier molecular orbitals, intermolecular electron density delocalisation and consequential charge transfer upon halogen bonding with n-C3F7I and iso-C3F7I, the dramatic intermolecular charge transfer (CT) occurring on the MePy involved XB systems demonstrated an ion-pair like aggregation. Such aggregation, after 72 h and longer after mixing, leads to an emission of fluorescence for both [MePy·C3F7I] systems. The resulting nano-sized aggregates were characterised using UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy along with scanning and transmittance electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), wherein, the XB complex with iso-C3F7I showed a faster and more severe aggregation due to a stronger CT than that with n-C3F7I. The present work is the first case of aggregation induced emission (AIE) due to aggregation of XB complexes formed by small neutral molecules.

Abstract
Supramolecular synthon is identified as a unit and provides important structural and energetic information in the study of organic crystals. However, the direct estimation of the supramolecular interaction remains challenging. In the present work six polyhalogenated di- or triamino pyridines were synthesised, their crystalline structure was characterised, and corresponding supramolecular synthons were studied using a combination of quantum mechanical calculations and FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy. Some distinctive features were identified especially for three vibrational normal modes (RNMs) related to the pyridine ring (viz. RNM1, RNM3 and RNM7) in the vibrational spectra (FT-IR and Raman) of the solid samples, which are due to the supramolecular interactions, hydrogen bond (hb) in particular, according to the quantum mechanical calculations. The comparison between the IR and Raman spectra of experimental and simulated results indicates that the adjacent intermolecular hydrogen bonds between two same molecules extensively exist in the solid samples. Moreover, some quantitative correlation was established among the dimerisation energies for hb dimers (hb1 dimers for compounds 1 and 2), the ring structure defined by the distribution of the substituents and quantitative characteristics of the vibrational spectra, for instance, the splitting magnitudes for RNM3(2) in IR spectra and the peak gap between RNM1 and RNM2 in Raman spectra.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (SE-CARS) takes advantage of surface plasmon resonances supported on metallic nanostructures to amplify the coherent Raman response of target molecules. While these metallic antennas have found significant success in SE-CARS studies, photoinduced morphological changes to the nanoantenna under ultrafast excitation introduce significant hurdles in terms of stability and reproducilibty. These hurdles need to be overcome in order to establish SE-CARS as a reliable tool for rapid biomolecular sensing. Here, we address this challenge by performing molecular CARS measurements enhanced by nanoantennas made from high-index dielectric particles with more favorable thermal properties. We present the first experimental demonstration of enhanced molecular CARS signals observed at Si nanoantennas, which offer much improved thermal stability compared to their metallic counterparts.

Abstract
![]()
The antioxidative
nature of chemicals is now routinely studied
using computational quantum chemistry. Scientists are constantly proposing
new approaches to investigate those methods, and the subject is evolving
at a rapid pace. The goal of this review is to collect, consolidate,
and present current trends in a clear, methodical, and reference-rich
manner. This paper is divided into several sections, each of which
corresponds to a different stage of elaborations: preliminary concerns,
electronic structure analysis, and general reactivity (thermochemistry
and kinetics). The sections are further subdivided based on methodologies
used. Concluding remarks and future perspectives are presented based
on the remaining elements.

Abstract
Seven polyhalogenated pyridine derivatives bearing an amino or a hydroxyl group, either at the ortho or para position, were studied using a combined experimental and computational approach. The presence of an electron donating substituent strongly impacted on the geometry, electronic structure, electrostatic properties, molecular topology and vibrational characteristics of these compounds compared to the corresponding polyhalogenated pyridines. In particular the attention was focused on changes in wavenumbers, force constants and intensity of the seven in-plane Ring Normal Modes (RNMs). Due to the nature and position of the substituents, intra- and intermolecular interactions also underwent dramatic modifications, as revealed using Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) analysis, Non-Covalent Interaction (NCI) analysis and Atom-In-Molecule (AIM) theory. Raman and FT-IR spectra of these seven compounds were also collected in solid phase and rationalised by the simulated spectra for hydrogen bonding and/or π-π stacking based homodimers. The present study provides a strategy not only for the vibrational characterisation for the individual compounds, but also for shedding light on the ways of molecular packing in the molecular crystals or cocrystals involving these compounds.

Abstract
Seven partially and fully fluorinated/chlorinated pyridines were investigated by means of FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy combined with quantum chemical calculations, mainly aiming to detect how the nature and position of F and Cl substituents affect the in-plane ring normal modes (RNMs) of pyridines in terms of vibrational wavenumbers, force constants, IR intensities and Raman activities. Taking pyridine as the reference, the RNMs and some derived RNMs through coupling with related C-X (X = F, Cl) stretching vibrations were identified on the basis of their composition in terms of internal coordinates. The impact of fluorination and chlorination on these RNMs was also discussed from the perspective of frontier molecular orbitals (MOs), maps of the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and the molecular topology. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis revealed the consequences of substitutions on the intramolecular charge delocalisation and consequently the ring bond strength. Moreover, the effects of anharmonicity of the potential on vibrational frequencies were presented and discussed.
