Abstract
Recent advancements in materials science have shed light on the potential of exploring hierarchical assemblies of molecules on surfaces, driven by both fundamental and applicative challenges. This field encompasses diverse areas including molecular storage, drug delivery, catalysis, and nanoscale chemical reactions. In this context, the utilization of nanotube templates (NTs) has emerged as promising platforms for achieving advanced one-dimensional (1D) molecular assemblies. NTs offer cylindrical, crystalline structures with high aspect ratios, capable of hosting molecules both externally and internally (Mol@NT). Furthermore, NTs possess a wide array of available diameters, providing tunability for tailored assembly. This review underscores recent breakthroughs in the field of Mol@NT. The first part focuses on the diverse panorama of structural properties in Mol@NT synthesized in the last decade. The advances in understanding encapsulation, adsorption, and ordering mechanisms are detailed. In a second part, the review highlights the physical interactions and photophysics properties of Mol@NT obtained by the confinement of molecules and nanotubes in the van der Waals distance regime. The last part of the review describes potential applicative fields of these 1D heterostructures, providing specific examples in photovoltaics, luminescent materials, and bio-imaging. A conclusion gathers current challenges and perspectives of the field to foster discussion in related communities.

Theoretical design of alkaline earthides M +(3 6 adz) Be - (M + = V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) with excellent nonlinear optical response and ultraviolet transparency. J Mol Graph Model 2024; 130:108791.

Abstract
A novel series of alkaline earthides containing eight complexes based upon 36adz complexant are designed by placing carefully transition metals (V-Zn) on inner side and alkaline earth metal outer side of the complexant i.e., M+(36adz) Be- (M+ = V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn). All the designed compounds are electronically and thermodynamically stable as evaluated by their interaction energy and vertical ionization potential respectively. Moreover, the true nature of alkaline earthides is verified through NBOs and FMO study, showing negative charge and excess electrons on alkaline earth metal respectively. Furthermore, true alkaline earthides characteristics are evaluated graphically by spectra of partial density state (PDOS). The energy gap (HOMO -LUMO gap) is very small (ranging 2.95 eV-1.89 eV), when it is compared with pure cage 36adz HOMO-LUMO gap i.e., 8.50 eV. All the complexes show a very small value of transition energy ranging from 1.68eV to 0.89eV. Also, these possess higher hyper polarizability values up to 2.8 x 105au (for Co+(36adz) Be-). Furthermore, an increase in hyper polarizability was observed by applying external electric field on complexes. The remarkable increase of 100fold in hyper polarizability of Zn+(36adz) Be- complex is determined after application of external electric field i.e., from 1.7 x 104 au to 1.7 x 106 au when complex is subjected to external electric field of 0.001 au strength. So, when external electric field is applied on complexes it enhances the charge transfer, polarizability and hyper polarizability of complexes and proves to be effective for designing of true alkaline earthides with remarkable NLO response.

Abstract
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) was employed to obtain the global minimum of host-guest structures consisting of a triiodobenzene molecule (BzI3) inside an armchair (m,m) nanotube (BzI3@(m,m)), whose host-guest interactions are approximated by Lennard-Jones (LJ) potentials. The host-guest structures obtained using the PSO-LJ method were then compared with those obtained through dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) calculations to evaluate the performance of the PSO-LJ approach in predicting the guest orientation inside a tube. When the inner space of the host tube is limited for guest encapsulation, the PSO-LJ method can reproduce the DFT results of BzI3@(m,m) in terms of the guest orientation. Conversely, in nanotubes with a sufficiently large space to allow a guest to freely move, corresponding to weak tube confinement, the PSO-LJ method yields guest orientations that are different from those obtained through DFT calculations; however, both methods obtain energetically close guest orientations. Accordingly, PSO-LJ method-assisted DFT calculations can quickly provide energetically stable guest orientations in BzI3@(m,m) in weak tube confinement, which can be ignored in DFT calculations, where a single initial geometry is typically used.

Abstract
DFT-based calculations were employed to investigate mechanisms of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions between phenylacetylene and an azide (phenylazide or benzylazide) inside carbon nanotubes, whose diameters range from 10 to 14 Å, by obtaining their reaction species (reactant complex, transition state (TS), and product (Pro)). The reactions yield 1,4- and 1,5-triazoles, whose paths are denoted by 1,4- and 1,5-approaches, respectively. We found different geometrical features of reaction species between 1,4- and 1,5-approaches. Reflecting different reaction species, nanotube confinement has the power to enhance kinetically and thermodynamically controlled regioselectivity of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions to form 1,4-triazoles. In inner 1,4-approaches, the reaction species have planar structures, being small relative to the cavity of tube hosts, and then, their activation energies are slightly lowered relative to those without tube surroundings, independent of the tube diameter. In inner 1,5-approaches, reaction species have phenyl groups overlapping each other, depending on the tube diameter: L-shaped and stacking fashions are found in thick and thin tubes, respectively. Particularly, the stacking fashion in thin tubes results in repulsive orbital interactions between two phenyl rings, destabilizing their TS and Pro. The presence of overlapping phenyl groups increases the activation energies in the 1,5-approaches with a decrease in the tube diameter, being larger than those without tube surroundings.

Abstract
Dispersion-corrected DFT calculations were performed on (a,a) nanotubes (a = 5-10) attached by a U-shaped functional group consisting of p-xylene-linked double 9,10-di(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-9,10-dihydro anthracene terminated by CnH2n chains (n = 6, 8, and 9), and their ring-closing macrocycles containing tubes. The reactant precursors and macrocycles are denoted by UP-n-(a,a) and (a,a)@Cycle-n, respectively. We found that UP-n-(a,a) are energetically preferable relative to the dissociation limit toward a U-shaped functional group (UP-n) and a tube (initial state) due to the attractive CH-π and π-π interactions. The attractive interactions are enhanced by increasing the tube diameters and CnH2n chain lengths because UP-n structures can be easily adjusted to interact with the tubes. The stability of (a,a)@Cycle-n and related (a,b)@Cycle-n is sensitive to tube diameters due to the restriction of ring structures. When diameter differences between a Cycle-n and a tube (D-d) are larger than 5 Å, (a,a)@Cycle-n plus C2H4 are energetically preferable relative to the initial state. However, the (a,a)@Cycle-n plus C2H4 byproduct is always energetically unstable relative to UP-n-(a,a). The DFT calculations found that the energy differences were low at D-d values ranging from 7 to 8 Å, explaining the tube-diameter-selective formation of the mechanically-interlocked tubes, observed experimentally.

Abstract
A new strategy to design new molecules based on a fused hydrocarbon ring system comprising a COT ring and two 5-membered rings has been proposed for the study of second order NLO properties. The four charge transferring groups -NR2 (R = H, Li, Na and K) in conjunction with a sufficient number of electron withdrawing groups lead to significant variation of structural parameters and polarity. The charge transfer characteristics can be strongly modulated by introducing calcium metal atoms at suitable sites. Ca metal atoms end-capping the nitrogen ends of two adjacent -CN groups lead to electride character while a Ca metal atom bonded directly to the COT ring leads to greater charge transfer. The size of the alkali metal atom has been found to have a dramatic effect on the enhancement of first hyperpolarizability. The most significant electronic asymmetry induced by the larger potassium metal atom strongly enhances the magnitude of first hyperpolarizability. The variation of first hyperpolarizability has been satisfactorily explained in terms of TD-CAMB3LYP calculated spectroscopic parameters in light of the two-state model.
