Abstract
Lysosome imaging plays an important role in diagnosing many diseases and understanding various intracellular processes. Recently, B0 was reported as a fluorescent probe capable of detecting lysosomal viscosity changes. BODIPY is fused into the molecule as a bridge between the acceptor and donor components of B0, yielding nine new B molecules. Computational design and analysis of their optoelectronic properties were conducted to evaluate their effectiveness as fluorescent probes for lysosome imaging, with a specific target of HSA inside lysosomes. Optimized geometries reveal excellent π electron delocalization, resulting in nearly planar molecular structures. Frontier molecular orbital analysis suggests intramolecular charge transfer, along with π-π* transitions, from donor to bridge. TD-DFT calculations were performed to study absorption properties in the solvent phase, with B3PW91 showing good agreement with experiments. Molecular docking studies indicate that B derivatives can bind with HSA, and molecular dynamics simulations confirm their HSA targeting ability. This investigation highlights the introduction of BODIPY as a bridge for developing new probes capable of producing NIR fluorescence for bio-imaging, aiding in disease diagnosis.

Abstract
The diversified design of hybrid artificial layers is a promising method for suppressing the Li dendrite growth and maintaining high Colombic efficiency of lithium (Li) metal anode. Previously, various kinds of organic/inorganic hybrid artificial layers were constructed on the Li metal anode and possessed a positive effect on electrochemical performance. However, the tunable synthesis of artificial layers to continuously regulate the Li diffusion behavior remains a challenge. In this work, the Li diffusion behavior could be tuned by modulating the proportion of components (LiClO4, PMMA and ferrocene (Fc)) in the hybrid artificial layer (LF layer). After optimizing the proportion of each component, the resultant artificial SEI layer exhibits a high Li+ transference number (tLi+ = 0.66) and a high Young's modulus (4.8 GPa). Based on the excellent properties of the as-constructed Fc-based artificial SEI layer, a high-performance lithium anode with no volume effect and dendrite growth is achieved. The Li||Li symmetric cells with a Fc-based artificial SEI layer yielded a stable cycle performance for 1500 h with a high current density of 10 mA cm-2. The pouch cell with LF@Li anode coupled with high-loading LiFePO4 cathode (12.8 mg cm-2) exhibits excellent cyclic stability for 250 cycles with a capacity retention of 75% at 0.5C rate.

Abstract
The luminal A-subtype of breast cancer, where the oestrogen receptor α (ERα) is overexpressed, is the most frequent one. The prodrug tamoxifen (1) is the clinically used agent, inhibiting the ERα activity via the formation of several active metabolites, such as 4-hydroxytamoxifen (2) or 4,4'-dihydroxytamoxifen (3). In this study, we present the tamoxifen derivative 4-[1,1-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)but-1-en-2-yl]-2,2'-bipyridine (4), which was combined with platinum or palladium dichloride, the former a well-known scaffold in anticancer treatment, to give [PtCl2(4-κ2N,N')] (5) or [PdCl2(4-κ2N,N'] (6). To prevent fast exchange of weakly coordinating chlorido ligands in aqueous solution, a bulky, highly stable and hydrophobic nido-carborate(-2) ([C2B9H11]2-) was incorporated. The resulting complexes [3-(4-κ2N,N')-3,1,2-PtC2B9H11] (7) and [3-(4-κ2N,N')-3,1,2-PdC2B9H11] (8) exhibit a dramatic change in electronic and biological properties compared to 5 and 6. Thus, 8 is highly selective for triple-negative MDA-MB-231 cells (IC50 = 3.7 μM, MTT test), while 7 is completely inactive against this cell line. The observed cytotoxicity of compounds 4-6 and 8 against this triple-negative cell line suggests off-target mechanisms rather than only ERα inhibition, for which these compounds were originally designed. Spectroscopic properties and electronic structures of the metal complexes were investigated for possible explanations of the biological activities.

Abstract
I studied the elastic properties of crystalline L- and DL-forms of leucine and isoleucine within the framework of density functional theory with van der Waals interactions. The energy gaps of the considered crystals are 7.48-7.60 eV. Chiral molecules have the same chemical composition. Therefore, the study of crystalline amino acids provides a better understanding of how the structure of molecules affects mechanical properties of molecular crystals. Complete set of elastic constants for L-leucine, L-isoleucine, DL-leucine and DL-isoleucine were calculated. Linear compressibility of crystals has high anisotropy. The crystalline L- and DL-forms of leucine and isoleucine have different mechanical properties. Linear compressibility has a negative value for DL-isoleucine. My calculations predict that L-leucine and L-isoleucine are ductile compounds, while DL-leucine and DL-isoleucine are brittle compounds.

Abstract
High level quantum mechanical computations and extensive stochastic searches of the potential energy surfaces of the Alanine dimers uncover rich and complex structural and interaction landscapes. A total of 416 strongly bound (up 13.4 kcal mol-1 binding energies at the DLPNO-CCSD(T)/6-311++G(d,p) level corrected by the basis set superposition error and by the zero point vibrational energies over B3LYP-D3 geometries), close energy equilibrium structures were located, bonded via 32 specific types of intermolecular contacts including Y⋅⋅⋅H-X primary and Y⋅⋅⋅H-C secondary hydrogen bonds, H⋅⋅⋅H dihydrogen contacts, and non conventional anti-electrostatic Y δ - ⋯ X δ - interactions. The putative global minimum is triply degenerate, corresponding to the structure of the common dimer of a carboxylic acid. All quantum descriptors of chemical bonding point to a multitude of weak individual interactions within each dimer, whose cumulative effect results in large binding energies and in an attractive fluxional wall of non-covalent interactions in the interstitial region between the monomers.

Abstract
Hydroxides of superalkalis (particularly, K- and Na-related species) are shown for the first time to function as superbases. A new small series of hydroxides (XM n+1OH) is designed based on superalkali species (XM n+1) where M (K and Na) is alkali metal atoms, n is the maximal formal valence of the central atom X (F, O, and N), and n ≥ 1. To probe whether such fascinating polynuclear superalkali hydroxides (SAHs), especially the K- and Na-associated moieties are as basic as the representative alkali metal hydroxides (KOH, NaOH, and LiOH) as well as similar Li-based SAHs, a comprehensive computational exploration (in the gas phase) has been reported using the framework of an ab initio method. The ab initio calculations reveal that both the K- and Na-related SAHs consisting of larger gas-phase proton affinity (PA) and gas-phase basicity (GB) values demonstrate stronger basic character compared to the LiOH and Li-based SAHs. However, the available SAHs act as strong bases as well as superbases; among the proposed K- and Na-based SAHs, remarkably, the OK3OH moiety having the highest PA (1168.4 kJ/mol) and GB (1146.9 kJ/mol) values shows the evidence of the strongest basicity (i.e., superbase/hyperbase), which exceed enough (ΔPA: 142.1 kJ/mol and ΔGB: 146.9 kJ/mol) the IUPAC-defined superbasicity threshold values (PA: 1026.3 kJ/mol and GB: 1000 kJ/mol) of 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene (DMAN). Furthermore, theoretical signatures have been predicted via the electronic structure calculation approach in probing the dissociation energy, ionization potential, electron affinity, HOMO-LUMO gap, and chemical hardness as well as the NCI plot and QTAIM tools are used for the bonding feature analysis and such parameters are well linked with the basicity analyzing parameters. In this study, the ab initio-based computational experiments provide some new insights into the basicity features and understanding of the structural and electronic features of a small series of designed K- and Na-related SAHs. Design and synthesis of such theoretically examined SAHs may pave alternative routes for the experimentally rewarding applications.

Abstract
Two pressure-induced phase transitions have been theoretically studied in the layered iron phosphorus triselenide (FePSe3 ). Topological analysis of chemical bonding in FePSe3 has been performed based on the results of first-principles calculations within the periodic linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) method with hybrid Hartree-Fock-DFT B3LYP functional. The first transition at about 6 GPa is accompanied by the symmetry change from R 3 ¯ to C2/m, whereas the semiconductor-to-metal transition (SMT) occurs at about 13 GPa leading to the symmetry change from C2/m to P 3 ¯ 1 m . We found that the collapse of the band gap at about 13 GPa occurs due to changes in the electronic structure of FePSe3 induced by relative displacements of phosphorus or selenium atoms along the c-axis direction under pressure. The results of the topological analysis of the electron density and its Laplacian demonstrate that the pressure changes not only the interatomic distances but also the bond nature between the intralayer and interlayer phosphorus atoms. The interlayer P-P interactions are absent in two non-metallic FePSe3 phases while after SMT the intralayer P-P interactions weaken and the interlayer P-P interactions appear.

Abstract
I studied the elastic properties of oligoacenes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons crystals within the framework of density functional theory with van der Waals interactions. The full sets of elastic constants were computed. The computed parameters have good agreement with experimental data. The study of four forms (α, β, γ and dimeric) demonstrate that the stacking of molecules leads to different character of interaction between molecules. Crystals with dimeric form have lower anisotropy. If symmetry of crystals is the same, the increase in number of aromatic rings results in anisotropy increase.

Abstract
At present, physicochemical properties of amino acid molecular crystals are of the utmost interest. The compounds where molecules have different chirality are the focus of particular interest. This paper, presents a study on the structural and electronic properties of crystalline L- and DL-valine within the framework of density functional theory including van der Waals interactions. The results of this study showed that electronic properties of the two forms of valine are similar at zero pressure. Pressure leads to different responses in these crystals which is manifested as various deformations of molecules. The pressure effect on the infrared spectra and distribution of electron density of L- and DL-valine has been studied.
