Abstract
Sulfide-based solid-state lithium-ion batteries (SSLIB) have attracted a lot of interest globally in the past few years for their high safety and high energy density over the traditional lithium-ion batteries. However, sulfide electrolytes (SEs) are moisture-sensitive which pose significant challenges in the material preparation and cell manufacturing. To the best of our knowledge, there is no tool available to probe the types and the strength of the basic sites in sulfide electrolytes, which is crucial for understanding the moisture stability of sulfide electrolytes. Herein, we propose a new spectral probe with the Lewis base indicator BBr3 to probe the strength of Lewis basic sites on various sulfide electrolytes by 11B solid-state NMR spectroscopy (11B-NMR). The active sulfur sites and the corresponding strength of the sulfide electrolytes are successfully evaluated by the proposed Lewis base probe. The probed strength of the active sulfur sites of a sulfide electrolyte is consistent with the results of DFT (density functional theory) calculation and correlated with the H2S generation rate when the electrolyte was exposed in moisture atmosphere. This work paves a new way to investigate the basicity and moisture stability of the sulfide electrolytes.

Abstract
The self-consistent and complex spin-orbit exact two-component (X2C) formalism for NMR spin-spin coupling constants [ J. Chem. Theory Comput. 17, 2021, 3874-3994] is reduced to a scalar one-component ansatz. This way, the first-order response term can be partitioned into the Fermi-contact (FC) and spin-dipole (SD) interactions as well as the paramagnetic spin-orbit (PSO) contribution. The FC+SD terms are real and symmetric, while the PSO term is purely imaginary and antisymmetric. The relativistic one-component approach is combined with a modern density functional treatment up to local hybrid functionals including the response of the current density. Computational demands are reduced by factors of 8-24 as shown for a large tin compound consisting of 137 atoms. Limitations of the current ansatz are critically assessed for Sn, Pb, Pd, and Pt compounds, i.e. the one-component treatment is not sufficient for tin compounds featuring a few heavy halogen atoms.

Abstract
The σ-alkane complexes of transition metals, which contain an essentially intact alkane molecule weakly bound to the metal, have been well established as crucial intermediates in the activation of the strong C-H σ-bonds found in alkanes. Methane, the simplest alkane, binds even more weakly than larger alkanes. Here we report an example of a long-lived methane complex formed by directly binding methane as an incoming ligand to a reactive organometallic complex. Photo-ejection of carbon monoxide from a cationic osmium-carbonyl complex dissolved in an inert hydrofluorocarbon solvent saturated with methane at -90 °C affords an osmium(II) complex, [η5-CpOs(CO)2(CH4)]+, containing methane bound to the metal centre. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy confirms the identity of the σ-methane complex and shows that the four protons of the metal-bound methane are in rapid exchange with each other. The methane ligand has a characteristically shielded 1H NMR resonance (δ -2.16), and the highly shielded carbon resonance (δ -56.3) shows coupling to the four attached protons (1JC-H = 127 Hz). The methane complex has an effective half-life of about 13 hours at -90 °C.

Abstract
A quasi-relativistic implementation of NMR indirect spin-spin coupling constants is presented. The exact two-component (X2C) Hamiltonian and its diagonal local approximation to the unitary decoupling transformation (DLU) are utilized together with the (modified) screened nuclear spin-orbit approach. In a restricted kinetic balance, the finite nucleus model is available for both the scalar and vector potentials. The implementation supports density functionals up to the fourth rung of Jacob's ladder, i.e., (range-separated) hybrid and local hybrid functionals based on a seminumerical ansatz. We assess the quality of our quasi-relativistic X2C approach by comparison with "fully" relativistic four-component results for small main-group molecules and alkynyl compounds. The mean absolute error introduced by the DLU scheme is less than 0.05 × 1019 T J-2 of the reduced coupling constant for the small main-group molecules and 0.5 Hz for the alkynyl compounds. Thus, the error is significantly smaller than finite nucleus size effects for heavy elements. The basis set convergence and the impact of different density functional approximations are further studied. We propose a simple scheme to develop segmented-contracted relativistic all-electron basis sets for NMR spin-spin couplings. Our implementation allows us to perform calculations of extended molecules with reasonable computational effort, which is illustrated for the 1J(119Sn, 31P) coupling constant of a low-valent tin phosphinidenide complex. The corresponding results are in good agreement with the experimental findings.

Abstract
Reaction of the tricopper(I)-dinitrogen tris(β-diketiminate) cyclophane, Cu3(N2)L, with O-atom-transfer reagents or elemental Se affords the oxido-bridged tricopper complex Cu3(μ3-O)L (2) or the corresponding Cu3(μ3-Se)L (4), respectively. For 2 and 4, incorporation of the bridging chalcogen donor was supported by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) data. Cu L2,3-edge X-ray absorption data quantify 49.5% Cu 3d character in the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of 2, with Cu 3d participation decreasing to 33.0% in 4 and 40.8% in the related sulfide cluster Cu3(μ3-S)L (3). Multiedge XAS and UV/visible/near-IR spectra are employed to benchmark density functional theory calculations, which describe the copper-chalcogen interactions as highly covalent across the series of [Cu3(μ-E)]3+ clusters. This result highlights that the metal-ligand covalency is not reserved for more formally oxidized metal centers (i.e., CuIII + O2- vs CuII + O-) but rather is a significant contributor even at more typical ligand-field cases (i.e., Cu3II/II/I + E2-). This bonding is reminiscent of that observed in p-block elements rather than in early-transition-metal complexes.

Abstract
Although a fairly large number of binary group 15/16 element cations have been reported, no example involving phosphorus in combination with a group 16 element has been synthesized and characterized to date. In this contribution is reported the synthesis and structural characterization of the first example of such a cation, namely a nortricyclane-type [P3Se4](+). This cation has been independently discovered by three groups through three different synthetic routes, as described herein. The molecular and electronic structure of the [P3Se4](+) cage and its crystal properties in the solid state have been characterized comprehensively by using X-ray diffraction, Raman, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies, as well as quantum chemical calculations.

Abstract
The indirect metal-proton spin-spin coupling constants between protons in cysteine groups and the mercury or cadmium nucleus have been calculated for a small model of Me-rubredoxin complex (Me = Cd, Hg) by means of density functional theory with zeroth-order regular approximation Hamiltonian (DFT-ZORA). The calculated spin-spin coupling constants, in spite of the moderate size of the model system, are in good agreement with the values measured in NMR experiment, which are in the 0.29-0.56 Hz range for the Cd complex and in the 0.57-2.20 Hz range for the Hg complex. The robustness of the chosen method has been verified by calculations with a number of different exchange-correlation functionals and basis sets. Additionally, it has been shown that the short- and long-distance metal-proton coupling constants are affected mainly by the values of the metal-proton distance and the H-N-C-C dihedral angle.

Abstract
This perspective article discusses some broadly-known and some less broadly-known consequences of Einstein's special relativity in quantum chemistry, and provides a brief outline of the theoretical methods currently in use, along with a discussion of recent developments and selected applications. The treatment of the electron correlation problem in relativistic quantum chemistry methods, and expanding the reach of the available relativistic methods to calculate all kinds of energy derivative properties, in particular spectroscopic and magnetic properties, requires on-going efforts.

Abstract
Solvent effects on J((195)Pt-(15)N) one-bond nuclear spin-spin coupling constants (J(PtN)) of cisplatin [cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II)] and three cisplatin derivatives are investigated using a combination of density functional theory (DFT) based ab initio molecular dynamics (aiMD) and all-electron relativistic DFT NMR calculations employing the two-component relativistic zeroth-order regular approximation (ZORA). Good agreement with experiment is obtained when explicit solvent molecules are considered and when the computations are performed with a hybrid functional. Spin-orbit coupling causes only small effects on J(PtN) . Key factors contributing to the magnitude of coupling constants are elucidated, with the most significant being the presence of solvent as well as the quality of the density functional and basis set combination. The solvent effects are of the same magnitude as J(PtN) calculated for gas-phase geometries. However, the trends of J(PtN) among the complexes are already present in the gas phase. Results obtained with a continuum solvent model agree quite well with the aiMD results, provided that the Pt solvent-accessible radius is carefully chosen. The aiMD results support the existence of a partial hydrogen-bond-like inverse-hydration-type interaction affording a weak (1)J(Pt⋅⋅⋅H(w)) coupling between the complexes and the coordinating water molecule.

Abstract
Ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) and relativistic density functional NMR methods were applied to calculate the one-bond Hg-C NMR indirect nuclear spin-spin coupling constants (J) of [Hg(CN)(2) ] and [CH(3) HgCl] in solution. The MD averages were obtained as J((199) Hg-(13) C)=3200 and 1575 Hz, respectively. The experimental Hg-C spin-spin coupling constants of [Hg(CN)(2) ] in methanol and [CH(3) HgCl] in DMSO are 3143 and 1674 Hz, respectively. To deal with solvent effects in the calculations, finite "droplet" models of the two systems were set up. Solvent effects in both systems lead to a strong increase of the Hg-C coupling constant. From a relativistic natural localized molecular orbital (NLMO) analysis, it was found that the degree of delocalization of the Hg 5d(σ) nonbonding orbital and of the HgC bonding orbital between the two coupled atoms, the nature of the trans Hg-C/Cl bonding orbital, and the s character of these orbitals, exhibit trends upon solvation of the complexes that, when combined, lead to the strong increase of J(Hg-C).

Abstract
Using 31P solid-state NMR spectroscopy, anisotropy in the indirect 199Hg-31P spin-spin coupling tensor (DeltaJ) for powdered [HgPCy3(OAc)2]2 (1) has been measured as 4700 +/- 300 Hz. Zeroth-order regular approximation (ZORA) density functional theory (DFT) calculations, including scalar and spin-orbit relativistic effects, performed on 1 and a series of other related compounds show that DeltaJ(199Hg, (31)P) arises entirely from the ZORA Fermi-contact-spin-dipolar cross term. The calculations validate assumptions made in the spectral analysis of 1 and in previous determinations of DeltaJ in powder samples, namely that J is axially symmetric and shares its principal axis system with the direct dipolar coupling tensor (D). Agreement between experiment and theory for various 199Hg, 31P spin-spin coupling anisotropies is reasonable; however, experimental values of 1J(199Hg, 31P)(iso) are significantly underestimated by the calculations. The most important improvements in the agreement were obtained as a result of including more of the crystal lattice in the model used for the calculations, e.g., a change of 43% was noted for 1J(199Hg, 31P)(iso) in [HgPPh3(NO3)2]2 depending on whether the two or three nearest nitrate ions are included in the model. Finally, we have written a computer program to simulate the effects of non-axial symmetry in J and of non-coincidence of the J and D on powder NMR spectra. Simulations clearly show that both of these effects have a pronounced impact on the 31P NMR spectrum of 199Hg-31P spin pairs, suggesting that the effects should be observable experimentally if a suitable compound can be identified.
