Abstract
The rapid development of deep learning techniques has driven the emergence of a neural network-based variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method (referred to as FermiNet), which has manifested high accuracy and strong predictive power in the electronic structure calculations of atoms, molecules, and some periodic systems. Recently, the implementation of the effective core potential (ECP) scheme has further facilitated more efficient calculations in practice. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive assessments of the ECP's performance under the FermiNet. In this work, we set sail to fill this gap by conducting extensive tests on the first two row elements regarding their atomic, spectral, and molecular properties. Our major finding is that, in general, the qualities of ECPs have been correctly reflected under FermiNet. Two recently built ECP tables, namely, correlation consistent ECP (ccECP) and energy consistent correlated electron pseudopotential (eCEPP), seem to prevail in terms of overall performance. In particular, ccECP performs slightly better on spectral precision and covers more elements, while eCEPP is more systematically built from both shape and energy consistency and better treats the core polarization. On the other hand, the high accuracy of the all-electron calculations is hindered by the absence of relativistic effects as well as the numerical instabilities in some heavier elements. Finally, with further in-depth discussions, we generate possible directions for developing and improving FermiNet in the near future.

Abstract
Atomic substitution is a promising approach for controlling structures and properties for developing clusters with desired responses. Although many possible coordination candidates could be deduced for substitution, not all can be prepared. Therefore, predicting the correlation between structures and physical properties is important prior to synthesis. In this study, regarding Keggin-type polyoxometalates (POMs) as a model cluster, the dominant factors affecting the protonation were investigated by atomic substitutions and geometry changes. The valence of Keggin-type POMs and the constituent elements of the cluster shell structure affect the charge and potential distribution, which change the protonation sites. Furthermore, the valence of Keggin-type POMs and the bond length between the core and shell structure determine the protonation energy. These factors also affect the HOMO-LUMO gap, which governs photochemical and redox reactions. These governing factors derived from actual parameters of the α-isomer of Keggin-type POMs enabled us to deduce the protonation energy of the β-isomer, which is more difficult to prepare and isolate than the α-isomer.

Abstract
The experimental identification of NgBeO molecules, followed by the recent theoretical exploration of super-strong NgBO+ (Ng = He-Rn) ions motivated us to investigate the stability of iso-electronic NgBNH+ (Ng = He-Rn) ions using various ab initio-based quantum chemical methods. The hydrogen-like chemical behavior of gold in small clusters and molecules also inspired us to study the nature of the bonding interactions in NgBNAu+ ions compared to that in NgBNH+ ions. The calculated Ng-B bond lengths in the predicted ions have been found to be much lower than the corresponding covalent limits, indicating a covalent Ng-B interaction in both the NgBNH+ and NgBNAu+ ions. In addition, the Ng-B bond dissociation energies are found to be in the range of 136.7-422.8 kJ mol-1 for NgBNH+ and 77.4-319.1 kJ mol-1 for NgBNAu+, implying the stable nature of the predicted ions. Interestingly, the Ng-B bond length (except for Ne) is the lowest reported to date together with the highest He-B and Ne-B binding energies considering all the neutral and cationic complexes containing Ng-B bonding motifs. Moreover, the natural bonding orbital (NBO) and electron density-based atoms-in-molecule (AIM) analysis reveal the covalent nature of the Ng-B bond in the predicted ions. Furthermore, the energy decomposition analysis together with the natural bond orbital in the chemical valence (EDA-NOCV) studies indicate that the orbital interaction energy is the main contributor to the total attraction energy in the Ng-B bonds. All the calculated results indicate the hydrogen-like chemical behavior of gold in the predicted NgBNM+ ions, showing further evidence of the concept of "gold-hydrogen analogy". Also, for comparison, the corresponding Cu and Ag analogs are investigated. All the computed results together with the experimental identification of the NgMX (Ng = Ar-Xe; M = Cu, Ag, Au; X = F, Cl), ArOH+, and NgBeO (Ng = Ar-Xe) systems clearly indicate that it may be possible to prepare and characterize the predicted NgBNM+ ions experimentally using suitable technique(s).

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 306:123484. [PMID: 37898056 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.123484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/01/2023] [Indexed: 10/30/2023]
Abstract
Cryptophane molecules are cage-like structures consisting in two hemispheres, each made of three benzene rings. These hemispheres are bound together with three O(CH2)nOlinkers of various lengths giving rise to a plethora of cryptophane derivatives. Moreover, they are able to encapsulate neutral guests: CH2Cl2, CHCl3, …; and charged species: Cs+, Tl+, …. Finally, they exhibit chiroptical properties thanks to the anti arrangement of the linkers between the hemispheres. This work focuses on the Raman optical activity (ROA) signatures of Cryptophane-111 (n=1 for each linker). More specifically, we aim at simulating accurately its ROA spectra with and without a xenon atom inside its cavity. Experimental data (Buffeteau et al., 2017) have already demonstrated the effect of the encapsulation in the low-wavenumbers region. To generate the initial structures, we rely on the novel Conformer-Rotamer Ensemble Sampling Tool (CREST) program, developed by S. Grimme and co-workers. This is required due to the flexibility provided by the linkers. The CREST algorithm seems promising and has already been used to sample the potential energy surface (PES) of target systems before the simulation of their vibrational spectroscopies (Eikås et al., 2022). We observe large similarities between the two sets of conformers (one with and one without Xe encapsulated), demonstrating the robustness of the CREST algorithm. For corresponding structures, the presence of xenon pushed the two hemispheres slightly further apart. After optimization at the DFT level, only one unique conformer has a Boltzmann population ratio greater than 1%, pointing out the relative rigidity of the cage. Based on this unique conformer, our simulations are in good agreement with the experimental data. Regarding xenon encapsulation, the (experimental and theoretical) ROA signatures at low wavenumbers are impacted: slight shifts in wavenumbers are observed as well as a decrease in relative ROA intensity for bands around 150 cm-1. The wavenumber shifts were very well reproduced by our simulations, but the experimental decrease in the ROA intensity was unfortunately not reproduced.

Abstract
The alkynylation of 4-siloxyquinolinium triflates has been achieved under the influence of copper bis(oxazoline) catalysis. The identification of the optimal bis(oxazoline) ligand was informed through a computational approach that enabled the dihydroquinoline products to be produced with up to 96% enantiomeric excess. The conversions of the dihydroquinoline products to biologically relevant and diverse targets are reported.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanodiamonds, that is, those containing optically active defects, have attracted interest for their ability to be used as qubits; for in vivo imaging; and as sensors for spin, stress, and temperature. One of the most commonly studied nanodiamond color centers is the nitrogen vacancy. However, there is strong interest in discovering other impurity centers that provide localized midband gap transitions. Noble gas atoms have garnered attention since they have been discovered within nanodiamonds produced through high-pressure-high-temperature laser-heated diamond anvil cell synthesis methods, where they are commonly used as hydrostatic pressure media. Noble gas atoms that exist in macrosized natural or synthetic diamonds have been shown to be able to form color centers. This research uses ab initio density functional theory and cluster models to systematically study the localized electronic structure for group VIII impurities of nanodiamond, including helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon. An in-depth examination of the interaction between the noble gas atom and diamond lattice has been carried out. The changes to the vibrational and UV/vis absorption spectra have been analyzed. It was determined that the energetically preferred geometry is dependent on the atom size. Most noble gas defects are stabilized within the nanodiamond lattice and exist in tetrahedral interstitial positions, except for the largest noble gas studied in this work, Xe, which was determined to prefer a substitutional configuration. Both Kr and Xe are expected to be able to manifest visible/near-IR optical responses when included in the diamond lattice.

Abstract
Removal of a β,β'-bond from meso-tetraarylporphyrin using [3 + 2]-cycloadditions generates meso-tetraarylhydroporphyrins. Literature evidence indicates that meso-tetraphenylporphyrins react more sluggishly with 1,3-dipoles such as ylides and OsO4 (in the presence of pyridine) than meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin. The trend is counterintuitive for the reaction with OsO4, as this formal oxidation reaction is expected to proceed more readily with more electron-rich substrates. This work presents a density functional theory-based computational study of the frontier molecular orbital (FMO) interactions and reaction profile thermodynamics involved in the reaction of archetypical cycloaddition reactions (a simple ylide, OsO4, OsO4·py, OsO4·(py)2, and ozone) with the β,β'-double bonds of variously fluorinated meso-arylporphyrins. The trend observed for the Type I cycloaddition of an ylide is straightforward, as lowering the LUMO of the porphyrin with increasing meso-phenyl-fluorination also lowers the reaction barrier. The corresponding simple FMO analyses of Type III cycloadditions do not correctly model the reaction energetics. This is because increasing fluorination leads to lowering of the porphyrin HOMO-2, thus increasing the reaction barrier. However, coordination of pyridine to OsO4 preorganizes the transition state complex; lowering of the energy barrier by the preorganization exceeds the increase in repulsive orbital interactions, overall accelerating the cycloaddition and rationalizing the counterintuitive experimental findings.

Abstract
Inspired by the overwhelming exploration of noble gas-boron (Ng-B) bond containing chemical compounds, the stability of the Ng bound BY+ and AlY+ (Y = O and S) has been investigated by using various ab initio based quantum chemical methods. Ng atoms are found to form exceptionally strong bonds with BO+ species in the predicted NgBO+ (Ng = He-Rn) complexes with remarkably high Ng-B dissociation energies ranging from 138.0 to 462.2 kJ mol-1 for the He-Rn series. It is the highest ever Ng-B binding energy in conjunction with the smallest Ng-B bond length for any of the cationic species involving a Ng-B bond as reported until today. More importantly, the calculated Ng-B bond lengths have been found to be much lower than the respective covalent limits in both NgBO+ and NgBS+ ions. The electronegativity difference between O and S atoms has been reflected nicely in the Ng-B and Ng-Al binding energies, which are found to be 91.9-346.5, 9.6-169.2, and 6.8-142.1 kJ mol-1 in NgBS+, NgAlO+, and NgAlS+, respectively. The strong covalent bonding between Ng and B/Al atoms in the predicted chemical systems has also been supported by the natural bonding orbital (NBO) and electron density based atoms-in-molecule (AIM) analysis. In addition, the energy decomposition analysis (EDA) in combination with the natural bond orbital for chemical valence (NOCV) indicates that the orbital interaction term is the prime contributor to the total attraction energy in the Ng-B and Ng-Al bonds. Furthermore, Ng-B and Ng-Al bonding can be assessed using the donor-acceptor model where the σ-electron donation that takes place from Ng (HOMO) → XY+ (LUMO) (X = B and Al; Y = O and S) is the major contributor to the orbital interaction energy. All the computational results along with the very recent experimental observation of ArOH+ and NgMX (Ng = Ar-Xe; M = Cu, Ag, Au; X = F, Cl) clearly indicate that it might be possible to synthesize and characterize these superstrong complexes, NgXY+ (Ng = He-Rn; X = B and Al; Y = O and S), under suitable experimental technique(s).

Abstract
Synthetic procedures providing straightforward access to the whole family of Nb and Ta halide clusters with terminal cyanide ligands have been developed. Corresponding [M6X12(CN)12]4- (M = Nb, Ta; X = Cl, Br) can be accessed by ligand-exchange procedures from K4Nb6X18 (X = Cl, Br) and Bu4NCN, (Et4N)2[Ta6Cl18] and Bu4NCN and from [Ta6Br12(H2O)4Br2]·4H2O and KCN in moderate to high yields (50-80%). The products were isolated as Bu4N salts. The compounds were investigated both experimentally and by quantum chemistry, revealing correlations between structural, electrochemical, electrostatic, electronic, and topological features as a function of type of metal, halide, and charge.

Abstract
A benzothiazole-substituted derivative (X) of 1,3-diaza-2-oxophenoxazine was evaluated with respect to its ability to engage in Ag(I)-mediated homo base pair formation in two different DNA duplexes. The metal binding was determined by a combination of temperature-dependent UV spectroscopy, CD spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy, indicating the incorporation of two Ag(I) ions to generate a dinuclear X-Ag(I)2-X base pair. Interestingly, a luminescence increase was observed upon metal binding. Theoretical luminescence spectra were calculated using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) for all possible Ag(I)-mediated X : X base pair geometries to identify the species responsible for the increase in luminescence. The study shows that even bulky non-planar artificial nucleobases can be applied to form stabilizing metal-mediated base pairs.

Abstract
This is the first comprehensive investigation on the anionic species formed during collisions of fast neutral potassium (K) atoms with neutral hexachlorobenzene (C6Cl6) molecules in the laboratory frame range from 10 up to 100 eV. In such ion-pair formation experiments we also report a novel K+ energy loss spectrum obtained in the forward scattering giving evidence of the most accessible electronic states. The vertical electron affinity of (-3.76 ± 0.20) eV has been obtained and assigned to a purely repulsive transition from the C6Cl6 ground state to a state of the temporary negative ion yielding Cl- formation. These experimental findings are also supported by state-of-the art theoretical calculations on the electronic structure of C6Cl6 in the presence of a potassium atom and are used for analysing the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals participating in the collision process. From the time-of-flight mass spectra recorded in the wide collision energy range, more than 80% of the total anion yield is due to the undissociated parent anion C6Cl6-, C6Cl5- and Cl- formation. Other fragment anions such as C6Cl4-, C3Cl2-, C2Cl- and Cl2- that undergo complex internal reactions with the temporary negative ion formed after electron transfer account for less than 20% of the total yield. The joint experimental and theoretical methodologies employed in these electron transfer studies provide the most comprehensive and unique assignments of the hexachlorobenzene anionic species and the role of C6Cl6 electronic states in collision induced dissociation to date.

Abstract
Methylene-selective C-H functionalization is a significant hurdle that remains to be addressed in the field of Pd(II) catalysis. We report a Pd(II)-catalyzed synthesis of benzocyclobutenes by methylene-selective C(sp3)-H arylation of ketones. The reaction utilizes glycine as a transient directing group and a 2-pyridone ligand, which may govern the methylene selectivity by making intimate molecular associations with the substrate during concerted metalation-deprotonation. This reaction is shown to be highly selective for intramolecular methylene C(sp3)-H arylation, thus enabling sequential C(sp3)-H functionalization.

Abstract
In this paper, the mechanism of the full catalytic cycle for binuclear Cu(I)-catalyzed sulfonyl azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction for the synthesis of triazolopyrimidines was rationalized by density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations. The computed reaction route consists of: (a) formation of dicopper intermediates, including C-H activation of terminal alkyne, 3+2 ring cycloaddition and ring-reducing reaction and transmetalation, (b) interrupted CuAAC reaction, including di-copper catalyzed ring-opening of 2H-azirines and C-C bond formation to generate the copper-triazoles and -ketenimines, (c) two-step C-N cross-coupling and following (d) multi-step hydrogen transfer by the hydrogen bonding chain of water to promote the C-N formation and another C-N cleavage through the removal of p-tolyl sulfonamides. Our DFT results indicate that the multi-step hydrogen transfer process is the rate-determining step along the potential energy surface profile. The explicit water model was used for systematic determination of barrier for C-C cross-coupling, C-N bond formation and cleavage, and p-tolylsulfonamide removal. A critical insight in the interrupted CuAAC reaction was proposed. Further prediction interprets H2 O hydrogen bond chain plays an important role in C-N bond formation and cleavage, and the removal of p-tolylsulfonamide. This may have fundamental guidance on the design of 1, 5-herterocyclic functionalized triazolopyrimidines via interrupted CuAAC rearrangement reaction, as well as hydrogen bond chain of water.

Abstract
Benefiting from the advantages of cost-effectiveness and sustainability, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are recognized as a next-generation energy technology with great development potential. Herein, niobium oxide hydrate (H3ONb3O8) synthesized by a facile and inexpensive solvothermal method is proposed as the anode of LIBs. It is a layered two-dimensional material composed of negatively charged two-dimensional lamellae and positively charged interlayer hydronium ions. The former consist of NbO6 octahedral units connected by bridging oxygen. Because of the mutual effect of hydronium ions and niobium oxide quantum dots, niobium oxide hydrate exhibits excellent electrochemical activity when used as an anode material. This compound is first applied to lithium-ion batteries, obtaining a high specific capacity (1232 mAh g-1) at 100 mA g-1 and maintaining an outstanding performance after 200 cycles. Therefore, this work not only proposes a simple preparation method of niobium oxide hydrate but also expands the variety of high-performance anode materials.

Abstract
The absorption of multiple atoms and molecules, including Kr, Xe, CH4, CO2, C2H2, H2O, and SF6, within CC3-R, a Porous Organic Cage (POC), was calculated and analyzed. The CC3-R molecule has one central cavity and four window sites. Most adsorbents were modeled with either one unit in the central cavity, four units in the window sites, or with five units in both sites. For Xe, the most favorable site was the central one. The CO2 molecule binds about 3 kcal mol-1 in free energy more strongly than CH4 in the central cavity of CC3-R at 300 K which may be enough to allow useful discrimination. Four C2H2 units and four CO2 units are calculated to bind similarly inside CC3-R (ΔH(298 K) = -8.6 and -7.7 kcal mol-1 per unit, respectively). Since H2O is smaller, more waters can easily fit inside. For twelve water molecules, the binding enthalpy per water is ΔH(298 K) = -16.4 kcal mol-1. For comparison, the binding enthalpy of (H2O)12 at the same level of theory (B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)-D3BJ//M06-2X/6-31G(d)) is predicted to be -12.3 kcal mol-1 per water. Finally, the dimerization of CC3-R and the association of CC3-R with CC3-S was studied as well as 3 to 9 iodine atoms enclosed in CC3-R.

Abstract
Two intermolecular hydroalkenylation reactions of 1,6-enynes are presented which yield substituted 5-membered carbo- and -heterocycles. This reactivity is enabled by a cationic bis-diphenylphosphinopropane (DPPP)CoI species which forms a cobaltacyclopentene intermediate by oxidative cyclization of the enyne. This key species interacts with alkenes in distinct fashion, depending on the identity of the coupling partner to give regiodivergent products. Simple alkenes undergo insertion reactions to furnish 1,3-dienes whereby one of the alkenes is tetrasubstituted. When acrylates are employed as coupling partners, the site of intermolecular C-C formation shifts from the alkyne to the alkene motif of the enyne, yielding Z-substituted-acrylate derivatives. Computational studies provide support for our experimental observations and show that the turnover-limiting steps in both reactions are the interactions of the alkenes with the cobaltacyclopentene intermediate via either a 1,2-insertion in the case of ethylene, or an unexpected β-C-H activation in the case of most acrylates. Thus, the H syn to the ester is activated through the coordination of the acrylate carbonyl to the cobaltacycle intermediate, which explains the uncommon Z-selectivity and regiodivergence. Variable time normalization analysis (VTNA) of the kinetic data reveals a dependance upon the concentration of cobalt, acrylate, and activator. A KIE of 2.1 was observed with methyl methacrylate in separate flask experiments, indicating that C-H cleavage is the turnover-limiting step in the catalytic cycle. Lastly, a Hammett study of aryl-substituted enynes yields a ρ value of -0.4, indicating that more electron-rich substituents accelerate the rate of the reaction.

Abstract
The nature of bonding in classical adducts and frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) of oxorhenium and nitridorhenium complexes with B(C6F5)3 was investigated computationally (B3PW91-D3). These studies have revealed that the primary noncovalent interaction (NCI) in the FLPs involves lone pair/π interactions between the terminal M≡X bond and the aromatic C6F5 ring in B(C6F5)3. Energy decomposition analyses on classical adducts and FLPs reveal that these species can be defined by the ratio (EOrb/ESteric) of covalent-to-noncovalent contributions to the total interaction energy, EInt. This type of analysis reveals that values for FLPs exist in a narrow range (1.2-2.5), with values for adducts significantly outside this range. The application of this method to other main-group combinations of Lewis acids and bases that have been shown to exhibit FLP reactivity yields similar results. These data suggest that similar NCIs are present in both transition-metal and main-group FLPs, especially where Lewis acids such as B(C6F5)3 are utilized.

Abstract
Luminescent lanthanides possess ideal properties for biological imaging, including long luminescent lifetimes and emission within the optical window. Here, we report a novel approach to responsive luminescent Tb(iii) probes that involves direct modulation of the antenna excited triplet state energy. If the triplet energy lies too close to the 5D4 Tb(iii) excited state (20 500 cm-1), energy transfer to 5D4 competes with back energy transfer processes and limits lanthanide-based emission. To validate this approach, a series of pyridyl-functionalized, macrocyclic lanthanide complexes were designed, and the corresponding lowest energy triplet states were calculated using density functional theory (DFT). Subsequently, three novel constructs L3 (nitro-pyridyl), L4 (amino-pyridyl) and L5 (fluoro-pyridyl) were synthesized. Photophysical characterization of the corresponding Gd(iii) complexes revealed antenna triplet energies between 25 800 and 30 400 cm-1 and a 500-fold increase in quantum yield upon conversion of Tb(L3) to Tb(L4) using the biologically relevant analyte H2S. The corresponding turn-on reaction can be monitored using conventional, small-animal optical imaging equipment in presence of a Cherenkov radiation emitting isotope as an in situ excitation source, demonstrating that antenna triplet state energy modulation represents a viable approach to biocompatible, Tb-based optical turn-on probes.

Abstract
A robust, catalytic enantioselective method to construct challenging, biologically relevant, tertiary ether stereocenters has been developed. The process capitalizes on readily accessible bis(oxazoline) ligands to control the facial selectivity of the addition of copper acetylides to benzopyrylium triflates, reactive species generated in situ. Up to 99% enantiomeric excesses are achieved with a broad substrate scope. Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the origin of the experimentally observed enantiocontrol was attributed to additional non-covalent interactions observed in the transition state leading to the major enantiomer, such as π-stacking. The resultant substrates have direct applications in the synthesis of naturally occurring bioactive chromanones and tetrahydroxanthones.

Abstract
The geometries, electronic structures and bonding of early actinide-noble gas complexes are studied computationally by density functional and wavefunction theory methods, and by ab initio molecular dynamics. AcHe183+ is confirmed as being an 18-coordinate system, with all of the He atoms accommodated in the primary coordination shell, and this record coordination number is reported for the first time for Th4+ and Th3+. For Pa and U in their group valences of 5 and 6 respectively, the largest number of coordinated He atoms is 17. For AnHe17q+ (An = Ac, q = 3; An = Th, q = 4; An = Pa, q = 5; An = U, q = 6), the average An-He binding energy increases significantly across the series, and correlates linearly with the extent of He → Anq+ charge transfer. The interatomic exchange-correlation term Vxc obtained from the interacting quantum atoms approach correlates linearly with the An-He quantum theory of atoms-in-molecules delocalization index, both indicating that covalency increases from AcHe173+ to UHe176+. The correlation energy in AnHe163+ obtained from MP2 calculations decreases in the order Pa > Th > U > Ac, the same trend found in Vxc. The most stable complexes of Ac3+ with the heavier noble gases Ar-Xe are 12 coordinate, best described as Ng12 cages encapsulating an Ac3+ ion. There is enhanced Ng → Ac3+ charge transfer as the Ng gets heavier, and Ac-Ng covalency increases.

Abstract
In this work, a honeycomb-shaped meso@mesoporous carbon nanofiber material incorporating homogeneously dispersed ultra-fine Fe2O3 nanoparticles (denoted as Fe2O3@g-C3N4@H-MMCN) is synthesised through a pyrolysis process. The honeycomb-shaped configuration of the meso@mesoporous carbon nanofiber material derived from a natural bio-carbon source (crab shell) acts as a support for an anode material for Li-ion batteries. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is produced via the one-step pyrolysis of urea at high temperature under an N2 atmosphere without the assistance of additives. The resulting favorable electrochemical performance, with superior rate capabilities (1067 mA h g-1 at 1000 mA g-1), a remarkable specific capacity (1510 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1), and steady cycling performance (782.9 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles at 2000 mA g-1), benefitted from the advantages of both the host material and the Fe2O3 nanoparticles, which play an important role due to their ultra-fine particle size of 5 nm. The excellent cycle life and high capacity demonstrate that this strategy of strong synergistic effects represents a new pathway for pursuing high-electrochemical-performance materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
We investigate dispersion interactions in a selection of atomic, molecular, and molecule-surface systems, comparing high-level correlated methods with empirically corrected density functional theory (DFT). We assess the efficacy of functionals commonly used for surface-based calculations, with and without the D3 correction of Grimme. We find that the inclusion of the correction is essential to get meaningful results, but there is otherwise little to distinguish between the functionals. We also present coupled-cluster quality interaction curves for H2, NO2, H2O, and Ar interacting with large carbon flakes, acting as models for graphene surfaces, using novel absolutely localized molecular orbital based methods. These calculations demonstrate that the problems with empirically corrected DFT when investigating dispersion appear to compound as the system size increases, with important implications for future computational studies of molecule-surface interactions.

Abstract
Binding of noble gases (NGs) is commonly considered to be the realm of highly reactive electophiles with cationic or at least non-charged character. Herein, we summarize our latest results evidencing that the incorporation of a strongly electrophilic site within a rigid cage-like anionic structure offers several advantages that facilitate the binding of noble gases and stabilize the formed NG adducts. The anionic superelectrophiles investigated by us are based on the closo-dodecaborate dianion scaffold. The record holder [B12(CN)11]− binds spontaneously almost all members of the NG family, including the very inert argon at room temperature and neon at 50 K in the gas phase of mass spectrometers. In this perspective, we summarize the argumentation for the advantages of anionic electrophiles in binding of noble gases and explain them in detail using several examples. Then we discuss the next steps necessary to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the binding properties of electrophilic anions with NGs. Finally, we discuss the perspective to prepare bulk ionic materials containing NG derivatives of the anionic superelectophiles. In particular, we explore the role of counterions using computational methods and discuss the methodology, which may be used for the actual preparation of such salts.

Abstract
A pathway for the catalytic hydrosilylation of carbonyl substrates with M(C6F5)3 (M = B, Al and Ga) was calculated by DFT (B3PW91-D3) and it was shown that in the case of the Al reagent, the carbonyl substrate binds irreversibly and inhibits catalysis by generating a stable carbonyl adduct. In contrast, the reduced electrophilicity of B(C6F5)3 disfavors the binding of the carbonyl substrate and increases the concentration of an activated silane adduct which is the species responsible for catalytic turnover. A similar mechanism was found for both cationic and neutral Re(iii) species. Further, it was shown by tuning the electrophilicity of the rhenium catalysts, conditions can be found that would enable the catalytic hydrosilylation of ketone and nitrile substrates that were unreactive in previously reported systems. Thus the mechanisms proposed in this work, lay the foundation for the design of new catalytic systems.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed single bond metathesis has recently emerged as a useful strategy for functional group transfer. In this work, we explored the mechanism and reactivity profile of Pd/PhI-cocatalyzed C-P bond metathesis between aryl phosphines using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The overall single bond metathesis involves two Pd(ii)-catalyzed C-P reductive eliminations and two Pd(0)-catalyzed C-P oxidative additions, which allows the reversible C-P bond cleavage and formation of the phosphonium cation. Distortion/interaction analysis indicates that the facile C-P bond cleavage and formation of the phosphonium cation are due to the involvement of coordinating aryl phosphine in the process. In addition, the substituent effects on the reaction kinetics and thermodynamics of metathesis were computed, which provides helpful mechanistic information for the design of related single bond metathesis reactions.

Abstract
Curcumin is an important molecule with a plethora of pharmacological activities and therapeutic potentials. Despite its efficacy, it remained a potential drug candidate owing to hydrolytic instability and poor aqueous solubility. To overcome the limitations related to low solubility, low bioavailability, and the fact that curcumin is never present in solution as a "single unit", its complex was prepared with MnII with the idea that binding to a metal ion might help to resolve these issues. The complex was characterized by elemental and spectral analysis. The structure of the complex was determined by density functional theory calculations. The complex was stable at physiological buffer conditions, unlike curcumin. It did not have any detrimental effect on mammalian cells. There was a significant enhancement in the antibacterial activity of the complex compared to curcumin against both Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria. It showed a strong affinity for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) evident from a high binding constant value with calf thymus DNA and also from the retarded electrophoretic mobility of bacterial plasmid DNA. The complex showed "superoxide dismutase-like" activity leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The complex caused bacterial membrane perturbation evident from calcein leakage assay, which was further corroborated by scanning and transmission electron microscopic experiments. Overall, the present study shows improved stability and antibacterial potency of a nontoxic complex over curcumin. Its multitargeting mode of action such as ROS-production, effective binding with DNA, and permeabilization of bacterial membrane together allows it to be an effective antibacterial agent that could be taken further for therapeutic use against bacterial infections.

Abstract
Negative ion formation in electron transfer experiments from fast neutral potassium (K) atom collisions with neutral tetrachloromethane (CCl4) molecules has been investigated in the laboratory frame range of 8-1000 eV. Comprehensive calculations on the electronic structure were performed for CCl4 in the presence of a potassium atom and used to help analyze the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals participating in the collision process. Additionally, K+ energy loss produced in the forward direction has served to further our knowledge on the electronic state spectroscopy of CCl4. A vertical electron affinity of -0.79 ± 0.20 eV has been obtained and assigned to a purely repulsive transition from CCl4 ground state to the 2T2 state of the temporary negative ion yielding Cl- formation. Other features in the energy loss spectrum were observed for the first time and related to Cl2-, CCl2-, and CCl3- formation. Special attention is also given to the unresolved feature corresponding to a positive electron affinity of 0.24 ± 0.2 eV, assigned to a vibrationally hot transition from CCl4 ground state into the triply degenerate 2T2 excited state of the negative ion. The combined time-of-flight mass spectrometry together with K+ energy loss data represents the most comprehensive assignment of the tetrachloromethane anion yields and the role of CCl4 electronic states in collision induced dissociation to date.

Abstract
This article deals with the extension of the relativistic double-ionization equation-of-motion coupled-cluster (DI-EOMCC) method [H. Pathak et al. Phys. Rev. A 90, 010501(R) (2014)] for the molecular systems. The Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian with four-component spinors is considered to take care of the relativistic effects. The implemented method is employed to compute a few low-lying doubly ionized states of noble gas atoms (Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn) and Cl2, Br2, HBr, and HI. Additionally, we presented results with two intermediate schemes in the four-component relativistic DI-EOMCC framework to understand the role of electron correlation. The computed double ionization spectra for the atomic systems are compared with the values from the non-relativistic DI-EOMCC method with spin-orbit coupling [Z. Wang et al. J. Chem. Phys. 142, 144109 (2015)] and the values from the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) database. Our atomic results are found to be in good agreement with the NIST values. Furthermore, the obtained results for the molecular systems agree well with the available experimental values.

Electron Transfer Induced Decomposition in Potassium-Nitroimidazoles Collisions: An Experimental and Theoretical Work. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20246170. [PMID: 31817793 PMCID: PMC6940910 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20246170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2019] [Revised: 11/13/2019] [Accepted: 11/28/2019] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Electron transfer induced decomposition mechanism of nitroimidazole and a selection of analogue molecules in collisions with neutral potassium (K) atoms from 10 to 1000 eV have been thoroughly investigated. In this laboratory collision regime, the formation of negative ions was time-of-flight mass analyzed and the fragmentation patterns and branching ratios have been obtained. The most abundant anions have been assigned to the parent molecule and the nitrogen oxide anion (NO2–) and the electron transfer mechanisms are comprehensively discussed. This work focuses on the analysis of all fragment anions produced and it is complementary of our recent work on selective hydrogen loss from the transient negative ions produced in these collisions. Ab initio theoretical calculations were performed for 4-nitroimidazole (4NI), 2-nitroimidazole (2NI), 1-methyl-4- (Me4NI) and 1-methyl-5-nitroimidazole (Me5NI), and imidazole (IMI) in the presence of a potassium atom and provided a strong basis for the assignment of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals accessed in the collision process.

Abstract
We report novel data on ion-pair formation in hyperthermal (30–800 eV) neutral potassium collisions with neutral pyrimidine (Pyr, C4H4N2) molecules. In this collision regime, negative ions formed by electron transfer from the alkali atom to the target molecule were time-of-flight mass analyzed and the fragmentation patterns and branching ratios have been obtained. The most abundant product anions have been assigned to CN− and C2H− and the electron transfer mechanisms are comprehensively discussed. Particular importance is also given to the efficient loss of integrity of the pyrimidine ring in the presence of an extra electron, which is in contrast to dissociative electron attachment experiments yielding the dehydrogenated parent anion. Theoretical calculations were performed for pyrimidine in the presence of a potassium atom and provided a strong basis for the assignment of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals accessed in the collision process. In order to further our knowledge about the collision dynamics, potassium cation (K+) energy loss spectrum has been obtained and within this context, we also discuss the role of the accessible electronic states. A vertical electron affinity of (−5.69 ± 0.20) eV was obtained and may be assigned to a π3*(b1) state that leads to CN− formation.

Abstract
The Raman spectra of the mixed (naphthalocyaninato)[tetrakis(4-[Formula: see text]-butylphenyl)porphyrinato] rare earth double-decker compounds M(Nc)(TBPP) (M = Y, La, Ce, Eu, Dy, Lu) were studied with Density Functional Theory for the first time. The results reveal the fingerprint band for naphthalocyanine to be around 1455–1615 cm[Formula: see text] and porphyrin around 693–749 cm[Formula: see text]. Coupled Nc–Por ring–ring interaction vibration modes are also detected at 1470–1522 cm[Formula: see text], owing to the stretching between the central metal and the N atoms. These vibration modes are recognized as the dominating components in the Raman spectra of those double-decker compounds.
