Abstract
A computational study on the interplay between ligand functionalization and guest effects on the transition temperature (T1/2) in the [Fe2(L1R)3]@X (L1 = 1,3-bis-(3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)benzene, X = H-, F-, Cl-, Br-, I- and [BF4]-, R = H, F, or CH3) family of metal-organic cages (MOCs) is presented. Our results indicate that ligand functionalization with electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups can significantly impact the T1/2 as expected, while the guest effect in lowering the T1/2 has a linear correlation with the increasing guest size. More importantly, small guests can move away from the center of the cavity, thus enhancing the two-step characteristic of the transition. All the data can be understood by analyzing the underlying electronic structure of the studied systems in terms of the relevant d-based molecular orbitals. These results can help in the rational design of new MOCs that can operate as sensors at specific temperatures, thus accelerating the discovery of new SCO devices with tailored properties.

Abstract
The electronic structure and reactivity of tetra-coordinated nonheme iron(IV)-oxo complexes have remained unexplored for years. The recent synthesis of a closed-shell iron(IV)-oxo complex [(quinisox)FeIV(O)]+ (1) has set up a platform to understand how such complexes compare with the celebrated open-shell iron-oxo chemistry. Herein, using density functional theory and ab initio calculations, we present an in-depth electronic structure investigation of the C═C epoxidation [oxygen atom transfer (OAT)] and C-H hydroxylation [hydrogen atom transfer (HAT)] reactivity of 1. Using a solvent-coordinated geometry of 1 (1') and other potential tetra-coordinated iron(IV)-oxo complexes bearing rigid ligands (2 and 3), we established the geometric origin of spin-state energetics and reactivity of 1. Complex 1 featuring a strong Fe-O bond exhibits OAT and HAT reactivity in its quintet state. The lowest quintet OAT pathway has a lower barrier by ∼4 kcal/mol than the quintet HAT pathway, corroborating the experimentally observed gas-phase OAT reactivity preference. A conventional HAT reactivity preference for 2 and a comparable OAT and HAT reactivity for 3 are observed. This further supports the geometry-driven reactivity preference for 1. Noncovalent interaction analyses reveal a pronounced π-π interaction between the substrate and ligand in the OAT transition state, rationalizing the origin of the observed reactivity preference for 1.

Untangling the catalytic importance of the Se oxidation state in organoselenium-mediated oxygen-transfer reactions: the conversion of aniline to nitrobenzene. Chem Sci 2024; 15:12126-12137. [PMID: 39092090 PMCID: PMC11290331 DOI: 10.1039/d4sc03329a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Seleninic acids and their precursors are well-known oxygen-transfer agents that can catalyze several oxidations with H2O2 as the final oxidant. Until very recently, the Se(iv) "peroxyseleninic" acid species has been considered the only plausible catalytic oxidant. Conversely, in 2020, the involvement of Se(vi) "peroxyselenonic" acid has been proposed for the selenium mediated epoxidation of alkenes. In this work, we theoretically probe different mechanisms of H2O2 activation and of Se(iv) to Se(vi) interconversion. In addition, we investigate through a combined theoretical (DFT) and experimental approach the mechanistic steps leading to the oxidation of aniline to nitrobenzene, when Se(iv) seleninic acid or Se(vi) selenonic acids are used as catalysts and H2O2 as the oxidant. This process encompasses three subsequent organoselenium mediated oxidations by H2O2. These results provide a mechanistic explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of both oxidation states (iv and vi) in the different stages of catalytic oxygen-transfer reactions: hydrogen peroxide activation and actual substrate oxidation. While the Se(vi) "peroxyselenonic" acid is found to be a better oxidant, the privileged role of "peroxyseleninic" acid as the main active species is assessed and its origin is identified in the lower catalyst-distortion that seleninic acid undergoes when activating H2O2. Conversely, the higher catalyst-distortion that characterizes the reaction of selenonic acid with H2O2 supports an inactivating role of Se(iv) to Se(vi) interconversion.

Abstract
Copper (Cu2+) is a biologically essential element that participates in numerous physiological processes. However, elevated concentrations of copper have been associated with cellular oxidative stress and neurodegenerative diseases. Organo‑selenium compounds such as diphenyl diselenide (DPDS) have in vitro and in vivo antioxidant properties. Hence, we hypothesized that DPDS may modulate the toxicity of Cu2+ in Drosophila melanogaster. The acute effects (4 days of exposure) caused by a high concentration of Cu2+ (3 mM) were studied using endpoints of toxicity such as survival and behavior in D. melanogaster. The potential protective effect of low concentration of DPDS (20 μM) against Cu2+ was also investigated. Adult flies aged 1-5 days post-eclosion (both sexes) were divided into four groups: Control, DPDS (20 μM), CuSO4 (3 mM), and the combined exposure of DPDS (20 μM) and CuSO4 (3 mM). Survival, biochemical, and behavioral parameters were determined. Co-exposure of DPDS and CuSO4 increased acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS as determined by DFCH oxidation). Contrary to our expectation, the co-exposure reduced survival, body weight, locomotion, catalase activity, and cell viability in relation to control group. Taken together, DPDS potentiated the Cu2+ toxicity.

Abstract
In recent years, noninnocent pyridine diimine (PDI) complexes featuring first-row transition metals have emerged as prominent catalysts, demonstrating efficacy in a diverse range of vital organometallic transformations. However, the inherent complexity of the fundamental reactivity paradigm in these systems arises from the presence of a noninnocent ligand and the multispin feasibility of 3d metals. While density functional theory (DFT) has been widely used to unravel mechanistic insights, its limitations as a single-reference method can potentially misrepresent spin-state energetics, compromising our understanding of these intricate systems. In this study, we employ extensive high-level ab initio state averaged-complete active space self-consistent field/N-electron valence state perturbation theory (SA-CASSCF/NEVPT2) calculations in combination with DFT to investigate an iron-PDI-catalyzed [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of alkenes. The transformation proceeds through two major steps: oxidative cyclization and reductive elimination. Contrary to the predictions of DFT calculations, which suggest two-state reactivity in the reaction and identify reductive elimination as the turnover-limiting step, SA-CASSCF/NEVPT2-corrected results unequivocally establish a single-state reactivity scenario with oxidative cyclization as the turnover-limiting step. SA-CASSCF/NEVPT2-based insights into electronic ground states and electron distribution elucidate the intriguing interactions between the PDI ligand and the iron center, revealing the highly multiconfigurational nature of these species and providing a precise depiction of metal-ligand cooperativity throughout the transformation. A comparative assessment of several widely recognized DFT functionals against SA-CASSCF/NEVPT2-corrected data indicates that single-point energy calculations using the modern density functional MN15 on TPSSh geometries offer the most reliable density functional methodology, in scenarios where SA-CASSCF/NEVPT2 computational cost is a consideration.

Abstract
Cobalt dioxolenes are a well-known class of switchable coordination compounds showing intramolecular electron transfer, which is always accompanied by a spin state change at the cobalt center. Here, we present the first example of thermally switchable cobalt bis-dioxolenes where intramolecular electron transfer seems to take place, but the spin state change is suppressed. This leads to the detection of thermal transition between a common ls-CoIII(SQ˙-)(Cat2-) and an extremely rare ls-CoII(SQ˙-)2 electronic state (hs - high-spin, ls - low-spin, SQ˙- - benzosemiquinonate(1-) radical and Cat2- - catecholate(2-)). Parallel to the present work, a similar work but on cobalt mono-dioxolenes has just appeared (Chem. Eur. J., 2023, 29, e202300091), suggesting thermal transition between ls-CoIII(Cat2-) and ls-CoII(SQ˙-) electronic states.

Abstract
A series of macrocyclic ligands were considered for the chelation of Pb2+: 1,4,7,10-tetrakis[2-(methylsulfanyl)ethyl]-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (DO4S), 1,4,7-tris[2-(methylsulfanyl)ethyl]-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (DO3S), 1,4,7-tris[2-(methylsulfanyl)ethyl]-10-acetamido-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (DO3SAm), 1,7-bis[2-(methylsulfanyl)ethyl]-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-4,10-diacetic acid (DO2A2S), 1,5,9-tris[2-(methylsulfanyl)ethyl]-1,5,9-triazacyclododecane (TACD3S), 1,4,7,10-tetrakis[2-(methylsulfanyl)ethyl]-1,4,7,10-tetrazacyclotridecane (TRI4S), and 1,4,8,11-tetrakis[2-(methylsulfanyl)ethyl]-1,4,8,11-tetrazacyclotetradecane (TE4S). The equilibrium, the acid-mediated dissociation kinetics, and the structural properties of the Pb2+ complexes formed by these chelators were examined by UV-Visible and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies, combined with potentiometry and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The obtained results indicated that DO4S, DO3S, DO3SAm, and DO2A2S were able to efficiently chelate Pb2+ and that the most suitable macrocyclic scaffold for Pb2+ is 1,4,7,10-tetrazacyclododecane. NMR spectroscopy gave insights into the solution structures of the Pb2+ complexes, and 1H-207Pb interactions confirmed the involvement of S and/or O donors in the metal coordination sphere. Highly fluxional solution behavior was discovered when Pb2+ was coordinated to symmetric ligands (i.e., DO4S and DO2A2S) while the introduction of structural asymmetry in DO3S and DO3SAm slowed down the intramolecular dynamics. The ligand ability to chelate [203Pb]Pb2+ under highly dilute reaction conditions was explored through radiolabeling experiments. While DO4S and DO3S possessed modest performance, DO3SAm and DO2A2S demonstrated high complexation efficiency under mild reaction conditions (pH = 7, 5 min reaction time). The [203Pb]Pb2+ complexes' integrity in human serum over 24 h was appreciably good for [203Pb][Pb(DO4S)]2+ (80 ± 5%) and excellent for [203Pb][Pb(DO3SAm)]2+ (93 ± 1%) and [203Pb][Pb(DO2A2S)] (94 ± 1%). These results reveal the promise of DO2A2S and DO3SAm as chelators in cutting-edge theranostic [203/212Pb]Pb2+ radiopharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Silver-111 is an attractive unconventional candidate for targeted cancer therapy as well as for single photon emission computed tomography and can be complemented by silver-103 for positron emission tomography noninvasive diagnostic procedures. However, the shortage of chelating agents capable of forming stable complexes tethered to tumor-seeking vectors has hindered their in vivo application so far. In this study, a comparative investigation of a series of sulfur-containing structural homologues, namely, 1,4,7-tris[2-(methylsulfanyl)ethyl)]-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (NO3S), 1,5,9-tris[2-(methylsulfanyl)ethyl]-1,5,9-triazacyclododecane (TACD3S), 1,4,7,10-tetrakis[2-(methylsulfanyl)ethyl]-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclotridecane (TRI4S), and 1,4,8,11-tetrakis[2-(methylsulfanyl)ethyl]-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (TE4S) was conducted to appraise the influence of different polyazamacrocyclic backbones on Ag+ complexation. The performances of these macrocycles were also compared with those of the previously reported Ag+/[111Ag]Ag+-chelator 1,4,7,10-tetrakis[2-(methylsulfanyl)ethyl]-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (DO4S). Nuclear magnetic resonance data supported by density functional theory calculations and X-ray crystallographic results gave insights into the coordination environment of these complexes, suggesting that all of the donor atoms are generally involved in the metal coordination. However, the modifications of the macrocycle topology alter the dynamic binding of the pendant arms or the conformation of the ring around the metal center. Combined pH/pAg-potentiometric and spectroscopic experiments revealed that the 12-member N4 backbone of DO4S forms the most stable Ag+ complex while both the enlargement and the shrinkage of the macrocyclic frame dwindle the stability of the complexes. Radiolabeling experiments, conducted with reactor-produced [111Ag]Ag+, evidenced that the thermodynamic stability trend is reflected in the ligand's ability to incorporate the radioactive ion at high molar activity, even in the presence of a competing cation (Pd2+), as well as in the integrity of the corresponding complexes in human serum. As a consequence, DO4S proved to be the most favorable candidate for future in vivo applications.

Abstract
The midpoint potential of the [Fe2S2]-Cys4-cluster in proteins is known to vary between -200 and -450 mV. This variation is caused by the different electrostatic environment of the cluster in the respective proteins. Continuum electrostatics can quantify the impact of the protein environment on the redox potential. Thus, if the redox potential of a [Fe2S2]-Cys4-cluster model compound in aqueous solution would be known, then redox potentials in various protein complexes could be calculated. However, [Fe2S2]-Cys4-cluster models are not water-soluble, and thus, their redox potential can not be measured in aqueous solution. To overcome this problem, we introduce a method that we call Virtual Model Compound Approach (VMCA) to extrapolate the model redox potential from known redox potentials of proteins. We carefully selected high-resolution structures for our analysis and divide them into a fit set, for fitting the model redox potential, and an independent test set, to check the validity of the model redox potential. However, from our analysis, we realized that the some structures can not be used as downloaded from the PDB but had to be re-refined in order to calculate reliable redox potentials. Because of the re-refinement, we were able to significantly reduce the standard deviation of our derived model redox potential for the [Fe2S2]-Cys4-cluster from 31 mV to 10 mV. As the model redox potential, we obtained -184 mV. This model redox potential can be used to analyze the redox behavior of [Fe2S2]-Cys4-clusters in larger protein complexes.

Abstract
Species generally exhibit one-state aromaticity either in the lowest singlet state (S0 ) or the lowest triplet state (T1 ) according to the Hückel's and Baird's rules. Hence, it is rare for species exhibit two-state aromaticity in both the S0 and T1 states (termed as adaptive aromaticity), let alone adaptive σ aromaticity. Here, we report adaptive σ aromaticity in unsaturated rhenacyclopropene rings via density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Various aromaticity indices including NICS, ACID, EDDB together with isodesmic reactions support the adaptive σ aromaticity in these rhenacyclopropene rings. As the T1 state of these species is formed by the ππ* excitation, the σ-aromaticity of these three-membered rings in the S0 state could hold in the T1 state. In addition, the aromaticity effect of the fused rings is also examined. Our findings expand the family of adaptive σ aromaticity, enriching the metallaaromatic chemistry.

Abstract
Spin crossover (SCO) complexes can reversibly switch between low spin (LS) and high spin (HS) states, affording possible applications in sensing, displays, and molecular electronics. Dinuclear SCO complexes with access to [LS-LS], [LS-HS], and [HS-HS] states may offer increased levels of functionality. The nature of the SCO interconversion in dinuclear complexes is influenced by the local electronic environment. We report the synthesis and characterization of [{FeIII(tpa)}2spiro](PF6)2 (1), [{FeIII(tpa)}2Br4spiro](PF6)2 (2), and [{FeIII(tpa)}2thea](PF6)2 (3) (tpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, spiroH4 = 3,3,3',3'-tetramethyl-1,1'-spirobi(indan)-5,5',6,6'-tetraol, Br4spiroH4 = 3,3,3',3'-tetramethyl-1,1'-spirobi(indan)-4,4',7,7'-tetrabromo-5,5',6,6'-tetraol, theaH4 = 2,3,6,7-tetrahydroxy-9,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene), utilizing non-conjugated bis(catecholate) bridging ligands. In the solid state, magnetic and structural analysis shows that 1 remains in the [HS-HS] state, while 2 and 3 undergo a partial SCO interconversion upon cooling from room temperature involving the mixed [LS-HS] state. In solution, all complexes undergo SCO from [HS-HS] at room temperature, via [LS-HS] to mixtures including [LS-LS] at 77 K, with the extent of SCO increasing in the order 1 < 2 < 3. Gas phase density functional theory calculations suggest a [LS-LS] ground state for all complexes, with the [LS-HS] and [HS-HS] states successively destabilized. The relative energy separations indicate that ligand field strength increases following spiro4- < Br4spiro4- < thea4-, consistent with solid-state magnetic and EPR behavior. All three complexes show stabilization of the [LS-HS] state in relation to the midpoint energy between [LS-LS] and [HS-HS]. The relative stability of the [LS-HS] state increases with increasing ligand field strength of the bis(catecholate) bridging ligand in the order 1 < 2 < 3. The bromo substituents of Br4spiro4- increase the ligand field strength relative to spiro4-, while the stronger ligand field provided by thea4- arises from extension of the overlapping π-orbital system across the two catecholate units. This study highlights how SCO behavior in dinuclear complexes can be modulated by the bridging ligand, providing useful insights for the design of molecules that can be interconverted between more than two states.

Abstract
Organic radicals are widely used as linkers or ligands to synthesize molecular magnetic materials. However, studies regarding the molecular anisotropies of radical-based magnetic materials and their multifunctionalities are rare. Herein, a photoisomerizable diarylethene ligand was used to form {[CoIII(3,5-DTSQ·-)(3,5-DTCat2-)]2(6F-DAE-py2)}·3CH3CN·H2O (o-1·3CH3CN·H2O, 6F-DAE-py2 = 1,2-bis(2-methyl-5-(4-pyridyl)-3-thienyl)perfluorocyclopentene), a valence-tautomeric (VT) coordination polymer. We directly observed dual radicals for a single crystal using high-field/-frequency (∼13.3 T and ∼360 GHz) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy along the c-axis, which was further confirmed by angle-dependent Q-band EPR spectroscopy. Moreover, a conductive anomaly close to the VT transition temperature was observed only when probes were attached at the ab plane of the single crystal, indicative of synergy between valence tautomerism and conductivity. Structural anisotropy studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that this synergy is due to electron transfer associated with valence tautomerism. This study presents the first example of dual-radical-based molecular anisotropy and charge-transfer-induced conductive anisotropy in a photoswitchable coordination polymer.

Abstract
Using density functional theory (DFT) B3PW91/TZVP, M06/TZVP, and OPBE/TZVP chemistry models and the Gaussian09 program, a quantum-chemical calculation of geometric and thermodynamic parameters of Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) macrotetracyclic chelates, with (NNNN)-coordination of ligand donor centers arising during template synthesis between the indicated ions of 3d elements, thiocarbohydrazide H2N-HN-C(=S)-NH-NH2 and diacetyl Me-C(=O)-C(=O)-Me, in gelatin-immobilized matrix implants was performed. The key bond lengths and bond angles in these coordination compounds are provided, and it is noted that in all these complexes the MN4 chelate sites, the grouping of N4 atoms bonded to the M atom, and the five-membered and six-membered metal chelate rings are practically coplanar. NBO analysis of these compounds was carried out, on the basis of which it was shown that all these complexes, in full accordance with theoretical expectations, are low-spin complexes. The standard thermodynamic characteristics of the template reactions for the formation of the above complexes are also presented. Good agreement between the data obtained using the above DFT levels is noted.

Abstract
By using quantum chemical calculation data obtained by the DFT method with the B3PW91/TZVP and OPBE/TZVP levels, the possibility of the existence of three Fe(V) complexes, each of which contains in the inner coordination sphere porphyrazine/trans-di[benzo]porphyrazine/tetra[benzo]porphyrazine (phthalocyanine), oxygen (O2-) and fluorine (F-) ions, was shown. Key geometric parameters of the molecular structure of these heteroligand complexes are given; it is noted that FeN4 chelate nodes, and all metal-chelate and non-chelate cycles in each of these compounds, are practically planar with the deviation from coplanarity, as a rule, by no more than 0.5°. Furthermore, the bond angles between two nitrogen atoms and an Fe atom are equal to 90°, or less than this by no more than 0.1°, while the bond angles between donor atoms N, Fe, and O or F, in most cases, albeit insignificantly, differ from this value. Nevertheless, the bond angles formed by Fe, O and F atoms are exactly 180°. It is shown that good agreement occurs between the structural data obtained using the above two versions of the DFT method. NBO analysis data for these complexes are presented; it is noted that, according to both DFT methods used, the ground state of the each of three complexes under consideration may be a spin quartet or spin doublet. Additionally, standard thermodynamic parameters of formation (standard enthalpy ∆fH0, entropy S0 and Gibbs's energy ∆fG0) for the macrocyclic compounds under consideration are calculated.

Abstract
By using the data of the DFT quantum chemical calculation in the OPBE/TZVP and B3PW91/TZVP levels, the possibility of the existence of a manganese(VI) heteroligand complex containing porphyrazine or its tetra[benzo] derivative (phthalocyanine) and two oxygen (O2-) ligands, which is still unknown for this element, is shown. The parameters of the molecular structure, multiplicity of the ground state, NBO analysis data and standard thermodynamic parameters (enthalpy ΔH0f, entropy S0f and Gibbs's energy ΔG0f of formation) of each of these metal macrocyclic compounds are presented. Additionally, it is noted that, based on the totality of structural data obtained by the above versions of the DFT method, the existence of a similar complex of manganese with di[benzo] derivative of porhyrazine and two oxygen (O2-) ligands seems doubtful.

Abstract
A series of {V12}-nuclearity polyoxovanadate cages covalently functionalized with one or sandwiched by two phthalocyaninato (Pc) lanthanide (Ln) moieties via V-O-Ln bonds were prepared and fully characterized for paramagnetic Ln = SmIII-ErIII and diamagnetic Ln = LuIII, including YIII. The LnPc-functionalized {V12O32} cages with fully oxidized vanadium centers in the ground state were isolated as (nBu4N)3[HV12O32Cl(LnPc)] and (nBu4N)2[HV12O32Cl(LnPc)2] compounds. As corroborated by a combined experimental (EPR, DC and AC SQUID, laser photolysis transient absorption spectroscopy, and electrochemistry) and computational (DFT, MD, and model Hamiltonian approach) methods, the compounds feature intra- and intermolecular electron transfer that is responsible for a partial reduction at V(3d) centers from VV to VIV in the solid state and at high sample concentrations. The effects are generally Ln dependent and are clearly demonstrated for the (nBu4N)3[HV12O32Cl(LnPc)] representative with Ln = LuIII or DyIII. Intramolecular charge transfer takes place for Ln = LuIII and occurs from a Pc ligand via the Ln center to the {V12O32} core of the same molecule, whereas for Ln = DyIII, only intermolecular charge transfer is allowed, which is realized from Pc in one molecule to the {V12O32} core of another molecule usually via the nBu4N+ countercation. For all Ln but DyIII, two of these phenomena may be present in different proportions. Besides, it is demonstrated that (nBu4N)3[HV12O32Cl(DyPc)] is a field-induced single molecule magnet with a maximal relaxation time of the order 10-3 s. The obtained results open up the way to further exploration and fine-tuning of these three modular molecular nanocomposites regarding tailoring and control of their Ln-dependent charge-separated states (induced by intramolecular transfer) and relaxation dynamics as well as of electron hopping between molecules. This should enable us to realize ultra-sensitive polyoxometalate powered quasi-superconductors, sensors, and data storage/processing materials for quantum technologies and neuromorphic computing.

Abstract
The CASPT2+δMRCI composite approach reported in a companion paper has been extended and used to provide high-quality reference data for a series of adiabatic spin gaps (defined as ΔE = Equintet - Esinglet) of [FeIIL6]2+ complexes (L = CNH, CO, NCH, NH3, H2O), either at nonrelativistic level or including scalar relativistic effects. These highly accurate data have been used to evaluate the performance of various more approximate methods. Coupled-cluster theory with singles, doubles, and perturbative triples, CCSD(T), is found to agree well with the new reference data for Werner-type complexes but exhibits larger underestimates by up to 70 kJ/mol for the π-acceptor ligands, due to appreciable static correlation in the low-spin states of these systems. Widely used domain-based local CCSD(T) calculations, DLPNO-CCSD(T), are shown to depend very sensitively on the cutoff values used to construct the localized domains, and standard values are not sufficient. A large number of density functional approximations have been evaluated against the new reference data. The B2PLYP double hybrid gives the smallest deviations, but several functionals from different rungs of the usual ladder hierarchy give mean absolute deviations below 20 kJ/mol. This includes the B97-D semilocal functional, the PBE0* global hybrid with 15% exact-exchange admixture, as well as the local hybrids LH07s-SVWN and LH07t-SVWN. Several further functionals achieve mean absolute errors below 30 kJ/mol (M06L-D4, SSB-D, B97-1-D4, LC-ωPBE-D4, LH12ct-SsirPW92-D4, LH12ct-SsifPW92-D4, LH14t-calPBE-D4, LHJ-HFcal-D4, and several further double hybrids) and thereby also still overall outperform CCSD(T) or uncorrected CASPT2. While exact-exchange admixture is a crucial factor in favoring high-spin states, the present evaluations confirm that other aspects can be important as well. A number of the better-performing functionals underestimate the spin gaps for the π-acceptor ligands but overestimate them for L = NH3, H2O. In contrast to a previous suggestion, non-self-consistent density functional theory (DFT) computations on top of Hartree-Fock orbitals are not a promising path to produce accurate spin gaps in such complexes.

Abstract
Using three different versions of the density functional theory (DFT) – B3PW91/TZVP, M06/TZVP and OPBE/TZVP chemical models, the calculation of the molecular structures of (6666) macrocyclic complexes of 3d-elements (M) with a novel (NNNN)-donor macrocyclic ligand, 2,3,5,7,8,10,12,13,15,17,18,20-dodecaazaporphin (H2L), was carried out. The values of the most important bond lengths, bond and non-bond angles in these metal complexes were presented. The standard enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy of formation of these compounds were also calculated. It was noted that according to the data of the above chemical models, [MnL], [FeL], [CoL], [NiL], and [CuL] complexes with this novel ligand have a flat MN4 chelate node and a planar structure as a whole, while the [TiL], [VL], [CrL] and [ZnL] complexes have a non-coplanar MN4 chelate node. Moreover, all 6-membered rings in each of these metal chelates are identical to each other (both in terms of the sum of the bond angles included in them and in their assortment); adjoining 5-membered cycles for the majority of M are also identical to each other (non-identity is noted only in the cases M = Ti, Mn, as well as for the original 2,3,5,7,8,10,12,13,15,17,18,20-dodecaazaporphin). A good agreement was also noted between similar parameters calculated by various DFT methods, both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Abstract
![]()
The selenoxide elimination is a well-known reaction in
organochalcogen
chemistry, with wide synthetic, biological, and toxicological implications.
In this work, we apply benchmarked density functional theory (DFT)
calculations to investigate different aspects of the title reaction
in three (bio)chemically relevant models, spanning minimal systems
of theoretical interests as well as biological or synthetic organochalcogenides.
The activation strain analysis (ASA) methodology is employed along
a suitable reaction coordinate to obtain insight into the role of
the chalcogen and of the oxidation state, to pinpoint the factors
that tune the elimination reactivity of the investigated systems.
Lastly, we computationally validate the hypothesis that telluroxides
eliminate more slowly than selenoxides because of a detrimental hydration
process that leads to unreactive hydrates.

Abstract
The Tc-99m nucleus is the most used nuclide in radiopharmaceuticals designed for imaging diagnosis. The metal can exist in nine distinct oxidation states and forms distinct coordination complexes with a variety of chelating agents and geometries. These complexes are usually characterized through Tc-99 NMR that is very sensitive to the Tc coordination sphere. Therefore, predicting Tc-99 NMR might be useful to assist experimentalists in structural characterization. In the present study, we propose three computational protocols for predicting Tc-99 NMR chemical shifts based on density functional theory calculations using relativistic and nonrelativistic Hamiltonians: the relativistic Model 1, the nonrelativistic Model 2, and the empirical nonrelativistic Model 3. In Models 2 and 3, the NMR-DKH basis set was used for all atoms, including the Tc, for which it was developed here. All models were applied for a set of 41 Tc-complexes with metal oxidation states 0, I, and V, for which the Tc-99 chemical shift was available experimentally. The mean absolute deviation and the mean relative deviation were 67 ppm and 4.8% (Model 1), 92 ppm and 6.2% (Model 2), and 65 ppm and 4.9% (Model 3), respectively. Last, the effect of the explicit solvent was evaluated for the [TcO2(en)2]+─Tc(V) complex. The calculated results for the Tc-99 NMR chemical shift at SO-ZORA-SSB-D/TZ2P-ZORA/COSMO//TPSS/def2-SVP/IEF-PCM(UFF) show that the inclusion of 14 water molecules (first solvation shell) together with the implicit solvation model leads to an absolute deviation of only 7 ppm (0.3%) from the experimental value, indicating that the solvent effects play a key role in predicting Tc-99 NMR.

Abstract
Hierarchical, convergent ab initio benchmark computations were performed followed by a systematic analysis of DFT performance for five pericyclic reactions comprising Diels-Alder, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, electrocyclic rearrangement, sigmatropic rearrangement, and double group transfer prototypes. Focal point analyses (FPA) extrapolating to the ab initio limit were executed via explicit quantum chemical computations with electron correlation treatments through CCSDT(Q) and correlation-consistent Gaussian basis sets up to aug'-cc-pV5Z. Optimized geometric structures and vibrational frequencies of all stationary points were obtained at the CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ level of theory. The FPA reaction barriers and energies exhibit convergence to within a few tenths of a kcal mol-1. The FPA benchmarks were used to evaluate the performance of 60 density functionals (eight dispersion-corrected), covering the local-density approximation (LDA), generalized gradient approximations (GGAs), meta-GGAs, hybrids, meta-hybrids, double-hybrids, and range-separated hybrids. The meta-hybrid M06-2X functional provided the best overall performance [mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.1 kcal mol-1] followed closely by the double-hybrids B2K-PLYP, mPW2K-PLYP, and revDSD-PBEP86 [MAE of 1.4-1.5 kcal mol-1]. The regularly used GGA functional BP86 gave a higher MAE of 5.8 kcal mol-1, but it qualitatively described the trends in reaction barriers and energies. Importantly, we established that accurate yet efficient meta-hybrid or double-hybrid DFT potential energy surfaces can be acquired based on geometries from the computationally efficient and robust BP86/DZP level.

Abstract
We have discovered the first polythioplatinate(II), [PtII3S2(SO3)6]10- (1), which was synthesized in aqueous basic medium (pH 11) by hydrothermal heating at 150 °C. Polyanion 1 comprises a discrete, triangular assembly of three Pt2+ ions linked by two μ3-sulfido ligands, and their square-planar coordination geometry is completed by two terminal S-bound sulfito ligands. Polyanion 1 was isolated as a hydrated sodium salt, Na10[PtII3(μ3-S)2(SO3)6]·22H2O (Na-1), which was characterized in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectra, and elemental analysis, in solution by 195Pt NMR and atomic absorption spectroscopy, and in the gas phase by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Density functional theory calculations were performed, and the 195Pt NMR chemical shifts of 1 were computed theoretically and shown to match well with the experimental data. Furthermore, the discrete title polyanion 1 was immobilized on mesoporous SBA-15 support and used as a precatalyst for the hydrogenation of o-xylene.

Abstract
The formation of Co(III)-thiolate complexes from Co(II)-disulfide complexes using the anionic ligand 8-quinolinolate (quin-) has been studied experimentally and quantum chemically. Two Co(II)-disulfide complexes [Co2(LxSSLx)(Cl)4] (x = 1 or 2; L1SSL1 = 2,2'-disulfanediylbis(N,N-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)ethan-1-amine; L2SSL2 = 2,2'-disulfanedylbis (N-((6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) ethan-1-amine) have been successfully converted with high yield to their corresponding Co(III)-thiolate complexes upon addition of the ligand 8-quinolinolate. Using density functional theory (DFT) computations the d-orbital splitting energies of the cobalt-thiolate compounds [Co(L1S)(quin)]+ and [Co(L2S)(quin)]+ were estimated to be 3.10 eV and 3.07 eV, indicating a slightly smaller ligand-field strength of ligand L2SSL2 than of L1SSL1. Furthermore, the orientation of the quin- ligand in the thiolate compounds determines the stability of the thiolate complex. DFT computations show that the thiolate structure benefits from more electrostatic attraction when the oxygen atom of the quin- ligand is positioned trans to the sulfur atom of the [Co(L1S)]2+ fragment. Quin- is the first auxiliary ligand with which it appeared possible to induce the redox-conversion reaction in cobalt(II) compounds of the relatively weak-field ligand L2SSL2.

Abstract
Using various versions of density functional theory (DFT), DFT M06/TZVP, DFT B3PW91/TZVP, DFT OPBE/TZVP, and, partially, the MP2 method, the possibility of the existence of 3d-element (M) compounds with nitrogen having unusual M: nitrogen ratio 1:12, unknown for these elements at the present, was shown. Structural parameter data were presented. It was shown that all MN4 groupings have tetragonal-pyramidal structure. It was noted that the bond lengths formed by nitrogen atoms and an M atom were equal to each other only in the case of M = Ti, V, Cr and Co, whereas for other Ms, they were slightly different; moreover, the bond angles formed by nitrogen atoms and an M atom were equal to 90.0°, or practically did not differ from this value. Thermodynamic parameters, NBO analysis data and HOMO/LUMO images for this compound were also presented. Good agreement between the calculated data obtained using the above three quantum chemical methods was also noted.

Abstract
The redox-conversion reaction of cobalt(II)-disulfide to cobalt(III)-thiolate complexes triggered by addition of the bidentate ligand 2,2'-bipyridine has been investigated. Reaction of the cobalt(II)-disulfide complex [Co2(L1SSL1)(X)4] (L1SSL1 = di-2-(bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amino)-ethyldisulfide; X = Cl or Br) [1X] with 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) resulted in the formation of two different products, namely the cobalt(III)-thiolate complex [Co(L1S)(bpy)]X2 and the unexpected side product [Co2(L1SSL1)(bpy)2(X)2]X2. Crystals of [Co2(L1SSL1)(bpy)2(Cl)2](BPh4)2 [2Cl](BPh4)2 obtained after anion exchange showed the cobalt(II) ions to be in octahedral geometries with the nitrogen donors of the disulfide ligand arranged in a facial conformation and the chloride ion trans to the tertiary amine nitrogen. Remarkably, this side product cannot be converted to the cobalt(III)-thiolate compound [Co(L1S)(bpy)](SbF6)2 [3](SbF6)2 by removal of the chloride ion with use of a silver salt, as this causes scrambling of the ligands, resulting in the formation of [Co(bpy)3]n+. [Co(L1S)(bpy)](SbF6)2 was obtained in a pure form by addition of bpy to a solution in acetonitrile of the compound [Co(L1S)(MeCN)2]2+ [4]2+. Addition of NEt4Cl to [3](SbF6)2 regenerates the cobalt(II)-disulfide complex [1Cl] as confirmed spectroscopically. DFT studies revealed that the conversion from [1Cl] to [3]2+ most likely occurs via the hypothetical intermediate species [2Cl]2+mer, in which the nitrogen atoms of the disulfide ligand are arranged in a meridional conformation. Interestingly, the estimated d-orbital splitting energy of [3]2+ is lower than that of [4]2+, indicating that the ligand-field strength of bpy is lower than anticipated, which hampers clean conversion in the redox-conversion reaction. This study shows that the redox-conversion reaction between cobalt(II)-disulfide and cobalt(III)-thiolate complexes is intricate rather than straightforward.

Abstract
The rise of innovation in the electrical industry is driven by the controlled design of new materials. The hybrid materials based on magnetite/nanocellulose are highly interesting due to their various applications in medicine, ecology, catalysis and electronics. In this study, the structure and morphology of nanocellulose/magnetite hybrid nanomaterials were investigated. The effect of nanocellulose loading on the crystal structure of synthesized composites was investigated by XRD and FTIR methods. The presented study reveals that the interaction between the cellulose and magnetic nanoparticles depends on the nanocellulose content. Further, a transition from cellulose II to cellulose I allomorph is observed. SEM and EDS are employed to determine the variation in morphology with changes in component concentrations. By the calculation of magnetic interactions between adjacent Fe3+ and Fe2+ ions within composites, it is determined that ferromagnetic coupling predominates.

Abstract
The effect of distal histidine on ligation of NO to ferrous and ferric-heme, has been investigated with the high-level density functional theoretical (DFT) method. It has been predicted that the distal histidine significantly stabilizes the interaction of NO ferrous-heme (by −2.70 kcal mol−1). Also, water hydrogen bonding is quite effective in strengthening the Fe–NO bond in ferrous heme. In contrast in ferric heme, due to the large distance between the H2O and O(NO) and lack of hydrogen bonding, the distal histidine exhibits only a slight effect on the binding of NO to the ferric analogue. Concerning the bond nature of FeII–NO and FeIII–NO in heme, a QTAIM analysis predicts a partially covalent and ionic bond nature in both systems. The effect of distal histidine on ligation of NO to ferrous and ferric-heme, has been investigated with the high-level density functional theoretical (DFT) method.![]()

Abstract
By using quantum chemical calculation data obtained by the DFT method with the OPBE/TZVP and B3PW91/TZVP levels, the principal possibility of the existence of three heteroligand complexes of nickel, each of which was shown to contain in the inner coordination sphere either porphyrazine or di[benzo]- and tetra[benzo]porphyrazine, oxygen (O[Formula: see text] and fluorine (F[Formula: see text] ions. The data on the geometric parameters of the molecular structure of these complexes are presented; which shows that NiN4 chelate nodes, all metal-chelate and non-chelate cycles in each of these complexes, are strictly planar. The bond angles between two donor nitrogen atoms and a nickel atom are equal to 90[Formula: see text], while the bond angles between donor atoms N, Ni, and O or F, in most cases, albeit insignificantly, differ from this value. Nevertheless, the bond angles formed by Ni, O and F atoms are exactly 180[Formula: see text]. NBO analysis data for these complexes are presented; it was noted that the ground state of all these complexes was a spin doublet. It has been shown that a good agreement between the data obtained using the above two versions of the DFT method occurs. Also, standard thermodynamic parameters of formation (standard enthalpy [Formula: see text], entropy [Formula: see text] and Gibbs’s energy [Formula: see text] for the macrocyclic compounds under consideration were calculated.

Abstract
The structurally unique saddle-shaped paramagnetic tetrametallic clusters of Co(I) and Ni(I) with phosphoranimide ligands have been synthesized and proposed as catalyst precursors. The analogous Cu(I) nanocluster is planar and diamagnetic. These notable variations in geometry and ground electronic states indicate that the effect of metal and ligand substituents on the structure and electronic properties of these complexes requires investigation. We present a computational study of a series of these novel homoleptic complexes containing Co(I), Ni(I), and Cu(I) as well as Fe(I) coordinated to phosphoranimides with electron-donating and withdrawing substituents, conducted at the relativistic density functional theory level using ZORA-PBE/TZP. The optimized structures of the saddle-shaped Co(I) and Ni(I) and planar Cu(I) tetramers with linear N-M-N coordination are validated with respect to X-ray diffraction determinations. The ground-state analysis indicates that Cu(I) complexes are diamagnetic, whereas Ni(I) and Co(I) complexes are in high-spin states, in agreement with magnetic susceptibility measurements. The computational results show that Fe(I) complexes are saddle shaped and high spin. The Co(I) complex is stabilized by a metal macrocycle distortion from square to diamond, as elucidated from its Walsh diagram. The effects of metals and ligand substituents on the ground electronic state, metal center coordination environment, and energy of the complexes are investigated. The bulky tertiary butyl substituent causes the largest saddle-shape distortion of the tetramer marcocycle, which partially offsets its electron-donating effect. Macrocycle distortions with N-M-N site angles ranging from obtuse to alternating obtuse reflex are correlated with the increasing number of unpaired electrons. The phenyl-substituted complexes are expected to have the highest reactivity toward electrophiles. Understanding the interplay between structural and electronic parameters is intended to guide the development of synthetic cooperative systems for multielectron redox reactions, models of biological systems, and molecular magnets.

Abstract
Enzyme-based iron-sulfur clusters, exemplified in families such as hydrogenases, nitrogenases, and radical S-adenosylmethionine enzymes, feature in many essential biological processes. The functionality of biological iron-sulfur clusters extends beyond simple electron transfer, relying primarily on the redox activity of the clusters, with a remarkable diversity for different enzymes. The active-site structure and the electrostatic environment in which the cluster resides direct this redox reactivity. Oriented electric fields in enzymatic active sites can be significantly strong, and understanding the extent of their effect on iron-sulfur cluster reactivity can inform first steps toward rationally engineering their reactivity. An extensive systematic density functional theory-based screening approach using OPBE/TZP has afforded a simple electric field-effect representation. The results demonstrate that the orientation of an external electric field of strength 28.8 MV cm-1 at the center of the cluster can have a significant effect on its relative stability in the order of 35 kJ mol-1. This shows clear implications for the reactivity of iron-sulfur clusters in enzymes. The results also demonstrate that the orientation of the electric field can alter the most stable broken-symmetry state, which further has implications on the directionality of initiated electron-transfer reactions. These insights open the path for manipulating the enzymatic redox reactivity of iron-sulfur cluster-containing enzymes by rationally engineering oriented electric fields within the enzymes.

Quantum-chemical calculation of most important parameters of molecular and electronic structures of tetra-nuclear (pd) metal clusters having Al2M2 composition, where M = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, or Zn (bond lengths, bond and torsion angles), and HOMO and LUMO of these compounds by means of DFT OPBE/QZVP method, have been carried out. It has been found that, for each of these metal clusters, an existence of rather large amount of structural isomers different substantially in their total energy, occurs. It has been noticed that molecular structures of metal clusters of the given type differ significantly between them in terms of geometric parameters, as well as in geometric form, wherein the most stable modifications of metal clusters considered are similar between themselves in geometric form. In addition, the standard thermodynamic parameters of formation of metal clusters considered here, and namely standard enthalpy ΔfH0(298 K), entropy Sf0(298 K), and Gibbs’ energy ΔfG0(298 K) of formation for these metal clusters, were calculated.

Abstract
Based on the results of a quantum chemical calculation using the DFT method in the OPBE/TZVP and B3PW91/TZVP, the possibility of the existence of a copper heteroligand complex with trans-di[benzo]derivative of 3,7,11,15-tetraazaporphine (trans-di[benzo]porphyrazine) and two oxygen (O[Formula: see text] ions that is still unknown for this element was shown. In addition, the data on the structural parameters, the multiplicity of the ground state, NBO analysis and standard thermodynamic parameters of formation (standard enthalpy [Formula: see text], entropy [Formula: see text] and Gibbs’s energy [Formula: see text] for this complex are presented.

Abstract
Tyrosine sulfation alters the biological activity of many proteins involved in different physiological and pathophysiological conditions, such as non-specific immune reaction, response to inflammation and ischemia, targeting of leukocytes and stem cells, or the formation of cancer metastases. Tyrosine sulfation is catalyzed by the enzymes tyrosylprotein sulfotransferases (TPST). In this study, we used QM/MM Car-Parrinello metadynamics simulations together with QM/MM potential energy calculations to investigate the catalytic mechanism of isoform TPST-1. The structural changes along the reaction coordinate are analyzed and discussed. Furthermore, both the methods supported the SN2 type of catalytic mechanism. The reaction barrier obtained from CPMD metadynamics was 12.8 kcal mol-1, and the potential energy scan led to reaction barriers of 11.6 kcal mol-1 and 13.7 kcal mol-1 with the B3LYP and OPBE functional, respectively. The comparison of the two methods (metadynamics and potential energy scan) may be helpful for future mechanistic studies. The insight into the reaction mechanism of TPST-1 might help with the rational design of transition-state TPST inhibitors.

Abstract
Tetranuclear Cp4M4(CO)4 clusters have been synthesized for iron and vanadium but not for the intermediate first-row transition metals manganese and chromium. All of the low-energy structures of these "missing" Cp4M4(CO)4 (M = Mn, Cr) species are shown by density functional theory to consist of a central M4 tetrahedron with each of the four faces capped by a μ3-CO group. The individual low-energy structures differ in their spin states and in their formal metal-metal bond orders along the six edges of their central M4 tetrahedra. The two low-energy Cp4Mn4(μ3-CO)4 structures are a triplet structure with all Mn-Mn single bonds and a singlet structure with one Mn≡Mn triple bond and five Mn-Mn single bonds along the six tetrahedral edges. Related low-energy Cp4Cr4(μ3-CO)4 structures include a quintet structure with all Cr-Cr single bonds and a singlet structure with two Cr≡Cr triple bonds and four Cr-Cr single bonds. However, the potential energy surface of the Cp4Cr4(CO)4 system is complicated by three other structures of comparable energies including two triplet structures and one quintet structure with various combinations of single, double, and triple chromium-chromium bonds in the central Cr4 tetrahedron.
