Abstract
The Amadori rearrangement products are an important flavor precursor in the Maillard reaction. Its thermal decomposition products usually contribute good flavors in foods. Therefore, investigating the thermal breakdown of Amadori products is significant for understanding the flavor forming mechanism in the Maillard reaction. In this study, volatiles from thermal decomposition of Amadori products in cysteine and glucose Maillard reaction was investigated by a thermal desorption cryo-trapping system combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 60 volatiles were detected and identified. Meanwhile, the forming mechanism of 2-methylthiophene, a major decomposition product, was also investigated by using density functional theory. Seventeen reactions, 12 transition states, energy barrier and rate constant of each reaction were finally obtained. Results reveal that it is more likely for Amadori products of cysteine and glucose to undergo decomposition under neutral or weakly alkaline conditions.

Abstract
Unsaturated fatty aldehydes are the main products of fatty acid oxidation, and could be further oxidized to form volatile compounds with shorter carbon chains. Therefore, studying the oxidation of unsaturated fatty aldehydes is an important way to reveal the mechanism of food flavor formation during heating. In this study, volatile profiling of (E)-2-decenal during heating was firstly investigated by using thermal-desorption cryo-trapping combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 38 volatile compounds were detected. Then, twenty-one reactions in the heating process of (E)-2-decenal were obtained by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and grouped into three oxidation pathways, namely, peroxide pathway, peroxyl radical pathway and alkoxy radical pathway. Meanwhile, the priority of these three pathways was the alkoxy radical reaction pathway > peroxide pathway > peroxyl radical reaction pathway. Moreover, the calculated results agreed well with the experimental results.

Abstract
The nascent field of computationally aided molecular design will be built around the ability to make computation useful to synthetic chemists who draw on their empirically based chemical intuition to synthesize new and useful molecules. This fact poses a dilemma, as much of existing chemical intuition is framed in the language of chemical bonds, which are pictured as possessing physical properties. Unfortunately, it has been posited that calculating these bond properties is impossible because chemical bonds do not exist. For much of the computationalchemistry community, bonds are seen as mythical-the unicorns of the chemical world. Here, we show that this is not the case. Using the same formalism and concepts that illuminated the atoms in molecules, we shine light on the bonds that connect them. The real space analogue of the chemical bond becomes the bond bundle in an extended quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM). We show that bond bundles possess all the properties typically associated with chemical bonds, including an energy and electron count. In addition, bond bundles are characterized by a number of nontraditional attributes, including, significantly, a boundary. We show, with examples drawn from solid state and molecular chemistry, that the calculated properties of bond bundles are consistent with those that nourish chemical intuition. We go further, however, and show that bond bundles provide new and quantifiable insights into the structure and properties of molecules and materials.

Abstract
It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules underlies enantioselective recognition as a fundamental phenomenon regulating life and human activities. Thus, noncovalent interactions represent the narrative thread of a fascinating story which goes across several disciplines of medical, chemical, physical, biological, and other natural sciences. This review has been conceived with the awareness that a modern attitude toward molecular chirality and its consequences needs to be founded on multidisciplinary approaches to disclose the molecular basis of essential enantioselective phenomena in the domain of chemical, physical, and life sciences. With the primary aim of discussing this topic in an integrated way, a comprehensive pool of rational and systematic multidisciplinary information is provided, which concerns the fundamentals of chirality, a description of noncovalent interactions, and their implications in enantioselective processes occurring in different contexts. A specific focus is devoted to enantioselection in chromatography and electromigration techniques because of their unique feature as "multistep" processes. A second motivation for writing this review is to make a clear statement about the state of the art, the tools we have at our disposal, and what is still missing to fully understand the mechanisms underlying enantioselective recognition.

Abstract
This article reviews the development of concepts of chirality in chemistry. The story follows the parallel development of the optical properties of materials and the understanding of chemical structure until the two are fused in the recognition of the tetrahedral carbon atom in 1874. The different types of chiral molecule that have been identified since the first concept of the asymmetric carbon atom are introduced as is the notation used in various disciplines of chemistry to describe the relative or absolute configuration. In the final section, a polemical case for a unified nomenclature is presented.

Abstract
Unlike the conventional model of transition metal catalysis, ligands in metal-ligand cooperative (or bifunctional) catalysis are involved in the substrate activations. Such processes have offered unique mechanistic understandings and led to new concepts for the catalyst design. In particular, unprecedented activities were discovered when the ligand could undergo dearomatization-rearomatization reactions during the catalytic cycle. Aromatization can provide an extra driving force to thermodynamics; consequently, it brings a new perspective to ligand platform design for catalysis. While numerous applications were demonstrated, the influences of changing ligand aromatic properties were often overlooked. In this article, representative ligand systems will be highlighted and a comparison between the Milstein and the Huang pincer systems will be discussed to provide theoretical and conceptual insights.

Abstract
Although 1,2,4,5-tetrazines or s-tetrazines have been known in the literature for more than a century, their coordination chemistry has become increasingly popular in recent years due to their unique redox activity, multiple binding sites and their various applications. The electron-poor character of the ring and stabilization of the radical anion through all four nitrogen atoms in their metal complexes provide new aspects in molecular magnetism towards the synthesis of new high performing Single Molecule Magnets (SMMs). The scope of this review is to examine the role of s-tetrazine radical ligands in transition metal and lanthanide based SMMs and provide a critical overview of the progress thus far in this field. As well, general synthetic routes and new insights for the preparation of s-tetrazines are discussed, along with their redox activity and applications in various fields. Concluding remarks along with the limitations and perspectives of these ligands are discussed.

Abstract
A non-empirical exchange functional based on an interpolation between two limits of electron density, slowly varying limit and asymptotic limit, is proposed. In the slowly varying limit, we follow the study by Kleinman from 1984 which considered the response of a free-electron gas to an external periodic potential, but further assume that the perturbing potential also induces Bragg diffraction of the Fermi electrons. The interpolation function is motivated by the exact exchange functional of a hydrogen atom. Combined with our recently proposed correlation functional, tests on 56 small molecules show that, for the first-row molecules, the exchange-correlation combo predicts the total energies four times more accurately than the presently available Quantum Monte Carlo results. For the second-row molecules, errors of the core electrons exchange energies can be corrected, leading to the most accurate first- and second-row molecular total energy predictions reported to date despite minimal computational efforts. The calculated bond energies, zero point energies, and dipole moments are also presented, which do not outperform other methods.
