Summary: This study investigates how methyl substituents affect the stability of alkyl radicals and provides evidence that contradicts the existing model. It is found that although the radicals become less stable with increasing substitution, the corresponding C-H bond weakens due to the increased steric congestion in the molecule.

Summary: The reaction initiation points of the 16 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been determined by calculating the different C-H bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) values. Six density functional theory methods and four basis sets were applied, and the most feasible combination was selected. Most of the hydrogen atoms are in zig-zag positions, and the BDE and bond length values for the PAHs range between certain values. The initiation points are mostly represented by armchair and peak hydrogens.

Summary: This study systematically explores the catalytic activity of tungsten monocarbide (WC) by studying the methane dehydrogenation and C-C coupling processes on WC surfaces using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results indicate that the W-terminated WC(0001) surface is the most favorable exposed surface with a lower surface energy. Additionally, the Co(111), Ni(111), and W-terminated WC(0001) surfaces exhibit similar catalytic properties in methane dehydrogenation, and the rate-limiting step on the W-terminated WC(0001) surface is the dissociation of CH*. C-C coupling through CH* intermediates on the W-terminated WC(0001) surface favors the formation of C2H2 kinetically.

Summary: Density functional theory (DFT) is a convenient method for studying molecular systems and materials. However, it has a charge delocalization problem for dissociation of molecular systems. To solve this, the use of cluster operator from coupled-cluster theory within DFT has been proposed. This study further explores the application of singles cluster operator for molecular ground state calculations and presents two approximate methods: linearized scheme of the quadratic equation and non-self-consistent field calculations. These methods effectively improve the energy and density of the system and are stable.

Summary: In this study, the MRCI approach was used to investigate the potential energy curves (PECs) of NO and N-2. The PECs obtained were in good agreement with the RKR potential, which allowed for the accurate calculation of Frank-Condon factors. Using the Rosen-Zener approximation and Frank-Condon factors, the quenching rate coefficients of various collision reactions involving NO(X-2 Pi,v*=0-3) and NO(A(2)sigma(+),v = 0-20), N2(A(3)sigma(+)(u),v = 0-23), and N-2(B-3 Pi(g),v = 0-28) were calculated. The results showed that higher vibrational excitation (v*) promotes the occurrence of quenching. Additionally, the rate coefficients of NO(X-2 Pi,v*) and N-2(X-1 sigma(+)(g),v*) colliding with NO(A(2)sigma(+),v = 0-20) at high temperature were also calculated, providing more accurate numerical basis for aircraft entering the atmosphere at high temperatures.

Summary: In this study, the collective asymmetric Rabi splitting of sulfur dioxide and carbon disulfide molecules in an optical cavity was investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The effects of the optical cavity on the ground state bond lengths and rotation behavior of the molecules were also studied. The results showed different promotion or inhibition effects on the upper polarons of the molecules with increasing coupling strength. The relationship between polarons and cavity mode frequencies was consistent for sulfur dioxide and carbon disulfide when the cavity mode frequency was highly positively detuned. However, the lower polaron of sulfur dioxide almost disappeared when the cavity mode frequency was highly negatively detuned. The study also revealed significant modification effects of the cavity on the ground state rotation behavior of the molecules. The findings provide important evidence for the reversible change of the chemical properties of sulfur dioxide and carbon disulfide molecules through vibrational strong coupling and vibrational ultrastrong coupling, and offer a new approach to control the physical and chemical properties of the molecules using the cavity mode. The results also contribute to the field of vibration-polariton science and provide comparable outcomes for future experiments on light-matter coupling.

Summary: This article investigates the mechanism of how the vertical dipole moment modulates the photoexcited carrier transport and the electron-hole recombination dynamics in polar Janus MoSSe/MoS2 stacked heterostructures using time-domain density functional theory and nonadiabatic dynamics. The study shows the stronger nonadiabatic coupling, interlayer-state delocalization, and built-in electric field contribute to a more efficient photocarrier separation across the interface. Janus MoSSe/MoS2 heterostructures exhibit superior photocatalytic activity, which can be attributed to ultrafast photocarrier separation triggered by the built-in electric field, suppressed carrier recombination, high solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency, and wide absorption coefficient.
