In this Letter we report an easy way to estimate ring strain energies using the Bader's theory of 'atoms-in-molecules'. We demonstrate that the value of the Lagrange kinetic energy density at the ring critical point correlates with the ring strain energies in several three-, four-, five- and six-membered carbocycles, therefore it can be used as a measure of ring strain. Since it is easy to calculate and, in contrast to the ring strain energy calculations, it is free from other influences, as the number and type of reference molecules and type of reaction (isodesmic, homodesmotic, hyperhomodesmotic, etc.). Its use in heterocycles requires more investigation. (C) 2012 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.

Structural predictions of protein-DNA binding: MELD-DNA

Reza Esmaeeli, Antonio Bauza, Alberto Perez

Summary: MELD-DNA is a novel computational approach that predicts the structures of protein-DNA complexes and provides qualitative binding preferences between DNA sequences. It combines molecular dynamics simulations with Bayesian inference, incorporating general knowledge or experimental information. The method is sensitive to sequence-dependent properties and conformational changes required for binding, while information accelerates sampling of bound conformations.

Supramolecular Assemblies in Pyridine- and Pyrazole-Based Coordination Compounds of Co(II) and Ni(II): Characterization, Hirshfeld Analysis and Theoretical Studies

Trishnajyoti Baishya, Rosa M. Gomila, Miquel Barcelo-Oliver, Diego M. Gil, Manjit K. Bhattacharyya, Antonio Frontera

Summary: Two new Ni(II) and Co(II) coordination compounds were synthesized and characterized. Compound 1 is a co-crystal hydrate of Ni(II), while compound 2 is a mononuclear compound of Co(II). The crystal structure analysis revealed various non-covalent interactions, such as anion-pi, pi-pi, C-H···π, C-H···C, which stabilize the compound. The theoretical calculations confirmed the importance of H-bonding interactions and n-stacking contacts in the solid-state stability of compound 1.

Matere Bonds in Technetium Compounds: CSD Survey and Theoretical Considerations

Sergi Burguera, Rosa M. M. Gomila, Antonio Bauza, Antonio Frontera

Summary: This study highlights the importance of technetium derivatives in various oxidation states (+7, +6, +5, and +3) for the first time, where copper elements act as electron acceptors. The structure directing role of these derivatives, including anion-anion interactions, is demonstrated using the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The study also provides further characterization of the derivatives using Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP) surface calculations, Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM), and Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) analyses.

Cooperativity effects in a new pterostilbene/phenanthroline cocrystal

Rafael Barbas, Lidia Bofill, Vineet Kumar, Rafel Prohens, Antonio Frontera

Summary: The crystal structure of the natural dietary compound pterostilbene and phenanthroline cocrystal is reported. The cocrystal forms various supramolecular synthons through H-bonding and C-H···π interactions, with a focus on the parallel face-to-face stacking of the phenanthroline rings, which is a rare feature. Cooperativity effects between H-bonding and aromatic interactions were studied to understand the formation of this unique π-stacking mode.

Philipp Royla, Kai Schwedtmann, Zeyu Han, Jannis Fidelius, Derek P. Gates, Rosa M. Gomila, Antonio Frontera, Jan J. Weigand

Summary: Cationic imidazoliumyl(phosphonio)-phosphanides were obtained via the nucleophilic fragmentation of tetracationic tetraphosphetane with tertiary phosphanes. They can act as [LC-P]+ transfer reagents in phospha-Wittig-type reactions, yielding cationic phosphaalkenes and phosphanides. The versatility of [LC-P]+ as a valuable P1 building block was demonstrated in substitution reactions, providing a convenient access to difficult-to-synthesize compounds.

Sergi Burguera, Antonio Frontera, Antonio Bauza

Summary: In this study, the effects of substituents on silicon tetrel bonding (TtB) complexes were investigated using theoretical calculations. The electronic nature of substituents in both donor and acceptor moieties was found to influence the interaction energy. Different tetrafluorophenyl silane derivatives with various electron donating and electron withdrawing groups were used, along with hydrogen cyanide derivatives as electron donor molecules. The results showed good regression plots between interaction energies and Hammett's sigma parameter.

Supramolecular luminescent Pt(ii) tweezers: aggregation studies and O-1(2) production

Guillermo Romo-Islas, Rosa M. Gomila, Antonio Frontera, Laura Rodriguez

Summary: Four series of Pt(ii) tweezer compounds were designed and synthesized to investigate their ability to form luminescent supramolecular assemblies. The compounds have a general chemical structure of (diphos)Pt(N<^>N<^>N), where diphos is a diphosphane that imparts a tweezer structure to the complexes. The four series differ in the substituents of the N<^>N<^>N ligands, which affect their electronic and bulk properties. Spectroscopic analysis and DFT calculations revealed the presence of intra- and intermolecular Pt•••Pt, Pt•••π, and π•••π interactions, leading to aggregates with varying stabilities. The aggregation process was analyzed in both solution and solid state, showing that emission properties are influenced by aggregation, as demonstrated by enhanced phosphorescence emission in the absence of chloride substituents.

Enzymatic reversion of Pt(ii) nucleophilicity through charge dumping: the case of Pt(CN)42-

Sergi Burguera, Antonio Frontera, Antonio Bauza

Summary: By combining computations and X-ray structure analysis, we have demonstrated that [Pt(CN4)](2-) can act as a Lewis acid inside an enzyme's cavity. The nature of an unexpected contact between a catalytically active GLN residue in a mitochondrial synthase and the Pt(ii) center was investigated using molecular dynamics and quantum mechanics calculations. The results confirm the electron acceptor role of [Pt(CN4)](2-), which serves as inspiration for designing biomolecular cages that can modify the nucleophilic/electrophilic character of an organometallic compound.

Complexes of the noble-gas atoms with borazine: Theoretical insights into structure, stability, and bonding character

Stefano Borocci, Armando Camerlingo, Felice Grandinetti, Maria Rutigliano, Nico Sanna

Summary: The complexes of He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe with B3N3H6 were investigated using MP2, CCSD(T), and SAPT ab initio methods. The complexes can be described as mono-, di-, and tri-coordinated to the N atoms, with stability following the order N-mono < N-di < N-tri. The interactions are dominated by dispersion and the binding energies are within the range of 1 or 2 kcal mol(-1). The results were compared with a recent DFT study on larger BN sheets complexes [Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 24 (2022) 2554-2566.].

Investigation of Ce-based buffer layers on electrochemical performance of YSZ-based symmetric solid oxide fuel cells

Chanchan Wang, Quan Yang, Yanzhi Ding, Xiaoyong Lu, Dong Tian

Summary: It has been found that the introduction of buffer layers improves the electrical performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SSOFCs). In this study, varying ratios of Gd-doped CeO2 were used as buffer layers in YSZ-based SSOFCs. The results demonstrate that the performance of SSOFCs is enhanced when a buffer layer is added, with the highest performance achieved using Ce0.8Gd0.2O2-delta (GDC20) as the buffer layer. This suggests that the use of GDC series buffer layers is an attractive strategy to optimize performance loss due to electrolyte-electrode interactions.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of aspect ratio and quantum confinement on the single-photon and two-photon absorption cross-section of perovskite CsPbI3 nanorods. Experimental data shows that CsPbI3 nanorods have an extremely high two-photon absorption cross-section, significantly surpassing organic chromophores and other CsPbBr3 nanocrystals. Moreover, adjusting the aspect ratio can significantly enhance the absorption ability. Additionally, the study also reveals a moderate quantum confinement effect on the single-photon and two-photon absorption cross-section of the nanorods.
