A new extended viologen, 4,4'-(2,2'-bithiophene-5,5'-diyl)bis(1-decylpyridinium) triflimide (DTEV2+), has been synthesized and characterized at theoretical and experimental level. Electrochemical and spectro-electrochemical characterization show that this compound undergoes a two-electron reduction mechanism. Density functional computations give insights on the conformational properties of the different reduction species and allow the assignment of the absorption spectra. The agreement between calculated and experimental spectra is quite satisfactory. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Chalcogen Effects in the Photophysical Properties of Dimethylamino-1,8-naphthalimide Dyes Revealed by DFT Investigation

Marta Erminia Alberto, Bruna Clara De Simone, Tiziana Marino, Marirosa Toscano, Nino Russo

Summary: Thionation of carbonyl groups in known dyes has proven to enhance singlet oxygen production and shift the absorption band, suggesting a potential strategy for developing heavy-atom-free photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this study, the effect of sulfur and selenium substitution for oxygen in the oxo-4-dimethylamino-1,8-naphthalimide molecule was investigated. The thio- and seleno-derivatives were found to allow for multiple intersystem crossing pathways, leading to increased singlet oxygen production. Moreover, the transition from a (1)pi pi* to a (1)n pi* state in the selenium derivative was crucial for reaching clinically useful regions of the spectrum. These findings suggest that selenium-for-oxygen substitution could be a promising strategy for developing more suitable PDT agents and advancing heavy-atom-free photosensitizers.

Sulphur- and Selenium-for-Oxygen Replacement as a Strategy to Obtain Dual Type I/Type II Photosensitizers for Photodynamic Therapy

Mario Prejano, Marta Erminia Alberto, Bruna Clara De Simone, Tiziana Marino, Marirosa Toscano, Nino Russo

Summary: The effect of sulfur and selenium replacement in the DMNP molecule on its photophysical properties has been investigated using density functional theory (DFT). Computed structural parameters, excitation energies, singlet-triplet energy gaps (?ES-T), and spin-orbit coupling constants (SOC) suggest an enhanced probability of intersystem crossing (ISC) in the thio- and seleno-derivatives, leading to increased singlet oxygen quantum yields. Additionally, electron transfer mechanisms indicating dual Type I/Type II activity were found for all compounds.

Marta E. Alberto, Antonio Frances-Monerris

Summary: This study uses state-of-the-art multiscale QM/MM dynamics to describe the photoactivation process of a Pt(ii)-unit, taking into account both dynamic and environmental effects.

Computationally designed p-coumaric acid analogs: searching for neuroprotective antioxidants

Miguel Reina, Eduardo Gabriel Guzman-Lopez, Isabella Romeo, Tiziana Marino, Nino Russo, Annia Galano

Summary: A systematic search for new p-coumaric acid derivatives was conducted using a computer-assisted protocol, resulting in the selection of 10 derivatives with favorable drug-like behavior and lower toxicity. Three of these derivatives were identified as promising chemical antioxidants, potentially more effective than p-coumaric acid itself in combating oxidative stress. These findings suggest potential applications in developing new non-nitrocatechol inhibitors for Parkinson's disease treatment without the side effects of current inhibitors.

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.
