The ground and first excited singlet and triplet states of porphine, tetraoxa-isophlorin, and tetraoxa[8]circulene have been studied in terms of aromaticity. The magnetically induced ring-currents have been calculated at the density functional theory and ab initio (CASSCF) levels of theory to assess aromaticity. Based on the analysis of the expression for the ring-current density in the first excited singlet state, a spectroscopic criterion for antiaromaticity in the S1 state has been proposed. The antiaromatic S1 state is expected for molecules with low-lying magnetic dipole-allowed electronic transitions S1 → Sn, where the transition energy is less than 1.0 eV.

In this work, the host–guest chemistry of macrocyclic hosts with M2Cp2 (M = Be and Mg) and their fluoro derivatives (M2Cp2F10) have been systematically investigated by using DFT calculations. Four suitable host molecules were selected to encapsulate guest molecules to improve their structural stability. All hosts can form 1:1 inclusion complexes with M2Cp2 and M2Cp2F10, and the structural stability is mainly due to the non-bonding interactions. In comparison, the stabilizing effect of macrocyclic hosts on Mg2Cp2 is stronger than that on Be2Cp2, as do their fluoro derivatives, and the inclusion ability of prism[5]arene to Be2Cp2 is noteworthy.

The structural properties of three deep eutectic solvents (DESs), namely a 1:2 mixture of urea and choline (Ch) chloride and two analogous DESs containing different cations in place of choline, namely benzyl(2-hydroxyethyl)dimethylammonium (BeH) and benzyltrimethylammonium (Be), were studied by means of Molecular Dynamics simulations. The presence or not of a hydroxyl group on the organic cation, as well as of a bulky substituent such as the benzyl one, was found to strongly affect the DES hydrogen bond network, giving rise to different three dimensional arrangements of all the species present in the systems.

Aggregation of amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) into β-sheet-rich fibrils is central to the development of Alzheimer’s disease, with Aβ42 more prone to aggregation over Aβ40. Using the intrinsic tyrosine fluorescence spectrum, we show that Aβ42 exhibits a biphasic fluorescence pattern featuring a broad band and a narrow one, distinct from Aβ40 and dissolved tyrosine. Molecular dynamics simulations highlighted the differences in tyrosine’s rotamer populations and dynamics between dissolved and aggregated amyloids. Fibrillar Aβ42 shows slower, more uniform tyrosine rotations, corresponding to the narrower fluorescence band. This approach offers a rapid means to differentiate Aβ42 aggregates, benefiting Aβ-related research.

We propose a dynamic mechanism for the reversible regulation of photosynthesis in varying light environments. We employ a three-level quantum model to take into account the correlations between charge donors and charge acceptors immediately before photoexcitation, and show that under continuous illumination, the transfer efficiency of a single charge is inversely proportional to the intensity of light, which can be suppressed so severely that it becomes a limiting factor on linear electron transport. This result is used to derive a set of analytical expressions that characterize the light response curves of photosynthetic parameters, including that of gross photosynthetic rate which saturates in high light and has long been assumed to obey a Michaelis–Menten function. We discuss the implications of thermal fluctuation in the light source, and argue that at a given intensity of light, the quantum yields measured with an incandescent lamp may be higher than those measured with a laser, a manifestation of thermal fluctuation in lamp illumination. Our new picture helps understand the observed plastocyanin-dependent electron transport in photosystem I and provides a donor-side scheme for the onset of irreversible damage to photosystem II by visible light.
我们提出了在不同光照环境下可逆调节光合作用的动态机制。我们采用三级量子模型来考虑光激发前电荷供体和电荷受体之间的相关性,结果表明,在连续光照下,单个电荷的传输效率与光照强度成反比,光照强度可以被严重抑制,以至于成为线性电子传输的限制因素。我们利用这一结果推导出一组分析表达式,这些表达式描述了光合作用参数的光响应曲线,包括总光合速率曲线,该曲线在强光下达到饱和,长期以来一直被认为服从迈克尔-门顿函数。我们讨论了光源热波动的影响,并认为在给定的光照强度下,用白炽灯测得的量子产率可能高于用激光测得的量子产率,这是白炽灯光照热波动的表现。我们的新观点有助于理解在光系统 I 中观察到的依赖于质花青素的电子传递,并为可见光对光系统 II 造成不可逆损伤提供了供体侧方案。

Our paper is devoted to the study of the structure of the hydroxonium ion, its thermal drift and electrical conductivity in pure water. The qualitative analysis is based on the special model of a water molecule. This approach first of all is applied to the modeling of structure of hydroxonium ion. It had been shown that 1) the modeling values of the geometrical parameters for the hydroxonium ion are in quite satisfactory agreement with those obtained by different experimental methods; 2) the temperature dependence for the effective radius of the hydroxonium ion in liquid water is discussed; 3) the principally important influence of the hexagonal ice nuclei on the mobility of hydroxonium ion near the triple point of water is considered and stressed; 4) the temperature dependence of the fraction volume for nuclei having the structure of the hexagonal ice is determined. The proposed model of the hydroxonium ion describes its thermal drift and the electrical conductivity of pure water with satisfactory accuracy.

A molecular thread composed by Tolyl-Viologen-Phenylene-Imidazole (T-VPI) subunits is investigated in a neutral aqueous environment and under acid conditions (T-VPI-H+) by classical molecular dynamics and a hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanics approach. Nanosolvation patterns and UV/Vis spectroscopic properties for both T-VPI and T-VPI-H+ synthetic systems are characterized by analysing classical configurations with a QM(TD-DFT)/MM+C-PCM decomposition model. The derived aqueous UV/Vis absorptions support experimental observations under equilibrium conditions at 298 K while shedding light on the electronic degrees of freedom involved in the electronic excitations.

To overcome the problems SnO2 anode faced, this work prepares porous carbon-coated SnO2 nanoplates (SnO2@C) on account of the advantages of ultrathin two-dimensional nanostructure and carbon coating on the surface, which is achieved through a simple and novel hydrothermal-assisted method. The novelty of this method is that preparing SnO2 and introducing hole making SiO2 template, which are generally achieved in steps, are successfully completed in a single hydrothermal process, thus showing relative simplicity. The results confirm that the SnO2@C shows improved kinetics, stable structure and a LiF-rich SEI layer during cycling, thereby exhibiting outstanding lithium storage performance.

A novel Bi-composite photocatalyst BiVO4/g-C3N4/Ag3PO4 with a double Z-scheme structure was prepared by hydrothermal method assisted by honeysuckle extract. When the mass fraction of Ag3PO4 in the composite is 10 %, the inactivation rates of E.coli and S. aureus were 6.9 and 4.6 log, respectively. The MIC results were 0.6 and 0.8 mg/ml, respectively. The capture experiment confirmed that h+ and O2− were the main active substances that catalyzed bacteriostasis. Double Z heterojunction reduces the photochemical corrosion of Ag3PO4, changes the transmission path of photogenerated electrons, and then promotes the separation of photogenerated electron holes, thus obtaining significant photocatalytic activity.

We investigate photodissociation of the gas-phase palladium complex anions, Pd(II)Cl3- and Pd(I)Cl2-, both experimentally and theoretically. Visible photodissociation mass spectrometry reveals that the main dissociation channels differ for Pd(II)Cl3- and Pd(I)Cl2-; the former yields neutral chlorine atom (Pd(I)Cl2- + Cl) whereas the latter affords chloride anion (Pd(I)Cl + Cl-). Absorption spectrum and photodissociation channels are predicted using the MRCI method. The observed absorption spectrum and dissociation product for Pd(II)Cl3- agree with the MRCI calculation, whereas those for Pd(I)Cl2- do not, which suggests that some relaxation process such as internal conversion significantly contributes to the photodissociation of Pd(I)Cl2-.
