Article Synopsis
  • Molecular nanoswitches are important in molecular electronics, focusing on the design and synthesis of organic molecules that can switch between states.
  • Understanding switching mechanisms involves studying charge transfer, electron movement, and various electrical properties such as current-voltage characteristics.
  • The article introduces a new method for designing molecular nanoswitches, utilizing advanced theories like QTAIM, DFT, and Landauer theory to enhance knowledge of their ON/OFF mechanisms and improve molecular electronic systems.

In this work, we use a combination of dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D3) and the TiberCAD framework for the first time to investigate a newly designed and synthesized class of (CHN)[CuCl] 2D-type perovskite. The inter- and intra-atomic reorganization in the crystal packing and the type of interaction forming in the active area have been discussed via Hirshfeld surface (HS) analyses. A distinct charge transfer from CuCl to [CHN] is identified by frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) and density of states (DOS).

This work explores one centrosymmetric binuclear Cu(ii)-Salen complex synthesis, characterization, photosensitive Schottky barrier diode (PSBD) function, and DFT spectrum. The crystal growth involves HL and Cu(NO)·3HO in CHOH + ACN (acetonitrile) solvent medium. Herein, structural characterization employs elemental, IR/Raman, NMR, UV-VIS, DRS, SEM-EDX, PXRD, SCXRD, and XPS analyses.

The article divulges the crystal growth, synthesis, and X-ray structure characterization of one centrosymmetric cadmium complex, [Cd{CdL(μ-1,3-acetate)}] using Salen ligand (SL). The complex is further characterized using spectroscopic and analytical techniques, including DRS, SEM-EDX, PXRD, and ICP-MS. The crystallographic study showed that the complex has a monoclinic space 2/.

The selectivity of a novel chemosensor, based on a modified nitrobenzofurazan referred to as NBD-Morph, has been investigated for the detection of heavy metal cations (Co, Pb, Mg, Ag, Cu, Hg, Ni2+, and Zn). The ligand, 4-morpholino-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Morph), was characterized using spectroscopic techniques including FT-IR and H NMR. Vibrational frequencies obtained from FT-IR and proton NMR (H) chemical shifts were accurately predicted employing the density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP level of theory.
