Published: March 2006

We introduce a posteriori multiplicity-based corrections to ab initio energies in order to reproduce experimental atomization energies. This simple approach, as compared to the alternative ones to improve density functionals and standard correlated methods, requires less computational resources than higher levels of theory. We extend our approach to include molecules containing second-row elements. Molecules are taken from the Gaussian sets for which experimental values are known with errors of less than 1 kcal/mol. We postulate that inexpensive multiplicity-based corrections can account for effects that are not accounted because of the low level of theory of the method or because of the small basis used for the calculations.

Porous coordination cages (PCCs), molecular analogs of metal-organic frameworks, offer modular platforms for studying the adsorption properties of small molecules, with coordinatively unsaturated metal centers playing a pivotal role in tuning these behaviors. In this work, we present the synthesis, activation, and detailed gas adsorption studies of second-row transition metal-based ML cuboctahedral cages, specifically Mo(bdc), Rh(bdc), and [Ru(bdc)]Cl. These materials represent rare examples of Mo-, Rh-, and Ru-based hybrid porous solids.

In the previous work, LCgau-core-BOP, which includes the short-range interelectronic Gaussian attenuating Hartree-Fock (HF) exchange to the long-range HF exchange, showed high accuracy core-excitation energies from 1s orbitals of the second-row atoms (1s → π*, 1s → σ*, 1s → *, and 1s → Rydberg), but underestimates the core-excitation energies from 1s orbitals of the third-row atoms. To improve this, we added one more Gaussian attenuating HF exchange to LCgau-core-BOP. We named it LC2gau-core-BOP, which achieves a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.

The rapid development of deep learning techniques has driven the emergence of a neural network-based variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method (referred to as FermiNet), which has manifested high accuracy and strong predictive power in the electronic structure calculations of atoms, molecules, and some periodic systems. Recently, the implementation of the effective core potential (ECP) scheme has further facilitated more efficient calculations in practice. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive assessments of the ECP's performance under the FermiNet.

Aromaticity in organic molecules is well defined, but its role in metal-only rings remains controversial. Here we introduce a supramolecular stabilization approach of a cationic {Bi} rhomboid within the symmetric charge sphere of two bowl-shaped dianionic calix[4]pyrrolato indinates. Crystallographic and spectroscopic characterization, quantum chemical analysis and magnetically induced ring currents indicate σ-aromaticity in the formally tetracationic 16-valence electron [Bi] ring.

Functionalization of C-H bonds has emerged as a powerful strategy for converting inert, nonfunctional C-H bonds into their reactive counterparts. A wide range of C-H bond functionalization reactions has become possible by the catalysis of metals, typically from the second row of transition metals. First-row transition metals can also catalyze C-H functionalization, and they have the merits of greater earth-abundance, lower cost and better environmental friendliness in comparison to their second-row counterparts.
