We present preliminary data demonstrating that orbital eigenenergy fluctuation recorded in the course of ab initio molecular dynamics calculations may contain information relevant in determining molecular behavior and recognition. A simple scheme is presented that maps these data to molecular descriptors. Using computational drug design as the context, these descriptors are compared with previous electronic eigenvalue descriptor methods with encouraging results.

Electrochemical glycerol oxidation reaction (GOR) presents a promising approach for converting excess glycerol (GLY) into high-value-added products. However, the complex mechanism and the challenge of achieving selectivity for diverse products make GOR difficult to address in both experimental and theoretical studies. In this work, three nitrogen-doped graphene-supported copper single-atom catalysts (CuN@Gra SACs, x = 2-4) were selected as the model system due to their simple structure, excellent conductivity and high structural stability.

Background: Microplastics are tiny plastic particles, typically less than 5 mm in size, formed from the breakdown of larger plastic products. This breakdown releases additives, including benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), into the environment. Humans can be exposed to BBP through contaminated food and water, inhalation, and dermal contact.

A thorium-carbon double bond that corresponds to the sum of theoretical covalent double bond radii has long been sought after in the study of actinide-ligand multiple bonding as a synthetic target. However, the stabilization of this chemical bond remains a great challenge to date, in part because of a relatively poor energetic matching between 5f-/6d- orbitals of thorium and the 2s-/2p- frontier orbitals of carbon. Herein, we report the successful synthesis of a thorium-carbon double bond in a carbon-bridged actinide-transition metal cluster, i.

Traditionally, because of the limit of full configuration interaction, complete active space (CAS) theory is most often used to model bond dissociation and other dynamical processes where the multi-reference character becomes important. Inconveniently, the CAS method is highly dependent on the choice of active space and, therefore, inherently non-black-box, in addition to the exponential scaling with respect to electrons and orbitals. This illustrates the need for methods that can accurately treat multi-reference electronic structure problems without significant dependence on input parameters.
