Septet 2,4,6-trinitrenotoluene is the major paramagnetic product formed during the photolysis of 2,4,6-triazidotoluene in cryogenic matrices. This trinitrene displays different electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra in solid argon and in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2MTHF) glass, corresponding to septet spin states with the zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameters D(S) = -0.0938 cm(-1), E(S) = -0.0040 cm(-1) and D(S) = -0.0934 cm(-1), E(S) = -0.0015 cm(-1), respectively. Analysis of these parameters shows that the molecular and electronic structure of the septet trinitrene derived from the EPR spectrum in argon is in good agreement with the expectations from DFT calculations. The very small parameter E(S) in 2MTHF glass is explained by significant changes of the spin densities on the three nitrene units due to interactions of the nitrogen atom with surrounding 2MTHF molecules.

Endohedral metallo-borospherenes M@B have received considerable attention since the discovery of B in 2014. However, the coordination bonding nature of most of actinide-doped endohedral An@B still remains in dispute or unexplored. Extensive and systematic first-principles theory calculations performed herein unveil the ground states of triplet U@B (, , A), quartet U@B (, , B), quintet Np@B (, , A), sextet Np@B (, , A), septet Pu@B (, , A), octet Am@B (, , A), and octet Cm@B (, , A) at the coupled-cluster with triple excitations CCSD(T) level.

Spectroscopic characterization of highly excited neutral transition-metal complexes is important for understanding the multifaceted reaction mechanisms between metals and ligands. In this work, the reactions of neutral chromium atoms with carbon monoxide were probed by size-specific infrared spectroscopy. Interestingly, Cr(CO) was found to have an unprecedented A septet excited state rather than the singlet ground state.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS ) is the building component of 1D-monolayer, 2D-layered nanosheets and nanotubes having many applications in industry, and it is detected in various molecular systems observed in nature. Here, the electronic structure and the chemical bonding of sixteen low-lying states of the triatomic MoS molecule are investigated, while the connection of the chemical bonding of the isolated MoS molecule to the relevant 2D-MoS , is emphasized. The MoS molecule is studied via DFT and multireference methodologies, i.
