AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines π-halogen bond interactions between the (BNN)₃⁺ complex and various halogen molecules (F₂, ClF, Cl₂, BrCl, Br₂, BrF) using advanced computational methods.
- The stability and strength of these interactions are ranked, revealing that (BNN)₃⁺... F₂ has the weakest bond and (BNN)₃⁺... BrF has the strongest.
- Analysis techniques indicate that charge transfer from the π-HOMO of (BNN)₃⁺ plays a significant role in forming these bonds, suggesting (BNN)₃⁺ acts as a π-electron donor.
Article Abstract
The unusual π-halogen bond interactions are investigated between (BNN)₃⁺ and X1X2 (X1, X2 = F, Cl, Br) employing MP2 at 6-311 + G(2d) and aug-cc-pVDZ levels according to the "CP (counterpoise) corrected potential energy surface (PES)" method. The order of the π-halogen bond interactions and stabilities of the complexes are obtained to be (BNN)₃⁺... F₂ < (BNN)₃⁺... ClF < (BNN)₃⁺... Cl₂ < (BNN)₃⁺... BrCl < (BNN)₃⁺... Br₂ < (BNN)₃⁺ ... BrF. at MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level. The analyses of the Mulliken charge transfer, natural bond orbital (NBO), atoms in molecules (AIM) theory and electron density shifts reveal that the nature of the π-halogen bond interaction in the complexes of ClF, BrF and BrCl might partly be charge transfer from the delocalized π-HOMO orbital of (BNN)₃⁺ to X1X2. This result suggests that the positive aromatic ring (BNN)₃⁺ might act as a π-electron donor to form the π-halogen bond.

Background: Psychologists have developed frameworks to understand many constructs, which have subsequently informed the design of digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) aimed at improving mental health outcomes. The science of happiness is one such domain that holds significant applied importance due to its links to well-being and evidence that happiness can be cultivated through interventions. However, as with many constructs, the unique ways in which individuals experience happiness present major challenges for designing personalized DMHIs.

In this Letter, we study the phase transition between amorphous ices and the nature of the hysteresis cycle separating them. We discover that a topological transition takes place as the system transforms from low-density amorphous ice (LDA) at low pressures to high-density amorphous ice (HDA) at high pressures. Specifically, we uncover that the hydrogen bond network (HBN) displays qualitatively different topologies in the LDA and HDA phases: the former characterized by disentangled loop motifs, with the latter displaying topologically complex long-lived Hopf-linked and knotted configurations.

Glutathione (GSH) plays an important role in maintaining redox homeostasis in biological systems. Development of reliable glutathione sensors is of great significance to better understand the role of biomolecules in living cells and organisms. Based on the advantages of the photophysical properties of iridium complexes, we proposed a "turn-on" phosphorescent sensor.
