Pnictogen complexes between nitryl derivatives (NO2X, X = CN, F, Cl, Br, NO2, OH, CCH, and C2H3) and molecules acting as Lewis bases (H2O, H3N, CO, HCN, HNC and HCCH) have been obtained at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ computational level. A total of 53 minima have been located. Their energy, geometry, DFT-SAPT energy terms, electronic properties (NBO, AIM, ELF, and NCI) and NMR shieldings have been calculated and analyzed. Finally, a search in the CSD database has been carried out, showing a large number of similar interactions in crystallographic structures.

Nitro compounds play a crucial role in academia and industries, serving as building blocks for the synthesis of drugs, agrochemicals, and materials. Nitration, a fundamental process in organic synthesis, has undergone significant evolution since the 19th century. While electrophilic nitration dominates historically, recent decades have seen a focus on new reagents and their reactivity modes for achieving mild and robust synthesis of nitro compounds.

The use of real space functions and molecular graphs has pushed some chemists to wonder: Are interactions between negatively charged oxygen atoms possible? In this contribution we analyze whether there is a real interaction between oxygen atoms in nitryl halide dimers (XNO ) (X=F, Cl, Br and I) and in tetranitromethane and derivatives. Based on ab-initio and density functional theories (DFT) methods, we show these complexes are weakly stabilized. Energy decomposition analyses based on local molecular orbitals (LMOEDA) and interacting quantum atoms (IQA) reveal both dispersion and exchange play a crucial role in the stabilization of these complexes.

A master equation (ME) analysis of available experimental data has been carried out on the reaction HO + NO + M ⇋ HONO + M (1a)/(-1a). The analysis, based on the ME code MESMER, uses both the association and dissociation kinetic data from the literature, and provides improved thermochemistry on reaction 1a. Our preferred model assigns two low-frequency vibrations of HONO as hindered rotors and couples these to the external rotations.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the solvent extraction and complexing ability of tetradentate N-donor ligands, specifically a compound called CyMe4-BT-Phen and its derivatives, including Br, hydroxyphenyl, and nitryl.
- The ligands were found to selectively extract americium (Am(III)) over europium (Eu(III)), with the derivative 5-nitryl-CyMe4-BTPhen showing significantly lower efficiency for Eu(III) compared to CyMe4-BTPhen.
- The researchers also analyzed how different substituents affect the ligands' affinity for lanthanides using UV/vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, determining stability constants and basicity,

Energetic materials such as 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (RDX) are known to photodissociate when exposed to UV light. However, the fundamental photochemical process(es) that initiate the decomposition of RDX is (are) still debatable. In this study we investigate the photodissociation of solid-phase RDX at four distinct UV wavelengths (254 nm (4.
