The static second hyperpolarizability γ of the complexes composed of open-shell singlet 1,3-dipole molecule involving a boron atom and a water molecule in aqueous phase are investigated by the finite-field (FF) method combined with a standard polarized continuum model (PCM) and with a newly proposed unbiased PCM (UBPCM). On the basis of the comparison with the results calculated by the FF method using the full quantum and the quantum-mechanical/molecular-mechanical and molecular-dynamics (QM/MM-MD) treatments, the present FF-UBPCM method is demonstrated to remedy the artificial overestimation of the γ caused by standard FF-PCM calculations and to well reproduce the FF-QM/MM-MD and FF-full-QM results with much lower costs.

Water-in-salt electrolytes with a surprisingly large electrochemical stability window of ≤3 V have revived interest in aqueous electrolytes for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. However, recent reports of acidic pH measured in concentrated electrolyte solutions appear to be in contradiction with the suppressed activity of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Therefore, the fundamental thermodynamics of proton reactivity in concentrated electrolyte solutions remains elusive.

For the interpretation of spectra of magnetic stellar objects such as magnetic white dwarfs (WDs), highly accurate quantum chemical predictions for atoms and molecules in finite magnetic field are required. Especially the accurate description of electronically excited states and their properties requires established methods such as those from coupled-cluster (CC) theory. However, respective calculations are computationally challenging even for medium-sized systems.

Porphyrin complexes are of great importance due to their possible applications as sensors, solar cells and photocatalysts, as well as their ability to bind additional ligands. A valuable source of knowledge on their nature is their electric properties, which can be evaluated employing density functional theory (DFT) methods, supporting the experimental research. The present work aims at the application of small property-oriented basis sets in calculation of electric properties in transition metals, their oxides and test coordination complexes.

Given positive integers and a finite field , a set is (, )- if every -dimensional affine subspace contains at most elements of . By a simple averaging argument, the maximum size of a (, )-subspace evasive set is at most . When and are fixed, and is sufficiently large, the matching lower bound is proved by Dvir and Lovett.

We have studied polarized Au(100) and Au(111) electrodes immersed in electrolyte solution by implementing finite-field methods in density functional theory-based molecular dynamics simulations. This allows us to directly compute the Helmholtz capacitance of electric double layer by including both electronic and ionic degrees of freedom, and the results turn out to be in excellent agreement with experiments. It is found that the electronic response of Au electrode makes a crucial contribution to the high Helmholtz capacitance and the instantaneous adsorption of Cl can lead to a charge inversion on the anodic polarized Au(100) surface.
