In the present work, we carried out a conformational analysis of cis-3-aminoindan-1-ol and evaluated the role of the intramolecular hydrogen bond in the stabilization of various conformers using quantum mechanical DFT (B3LYP) and MP2 methods. On the basis of relative energies, we have found nine conformational minima, which can interchange through the ring-puckering and the internal rotation of the OH and NH2 groups on the five-membered ring. The intramolecular hydrogen bonds such as OH∙∙∙∙π, NH∙∙∙∙π, NH∙∙∙∙OH and HN∙∙∙∙HO are expected to be of critical importance for the conformational stabilities. The intramolecular interactions of the minima have been analyzed by calculation of electron density (ρ) and Laplacian (ρ) at the bond critical points (BCPs) using atoms-in-molecule (AIM) theory. The existence or absence of OH∙∙∙∙π and NH∙∙∙∙π in cis-3-aminoindan-1-ol remains unclear since the geometrical investigation has not been confirmed by topological criteria. The results of theoretical calculations demonstrate that this compound exists predominantly in one ring-puckering form stabilized by strong hydrogen bond HN∙∙∙∙HO Interaction.

Monomer insertion, leading to the formation of an activated monomer complex, is a critical step in cationic ring-opening polymerization (CROP) of cyclic monomers, such as ε-caprolactone (CL). In this study, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were employed to investigate the structural and electronic properties of four activated complexes at two Zr:B ratios (1:2 and 1:1), where Zr is the cationic zirconocene catalyst, Cp₂ZrMe⁺, and B is the borate cocatalyst, [MeB(CF)] or [B(CF)]. Steric hindrance at the reactive site was analyzed using topographic steric maps, while inter- and intramolecular interactions of the complex systems were examined through the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) and non-covalent interaction (NCI) analyses.

The assessment of copper(I) and hydrogen interactions is challenging and should be approached with caution. In this paper, we report an assessment of multiple copper(I) and hydrogen interactions in two unique copper(I) thione cages. Copper(I) -heterocyclic thione cages [{Cu(-Br)(-L1)}] (1) and [{Cu(-I)(-L1)}] (2) were synthesized and characterized with proximity enforced Cu⋯H interactions.

Aminophosphates are the focus of research on prebiotic phosphorylation chemistry. Their bifunctional nature also makes them a powerful class of organocatalysts. However, the structural chemistry and dynamics of proton-binding in phosphorylation and organocatalytic mechanisms are still not fully understood.

The final outcomes of supramolecular assembly are determined by the pathways and the formation of intermediates during the assembly process. We studied pathway complexity involving two consecutive pathways in supramolecular polymerization of naphthalene-diimide (NDI) derivative molecule. Depending on preparation methods anisotropic aggregates of J-type nanorods (Agg I) or more flexible H-type nanofibers (Agg II) are obtained from the identical initial state in solution of methyl cyclohexane (MCH) or MCH/CHCl3 mixtures.

Multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials possess unique advantages of high-efficiency and narrowband emission, which have rapidly occupied an important position in the field of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In recent years, significant advancements have been made in the development of MR-TADF materials, particularly in achieving spectral narrowing for high-color-purity OLED applications. Based on diverse MR-TADF molecular skeletons, this review summarizes the primary molecular strategies to narrow spectrum by suppressing structural relaxation and intermolecular interactions.
