The conformational and IR and Raman spectral studies of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole have been carried out by using the DFT method at the B3LYP/6-311++G(**) level. The detailed vibrational assignments have been done on the basis of calculated potential energy distributions. Comparative studies of molecular geometries, atomic charges and vibrational fundamentals of all the conformers have been made. There are four possible conformers for this molecule. The optimized geometrical parameters obtained by B3LYP/6-311++G(**) method showed good agreement with the experimental X-ray data. The atomic polar tensor (APT) charges, Mulliken atomic charges, natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis and HOMO-LUMO energy gap of HBT and its conformers were also computed.

The emergence of spinon quasiparticles, which carry spin but lack charge, is a hallmark of collective quantum phenomena in low-dimensional quantum spin systems. While the existence of spinons has been demonstrated through scattering spectroscopy in ensemble samples, real-space imaging of these quasiparticles within individual spin chains has remained elusive. In this study, we construct individual Heisenberg antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 chains using open-shell [2]triangulene molecules as building blocks.

Hydrogen production via water-splitting or ammonia electrolysis using transition metal-based electrodes is one of the most cost-effective approaches. Herein, ca. 1-4% of Pt atoms are stuffed into a wolframite-type NiWO lattice to improve the electrocatalytic efficiency.

After cyclo-pentazolate anion, a 5/6 fused structure of N is constructed, and four novel nitrogen-rich ionic compounds are assembled on its basis. The results of the quantum calculations revealed an uneven distribution of electrons on cyclo-N , with significant charge density near the N5/N9 atoms and an ADCH charge of -0.425.

We present an approach to reduce this computational cost substantially, based on the partitioning of the molecule into geometrically separated torsional groups, with the dependence of the intramolecular energy and atomic point charges and dependent degrees of freedom on molecular conformation being computed as a linear combination of the contributions of these groups. This can lead to large savings in computational cost without a significant impact on accuracy, as demonstrated in the cases of N-acetyl-para-aminophenol (paracetamol) and methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (methyl paraben). The approach is also applied successfully to two larger molecules, benzyl [4-(4-methyl-5-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)phenyl]carbamate (molecule XX from the fifth CSP blind test) and (2S)-2-[4-(3-fluorobenzyloxy)benzylamino]propionamide (safinamide), for which we conduct the first reported CSP study.

Achieving stable Zn anodes is essential for advancing high-performance Zn metal batteries. Here, we propose a Sabatier principle inspired bifunctional transition-metal (TM) interface to enable homogeneous Zn dissolution during discharging and dendrite-free Zn deposition during charging. Among various TM-coated Zn (TM@Zn) electrodes, Cu@Zn exhibits the highest reversibility and structural stability, attributed to the optimal interaction between Cu and Zn.
