The convergent close-coupling method has been used to solve the electron-hydrogen molecule scattering problem in the fixed-nuclei approximation. Excellent agreement with experiment is found for the grand total, elastic, electronic-excitation, and total ionization cross sections from the very low to the very high energies. This shows that for the electronic degrees of freedom the method provides a complete treatment of electron scattering on molecules as it does for atoms.

In this work, the p values of 69 polar alkanes (YH) in acetonitrile were computed using the method developed by Luo and Zhang in 2020, and representative 69 thermodynamic network cards on 22 elementary steps of YH and related polar alkenes (Y) releasing or accepting H were naturally established. Potential electron reductants (YH), hydride reductants (YH), antioxidants (YH and YH), and hydrogen molecule reductants (YH) are unexpectedly discovered according to thermodynamic network cards. It is also found that there are great differences between YH and common hydrogen molecule reductants (XH), such as Hantzsch ester (HEH), benzothiazoline (BTH), and dihydro-phenanthridine (PH), releasing two hydrogen ions to unsaturated compounds.

Curcumin, a polyphenolic natural product, exhibits therapeutic activity against a number of diseases, attributed mainly to its chemical structure and unique physical, chemical, and biological properties. It is a diferuloyl methane molecule [1,7-bis (4-hydroxy-3- methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione)] containing two ferulic acid residues joined by a methylene bridge. It has three important functionalities: an aromatic o-methoxy phenolic group, α, β-unsaturated β-diketo moiety and a seven carbon linker.
