A conceptual DFT study of the dissociation of anionic and neutral phosphonate dimers has been carried out. In addition, the dianion complexes have been studied in the presence of two solvents, water and tetrahydrofuran. The dissociation of the dianion complexes in the gas phase and in solution present a maximum along the reaction coordinate that is not present in the neutral-neutral and anion-neutral complexes. The principal chemical descriptors (chemical potential, reaction electronic flux, hardness, and global electrophilicity index) do not show changes in their trends along the dissociation profiles even when there is an energy maximum in the case of the anion-anion complexes.

Context: This research investigates two critical areas, providing valuable insights into the properties and interactions of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). Initially, a variety of BNNT structures (BNNT(m,n)_x, where m = 3, 5, 7; n = 0, 3, 5, 7; x = 3-9) with different lengths and diameters are explored to understand their electronic properties. The study then examines the interactions between these nanotubes and several gases (CO, CO, CSO, HO, NO, NO, NO, O, ONH, and SO) to identify the most stable molecular configurations using the bee colony algorithm for global optimization.

Article Synopsis
- The study uses density functional theory (DFT) to examine how low oxygen vacancy formation energy affects the catalytic performance of chemical looping dry reforming of methane (CL-DRM) when metal ions Zn and Nd are co-substituted on CeO(111) surfaces.
- Results show that the co-substituted surfaces have a very low oxygen vacancy formation energy (-2.05 eV), enhancing the CH conversion process compared to pristine surfaces, with the rate-limiting step being the dehydrogenation of CH.
- However, while the co-substituted surfaces promote better reaction performance, high energy is required for syngas desorption and CO selectivity is reduced, indicating a balance is needed to prevent excessive

Metal complexes with -Bu-substituted allyl ligands are relatively rare, especially compared to their conceptually similar trimethylsilyl-substituted analogs. The scarcity partially stems from the few general synthetic entry points for the -Bu versions. This situation was studied through a modified synthesis for the allyl ligand itself and by forming several mono(allyl)nickel derivatives.

It is a challenging task to develop uranyl-chelating agents based on peptide chemistry. A recently developed cationic dummy atom model of uranyl in conjunction with the classical molecular dynamics simulation presents a helpful utility to study the chelation of uranyl by peptides with a low computational cost. In the present study, it was used to describe the chelation of uranyl by the cyclic decapeptide with 4 Glu residues cyc-GluArgGluProGlyGluTrpGluProGly and its derivatives containing two phosphorylated serines in place of two Glu, termed pS16, pS18, pS38, and pS68.
