Nanocluster based drug delivery systems are very useful in modern medical treatment and interaction mechanism of desflurane (DES), isoflurane ISO), sevoflurane (SEV) over carboxyl substituted graphene-doped with O and S atoms were investigated in the present study. Different electronic and chemical properties of adsorbed desflurane, isoflurane and sevoflurane with nanoclusters are analyzed. To track the drugs, SERS is used as an efficient method and drug's detection was analyzed using SERS. DES's energy over GQD-S is greater than that over GQD-O nanocluster and for ISO and SEV, adsorption energies over the O/S nanoclusters are same. The title drugs work on the reactives sites and got adsorbed. For ISO, there is an increase in fluorine atom charges and for DES and SEV, the fluorine atom charge decreases due to adsorption in both O/S nanoclusters. Changes in chemical descriptors are identified for the sensing property of drug-nanoclusters.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Recycling CO back to fuels offers an ideal solution to control anthropogenic global CO emissions as well as providing a sustainable green solution to alternative energy resources from a cheap and earth-abundant carbon source. Size-selected nanoclusters open a novel area in catalysis as these atomically precise nanoclusters possess unique electronic and catalytic properties different from larger nanoparticles and traditional bulk catalysts. In this work, we have investigated the ability of first-row transition metal nanoclusters (Sc-Cu) of varying sizes (3 to 10 atoms) for CO electroreduction (CORR).

The doping site of metals in an alloy nanocluster plays a key role in determining the cluster properties. Herein, we found that alloying engineering was achieved by replacing Cu at specific positions in the second layer Cu shell of the [Au18Cu32(SR-O)36]2- or [Au18Cu32(SR-F)36]3- (SR-O = -S-PhOMe; SR-F = -SCHF) nanocluster with Au to generate a core-shell [Au20.31Cu29.

Future diagnostics and therapy applications are in part riding on the discovery and implementation of new optical techniques and strategies (which often derive from dyads) for example, prediction of features in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy requires the study of chromophore-chromophore interactions involve intermolecular forces, drug delivery, and photo mechanisms which are of great interest. New matches between chromophore systems (i.e.

Small iridium nanoclusters are prominent subnanometric systems for catalysis-related applications, mainly because of a large surface-to-volume ratio, noncoalescence feature, and tunable properties, which are completely influenced by the number of atoms, geometry, and molecular interaction with the chemical environment. Herein, we investigate the interaction between Ir nanoclusters ( = 2-7) and polluting molecules, CO, NO, and SO, using van der Waals D3 corrected density functional theory calculations. Starting from a representative structural set, we determine the growth pattern of the lowest energy unprotected Ir nanoclusters, which is based on open structural motifs, and from the adsorption of a XO (X = C, N, and S) molecule, the preferred high-symmetric adsorption sites were determined, dominated by the onefold top site.
