Local stretching force constants derived from periodic local vibrational modes at the vdW-DF2 density functional level have been employed to quantify the intrinsic hydrogen bond strength of 16 ice polymorphs, ices I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XVII, and XIX, that are stable under ambient to elevated pressures. Based on this characterization on 1820 hydrogen bonds, relationships between local stretching force constants and structural parameters such as hydrogen bond length and angle were identified. Moreover, different bond strength distributions, from uniform to inhomogeneous, were observed for the 16 ices and could be explained in relation to different local structural elements within ices, that is, rings, that consist of different hydrogen bond types. In addition, criteria for the classification of hydrogen bonds as strong, intermediate, and weak were introduced. The latter was used to explore a different dimension of the water-ice phase diagram. These findings will provide important guidelines for assessing the credibility of new ice structures.

Radical-mediated dearomatization strategies offer a blueprint for building value-added and synthetically valuable three-dimensional skeletons from readily available aromatic starting materials. Herein, we report a novel strategy by leveraging benzene-linked O-oxime esters as triply functionalized precursors to form two distinct persistent radicals under a chemodivergent pathway. These radicals then couple with a cyclohexadienyl radical for either carboamination or carbo-aminoalkylation.

Ionic gels (IGs), ionic liquids (ILs) dispersed in polymers, exhibit extremely low vapor pressure, electrochemical and thermal stability, and excellent mechanical characteristics; therefore, they are used for fabricating stretchable sensors, electrochemical transistors, and energy storage devices. Although such characteristics are promising for flexible and stretchable electronics, the mechanical stress-induced ruptured covalent bonds forming polymer networks cannot recover owing to the irreversible interaction between the bonds. Physical cross-linking via noncovalent bonds enables the interaction of polymers and ILs to form supramolecular IGs (SIGs), which exhibit favorable characteristics for wearable devices that conventional IGs with noncovalent bonds cannot achieve.

Carbonless DNA was designed by replacing all carbon atoms in the standard DNA building blocks with boron and nitrogen, ensuring isoelectronicity. Electronic structure quantum chemistry methods (DFT(ωB97XD)/aug-cc-pVDZ) were employed to study both the individual building blocks and the larger carbon-free DNA fragments. The reliability of the results was validated by comparing selected structures and binding energies using more accurate methods such as MP2, CCSD, and SAPT2+3(CCD)δ.

We studied the vibrational coherences during the ultrafast internal conversions (ICs) of pyrimidine nucleobases and -sides in aqueous solutions and the gas phase with an instrumental resolution of 14 fs. The coherence of the same ring-breathing vibrational mode with a frequency of 750 cm was observed. In the gas phase, the vibrational coherence was transferred during IC from the ππ* to the nπ* state, and it survived for approximately 1 ps.
