The reaction of the singlet biradical [P(μ-NTer)] with various aldehydes selectively yielded the corresponding [2.1.1]-bicyclic addition products in a very fast reaction. All products were fully characterized, including by NMR and vibrational spectroscopy as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The mechanism of the addition was investigated theoretically using high-level methods (CCSD(T) with triple- and quadruple-zeta basis sets) and corresponds to a concerted cycloaddition reaction with a very low activation barrier. For comparison, the mechanisms of the literature-known cycloadditions of H, alkenes, and alkynes were also studied, indicating a similar reaction profile for all unsaturated reactants.

Although nitrene chemistry is promising for the light-induced modification of organic compounds, the reactivity of large polycyclic aromatic compounds and the effects of their curvature remain unexplored. Irradiation of azidocorannulene () in methanol/acetonitrile followed by HCl addition produced diastereomers and . Azirine is apparently trapped by methanol to form diastereomeric acetal derivatives that are hydrolyzed with HCl to yield and '.

The integration of deep neural networks with the variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method has marked a substantial advancement in solving the Schrödinger equation. In this work we enforce spin symmetry in the neural-network-based VMC calculation using a modified optimization target. Our method is designed to solve for the ground state and multiple excited states with target spin symmetry at a low computational cost.

We propose a novel approach to electron correlation for multireference systems. It is based on particle-hole (ph) and particle-particle (pp) theories in the second-order, developed in the random phase approximation (RPA) framework for multireference wave functions. We show a formal correspondence (duality), between contributions to the correlation energy in the ph and pp pictures.

Article Synopsis
- Nitric oxide (•NO) plays a crucial role in biological processes, including enhancing DNA sensitivity to radiation by interacting with guanine radical cations, which are damaged forms of DNA.
- The study investigated the reactions between •NO and both unsubstituted guanine and a model compound, 9-methylguanine, using advanced techniques to analyze product ions and the reaction mechanisms.
- Findings revealed that the main product formed in these reactions is a stable closed-shell singlet ion, while other potential products were not detected due to their instability and high energy requirements.

Organic π-conjugated polycyclic hydrocarbons (PHs) with an open-shell diradical character are attracting increasing interest due to their promising applications in organic electronics and spintronics. However, most of the open-shell PHs synthesized thus far are based on planar π-conjugated molecules. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of two new quinodimethane-embedded expanded helicenes H1 and H2.
