Density functional theory (DFT) simulations were conducted to study the crystal structures, and mechanical and electronic properties of a series of new energetic molecular perovskites, including (CHN)[Na(ClO)], (CHN)[K(ClO)], (CHN)[Na(ClO)] and (CHNO)[K(ClO)], abbreviated as DAP-1, DAP-2, PAP-1, and DAP-O2, respectively. By calculating the elastic constants, moduli (Young's modulus , bulk modulus , and shear modulus ), Poisson ratio and Pugh's ratio /, we found that the four energetic molecular perovskites not only possessed good mechanical stability but excellent mechanical flexibility and ductility. In addition, DFT calculations were used to investigate the electronic properties of all of the perovskite compounds. The band gaps of DAP-1 and DAP-2 were comparable, and the band gap of PAP-1 was the smallest and that of DAP-O2 was the largest. A comprehensive analysis of the density of states and the M-O bonding characteristics provided a good explanation for the band gap characteristics. Besides, we found that the modulus properties of these molecular perovskite energetic compounds are also tightly bound to the strength of M-O bonding.

Electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra contain key information about molecular chirality by discriminating the absolute configurations of chiral molecules, which is crucial in asymmetric organic synthesis and the drug industry. However, existing predictive approaches lack the consideration of ECD spectra owing to the data scarcity and the limited interpretability to achieve trustworthy prediction. Here we establish a large-scale dataset for chiral molecular ECD spectra and propose ECDFormer for accurate and interpretable ECD spectrum prediction.

Covalent semiconductors of the carbon nitride family are among the most promising systems to realize "artificial photosynthesis", that is exploiting synthetic materials which use sunlight as an energy source to split water into its elements or converting CO into added value chemicals. However, the role of surface interactions and electronic properties on the reaction mechanism remain still elusive. Here, we use in-situ spectroscopic techniques that enable monitoring surface interactions in carbon nitride under artificial photosynthetic conditions.

Objective: Photopolymerized resin composites are widely used as dental filling materials. However, the shrinkage stress generated during photopolymerization can lead to marginal microcracks and eventual restoration failure. Accurate assessment of the stress evolution in dental restorations, particularly in complex cavity geometries, is critical for improving the performance and longevity of the dental filling materials.
