Reaction of [CuH(PPh)] with 1 equiv. of Tl(OTf) results in formation of [CuTlH(PPh)][OTf] ([1]OTf]), which can be isolated in good yields. Variable-temperature H NMR spectroscopy, in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, confirms the presence of a rare Tl-H orbital interaction. According to DFT, the H chemical shift of the Tl-adjacent hydride ligands of [1] includes 7.7 ppm of deshielding due to spin-orbit effects from the heavy Tl atom. This study provides valuable new insights into a rare class of metal hydrides, given that [1][OTf] is only the third isolable species reported to contain a Tl-H interaction.

High-level multireference configuration interaction plus Davidson correction (MRCI + Q) calculation method was employed to determine the potential energy curves (PECs) of 10 Λ-S states, which come from the first and second dissociation channels of the SbP molecule, as well as 34 Ω states considering the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effect. By solving the Schrödinger equation for nuclear motion, spectroscopic constants for the ground state XΣ and low-lying excited states were obtained and compared with experimental data. The excellent agreement indicates the reliability of our calculations.

This study investigates the impact of structural isomerism on the excited state lifetime and redox energetics of heteroleptic [Ir(ppy)2(bpy)]+ and homoleptic Ir(ppy)3 photoredox catalysts using ground-state and time-dependent density functional theory methods. While the ground- and excited-state reduction potentials differ only slightly among the isomers of these complexes, our findings reveal significant variations in the radiative and non-radiative decay rates of the reactivity-controlling triplet 3MLCT states of these closely related species. The observed differences in radiative decay rates could be traced back to variations in the transition dipole moment, vertical energy gaps, and spin-orbit coupling of the isomers.

Realizing field-free switching of perpendicular magnetization by spin-orbit torques is crucial for developing advanced magnetic memory and logic devices. However, existing methods often involve complex designs or hybrid approaches, which complicate fabrication and affect device stability and scalability. Here, we propose a novel approach using -polarized spin currents for deterministic switching of perpendicular magnetization through interfacial engineering.

Various electronically excited states and the feasibility of direct laser cooling of SH, SeH, and TeH are investigated using the highly accurate ab initio and dynamical methods. For the detailed calculations of the seven low-lying Λ-S states of SH, we utilized the internally contracted multireference configuration interaction approach, considering the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects. Our calculated spectroscopic constants are in very good agreement with the available experimental results.

Transition metal carbonyl and transition metal dinitrogen are fundamental chemical complexes in many important biological and catalytic processes. Interestingly, binding between a transition metal (TM) atom and carbonyl or dinitrogen results in spin state change. However, no study has evaluated the spin-orbit (SO) effect along the association pathway of any TM-CO or TM-N bond.
