Published: August 2024

Group 14 MH isomers (M = Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb) have attracted interest due to their radically differing electronic structures from acetylene. To better understand the Sn-H interactions of the neutral and cationic SnH structures, we present the most rigorous study of these systems to date. CCSD(T)/cc-pwCVTZ harmonic frequencies are presented as the first predictions for the neutral and cationic species to date. CCSDT(Q)/CBS relative energies are reported using the focal point approach, confirming the butterfly isomer as the global minimum on the potential energy surface for both the neutral and cationic species. In all, there exist 7 minima and 15 transition states. NBO analysis is also performed to elucidate the changes in bond order going from neutral to cation across all isomers of SnH. Our results provide insights into the important Sn-H interaction and provide guidance for future work that may detect in the laboratory for the first time.

Adding colour to ion-selective membranes.

An idea of using ion-exchanger salt containing optically active cations to prepare ion-selective membranes is proposed. Although the presence of an ion-exchanger in the composition of neutral ionophore based sensors is necessary, the choice of available salts for cation-selective sensors preparation, is usually limited to sodium or potassium compounds. In this work we propose application of an alternative salt, using a cation optically active both in absorption and emission mode as a mobile one.

Electronic address:

The volcanic soils in Chile, where a significant portion of agricultural activities take place, are impacted by the presence of veterinary drugs, including sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The study examines how different soil types influence the movement and retention of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) across four regions of Chile, focusing on conditions at a neutral pH of 7.0.

Extending the MST Model to Large Biomolecular Systems: Parametrization of the ddCOSMO-MST Continuum Solvation Model.

J Comput Chem

Continuum solvation models such as the polarizable continuum model and the conductor-like screening model are widely used in quantum chemistry, but their application to large biosystems is hampered by their computational cost. Here, we report the parametrization of the Miertus-Scrocco-Tomasi (MST) model for the prediction of hydration free energies of neutral and ionic molecules based on the domain decomposition formulation of COSMO (ddCOSMO), which allows a drastic reduction of the computational cost by several orders of magnitude. We also introduce several novelties in MST, like a new definition of atom types based on hybridization and an automatic setup of the cavity for charged regions.

Background: Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a highly versatile separation technique widely used in analytical chemistry. Traditionally, CE can be categorized as either aqueous or non-aqueous systems based on the buffer solvents employed. For decades, non-aqueous CE has been predominantly associated with the use of organic solvents, a perception deeply ingrained in the scientific community.

C-H activation is the most direct way of functionalizing organic molecules. Many advances in this field still require specific directing groups to achieve the necessary activity and selectivity. Developing C-H activation reactions directed by native functional groups is essential for their broad application in synthesis.
