The adsorption of the radical α,ɣ-bisdiphenylene-β-phenylallyl (BDPA) molecule to the Cu(100) surface was studied using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), scanning tunnelling spectroscopy (STS), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations accounting for dispersion forces. BDPA on Cu(100) was observed to align preferentially along directions due to weak Cu-C chemisorption between fluorenyl carbons with the underlying copper atoms. The curved shape of the BDPA molecule on Cu(100) can be ascribed to the lack of molecular orbital character on the phenyl substituent. A Kondo-like feature from differential conductance (dI/dV) measurements centered close to the Fermi energy ( ) suggests the retention of an electron spin-1/2 state, which is corroborated by hybrid DFT calculations that place the SOMO (singly occupied molecular orbital) below and SUMO (singly unoccupied molecular orbital) above for BDPA adsorbed to Cu(100).

Decoupled peak property learning for efficient and interpretable electronic circular dichroism spectrum prediction.

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.

Complexing medications with cyclodextrins can enhance their solubility and stability. In this study, we investigated the host-guest complexation between Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) and Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP-D3/TPZ level of theory in two possible orientations. To determine the reactive sites in both complexes for electrophilic and nucleophilic attacks, we calculated and interpreted the binding energy, HOMO and LUMO orbitals, global chemical reactivity descriptors, natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, and Fukui indices.

The phase estimation algorithm is crucial for computing the ground-state energy of a molecular electronic Hamiltonian on a quantum computer. Its efficiency depends on the overlap between the Hamiltonian's ground state and an initial state, which tends to decay exponentially with system size. We showcase a practical orbital optimization scheme to alleviate this issue.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the development of new thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials that enhance reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) to prevent triplet-triplet annihilation.
- Five derivative molecules with different bridging atoms/groups were analyzed using computational modeling to understand their excited state behaviors in toluene.
- A unique RISC mechanism was observed, predominantly involving T states instead of the usual transitions, which has implications for designing more efficient TADF compounds.
Optimization of nonlinear properties of COLi-doped alkalides group I/III doping for unprecedented charge transfer and advancements in optoelectronics.

The design and synthesis of nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are rapidly growing fields in optoelectronics. Considering the high demand for newly designed materials with superior optoelectronic characteristics, we investigated the doping process of Group-IIIA elements (namely, B, Al and Ga) onto alkali metal (AM = Li, Na and K)-supported COLi (AM@COLi) complexes to enhance their NLO response. The AM-COLi complexes retained their structural features following interaction with the Group-IIIA elements.
