In classical molecular dynamics, general purpose atomistic force-fields (FFs) often deliver inaccurate results when dealing with halogen bonds (XBs), notwithstanding their crucial role in many fields of science, ranging from material design to drug development. Given the large dimensions of the systems of interest, it would be therefore desirable to increase the FF accuracy maintaining the simplicity of the standard Lennard-Jones (LJ) plus point charge description to avoid an excessive computational cost. A simple yet effective strategy consists in introducing a number of virtual sites able to mimic the so-called "explicit σ-hole.

Phototoxic effects of 6,8 dihalogenated quinolones confers to this type of molecules a potential property as photochemotherapeutic agents. Two photodehalogenation processes seem to be involved in the remarkable photoinduced cellular damage. In this context, a new 6,8 dihalogenated quinolone 1 (1-methyl-6,8-difluoro-4-oxo-7-aminodimethyl-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid) was synthetized looking for improving the phototoxic properties of fluoroquinolones (FQ) and to determine the role of the photodegradation pathways in the FQ phototoxicity.

Three dihalogenated methane derivatives (CHF, CHFCl, and CHCl) were used as model systems to compare and assess the accuracy of two different approaches for predicting observed fundamental frequencies: canonical operator Van Vleck vibrational perturbation theory (CVPT) and vibrational configuration interaction (VCI). For convenience and consistency, both methods employ the Watson Hamiltonian in rectilinear normal coordinates, expanding the potential energy surface (PES) as a Taylor series about equilibrium and constructing the wavefunction from a harmonic oscillator product basis. At the highest levels of theory considered here, fourth-order CVPT and VCI in a harmonic oscillator basis with up to 10 quanta of vibrational excitation in conjunction with a 4-mode representation sextic force field (SFF-4MR) computed at MP2/cc-pVTZ with replacement CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVQZ harmonic force constants, the agreement between computed fundamentals is closer to 0.

A series of palladium(ii) radical carbene complexes, [PC˙(sp)P]PdI, [PC˙(sp)P]PdBr, and [PC˙(sp)P]PdCl (PC(sp)HP = bis[2-(di-iso-propylphosphino)-phenyl]methane), is described. Compound [PC˙(sp)P]PdI dimerizes to {[PC(sp)P]PdI} in the solid state, akin to the formation of Gomberg's dimer. While the bromo and the iodo derivatives could be obtained from the oxidation of [PC(sp)P]Pd(PMe) by the respective dihalogens, a halogen transfer reaction from CHCl was used for the formation of [PC˙(sp)P]PdCl.

The formations of THMs, HAAs, and HNMs from chlorination and chloramination of water from Jinlan Reservoir were investigated in this study. Results showed that monochloramine rather than chlorine generally resulted in lower concentration of DBPs, and the DBPs formation varied greatly as the treatment conditions changed. Specifically, the yields of THMs, HAAs and HNMs all increased with the high bromide level and high disinfectant dose both during chlorination and chloramination.
