Low molecular weight organic molecules that can accept multiple electrons at high<br>reduction potentials are sought after as electrode materials for high-energy sustainable batteries. To date their synthesis has been difficult, and organic scaffolds for electron donors significantly outnumber electron acceptors. Herein, we report two highly electron deficient phosphaviologen derivatives from a phosphorus-bridged 4,4-bipyridine and characterize their electrochemical properties. Phosphaviologen sulfide (PVS) and P-methyl phosphaviologen (PVM) accept two and three electrons at high reduction potentials, respectively. PVM can reversibly accept 3 electrons between 3-3.6 V vs. Li/Li+ with an equivalent molecular weight of 102 g/(mol e-) (262 mAh/g), making it a promising scaffold for sustainable organic electrode materials having high specific energy densities.

A computational method was devised to explore the relationship of charge separation, geometry, molecular dipole moment (mu), polarizability (alpha), and hyperpolariz-abilities (beta, gamma) in conjugated organic molecules. We show that bond-length alternation (the average difference in length between single and double bonds in the molecule) is a key structurally observable parameter that can be correlated with hyperpolarizabilities and is thus relevant to the optimization of molecules and materials. By using this method, the relationship of bond-length alternation, mu, alpha, beta, and gamma for linear conjugated molecules is illustrated, and those molecules with maximized alpha, beta, and gamma are described.

Absolute Deviation

Since density functional theory (DFT) achieved a remarkable break-through in computational chemistry, the important general question "How reliable are quantum chemical calculations for spectroscopic properties?" should be answered anew. In this project, the most successful density functionals, namely the Becke B3LYP functionals, and the correlation-consistent polarized valence quadruple zeta basis sets (cc-pvqz) are applied to small molecules. In particular, the complete set of experimentally known diatomic molecules formed by the atoms H to Ar (these are 214 species) is uniformly calculated, and calculated spectroscopic properties are compared with experimental ones. Computationally demanding molecules, such as open-shell systems, anions, or noble gas compounds, are included in this study. Investigated spectroscopic properties are spectroscopic ground state, equilibrium internuclear distance, harmonic vibrational wavenumber, anharmonicity, vibrational absolute absorption intensity, electric dipole moment, ionization potential, and dissociation energy. The same computational method has also been applied to the ground-state geometries of 56 polyatomic molecules up to the size of benzene. Special sections are dedicated to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts and isotropic hyperfine coupling constants. Each set of systems for a chosen property is statistically analyzed, and the above important question "How reliable...?" is mathematically answered by the mean absolute deviation between calculated and experimental data, as well as by the worst agreement. In addition to presentation of numerous quantum chemically calculated spectroscopic properties, a corresponding updated list of references for experimentally determined properties is presented.

Ground State Properties

We report the results from self-consistent calculations of electronic, transport, and bulk properties of beryllium sulfide (BeS) in the zinc-blende phase, and employed an ab-initio local density approximation (LDA) potential and the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO). We obtained the ground state properties of zb-BeS with the Bagayoko, Zhao, and Williams (BZW) computational method, as enhanced by Ekuma and Franklin (BZW-EF). Our findings include the electronic energy bands, the total (DOS) and partial (pDOS) densities of states, electron and hole effective masses, the equilibrium lattice constant, and the bulk modulus. The calculated band structure clearly shows that zb-BeS has an indirect energy band gap of 5.436 eV, from Γ to a point between Γ and X, for an experimental lattice constant of 4.863 Å. This is in excellent agreement with the experiment, unlike the findings of more than 15 previous density functional theory (DFT) calculations that did not perform the generalized minimization of the energy functional, required by the second DFT theorem, which is inherent to the implementation of our BZW-EF method.

ABSTRACTPseudo-two dimensional branched polycarbenes 1, 3, 5-[H(m-C6H4C:)n/3]3C6H3 (2)(n = 6, 9) were prepared. The measurement of their magnetization on a Faraday balance equipped with a light guide has revealed that 2(n = 6) has a tridecet ground state (S = 6.0). The m-phenylene skeleton as a dependable ferromagnetic coupling unit has also been applied with success to the synthesis of persistent systems, i.e., 5, by replacing each carbene center in linear polycarbenes 1 with a nitroxide. A necessary degree of steric protection of the radical centers was disclosed. Extension to real polymers 4 gave an only partly successful result.
