We have performed ab initio discrete variational Xα calculations on a Cs18[Mo(NCS)6]15+ cluster, with the external electric field appropriate for a Cs3Mo(NCS)6 crystal. The calculations show both σ and π bonding, and also the participation of diffuse molybdenum- centred orbitals . Compared with the charge density experiment these effects are qualitatively correct but are underestimated. We performed further calculations successively removing the external electric field and the 18 Cs+ neighbours . The effects on the calculated metal- ligand bonding in the complex ion are negligible. This is not in agreement with experiment, so that these calculations which invoke only electrostatic effects and orthogonality with neighbouring ions and which also use only simple basis sets are not adequate. Further calculations on the Cr(NCS)63- and W(NCS)63- ions show increasing covalence from chromium to tungsten as expected. The spin transfer to the ligand is calculated to triple, but charge transfer is almost constant.

Background: Boron Nitride Nanotubes (BNNTs) have recently emerged as an interesting field of study, because they could be used for the realization of developed, integrated and compact nanostructures to be formulated. BNNTs with similar surface morphology, alternating B and N atoms completely substitute for C atoms in a graphitic-like sheet with nearly no alterations in atomic spacing, with uniformity in dispersion in the solution, and readily applicable in biomedical applications with no obvious toxicity. Also demonstrating a good cell interaction and cell targeting. Aim and Objective: With a purpose of increasing the field of BNNT for drug delivery, a theoretical investigation of the interaction of Melatonin, Vitamin C, Glutathione and lipoic acid antioxidants using (9, 0) zigzag BNNTs is shown using density functional theory. Methods: The geometries corresponding to Melatonin, Vitamin C, Glutathione and lipoic acid and BNNT with different lengths were individually optimized with the DMOL3 program at the LDA/ DNP (fine) level of theory. Results: In the presence of external electric field Melatonin, Vitamin C, Glutathione and lipoic acid could be absorbed considerably on BNNT with lengths 22 and 29 Å, as the adsorption energy values in the presence of external electric field are considerably increased. Conclusion: The external electric field is an appropriate technique for adsorbing and storing antioxidants on BNNTs. Moreover, it is believed that applying the external electric field may be a proper method for controlling release rate of drugs.
