The molecular structures of two dysprosium complexes of donor-functionalized pentadienyl ligands are described. Electronic structure calculations reveal that the W-shaped pentadienyl ligand strongly influences the orientation of the main magnetic axis of the ground Kramers doublets in both complexes.

Ab initiocalculations have been performed on titanate pyrochlores A2Ti2O7(A = Dy, Ho, and Y) to investigate their electronic structures. The generalized gradient approximation (GGA) +Uformalism has been used to correct the strong onsite Coulomb repulsion between the localized 4f electrons. The effects of effectiveUvalues on the structural and electronic properties of A2Ti2O7(A = Dy, Ho, and Y) have been discussed. It is shown that Dy2Ti2O7and Ho2Ti2O7exhibit different electronic structures from Y2Ti2O7. The strong interaction between Dy and Ho 4f electrons and O 2p orbitals may increase the covalency of〈Dy–O〉and〈Ho–O〉bonds and decrease their irradiation resistance.

1,2,3,4-Tetrafluoro-dinaphthothienothiophene (F4DNTT) and 1,2,3,4,8,9,10,11-octafluoro-dinaphthothienothiophene (F8DNTT) were synthesized via bisthiomethyl alkene intermediates which were accessible by McMurry coupling or Wittig olefination of partially fluorinated naphthalene precursors. DFT-based electronic structure calculations, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (NEXAFS) and UV/Vis measurements were used for HOMO/LUMO gap determination and to analyse the electronic structures of the partially fluorinated DNTTs. Reduced exciton binding was observed in thin films

Virtual screenings can accelerate and reduce the cost of discovering metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for their applications in gas storage, separation, and sensing. In molecular simulations of gas adsorption/diffusion in MOFs, the adsorbate-MOF electrostatic interaction is typically modeled by placing partial point charges on the atoms of the MOF. For the virtual screening of large libraries of MOFs, it is critical to develop computationally inexpensive methods to assign atomic partial charges to MOFs that accurately reproduce the electrostatic potential in their pores. Herein, we design and train a message passing neural network (MPNN) to predict the atomic partial charges on MOFs under a charge neutral constraint. A set of ca. 2,250 MOFs labeled with high-fidelity partial charges, derived from periodic electronic structure calculations, serves as training examples. In an end-to-end manner, from charge-labeled crystal graphs representing MOFs, our MPNN machine-learns features of the local bonding environments of the atoms and learns to predict partial atomic charges from these features. Our trained MPNN assigns high-fidelity partial point charges to MOFs with orders of magnitude lower computational cost than electronic structure calculations. To enhance the accuracy of virtual screenings of large libraries of MOFs for their adsorption-based applications, we make our trained MPNN model and MPNN-charge-assigned computation-ready, experimental MOF structures publicly available.<br>
