Using a materials genome approach on the basis of density functional theory, we have formulated a new class of inorganic electrolytes for the fast diffusion of Li+ ions by fine-tuning the lattice chemistry of anti-perovskite structures.

Basic Physics

In calculating band structure, the local density approximation and density functional theory are widely popular and do reproduce a lot of the basic physics. Regrettably, without some fine tuning, the local density approximation and density functional theory do not generally get the details of the experimental band structure correct, in particular the band gap in semiconductors and insulators is generally found to be too small when compared with experiment. For experimentalists using commercial packages to calculate the electronic structure of materials, some caution is indicated, as some long-standing problems exist with the local density approximation and density functional theory.

A new class of axial-chiral biisoquinoline N,N′-dioxides was evaluated as catalysts for the enantioselective hydrosilylation of acyl hydrazones with trichlorosilane. While these catalysts provided poor to moderate reactivity and enantioselectivity, this study represents the first example of the organocatalytic asymmetric reduction of acyl hydrazones. In addition, the structures and energies of two possible diastereomeric catalyst–trichlorosilane complexes (2a–HSiCl3) were analyzed using density functional theory calculations.
