The partial substitution of manganese by lithium and cobalt ions in 16d octahedral sites enhances the electrochemical cyclability of LiMn2O4upon cycling. The improvement in cycling performance is mainly attributed to the suppression of the Jahn–Teller distortion in the spinel structure. The as-doped spinel Mn oxide has been successfully used as cathode material in flat and flexible lithium battery.

The highly efficient OER performance of the ultrathin cobalt hydroxides nanosheets is due to the elongated Co–OOHbonds generated from crystal lattice distortion, which can serve as the efficiently catalytic active sites.

We report a theoretical investigation and elucidation of the x-ray absorption spectra of neutral benzene and of the benzene cation. The generation of the cation by multiphoton ultraviolet (UV) ionization as well as the measurement of<br>the carbon K-edge spectra of both species using a table-top high-harmonic generation (HHG) source are described in the companion experimental paper [M. Epshtein et al., J. Phys.<br>Chem. A., submitted. Available on ChemRxiv]. We show that the 1sC -> pi transition serves as a sensitive signature of the transient cation formation, as it occurs outside of the spectral window of the parent neutral species. Moreover, the presence<br>of the unpaired (spectator) electron in the pi-subshell of the cation and the high symmetry of the system result in significant differences relative to neutral benzene in the spectral features associated with the 1sC ->pi* transitions. High-level calculations using equation-of-motion coupled-cluster theory provide the interpretation of the experimental spectra and insight into the electronic structure of benzene and its cation.<br>The prominent split structure of the 1sC -> pi* band of the cation is attributed to the interplay between the coupling of the core -> pi* excitation with the unpaired electron<br>in the pi-subshell and the Jahn-Teller distortion. The calculations attribute most of<br>the splitting (~1-1.2 eV) to the spin coupling, which is visible already at the Franck-Condon structure, and estimate the additional splitting due to structural relaxation to<br>be around ~0.1-0.2 eV. These results suggest that x-ray absorption with increased resolution might be able to disentangle electronic and structural aspects of the Jahn-Teller<br>effect in benzene cation.<br>

Using semiempirical CNDO-UHF method the adiabatic potential surface of 2[Cu(OH)6]4- complexes is investigated. The values of vibration and vibronic constants for Eg - (a1g + eg) vibronic interaction attain extremal values for the optimal O-H distance. The Jahn-Teller distortion decreases with increasing O-H distance. The discrepancy between experimentally observed elongated bipyramid of [Cu(OH)6]4- in Ba2[Cu(OH)6] and the compressed one obtained by quantum-chemical calculation is explainable by hydrogen bonding of the axial hydroxyl group.

The preliminary study on the electron spin resonance (ESR) for the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system with different superconducting transition temperatures has been made at room temperature. It is found that the Lande factor g-values are increased with increasing zero resistance temperature T c0 but width between peaks ΔH pp of the ESR spectrum decreased with increasing T c0 . These might be attributed to the spin-orbit coupling of the magnetic ions and the Jahn-Teller distortion in the perpendicular component.
