<div>The decomposition of the reaction force based on symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) has been proposed. This approach was used to investigate the subtituent effects along the reaction coordinate pathway for the hemiacetal formation mechanism between methanol and substituted aldehydes of the form CX<sub>3</sub>CHO (X = H, F, Cl, and Br), providing a quantitative evaluation of the reaction-driving and reaction-retarding force components. Our results highlight the importance of more favorable electrostatic and induction effects in the reactions involving halogenated aldehydes that leads to lower activation energy barriers. These substituent effects are further elucidated by applying the functional-group partition of symmetry-adapted</div><div>perturbation theory (F-SAPT). The results show that the reaction is largely driven by favorable direct non-covalent interactions between the CX<sub>3</sub> group on the aldehyde and the OH group on methanol.</div>

Cis-21,23-dithiaporphyrin building block containing one iodophenyl and one pyridyl functional group at meso positions was synthesized by condensing unsymmetrical thiophene diol and symmetrical 16-thiatripyrrin under refluxing propionic acid conditions. The 21,23-dithiaporphyrin building block was coupled with mono-functionalized 21-thiaporphyrin building block containing meso-phenylethyne functional group under mild Pd (0) coupling conditions. The steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence studies support an efficient energy transfer in the singlet excited state from N 3 S porphyrin subunit to N 2 S 2 porphyrin subunit in the dyad. The N 3 S - N 2 S 2 porphyrin dyad was then treated with RuTPP ( CO )( EtOH ) in toluene at refluxing temperature and purified by column chromatography to afford a porphyrin triad containing N 3 S , N 2 S 2 and RuN 4 porphyrin subunits assembled using both covalent and non-covalent interactions. The photophysical properties showed the fluorescence quenching of N 3 S and N 2 S 2 porphyrin subunits in triad due to heavy ruthenium ion which was coordinated to meso-pyridyl ' N ' of N 2 S 2 porphyrin subunit of porphyrin triad.

The crystal structures of four bromoarenes based on 2,6-dimethylbromobenzene are reported, which are differentiated according the functional groupXplacedparato the Br atom:X= CN (4-bromo-3,5-dimethylbenzonitrile, C9H8BrN), (1),X= NO2(2-bromo-1,3-dimethyl-5-nitrobenzene, C8H8BrNO2), (2),X= NH2(4-bromo-3,5-dimethylaniline, C8H10BrN), (3) andX= OH (4-bromo-3,5-dimethylphenol, C8H9BrO), (4). The content of the asymmetric unit is different in each crystal,Z′ = ½ (X= CN),Z′ = 1 (X= NO2),Z′ = 2 (X= NH2), andZ′ = 4 (X= OH), and is related to the molecular symmetry and the propensity ofXto be involved in hydrogen bonding. In none of the studied compounds does the crystal structure feature other non-covalent interactions, such as π–π, C—H...π or C—Br...Br contacts.
