Indium-doped cadmium oxide nanocrystals are examined using experimental and theoretical techniques. Raman, UV–Vis, and XRD facilities are used to examine Indium-doped CdO nanostructures with three doping ratios 2%, 4% and 6% weight percentages. Density functional theory (DFT) is used to check and compare lattice constants, energy gaps, and Raman vibrational properties. The presently suggested cages for the cubic rock-salt structured clusters adopted by CdO are called cuboids. These cuboids are investigated in bare, and hydrogen surface passivated cases. Experimental results of In-doped CdO show an increase of lattice constants and energy gap. The same trend is observed using density functional theory calculations. The experimental longitudinal optical Raman peak at 556[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] encounters blue shifting to 561.5 [Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] at 6% weight percentages In doping. This result is in the same trend using DFT calculations of In-doped CdO hydrogen passivated tetracuboid molecular cluster that shifted from 510.2[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] to 531.3[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] upon In doping. No Burstein–Moss effect is observed by the theoretical model.

AbstractThe electronic structures of sulfonamide antibiotics (the ground state and the lowest singlet excited-state geometries) have been investigated by using density functional theory (DFT) simulations. Experimental studies on the removal of sulfamethazine, sulfathiazole and sulfamethoxazole by ozone have also been conducted by using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection (LC/MS/MS). The calculated ground and excited state geometries exhibited low energy of the inter-ring bonds, which suggests the weakest bonds that can be broken during the ozone oxidation process. The orbital energy calculations (HOMO-LUMO and its energy gap) demonstrate that the smaller HOMO-LUMO energy gap, the higher reactivity toward ozone oxidation. Additionally, the current study suggests potential products of the three pharmaceutical compounds based on their electronic properties, which may help better understand the unknown reaction pathways of the pharmaceutical compounds.

Of particular interest within the +6 uranium complexes is the linear uranyl(vi) cation and it forms numerous coordination complexes in solution and exhibits incongruent redox behavior depending on coordinating ligands. This DFT study predicts VI/V reduction potentials of a range of uranyl(vi) complexes in non-aqueous solutions within ∼0.10−0.20 eV of experiment.

Treatment of the ortho-triazacyclophane 1,4-dimethyltribenzo[b,e,h][1,4,7]triazacyclonona-2,5,8-triene [(C6H5)3(NH)(NCH3)2, L1] with Fe[N(SiMe3)2]2 yields the dimeric iron(II) complex bis(μ-1,4-dimethyltribenzo[b,e,h][1,4,7]triazacyclonona-2,5,8-trien-7-ido)bis[(μ-1,4-dimethyltribenzo[b,e,h][1,4,7]triazacyclonona-2,5,8-trien-7-ido)iron(II)], [Fe(C20H18N3)4] or Fe2(L1)4 (9). Dissolution of 9 in tetrahydrofuran (THF) results in solvation by two THF ligands and the formation of a simpler monoiron complex, namely bis(μ-1,4-dimethyltribenzo[b,e,h][1,4,7]triazacyclonona-2,5,8-trien-7-ido-κN 7)bis(tetrahydrofuran-κO)iron(II), [Fe(C20H18N3)2(C4H8O)2] or (L1)2Fe(THF)2 (10). The reaction is reversible and 10 reverts in vacuo to diiron complex 9. In the structures of both 9 and 10, the monoanionic triazacyclophane ligand L1− is observed in only the less-symmetric saddle conformation. No bowl-shaped crown conformers are observed in the solid state, thus preventing chelating κ3-coordination to the metal as had been proposed earlier based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Instead, the L1− ligands are bound in either a η2-chelating fashion through the amide and one amine donor (for one of the four ligands of 9), or solely through their amide N atoms in an even simpler monodentate η1-coordination mode. Density functional calculations on dimer 9 revealed nearly full cationic charges on each Fe atom and no bonding interaction between the two metal centers, consistent with the relatively long Fe...Fe distance of 2.912 (1) Å observed in the solid state.

Recently, a new method [P. Partovi-Azar and D. Sebastiani, J. Chem. Phys. 152, 064101 (2020)] was proposed to increase the efficiency of proton transfer energy calculations in density functional theory by using the T1 state with additional optimized effective potentials instead of calculations at S1. In this work, we focus on proton transfer from six prototypical photoacids to neighboring water molecules and show that the reference proton dissociation curves obtained at S1 states using time-dependent density functional theory can be reproduced with a reasonable accuracy by performing T1 calculations at density functional theory level with only one additional effective potential for the acidic hydrogens. We also find that the extra effective potentials for the acidic hydrogens neither change the nature of the T1 state nor the structural properties of solvent molecules upon transfer from the acids. The presented method is not only beneficial for theoretical studies on excited state proton transfer, but we believe that it would also be useful for studying other excited state photochemical reactions.
