Abstract In this paper, density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) are used to study the complexation characteristics CdTe quantum dots with four different capping agents, i.e. : 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA), reduced glutathione (GSH), 1-thioglycerol (TG) and 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate (MES). The properties of these complexes are analyzed by the complexation energy, bond lengths, electron densities, Mulliken charges and frontier molecular orbitals. In addition, the UV-Vis absorption spectra of pure CdTe QDs and those stable complexes are calculated. The results indicate that the four capping agents could form stable complexes with CdTe QDs. However, there are also some differences. For instance, the complexation between MES and QDs is the most stable and the electron amount transferred from MES to CdTe QDs is the most while the absorption intensity of UV-visible light after complexation is the largest. The stability of the complexes are followed by MPA and TG and the complexation between GSH and QDs is the most unstable, which is accompanied with the minimal electron transfer amount and the weakest absorption intensity of UV-visible light. The maximum absorption wavelengths of CdTe QDs are consistent with the experimental observed wavelength, which explains the experimental phenomena excellently.

Although the nucleophilic alkylation of aromatics has recently been achieved with a variety of potent main group reagents, all of this reactivity is limited to a stoichiometric regime. We now report that the ytterbium(II) hydride, [BDI YbH] (BDI = CH[C(CH )NDipp] , Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl), reacts with ethene and propene to provide the ytterbium(II) n-alkyls, [BDI YbR] (R = Et or Pr), both of which alkylate benzene at room temperature. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that this latter process operates through the nucleophilic (S 2) displacement of hydride, while the resultant regeneration of [BDI YbH] facilitates further reaction with ethene or propene and enables the direct catalytic (anti-Markovnikov) hydroarylation of both alkenes with a benzene C-H bond.

The introduction of mixed valency into extended main-group solids is discussed using the example of hole-doped LiBC, where a combination of experimental measurements and density functional theory calculations is used to understand the observed electronic properties in terms of deviation from the expected rigid-band electronic structure behaviour.
