Abstract The effect of immobilized β-cyclodextrin (bCD) molecules inside a mesoporous silica support on the uptake of benzene and p-nitrophenol from aqueous solution was investigated using all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The calculated adsorption isotherms are discussed with respect to the free energies of binding for a 1:1 complex of bCD and the aromatic guest molecule. The adsorption capacity of the bCDcontaining material significantly exceeds the amount corresponding to a 1:1 binding scenario, in agreement with experimental observations for benzene adsorption. The demonstrated feasibility of classical all-atom MD simulations to calculate liquid phase adsorption isotherms paves the way to a molecular interpretation of experimental data that are too complex to be described by empirical models.

The inter-cage hopping in a type II clathrate hydrate with different numbers of H2 and D2 molecules, from 1 to 4 molecules per large cage, was studied using a classical molecular dynamics simulation at temperatures of 80 to 240 K. We present the results for the diffusion of these guest molecules (H2 or D2) at all of the different occupations and temperatures, and we also calculated the activation energy as the energy barrier for the diffusion using the Arrhenius equation. The average occupancy number over the simulation time showed that the structures with double and triple large-cage H2 occupancy appeared to be the most stable, while the small cages remained with only one guest molecule. A Markov model was also calculated based on the number of transitions between the different cage types.

The inclusion compound (IC) of cyclodextrin (CD) containing the antitumor drug Methotrexate (MTX) as a guest molecule was obtained to increase the solubility of MTX and decrease its inherent toxic effects in nonspecific cells. The IC was conjugated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), obtained by a chemical method, creating a ternary intelligent delivery system for MTX molecules, based on the plasmonic properties of the AuNPs. Irradiation of the ternary system, with a laser wavelength tunable with the corresponding surface plasmon of AuNPs, causes local energy dissipation, producing the controlled release of the guest from CD cavities. Finally, cell viability was evaluated using MTS assays for β-CD/MTX and AuNPs + β-CD/MTX samples, with and without irradiation, against HeLa tumor cells. The irradiated sample of the ternary system AuNPs + β-CD/MTX produced a diminution in cell viability attributed to the photothermal release of MTX.

<p>Skyrmions are knot-like topologically-protected objects of use in data storage and low-energy smart devices. They can be generated by applying a magnetic field to certain chiral ferromagnets, with the knotted state involving a curling of the underlying magnetisation to give a nonzero winding number. Here we explore the possibility that chiral metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) might in principle host skyrmionic phases—realised not through the winding of magnetic spins but through that of guest molecule orientations. We propose a simple model for the interactions governing guest orientational order in chiral MOFs, with uniaxial strain acting as conjugate field. Using Monte Carlo simulations we show that this model gives a rich phase behaviour that includes molecular skyrmion crystals. <i>Ab initio</i> molecular dynamics simulations carried out for a candidate chiral MOF of tractable complexity demonstrate that our simple model effectively captures its underlying energetics. Our results suggest that skyrmionic states may indeed be realisable in MOFs and related porous media and may even arise spontaneously in thin-film samples.</p>
