Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HAp) doped with various transition metals has generated great interest in view of its potential application in a wide variety of fields, including in catalysis as a support with a series of attractive properties. Despite a large number of experimental works devoted to the synthesis and application of iron-substituted hydroxyapatites, problems concerning the location, introduced defects, and charge compensation schemes for Fe2+ and/or Fe3+ cations in the crystal structure of HAp remain unclear. This paper is devoted to the comprehensive analysis of iron (II) and (III) introduction into the HAp lattice by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We show that the inclusion of Fe2+ in the Ca(1) and Ca(2) positions of HAp is energetically comparable. For the Fe3+, there is a clear preference to be included in the Ca(2) position. The inclusion of iron results in cell contraction, which is more pronounced in the case of Fe3+. In addition, Fe3+ may form a shorter linkage to oxygen atoms. The incorporation of both Fe2+ and Fe3+ leads to notable local reorganization in the HAp cell.

The Crystal structure of both α-Ti2O3 and its new substructure with a halved c-axis has been investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The α-Ti2O3 substructure described in the R-3m space group, reveals an unusual 12-fold high coordination of Ti atoms forming edge and face-sharing distorted hexagonal prisms TiO12 stacking along the c-axis. The Hubbard-corrections predict a close bandgap for both α-Ti2O3 and its substructure; whereas a comparative study of their relative stability indicates that the substructure is thermodynamically less stable.

The crystal structure of MoO2(O2)H2O has been solved by analogy with the WO2(O2)H2O structure and refined with synchrotron powder diffraction data obtained from beamline 08B1-1 at the Canadian Light Source. Rietveld refinement, performed with the software package GSAS, yielded monoclinic lattice parameters of a = 12.0417(4) Å, b = 3.87003(14) Å, c = 7.38390(24) Å, and β = 78.0843(11)° (Z = 4, space group P21/n). The structure is composed of double zigzag molybdate chains running parallel to the b-axis. The Rietveld refined structure was compared with density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed with CRYSTAL14, and show strong agreement with the DFT optimized structure.

Utilizing dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we demonstrate the weak intermolecular interactions of phenylenediamine dimer (pdd) clusters, emphasizing the local lowest energy structures and decomposition of interaction energies by natural bond orbital (NBO) and atoms in molecule (AIM) analyses.

The single crystal X-ray structure of new 1,1’-bis(2-nitrophenyl)-5,5’-diisopropyl-3,3’-bipyrazole, 1, is triclinic P I–, a = 7.7113(8), b = 12.3926(14), c = 12.9886(12) Å, α = 92.008(8), β = 102.251(8), γ = 99.655(9)°. The structural arrangement is compared to that of 5,5’-diisopropyl-3,3’-bipyrazole, 5, whose single crystal structure is found tetragonal I41/a, a = b = 11.684(1), c = 19.158(1) Å. The comparison is also extended to the structures previously determined for 1,1’-bis(2-nitrophenyl)-5,5’-propyl-3,3’-bipyrazole, 2, 1,1’-bis(4-nitrophenyl)-5,5’-diisopropyl-3,3’-bipyrazole, 3, and 1,1’-bis(benzyl)-5,5’-diisopropyl-3,3’-bipyrazole, 4. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations are used to investigate the molecular geometries and to determine the global reactivity parameters. The geometry of isolated molecules and the molecular arrangements in the solid state are analyzed according to the nature of the groups connected to the bipyrazole core.

N,N’ – bis – (2– hydroxy – ethylene) – terephthalamide (BHETA) has been obtained by aminolysis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using excess of monoethanoloamine and it has been physicochemically characterized [1]. In this paper there are shown the results of the multi-temperature X-ray measurement which were performed to provide information about the stability of the structure. Detailed temperature analysis of the crystal structure allows us to determine properties of the compound which is very important product of recycling PET wastes in order to use it for further chemical reactions. The structure of the title compound was also modelled by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

The mechanism of the iridium-catalyzed functionalization of a primary C–H bond at the γ position of an alcohol 5 is investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. A new IrIII–IrV mechanism is found to be more feasible than the previously reported IrI–IrIII mechanism. 10 In the IrIII–IrV mechanism, the reaction begins with the initial formation of (Me4phen)IrIII(H)[Si(OR)Et2]2 from the catalyst precursor, [Ir(cod)OMe]2 (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene). The catalytic cycle includes five steps: (1) the insertion of norbornene into the Ir–H bond to produce (Me4phen)IrIII(norbornyl)[Si(OR)Et2]2 (R = –CH(C2H5)C3H7); (2) the Si–H oxidative addition of HSi(OR)Et2 to form (Me4phen)IrVH(norbornyl)[Si(OR)Et2]3; (3) the reductive elimination of norbornane to furnish (Me4phen)IrIII[Si(OR)Et2]3; (4) the intramolecular C–H activation of the primary C–H bond at the γ position; and (5) the Si–C reductive elimination to produce the final product and regenerate the catalyst. The highest barrier in the IrIII–IrV mechanism is 7.3 kcal/mol lower than that of the IrI–IrIII mechanism. In addition, the regioselectivity of the C–H activation predicted by this new IrIII–IrV mechanism is consistent with experimental observation.
