Modification of existing ORR catalysts with small amounts of ionic liquids (IL) represents an innovative approach to altering the catalytic activity and stability. ILs are supposed to take effect by modifying the local microenvironment at electrochemical interfaces. Nevertheless, a thorough understanding about the local distribution of ILs over solid catalysts is still lacking, hindering the IL modification strategy to be a generic approach to rationally modulating the catalytic performance of a catalyst. In this study we employed STEM-EDS spectral imaging to locate the IL distribution on the catalyst in presence of NafionTM. To overcome the difficulties associated with low energy STEM-EDS we setup a sophisticated data processing routine based on machine learning.","PeriodicalId":72562,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry methods : new approaches to solving problems in chemistry","volume":"3 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cmtd.202200084","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42191618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we take on this challenge by introducing an all-around performance descriptor that combines three key criteria (related to energy density, storage time and light-absorption characteristics), and by using density functional theory methods to calculate its values for 52 newly designed dihydroazulene/vinylheptafulvene (DHA/VHF) switches. Thereby, we are able to identify several switches with excellent overall properties that contain a structural motif absent in all DHA/VHF compounds previously considered for solar-energy storage. For some of these switches, we also provide retrosynthetic analyses and demonstrate that they form the energy-storing VHF isomer through a facile DHA→VHF photoisomerization reaction. All in all, we conclude that these switches show great promise for further development towards applications in solar-energy storage.","PeriodicalId":72562,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry methods : new approaches to solving problems in chemistry","volume":"3 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cmtd.202200060","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41858714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the last decades, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has become the method of choice for metabolite profiling because of its high sensitivity and selectivity. However, determining the full molecular structure of the detected metabolites, including the exact biotransformation site, remains challenging on the basis of MS alone. Here we explore infrared ion spectroscopy (IRIS) as a novel MS-based method for the elucidation of metabolic pathways in drug metabolism research. Using the drug midazolam as an example, we identify several biotransformation products directly from an in vitro drug incubation sample. We show that IR spectra of the aglycone MS/MS fragment ions of glucuronide metabolites establish a direct link between detected phase I and phase II metabolites. Moreover, using quantum-chemically computed IR spectra of candidate structures, we are able to assign the exact sites of biotransformation in absence of reference standards. Additionally, we demonstrate the utility of IRIS for structural elucidation by identifying several ring-opened midazolam derivatives formed in an acidic environment.","PeriodicalId":72562,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry methods : new approaches to solving problems in chemistry","volume":"3 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cmtd.202200068","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43164388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, we have developed a new benchmark strategy, and we have applied it to evaluate the predictions given by two wavefunction and several density functional theory (DFT) methods for the UV-vis absorption spectra of recently developed organic photocatalyst molecules. The novelty in our benchmark framework is that it focuses on evaluating the real-world applicability of computational methods and does not penalize errors that do not contribute to spectral shapes. We employ a spectral fitting process where the calculated excitations are convoluted with Gaussians using two parameters for broadening and wavelength scaling. This way, most methods can sufficiently reproduce the experimental spectra, but they differ in how much adjustment they require from the parameters. Overall, the double hybrids (with the notable exception of DSD-BLYP) are the best functionals that offer the highest predictive power as they require practically no scaling. They are exceptionally good in estimating the excitation energies with almost 90 % of the fitted spectra falling into the ±10 % scaling window. This is the same level of accuracy as provided by the STEOM-DLPNO-CCSD correlated wavefunction method. In terms of cost efficiency, M06 emerges as the best functional. It compensates a slightly less consistent performance with lower computational demand and availability in nearly all computational codes. Therefore, we recommend the use of double-hybrid and M06 functionals for UV-vis spectrum prediction of novel organic photocatalysts, and we also highlight that M06 can be used as a black-box method even by those who are non-experts in computational chemistry. The developed protocol and a user-friendly notebook to assist the analysis are available on GitHub.","PeriodicalId":72562,"journal":{"name":"Chemistry methods : new approaches to solving problems in chemistry","volume":"3 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cmtd.202200069","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41902996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
