To address the issue, a ML-<em>J</em>-DP4//DP4+ workflow was studied, which allowed simultaneous determination of connectivity and relative configuration with high accuracy, while saving computational resources. Furthermore, during the calculation of NMR data at the DP4+ level, abnormally large errors were observed for the beta carbon of a polyhydroxylated conjugated enone. A literature analysis revealed that this behavior could be generalized, and after careful examination, it was determined to be the result of small geometric distortions caused by an overestimated network of intramolecular hydrogen bonds. To mitigate this common source of discrepancy, a heuristic solution was introduced as a proof of concept by <em>in silico</em> blocking of hydroxyl groups.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74918,"journal":{"name":"Tetrahedron chem","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 100125"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143644003","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}

Among the materials explored for LHSs, cyanostilbene derivatives stand out due to their ease of synthesis and unique photophysical properties, such as aggregation-induced emission (AIE) enhancement. These molecules can self-assemble into supramolecular structures through non-covalent interactions, including host–guest interactions, multiple hydrogen bonds, amphiphilic interactions, and metal-ligand coordination, offering tunable architectures for efficient energy transfer and light absorption. This minireview examines recent advancements in the design, synthesis, and functional performance of cyanostilbene-based supramolecular LHSs, analyzing their efficiency and adaptability in energy transfer processes.
