The study considers the usual heme porphyrin (complex I) as the base compound, porphyrazine (complex II), which is obtained by replacing carbon with nitrogen at the meso position, and phthalocyanine (complex III), which is obtained through the peripheral benzoannulation of porphyrazine. The main focus here is to explore the impact of bridging groups and peripheral functionalization in heme systems on reactivity. Chloride is used as the axial ligand for all complexes and dihydroanthracene (DHA) is used as the substrate. Factors such as distortion energy and different electron acceptor orbitals significantly affect the overall reactivity. The effect of substitution on quantum mechanical tunneling, using H/D kinetic isotope effect studies, is also included. The results reveal a fascinating reactivity order: meso nitrogen substitution enhances reactivity, while additional benzo-annulation hinders reactivity, leading to the order complex II >complex I >complex III. In comparison to the usual model compound I, which is Fe(IV)O-porphyrin π cation radical with an -SH axial ligand, complex II was found to be more reactive. The electron affinity of the Fe(IV)O complexes and the dissociation energy of the forming Fe(IV)O-H bond aligns with observed reactivity trend. These findings support the use of accessible iron frameworks derived from porphyrin in C-H activation processes.","PeriodicalId":9819,"journal":{"name":"Chemphyschem","volume":" ","pages":"e202400765"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142567475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work builds upon our earlier study on the PMW unit itself, which proved to be highly promising for the ultrafast photogeneration of free charge carriers. Quantum-chemical calculations performed for the D-PMW-A triad at a semi-empirical level of theory reveal a large electric dipole moment of the system, and show strong charge-transfer (CT) character of its lowest-energy excited electronic states, including the S1, which favours efficient dissociation of an exciton initially formed upon the absorption of light. The confirmation for this effect was found with nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations, revealing an ultrafast relaxation from higher, bright excited states to S1, completed on a subpicosecond timescale. The architecture of the proposed molecular triad enables its electronic coupling to the surrounding environment through chemical bonds, or noncovalent stacking interactions, which might open way for synthesis of a new class of D-PMW-A efficient molecular organic photovoltaic materials.","PeriodicalId":9819,"journal":{"name":"Chemphyschem","volume":" ","pages":"e202400671"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142563561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key feature of ceria is the remarkable oxygen storage capacity linked to the switch between Ce4+ and Ce3+ states, in turn creating oxygen vacancies. Changes in the electronic structure occur with oxygen removal from the lattice. Accordingly, the two valence electrons can be accommodated by the reduction of support cations where the electrons can be localized in empty f states of Ce4+ ions nearby. Quantifying the different oxidation states in situ is crucial to understand and model the reaction mechanism. Beside the different techniques to quantify Ce3+ and Ce4+ states, we discuss the use of X-ray Raman Scattering (XRS) spectroscopy as an alternative method. In particular, we show that XRS can observe the oxidation state changes of cerium directly in the bulk of the materials under realistic environmental conditions. The Hilbert++ code is used to simulate the XRS spectra and quantify accurately the Ce3+ and Ce4+ content.

Recent calculations have revealed that adatom-adatom interactions are compatible with the formation of square c(2x2) islands. The pair distribution of these islands is a topic of the current investigation. In addition, the domain structure of islands found recently in STM experiments is discussed and explained using two types of island interactions. The potential used for the interaction between N square islands on copper is a combination of previous ab initio calculations and an updated mesoscopic interaction scheme. The 2D-BGY integral equation is extended to handle binary objects like two different types of islands. It is solved for up to a quarter island coverage using a numerical recursion algorithm. Coverage beyond half is accessible with island vacancy symmetry. The calculation predicts the formation of ordered island assemblies with increasing coverage. These results reasonably explain the previous experimental observations. The handling of binary objects also seems to be applicable to assemblies of two adatom types as found in catalysis. The assumptions and limitations of the model are discussed and open questions are formulated.","PeriodicalId":9819,"journal":{"name":"Chemphyschem","volume":" ","pages":"e202400899"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142543968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reaction proceeds with hydrogen abstraction from methane followed by the formation of surface methoxy species, which is reduced to methanol. We compare the reaction energetics for C-H dissociation in the presence and absence of surface defect, but find no discernible impact of O-vacancy on methane oxidation. In comparison, hydroxyl produced as a result of H2O2 or H2O photo-decomposition dramatically reduces the barrier for CH3-H bond cleavage. The reaction proceeds further by the reduction of surface methoxy group and is the rate-limiting step for methanol formation. Additionally, we find that methyl can also react with water to form methanol with a considerably lower barrier, suggesting an active involvement of water for methanol formation. We also study the role of water as a co-catalyst and observe significant reduction in barriers, facilitated by alternate pathway for proton transfer. The reaction pathways presented provide valuable insights into the mechanism of methane oxidation in the presence of H2O2 as oxidant and demonstrate the rate-enhancing role of water for these steps.","PeriodicalId":9819,"journal":{"name":"Chemphyschem","volume":" ","pages":"e202400708"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142557270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The STRIDE assay showed no increase in DSB detection 15 mins after irradiation for cells containing nanoparticles compared to cells without.

Therefore, in this study, we investigated the impact of atmospheric gases during moisture exposure on an argyrodite-type Li6PS5Cl via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrolyte powder was exposed to various atmospheric gases, namely Ar, Ar+500 ppm CO2, O2, and O2+500 ppm CO2, with moisture at a dew point of -20 °C, and H2S gas generation was monitored. As a result, the amount of H2S gas did not depend on the atmospheric gases. However, the atmospheric gases had a significant effect on the decrease in conductivity. Spectroscopic analyses revealed that CO2 facilitates the formation of carbonates and that O2 promotes the formation of phosphates and sulfonates. The formation of these compounds leads to surface degradation, which further decreases the conductivity.","PeriodicalId":9819,"journal":{"name":"Chemphyschem","volume":" ","pages":"e202400872"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142543953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
