In previous researches of Cu(I) complexes’ ultrafast dynamics, most of the acceptor ligands used are symmetric and only a limited number of asymmetric ligands examples were reported. To further understanding the ultrafast excited states’ dynamics of Cu(I) complexes with asymmetric cyano-substituted bipyridine electron acceptors ligand, Cu(I) complexes with 6-cyano-2,2ʹ-bipyridine and 4,4ʹ-dimethyl-6-cyano-2,2ʹ-bipyridine ligand in dichloromethane and acetonitrile were investigated by applying femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy. From the TA spectra, it was found that there are two different metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) states with different nature could be populated after pseudo-Jahn-Teller distortion. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculation results also support this hypothesis that in one MLCT state, electron density is donated from Cu(I) center to the cyanobipyridine ligand with electron density delocalised on the whole bipyridine ligand and in the other MLCT state is with electron density donated from Cu(I) center to the cyano-substituted pyridine fragment of the cyanobipyridine ligand. This result indicates that asymmetric electron acceptors may lead to extra excited states could be populated comparing with symmetric electron acceptors.","PeriodicalId":99,"journal":{"name":"Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143723794","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 Debye–Hückel theory finds widespread application, such as in equations of state and Onsager's theory for conductivities. Here, a theoretical inconsistency of the Debye–Hückel theory is discussed, which originates from the employed Poisson–Boltzmann framework that violates the statistical independence of states presumed for the Boltzmann statistics. Furthermore, the static permittivity of electrolytic solutions is discussed as not directly measurable, while common methods for its extraction from experimental data are assessed as erroneous. A sensitivity analysis of modeled activity coefficients with respect to the permittivity and ionic radii as input parameters is conducted, showing that their influences overshadow physicochemical differences of common variations of Debye–Hückel models. Eventually, this study points out that the justification of the traditional and still often used Debye–Hückel models by experimental validation is affected by fitting ambiguities that eventually impede its predictive capabilities.","PeriodicalId":99,"journal":{"name":"Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143723792","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}

For (H2O-Arn)+ radical cation clusters, competition between the hemibonded type and hydrogen-bonded (H-bonded) type isomers has been discussed on the basis of infrared spectroscopy and theoretical computations. It has been commonly recognized that the H-bonded type is predominant, while the coexistence of the hemibonded type remains a topic of debate. Hemibonded species are known to exhibit very strong electronic transitions in the ultraviolet and/or visible (UV-Vis) region, which are marker bands for hemibond formation. In this study, we performed electronic spectroscopy and photofragment ion imaging experiments on (H2O-Arn)+ to observe the hemibond formation between H2O+ and Ar. The observed spectra of (H2O-Arn)+ (n = 1-3) exhibit absorption in the UV and visible regions. A comparison with quantum chemical calculations suggests the coexistence of the hemibonded type in (H2O-Arn)+ (n = 1 and 2). In addition, the photofragment ion imaging experiment on (H2O-Ar)+ showed an angular distribution attributed to the absorption of the hemibonded type, providing firm experimental evidence of the coexistence of the hemibonded type.","PeriodicalId":99,"journal":{"name":"Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143733971","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}

To further understand water mobilization through AQPs, this study focuses on the characterization of water flux through the TIP3;1 aquaporins of Zea mays L. using molecular dynamics. The primary objective is to elucidate how protein–water intermolecular interactions and protein conformational dynamics impact water mobility across the cell membrane. To conduct this analysis, the three-dimensional structure of TIP3;1 was modeled using AlphaFold2, from which the complete system was constructed. This system consisted of a homotetramer of TIP3;1 immersed in a fragment of cell membrane and solvated with water molecules and ions. Subsequently, molecular dynamics simulations were conducted for 90 ns, resulting in the determination of an osmotic permeability coefficient (pf) of 0.8172 ± 0.146 × 10−14 cm3 s−1. In general, the mobility of water along the single-file water channel is influenced by the complex interplay of protein conformational dynamics and hydrogen bonding. The conformational dynamics of the protein channel modify the pore radius available for the passage of water, which affects the frequency of protein–water interactions and consequently influences the mobility of water in the channel. This study contributes to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which AQP activity is modulated without involving changes in protein chemical composition.","PeriodicalId":99,"journal":{"name":"Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143723795","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 low-lying electronic states of these molecules were revealed through the multi-reference theory, suggesting that the ligand-to-ligand charge-transfer states play a significant role. Additionally, several structural factors that influence the energies of the excited states were identified. To enhance our understanding of the ESP, we incorporated spin-orbit coupling as a direct transition term between excited states and explicitly considered its effects on the ESP. The results of evaluating transition rates through a transition simulation indicate that when the influence of spin-orbit coupling is significant, the sign of the ESP in the ground state can reverse. This novel ESP mechanism mediated by spin-orbit coupling may offer fundamental insights for designing molecules to precisely control electron distribution across multiple spin states.","PeriodicalId":99,"journal":{"name":"Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143713265","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}

To achieve this objective, we considered five candidate OLED compounds: Dibenzothio-phen-sulfone-3-yl-9-phenyl-9H-carbazole (DBTS-CzP), 9H-thioxanthene-9-one-dibenzothiophene-sulfone (TXO-DBTS), spiro[fluorene-9,9-thioxanthene]-10,10-dioxide (SpDBTS), 9-[4-(Diphenylphosphoryl)-2,2-dimethyl-4-biphenylyl]-9H-carbazole (mCBPPO), and N,N-Bis[2-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl]-N,N-di(n-butyl)phenylamine (DPA-2Py). We employed density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) methods to investigate how dimerization can affect their electronic and NLO characteristics. The results of electronic structure analyses, including HOMO-LUMO gaps and NLO characteristics, reveal that dimerization enhances dipole moments and polarizabilities, facilitating improved charge transfer and electronic transitions. Among the studied compounds, TXO-DBTS demonstrates stable electronic properties and exhibits enhanced NLO characteristics post-dimerization --such as efficient charge mobility and superior color purity-- positioning it as a promising candidate for advanced OLED applications. These findings underscore dimerized structures' potential to enhance optoelectronic device performance.","PeriodicalId":99,"journal":{"name":"Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143723796","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}
