Can the Lewis Basicity of an Isolated Solvent Molecule be Used for Characterizing Solvent Effects?

Jean-Francois Gal et al.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the role of Lewis basicity at the molecular level and solvent effects. The results demonstrate the importance of distinguishing between the basicity of solute molecules and that of the bulk liquid solvent when considering Lewis basicity effects.

Calculation of donor numbers: Computational estimates for the Lewis basicity of solvents

Ramon Alain Miranda-Quintana et al.

Summary: Donor numbers are crucial for classifying Lewis basicity of solvents. A theoretical framework has been proposed for their calculation, which shows high agreement with experimental values and highlights the importance of local molecular interactions. Simplified chemical reactions were used to examine different levels of approximations, with even the simplest approaches providing reasonable results.

Lewis Acidic Boranes, Lewis Bases, and Equilibrium Constants: A Reliable Scaffold for a Quantitative Lewis Acidity/Basicity Scale

Robert J. Mayer et al.

Summary: A quantitative Lewis acidity/basicity scale has been established for boron-centered Lewis acids based on experimental equilibrium constants, allowing the calculation of equilibrium constants for borane/Lewis base combinations. The scale is independent of fixed reference acids/bases and applicable to various types of trivalent boron-centered Lewis acids. The scale is easily extendable through linear relationships with quantum-chemically calculated or common physical-organic descriptors and known thermodynamic data. This experimental platform can be used for the rational development of borane-catalyzed reactions.

Evoking High-Donor-Number-Assisted and Organosulfur-Mediated Conversion in Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

Abhay Gupta et al.

Summary: The additive methyl trifluoroacetate (CH(3)TFA) in Li-S electrolyte reacts with lithium polysulfides to form beneficial lithium trifluoroacetate (LiTFA) and dimethyl polysulfides. Both the methyl group and trifluoroacetate anion significantly enhance Li-S discharge behavior while improving solution coordination and discharge kinetics. CH(3)TFA represents a new class of additives for Li-S batteries, allowing in situ molecular engineering for improved performance.

Thermochemistry of Solution, Solvation, and Hydrogen Bonding of Cyclic Amides in Proton Acceptor and Donor Solvents. Amide Cycle Size Effect

Ilnaz T. Rakipov et al.

Summary: The present study investigates the thermochemistry of cyclic amides in proton acceptor and donor solvents, focusing on solution, solvation, and hydrogen bonding. Experimental measurements and calculations reveal that the strength of hydrogen bonding between cyclic amides and solvents is influenced by the size of the cyclic structure.

Influence of the solvent on the Lewis acidity of antimony pentahalides and group 13 Lewis acids toward acetonitrile and pyridine

Anna V. Pomogaeva et al.

Summary: The energetic effects of solvation of SbF5, SbCl5, and 21 group 13 Lewis acids and their molecular complexes with acetonitrile and pyridine were evaluated using the SMD approach. New Lewis acidity scales based on the Gibbs energy of dissociation of the molecular complexes in different solvents were proposed in this study.

Scalable perovskite coating via anti-solvent-free Lewis acid-base adduct engineering for efficient perovskite solar modules

Do-Kyoung Lee et al.

Summary: High-quality large-area perovskite films were achieved using an anti-solvent-free adduct approach with DMPU as a Lewis base additive, significantly improving photovoltaic performance. The addition of DMPU affected the morphology and carrier lifetime of the perovskite film, leading to higher power conversion efficiency. A monolithic perovskite solar module with an active area of 19.69 cm(2) showed a PCE of 17.94% using the perovskite film prepared from the DMPU-containing solution.
