New Idea for Narrowing an Energy Gap by Selective Perturbation of One Frontier Molecular Orbital

Kazuo Tanaka et al.

Summary: This manuscript introduces a new idea for narrowing energy gaps between FMOs, focusing on selectively perturbing HOMOs and LUMOs. It discusses the unique electronic properties of 5AP derivatives and their preservation in polymer chains. The paper also explores the effects of conjugation on HOMO and LUMO, strategies for obtaining NIR-absorbing molecules, and enhancing the luminescent properties of 5AP derivatives. Additionally, it demonstrates the potential for obtaining NIR-emissive polymers by selectively lowering the LUMO energy level in commodity luminescent dyes.

Accurate Prediction of Mossbauer Hyperfine Parameters in Bis-Axially Coordinated Iron(II) Phthalocyanines Using Density Functional Theory Calculations: A Story of a Single Orbital Revealed by Natural Bond Orbital Analysis

Victor N. Nemykin et al.

Summary: Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were used to predict Mossbauer hyperfine parameters of bis-axially coordinated iron(II) phthalocyanine complexes, with MN12L exchange-correlation functional accurately predicting quadrupole splitting trends. Hybrid exchange-correlation functionals underestimated quadrupole splittings while still accurately predicting isomer shifts. The study successfully explained the quadrupole splitting trends using Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) analysis and reported the first X-ray crystal structure of a PcFeL2 complex with axial phosphine ligands.

Refined standards for simulating UV-vis absorption spectra of acceptors in organic solar cells by TD-DFT

Yue Ren et al.

Summary: The photoexcitation properties of typical fullerene acceptors (FAs) and non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) were systematically investigated in this study, considering XCF, basis set, calculation density, solvation effect, and FWHM. The study found that the maximum absorption wavelength (λmax) of NFAs is strongly correlated with the fraction of exact Hartree-Fock exchange (EEX), establishing selection standards. Moreover, calculation density was identified as the primary factor to ensure the integrity of spectra.

Graphical Transition Moment Decomposition and Conceptual Density Functional Theory Approaches to Study the Fundamental and Lower-Level Overtone Absorption Intensities of Some OH Stretching Vibrations

Masafumi Tsuyuki et al.

Summary: The investigation of electron density migrations due to molecular structure changes is crucial in various fields of chemistry. Analyzing the absorption intensities of vibrations, this study found that OH stretching fundamental intensities strongly depend on substituents but weakly on molecular conformations. Additionally, in some alcohols, opposite trends were observed for lower-level overtone intensities, highlighting the importance of electron density migration in absorption intensities.

Anti-Angiogenic Therapy: Current Challenges and Future Perspectives

Filipa Lopes-Coelho et al.

Summary: Anti-angiogenic therapy aims to fight cancer by disrupting the nutrient and oxygen supply to tumor cells, mainly by targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). While some drugs in this category can enhance immune therapy, they often fall short in terms of efficacy. Researchers believe that targeting alternative angiogenic pathways in combination could be a promising solution.
