Potential optical molecular switch: Lithium@cyclo[18]carbon complex transforming between two stable configurations

Zeyu Liu et al.

Summary: Doping lithium atom in the C-18 carbon molecule can effectively regulate its optical properties, with the ability to control the state by switching the Li atom position through an external electric field. The two configurations of Li@C-18 exhibit distinct electronic structures and optical nonlinear properties, making transition easy to occur at ambient temperature.

Summary: Transition metal-doped boron clusters have unique electronic properties and structural evolution. The stable structures of Ta2Bn(n = 1-10) clusters were determined using the CALYPSO structure search method, DFT optimization, and energy sorting. Ta2B6 cluster was found to form a B ring and exhibit high stability.

Electronic structure, stability, and aromaticity of M2B6 (M = Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba): an interplay between spin pairing and electron delocalization

Sladana Dordevic et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the stability and aromaticity of M2B6 (M = Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba) complexes vary in different spin states. Traditional electron counting rules for aromaticity are not sufficient to predict the aromaticity and relative stability of the molecules in different spin states.

Exploring the Size-Dependent Hydrogen Storage Property on Ti-Doped Bn Clusters by Diatomic Deposition: Temperature Controlled H2 Release

Peter L. Rodriguez-Kessler et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that Ti-doped B-n clusters have the ability to store up to four H-2 molecules and the temperature at which H-2 molecules are released depends on the specific cluster structure and interactions. These findings can be utilized for designing novel materials with reversible and controlled hydrogen storage properties.

Probing the structural and electronic properties of neutral and anionic strontium-doped magnesium clusters

Qing Yang Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the structural evolution and electronic properties of strontium-doped magnesium clusters using structural search code and DFT calculations, identifying a stable neutral Sr2Mg8 cluster with a tower-like structure. Analysis showed that the stronger Sr-Mg interaction led to s-p hybridization between the atoms, stabilizing the cluster.

Quasi-homogenous photocatalysis of quantum-sized Fe-doped TiO2 in optically transparent aqueous dispersions

Marcus Einert et al.

Summary: Anatase TiO2 nanocrystals were prepared via a simple non-aqueous sol-gel route and showed excellent photoreactivity in aqueous media, which could be further enhanced by doping with iron and UV-light pre-treatment. The effect of surface ligands on photoreactivity was thoroughly investigated, revealing a decrease in photocurrent and quantum efficiency upon doping due to the introduction of shallow defect states in thin-film electrodes made from the same TiO2 nanocrystals.

Structural and electronic properties of medium-sized beryllium doped magnesium BeMgn clusters and their anions

Yaru Zhao et al.

Summary: Bimetallic clusters with Be and Mg atoms were studied for their structural stability and charge transfer phenomena. The most stable structures were found to have cage-like frameworks at BeMgn0/- clusters with n = 10-20, and charge transfer occurred from the Mg atoms to Be atoms within the clusters. The d-orbitals occupation and s-p hybridization were found to contribute to the metallic behaviors observed in the clusters.
