Journal ArticleDOI

Fluorescent difluoroboron-curcumin analogs: An investigation of the electronic structures and photophysical properties.

TL;DR: A comprehensive approach based on the density functional theory method was used to elicit the molecular and photophysical properties of four difluoroboron analogs of curcumin, suggesting considerable charge transfer characteristics of the first excited state.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theoretical study of the molecular aspect of the suspected novichok agent A234 of the Skripal poisoning

TL;DR: The novichok agent A234 (chemical structure proposed by Mirzayanov) was studied using computational methods to shed light on its molecular, electronic, spectroscopic, thermodynamic and toxicity parameters as well as on potential thermal and hydrolysis degradation pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural and DFT/TD-DFT investigation of tris(bidentate) complexes of rhenium(III) synthesized from the cis-[ReO2]+ core and benzenethiol derivatives

TL;DR: In this article, the reaction of the rhenium(V) complex with 2-aminothiophenol (H2atp), benzene-1,2-dithiol and 2-hydroxothiobenzosemiquinonate (H 2otp) led to the formation of three paramagnetic complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of allyl 2-(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)hydrazinecarbodithioate: synthesis, X-ray crystal structures, and theoretical study

TL;DR: In this article, allyl 2-(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)hydrazine-carbodithioate (HL) and its Ni(II) and Cu(II), [ML2] complexes were fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H-NMR, UV-Vis, and molar conductivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ion-Pair SN2 Substitution: Activation Strain Analyses of Counter-Ion and Solvent Effects

TL;DR: Findings from this study contribute to a more rational design of tailor-made substitution reactions by elucidate how the counterion M(+) modifies ion-pair SN 2 reactivity relative to the parent reaction F(-) +CH3Cl.
