Medium-size polarized basis sets for high-level correlated calculations of molecular electric properties

Abstract: The basis set polarization approach is employed for the generation of medium-size polarized GTO/CGTO basis sets for calculations of molecular dipole moments and polarizabilities. The excellent performance of the [13.10.4/7.5.2] GTO/CGTO polarized basis sets derived for Si through Cl is illustrated by the atomic polarizability results and SCF and MBPT data for dipole moments and polarizabilities of the second-row atom hydrides. The possible applications of the electric-property oriented polarized basis sets are discussed. The basis set data for Si through Cl are those for H and C through F append the paper.

Photoredox catalysis by [Ru(bpy)3]2+ to trigger transformations of organic molecules. Organic synthesis using visible-light photocatalysis and its 20th century roots

Abstract: Reactions triggered by light constitute a treasure trove of unique synthetic methods that are available to chemists Photoinduced redox processes using visible light in conjunction with sensitizing dyes offer a great variety of catalytic transformations useful in the realm of organic synthesis The recent literature amply shows that this preparative toolbox is expanding substantially This review discusses historical and contemporary work in the area of photoredox catalysis with [Ru(bpy)3]2+ Elegant examples from the most recent literature document the importance of this fast developing area of research The photoredox chemistry has also emerged as a promising bond-making and bond-breaking tool for chemical biology and materials chemistry A review with 96 references
