TLDR
In this paper, the authors present an approach to generate electrostatic potential (ESP) derived charges for molecules, which optimally reproduce the intermolecular interaction properties of molecules with a simple two-body additive potential, provided that a suitably accurate level of quantum mechanical calculation is used to derive the ESP around the molecule.
Abstract
We present a new approach to generating electrostatic potential (ESP) derived charges for molecules. The major strength of electrostatic potential derived charges is that they optimally reproduce the intermolecular interaction properties of molecules with a simple two-body additive potential, provided, of course, that a suitably accurate level of quantum mechanical calculation is used to derive the ESP around the molecule. Previously, the major weaknesses of these charges have been that they were not easily transferable between common functional groups in related molecules, they have often been conformationally dependent, and the large charges that frequently occur can be problematic for simulating intramolecular interactions

Enantiomeric MOF Crystals Using Helical Channels as Palettes with Bright White Circularly Polarized Luminescence.

TL;DR: Enantiomeric pairs of MOF crystals are reported, where achiral fluorophores adhere to the inner surface of helical channels via biology-like H-bonds and hence inherit the helicity of the host MOFs, eventually amplifying the luminescence dissymmetry factor of thehost l/d-CMOF.

Electrostatic Interaction-Induced Room-Temperature Phosphorescence in Pure Organic Molecules from QM/MM Calculations

TL;DR: It is found that electrostatic interaction not only can induce an enhanced radiative decay T1 → S0 through the dipole-allowed S1 intermediate state, but also can hinder the nonradiative decay process upon crystallization.
