A coordinatively flexible hexadentate ligand gives structurally isomeric complexesM2(L)X3(M= Cu, Zn;X= Br, Cl)

Topological characterization of HXO2 (X = Cl, Br, I) isomerization.

The isomerization reactions of HOOX --> HOXO --> HXO2 (X = Cl, Br, I) have been studied by using the density functional theory. The breakage and formation of the chemical bonds of the titled reactions have been discussed by the topological analysis method of electronic density. The calculated results show that there is a transitional structure of a three-membered ring on each of the isomerizati...

F , Cl , Br ) . Validation of hybrid DFT methods

From simple to complex: topological evolution and luminescence variation in a copper(I) pyridylpyrazolate system tuned via second ligating spacers.

By systematically varying the geometric length and electronic properties of the second ligating ligands of halogen (Cl(-), Br(-), and I(-)) and pseudohalogen (CN(-), SCN(-), and N(3)(-)) anions, we synthesized 11 isomeric/isostructural copper(I) complexes: [Cu(2)(L3-3)I](n) (1), [Cu(2)(L4-4)Br](n) (2-Br), [Cu(2)(L4-4)Cl](n) (2-Cl), [Cu(2)(L3-4)(CN)](n) (3), [Cu(2)(L3-3)(CN)](n) (4), [Cu(3)(L4-4...

Structurally Similar Triphenylphosphine-Stabilized Undecagolds, Au11(PPh3)7Cl3 and [Au11(PPh3)8Cl2]Cl, Exhibit Distinct Ligand Exchange Pathways with Glutathione

Ligand exchange is frequently used to introduce new functional groups on the surface of inorganic nanoparticles or clusters while preserving the core size. For one of the smallest clusters, triphenylphosphine (TPP)-stabilized undecagold, there are conflicting reports in the literature regarding whether core size is retained or significant growth occurs during exchange with thiol ligands. During...

Flexible Ligand-Protein Docking

The parameters ∆H R, ∆S ◦ R and ∆Cp can all be calculated from knowledge of various changes in accessible surface area (ASA), which is defined as the surface traced out by a sphere, with radius equal to that of a solvent molecule, when rolled over the surface of the molecule of interest. This can also be formulated in configuration space as the Minkowski sum of the protein and the sphere, namel...
