The nature of chemical bonding in actinide compounds (molecular complexes and materials) remains elusive many respects. A thorough analysis their electron charge distribution can prove decisive elucidating trends oxidation states along the series. However, accurate determination robust density pose several challenges from both experimental theoretical perspectives. Significant advances have rec...

The fullerene structures of C20cage and bowl,C20H10 and their N-doped structures as C20cage NH,C20bowl NH, C20H10NH, C20H10N and their isomers are optimized using the MPW1PW91/6-31G level of the theory. Magnetic shielding tensors of 14N and 13C atoms are calculated by the same level of the theory. Results show that doping an N atom on fullerenes affects differently on the chemical shielding of ...

the storage capacity of hydrogen on na-decorated born nitride nanotubes (bnnts) is investigated by using density functional theory within quantum espresso and gaussian 09. the results obtained predict that a single na atom tends to occupy above the central region of the hexagonal rings in (5,0) and (3,3) bnnt structures with a binding energy of -2.67 and -4.28 ev/na-atom respectively. when a si...

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed on tripeptide arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid (RGD) as an efficient drug carrier to deliver the commercially famous cyclophosphamide (CP) anticancer drug within ethanol solution. The most negative binding energy (-5.22 kcal/mol) was measured for the CP-RGD-7 created through the H-bond interaction between the P=O (phosphoryl) oxygen atom o...

In the present study, the interactions of three different lithium species Li+, Li3+ and CH3Li with several different sites of the most stable tautomers of DNA nucleo-bases are presented. This investigation is based on the results of thermochemical properties, Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) and Natural Bond Orbi...

The atomic and molecular interactions in a crystal of dinitrogen tetraoxide, alpha-N2O4, have been studied in terms of the quantum topological theory of molecular structure using high-resolution, low-temperature X-ray diffraction data. The experimental electron density and electrostatic potential have been reconstructed with the Hansen-Coppens multipole model. In addition, the three-dimensional...
