The potential relations between the measure of topological interatomic bonding—integrals of electron density with respect to internuclear axis over the corresponding quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM)‐defined interatomic surface (IAS)—and interatomic exchange‐correlation contributions from the interacting quantum atoms approach are discussed. The quantum chemical computations of 38 equilibrium diatomic systems at different levels of theory (HF, MP2, MP4SDQ, and CCSD) are invoked to support abstract considerations. Parameters of excellent correlations between IAS integrals and interatomic exchange‐correlation energy are found by the optimization. The performance of these trends depends on the accuracy of the electronic correlation treatment. The resulting trends are a unique feature of equilibrium states, whereas more complicated dependencies are explored for several systems at non‐equilibrium conditions. The relations of established trends with other IAS‐based estimations of strength of bonding interactions between topological atoms and issues explored for multiatomic systems are briefly discussed.

Сyclocondensation of phenyl, ortho-bromophenyl, para-phenylphenyl, para-methoxycarbonylphenyl, para-tolyl and para-methoxyphenyl boronic acid with curcumin in the presence of K3PO4 upon refluxing in 1,4-dioxane for 24 h leads to the formation of curcumin-based 2,2-diaryl-1,3,2-dioxaborines in good yields. The absorption-emission spectra of the synthesized fluorescent conjugates and 1,3,2-dioxaborine with para-biphenyl boronic substituent demonstrated the highest quantum yield. Among the compounds studied, conjugate curcumin with para-methoxycarbonylphenyl boronic substituent ...

Benzenoid hydrocarbons are structurally regular aromatic compounds, which makes them well suited for quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) studies. This study presents a QSPR analysis of nineteen benzenoid hydrocarbon species using degree-based topological co-indices. We developed a Python program to compute eleven degree-based topological co-indices from molecular graphs and evaluated their ability to explain variations in ...

In this work, we combine experimental characterization and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to elucidate the molecular mechanisms governing the impregnation of mefenamic acid (MFA) into nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) aerogels. NCC aerogels were impregnated with MFA in scCO2, and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption revealed a concentration-dependent decrease in surface area, pore volume, and pore size, with an ...

We derive the stress tensor of a flexible polymer solution within the Gaussian-chain self-consistent field theory (SCFT) without invoking the ground-state dominance (GSD) approximation. Starting from a covariant formulation of the single-chain partition function in a background metric, we obtain the symmetric stress tensor expressed through the full Edwards propagators. The result contains the local ...

Two new supramolecular halometalate hybrid complexes, (H2bpen){[MCl5](I2)} (M = Sb(III) (1) and Bi(III) (2); bpen – 1,2-Bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene, have been prepared. Despite very close similarity of the nature of cations, they reveal significant structural difference from the (H2bpe){[MCl5](I2)} (bpe – 1,2-bis(4-pyridil)ethane) reported earlier. We discuss these features, along with thermal stability, optical properties as well as Raman spectra ...

Data-driven discovery of sodium-ion cathodes is often limited by small data sets and the poor interpretability of graph neural networks (GNNs). Here, we developed Symbol_ETR, an interpretable framework combining symbolic regression with ensemble learning. By constructing explicit nonlinear descriptors, symbolic regression extra trees regression (Symbol_ETR) achieves a test R2 of 0.90 for average voltage prediction ...

The electric double layer (EDL) at a single-crystal metal surface is controlled not only by the electrolyte composition and the electrode potential, but also by the atomic structure of the surface itself. This makes the Ag(hkl)/NaF interface a stringent test for continuum theories of the EDL. In the third part of our series, we examine ...

A self-consistent statistical-mechanical theory of the Hall effect in electrolyte solutions is developed by extending the self-consistent Debye–Hückel–Onsager (SCDHO) framework to crossed electric and magnetic fields. The theory incorporates non-local ionic charge distributions via Slater-type form factors, regularizing the Coulomb interaction at short range, and accounts for dielectric friction through ion-specific coefficients, employing experimental values ...

The rational design of coinage metal nanocarriers requires a mechanistic understanding of metal-drug binding and predictive descriptors that translate molecular interactions into design rules. Using DFT (B3LYP-D3BJ/def2-TZVP, SMD water), we systematically investigated the binding of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and levodopa (l-DOPA) to neutral and cationic homo- and heteronuclear dimers of Au, Ag, and Cu (Au2, Ag2, ...

We present two models with explicit long-range electrostatics in the form of Coulomb interactions. Both models include point charges depending on their local atomic environments, and the second model also conserves a total charge of an atomic system. We combine the proposed long-range models with the local moment tensor potential (MTP) and demonstrate that they ...

Density functional theory (DFT) is the workhorse of modern reactions and materials modeling. While the exact functional remains unknown, many approximations to it have been constructed either by hand-crafting functional forms to satisfy exact constraints or by machine learning. In this work, we show how both of these approaches can be fused to build both ...
