A distinctive feature of metallabenzenes is the significant deviation of their metal atoms from the planar configuration of the C5 ring, a phenomenon that paradoxically enhances their aromatic character. In this investigation, we propose that this counterintuitive increase in aromaticity upon geometric distortion is governed by the interactions of frontier orbitals in the σ-space. This insight not only corroborates the previously suggested role of σ-space orbitals in inducing geometric non-planarity in metallabenzenes but also underscores their pivotal contribution to the compounds' enhanced aromaticity. As a result, this work broadens the scope of the σ-control mechanism,highlighting its usefulness for the rational design of functional metalla-aromatic materials.展开更多

The α-, π-, and/l-classes of cytosolic GSTs have been studied extensively, while Gtt2 from Saccharo- myces cerevisiae, a novel atypical GST, is still poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated the gluta- thione（GSH） activation mechanism of Gtt2 using the density functional theory（DFT） with the hybrid functional B3LYP. The computational results show that a water molecule could assist a proton transfer between the GSH thiol and the N atom of His133. The energy barrier of proton transfer is 46.0 kJ/mol. The GSH activation mechanism and the characteristics of active site are different from those of classic cytosolic GSTs.展开更多

The time-dependent density functional theory（TD-DFT） and ZINDO were employed to study the lowest excitation energies（Egs） and the absorption and emission spectra of the oligomers of polyfluorene（PF） and poly（fluorene-co-thiophene）（PFT）. By extrapolating ΔH-L and Egs to those of infinite chain length, band gaps and effective conjugation lengths of the corresponding polymers were obtained. The IPs, EAs and 2abs of the polymers were obtained by extrapolating those of the oligomers to the inverse chain length equal to zero（I/n=0）. The outcome shows the decreased dihedral angle between fluorene and thiophene units in the PFT compared to that between fluorene units in the PF results in the increased efficient conjugation of PFT. These cause both the maximal absorption and emission wavelengths of PFT red-shifted compared with those of PF.展开更多

The binding energies of Fe2+ and Fe3+ in high-spin state are higher than intermediate and low-spin states which show that the complex formation in a high spin state is more favorable. The calculated binding energies at different solvents indicate that the binding energies in polar solvents are lower than non-polar solvents. Furthermore, spectroscopic studies including FTIR and Raman spectrum in various solvents reveal that the formation of intermolecular bonds between the oxygen atom of carbonyl group and the hydrogen atom of solvent causes a spectral red shift. The calculated FTIR and geometry parameters are in good agreement with previous experimental data. Donor-acceptor interaction energies are evaluated due to the importance of the charge transfer in the complex formation. It is observed that the free electrons of oxygen atom interact with the antibonding orbitals of the iron. Finally, some correlations between the quantum chemical reactivity indices of the complexes and solvent polarity are considered. The study indicates a linear correlation between chemical hardness and binding energies of [Fe(cat)3]3﹣?complex.展开更多

We present a systematic theoretical investigation on the dehydrogenation mecha- nisms of the Mg2（BH4）2（NH2）2 compounds. We found that dehydrogenation takes place most likely via the intermolecular process, which is favorable both kinetically and thermo- dynamically in comparison with that of the intramolecular process. The dehydrogenation of Mg2（BH4）2（NH2）2 initially takes place via the direct combination of the hydridie H in BH4 and the protie H in NH2-, followed by the formation of Mg-H and subsequent ionic recombination of Mg-Hδ-…Hδ＋-N.展开更多

With antibody fragment 1NQB as a template, the catalytic domain of scFv2F3 was built by using homology modeling and molecular dynamics（MD） simulations. On the basis of the 3D model, we discussed the importance of Ser52 as the chemical modification site and redesigned the protein groups nearby Ser52 via intro- ducing a catalytic triad. The following 10 ns MD results show that the designed Ser52-Trp29-Gln72 catalytic triad is stable enough and high close to the local structural features of native glutathione peroxidases（GPX）. Our results may be useful for creating a new abzyme with higher catalytic efficiency and stability.展开更多

The results indicate that the inhibition reactions with or without the catalytic effect of the catalytic triad in eholinesterases underwent a two-step addition-elimination mechanism, which is in good agreement with the proposed mechanism. The solvent has a strong effect on the inhibition reactions and the reaction with the catalytic triad in the solvent phase is close to the real reaction under biological condition.展开更多

The basis set used in this work is of double-（plus polariza- tion（DZP） quality with additional diffuse s- and p-type functions, denoted DZP＋＋. The geometries were fully optimized with each density functional theory（DFT） method, and discussed. Three different types of the neutral-anion energy separations reported in this work are the adiabatic electron affinity（AEA）, the vertical electron affinity（VEA）, and the vertical detachment energy（VDE）. An excellent agreement between our B3LYP results and those obtained by other calculations regarding the structural modifications and electron affinities of neutral and anion 5XU was found. The differences in charge distribution between uracil and halogenated uracils were indicated, thus the ability to form the hydrogen bonds of halogenated uracils was discussed. It shows the applicability of the DFT/DZP＋＋ method to predict the similar molecular models at a highly economical computational cost.展开更多

The geometries of all stationary points for these reactions were optimized using the B3 LYP method and then the QCISD method was used to calculate the single-point energies. The calculated results indicate that, there are one precursor complex（Q）, one transition state（TS）, and one intermediate（IM） which connect the reactants and the products along the potential energy surface. The insertion reactions of three-membered-ring silylenoid with Ge H3 R proceed in a concerted manner, forming H2RSi-Ge H3 and Li F. The calculated potential energy barriers of the three reactions are 29.17, 30.90, and 54.07 k J/mol, and the reaction energies for the three reactions are –127.05, –116.91, and –103.31 k J/mol, respectively. The insertion reactions in solvents are similar to those in vacuum. Under the same situation, the insertion reactions should occur easily in the following order： GeH 3-F GeH 3-OH GeH 3-NH2. The elucidations of the mechanism of these insertion reactions provided a new mode of silicon-germanium bond formation.展开更多

The binding energies of Fe2+ and Fe3+ in high-spin state are higher than intermediate and low-spin states which show that the complex formation in a high spin state is more favorable. The calculated binding energies at different solvents indicate that the binding energies in polar solvents are lower than non-polar solvents.

We also take the spectroscopic factor （Sp） into account in the calculation, which is evaluated in the relativistic mean field approach using the force NL3. The calculated results are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data.

文摘A series of dye molecules was designed theoretically.Particularly,azoles and their derivatives were chosen as the modifying groups linking to ancillary ligands of [Ru（dcbpyH2）2（NCS）2]（N3,dcbpy=4,4＇-dicarboxy2,2＇-bipyridine;NCS=thiocyanato）.Density functional theory（DFT） based approaches were applied to exploring the electronic structures and properties of all these systems.The dye molecule with 1,2,4-triazole groups which exhibits a very high intensity of absorption in visible region,was obtained.Time-dependent DFT（TD-DFT） results indicate that the ancillary ligand dominates the molecular orbital（MO） energy levels and masters the absorption transition nature to a certain extent.The deprotonation of anchoring ligand not only affects the frontier MO energy levels but also controls the energy gaps of the highest occupied MO（HOMO） to the lowest unoccupied MO（LUMO） and LUMO to LUMO＋1 orbital.If the gap between LUMO-LUMO＋1 is small enough,the higher efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cell（DSSC） should be expected.

文摘The single chain antibody scFv2F3 can be converted into selenium-containing Se-scFv2F3 by chemical mutation of the Ser residues. With antibody fragment 1NQB as a template, the catalytic domain of scFv2F3 was built by using homology modeling and molecular dynamics（MD） simulations. On the basis of the 3D model, we discussed the importance of Ser52 as the chemical modification site and redesigned the protein groups nearby Ser52 via intro- ducing a catalytic triad. The following 10 ns MD results show that the designed Ser52-Trp29-Gln72 catalytic triad is stable enough and high close to the local structural features of native glutathione peroxidases（GPX）. Our results may be useful for creating a new abzyme with higher catalytic efficiency and stability.

文摘The density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-311G（d, p） level was applied to exploring the inhibition mechanism of cholinesterases by carbamate. The results indicate that the inhibition reactions with or without the catalytic effect of the catalytic triad in eholinesterases underwent a two-step addition-elimination mechanism, which is in good agreement with the proposed mechanism. The solvent has a strong effect on the inhibition reactions and the reaction with the catalytic triad in the solvent phase is close to the real reaction under biological condition.

文摘The molecular structures and electron affinities of 5- and 6-halouracils（XU, X=F, Cl, Br） were determined by means of five different density functional methods. The basis set used in this work is of double-（plus polariza- tion（DZP） quality with additional diffuse s- and p-type functions, denoted DZP＋＋. The geometries were fully optimized with each density functional theory（DFT） method, and discussed. Three different types of the neutral-anion energy separations reported in this work are the adiabatic electron affinity（AEA）, the vertical electron affinity（VEA）, and the vertical detachment energy（VDE）. An excellent agreement between our B3LYP results and those obtained by other calculations regarding the structural modifications and electron affinities of neutral and anion 5XU was found. The differences in charge distribution between uracil and halogenated uracils were indicated, thus the ability to form the hydrogen bonds of halogenated uracils was discussed. It shows the applicability of the DFT/DZP＋＋ method to predict the similar molecular models at a highly economical computational cost.

文摘Theoretical investigations on the insertion reaction mechanisms of three- membered-ring silylenoid H2 Si Li F with GeH 3R（R = F, OH, NH2） have been systematically carried out by combined density functional theory（DFT） and ab initio quantum chemical calculations. The geometries of all stationary points for these reactions were optimized using the B3 LYP method and then the QCISD method was used to calculate the single-point energies. The calculated results indicate that, there are one precursor complex（Q）, one transition state（TS）, and one intermediate（IM） which connect the reactants and the products along the potential energy surface. The insertion reactions of three-membered-ring silylenoid with Ge H3 R proceed in a concerted manner, forming H2RSi-Ge H3 and Li F. The calculated potential energy barriers of the three reactions are 29.17, 30.90, and 54.07 k J/mol, and the reaction energies for the three reactions are –127.05, –116.91, and –103.31 k J/mol, respectively. The insertion reactions in solvents are similar to those in vacuum. Under the same situation, the insertion reactions should occur easily in the following order： GeH 3-F GeH 3-OH GeH 3-NH2. The elucidations of the mechanism of these insertion reactions provided a new mode of silicon-germanium bond formation.
