A new manganese(ii) [MnII(DEMP)(NCS)(H2O)] (DEMP = Schiff base derived from salicylaldehyde and 2-diethylaminoethylamine) complex has been synthesized and characterized. The complex absorbs light ranging from 200–850 nm. Thus, the molecule is capable of harvesting the entire range of sunlight falling on earth.

Novel asymmetric monomeric monomethine cyanine dyes 5a–d, which are analogues of the commercial dsDNA fluorescence binder thiazole orange (TO), have been synthesized. The synthesis was achieved by using a simple, efficient and environmetally benign synthetic procedure to obtain these cationic dyes in good to excellent yields. Interactions of the new derivatives of TO with dsDNA have been investigated by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The longest wavelength absorption bands in the UV–vis spectra of the target compounds are in the range of 509–519 nm and these are characterized by high molar absorptivities (63000–91480 L·mol−1·cm−1). All investigated dyes from the series are either not fluorescent or their fluorescence is quite low, but they become strongly fluorescent after binding to dsDNA. The influence of the substituents attached to the chromophores was investigated by combination of spectroscopic (UV–vis and fluorescence spectroscopy) and theoretical (DFT and TDDFT calculations) methods.

In this study, a novel 6-(allylamino)-2-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione (NI3) was synthesized and characterized. Its copolymer with styrene was also obtained. The photophysical characteristics of NI3 were investigated in organic solvents and the results were compared with those of its structural analogue, 2-allyl-6-((2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)amino)-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione (NI4). The influences of the pH in the medium and different metal ions on the fluorescent intensity of monomers and polymers were also investigated. Computational tools (DFT and TDDFT calculations) were employed when studying the structure and properties of the 1,8-naphthalimide-based chromophores. Although the position of the N,N-dimethylaminoethylamine receptor fragment did not significantly impact proton detection, it was still important for detecting metal ion sensor ability, especially for monomeric 1,8-naphthalimide structures and their copolymers with styrene.

: In current work, the adsorption of Sulfanilamide (SLF) drug over B12N12 and Al12N12 fullerenes was studied using DFT and TDDFT calculations at the M06-2X/6-31+G** level in the solvent water for the first time. The adsorption effect of the SLF on the bonds length, electronic properties such as charge analysis, frontier molecular orbital (FMO), dipole moment and optical properties of B12N12 and Al12N12 fullerenes was investigated. The UV absorption spectra were calculated for study the significant changes are taking place in interactions between SLF and B12N12 and Al12N12 fullerenes. According to charge analysis, it is found that charge transfer occurs from SLF drug to fullerenes and from fullerene to SLF drug. The analysis of the LOL and ELF was shown the N-B and O-B bonds are greater than the other bonds, representing higher electron density localization and stronger covalent characteristic. The adsorption of the SLF from the head of N atom of sulfonamide group on the surface of B12N12 with the lower energy gap (EG) was more considerable than the head O atom and the N atom of NH2-Ar group. It is found that the applied B12N12 fullerene can be suitable as a drug carrier for the delivery of SLF drug.

Rationalization of energy gaps of atomically precise AGNRs, “bulk” (ΔΕac) or “zigzag-end” (ΔΕzz), could be challenging and controversial concerning their magnitude, origin, substrate influence (ΔΕsb), and spin-polarization, among others. Hereby, a simple self-consistent and “economical” interpretation is presented, based on “appropriate” DFT (and TDDFT) calculations, general symmetry principles, and plausibility arguments, which is fully consistent with current experimental measurements for 5-, 7-, and 9-AGNRs within less than 1%, although at variance with some prevailing views or interpretations for ΔΕac, ΔΕzz, and ΔΕsb. Thus, an excellent agreement between experiment and theory emerges, provided some established stereotypes are reconsidered and/or abandoned. The primary source of discrepancies is the finite length of AGNRs together with inversion-symmetry conflict and topological end/edge states, which invariably mix with other “bulk” states making their unambiguous detection/distinction difficult. This can be further tested by eliminating end-states (and ΔΕzz), by eliminating empty (non-aromatic) end-rings

The novel polyfluorinated thioalkyl-porfirazine 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octakis(1,1,1,2,2,-3,3,4,4-nonafluorohexylthio)-5,10,15,20-21H,23H-porfirazine was synthesized to investigate the fluorine effect on self-aggregation, electrochemical, and spectral properties of this class of tetrapyrrole macrocycles. This compound showed an ordered and quite thermally stable columnar discotic mesophase, never seen in non-fluorinated symmetrically substituted “free-base” thioalkyl-porphyrazines, revealing a significant effect of fluorine on molecular self-assembling properties. An important effect of fluorination was also observed on the spectral and electrochemical properties of the molecule, giving rise to a hypsochromic shift in the 400–700 nm range of UV-vis absorption spectrum and to a marked cathodic shift of the reduction potentials in respect to the non-fluorinated analogs. DFT and TDDFT calculations has been undertaken to elucidate the origin of the observed behavior. Interestingly, HOMO, LUMO, and band-gap values together with its mesomorphic properties make this compound a promising material for organic photovoltaics.
