AbstractThe interaction between metal atoms and nucleobases has been a topic of high interest due to the wide scientific and technological implications. Combining density functional theory simulations with a literature overview, we achieved an exhaustive study of the ground state electronic properties of DNA/RNA nucleobases interacting with gold and silver atoms at three charge states: neutral, cationic, and anionic. We describe the nature of the stability and electronic properties in each hybrid metallic structure. In addition to the metal interacting with the five isolated nucleobases, we included their respective DNA-WC base pairs and one case with the protonated sugar-phosphate backbone. As a general trend, we discerned that the energetic ordering of isomers follows simple electrostatic rules as expected from previous studies. Also, we found that although the metal localizes almost all of the extra charge in the anionic system, a donation of charge is shared almost equally in the cationic system. Furthermore, the frontier orbitals of the cationic system tend to have more effects from the pairing and inclusion of the backbone than the anionic system. Finally, the electronic gap varies greatly among all of the considered structures and could be further used as a fingerprint when searching DNA-metal hybrid structures.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the structures of chloro silsesquioxanes Si2nO3nCl2n (n=1-5). Our study focuses on the structures, stabilities, and electronic properties of the chloro silsesquioxanes. The large HOMO–LUMO gaps, which range from 4.54 to 7.39 eV, imply optimal electronic structures for these molecules.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the structures of trifluoromethyl silsesquioxanes Si2nO3n(CF3)2n(n=1-5). Our study focuses on the structures, stabilities, and electronic properties of the trifluoromethyl silsesquioxanes. The large HOMO–LUMO gaps, which range from 5.38 to 8.02 eV, imply optimal electronic structures for these molecules.

The present work utilizes density functional theory (DFT) calculations to study the influence of cation–π interactions on the electronic properties of the complexes formed by Altretamine [2,4,6-tris(dimethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine], an anticancer drug, with mono- and divalent (Li+, Na+, K+, Be2+, Mg2+ and Ca2+) metal cations. The structures were optimized with the M06-2X method and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set in the gas phase and in solution. The theory of `Atoms in Molecules' (AIM) was applied to study the nature of the interactions by calculating the electron density ρ(r) and its Laplacian at the bond critical points. The charge-transfer process during complexation was evaluated using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. The results of DFT calculations demonstrate that the strongest/weakest interactions belong to Be2+/K+ complexes. There are good correlations between the achieved densities and the amounts of charge transfer with the interaction energies. Finally, the stability and reactivity of the cation–π interactions can be determined by quantum chemical computation based on the molecular orbital (MO) theory.
