We have investigated the solvent-dependence of structural changes along with intersystem crossing of a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecule, 3,4,5-tri(9H-carbazole-9-yl)benzonitrile (o-3CzBN), in toluene, tetrahydrofuran, and acetonitrile solutions using time-resolved infrared (TR-IR) spectroscopy and DFT calculations. We found that the geometries of the S1 and T1 states are very similar in all solvents though the photophysical properties mostly depend on the solvent. In addition, the time-dependent DFT calculations based on these geometries suggested that the thermally activated delayed fluorescence process of o-3CzBN is governed more by the higher-lying excited states than by the structural changes in the excited states.<br>

The deprotonation of S2B17H17 with sodium hydride and subsequent reaction with [PtCl2(PMe2Ph)2] gives the new macropolyhedral metallathiaborane [(PMe2Ph)2PtS2B16H16], of which the cluster consists of a conventional eleven-vertex nido {SB10} unit, fused, with two boron atoms in common, with a {PtSB8} unit of unique ten-vertex neo-arachno constitution and geometry. The latter geometry suggests a configuration for the previously structurally uncharacterised [B10H15]- anion; starting from this configuration, DFT calculations of structure and thence of boron nuclear shieldings, which are found very closely to mimic those found experimentally, thence support a fluxional structure for [B10H15]- with three {BHB(bridging)} and two {BH(endo)} hydrogen atoms around a six-membered open face.

The title compound, C31H30N2S2O6, possesses crystallographically imposed twofold symmetry with the two C atoms of the central benzene ring and the C atom of its methyl substituent lying on the twofold rotation axis. The two dansyl groups are twisted away from the plane of methylphenyl bridging unit in opposite directions. The three-dimensional arrangement in the crystal is mainly stabilized by weak hydrogen bonds between the sulfonyl oxygen atoms and the hydrogen atoms from the N-methyl groups. Stacking of the dansyl group is not observed. From the DFT calculations, the HOMO–LUMO energy gap was found to be 2.99 eV and indicates n→π* and π→π* transitions within the molecule.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to investigate Ti adsorption on BC2N nanotubes and the hydrogen adsorption capacity of Ti-coated structures. Different adsorption sites have been examined for the Ti adatom, and it is found that the most stable structure has a configuration with alternating columns of carbon and boron–nitrogen hexagons. The DFT calculations indicate that an adsorbed Ti atom on a carbon hexagon can bind four hydrogen molecules in molecular form, while Ti atoms on boron–nitride hexagons can adsorb three hydrogen molecules and two hydrogen atoms. Based on the calculations, the gravimetric efficiency corresponding to decoration of 67% of six carbon rings with Ti adatoms is estimated to be 8 wt %. Computation of the charge transfer reveals that the Ti atom on BC2N is in a cationic state. In addition, Ti adsorption has a significant influence on the electronic structure of the nanotubes and allows for the conversion of nanotubes from semiconductors in the pristine state to conductors upon doping. The interactions between the nanotubes, the Ti atom and hydrogen molecules have also been analyzed using Dewar coordination and Kubas interactions.

A series of 1-heteroatom-substituted vinyl p-tolyl sulfoxides were prepared and treated with organometallic reagents to evaluate which combination of sulfoxides and organometallic reagents yielded alkynes the most efficiently. The use of 1-chlorovinyl p-tolyl sulfoxide and isopropylmagnesium chloride was optimal for this purpose. A variety of 1-chlorovinyl p-tolyl sulfoxides were prepared from carbonyl compounds and chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide and were converted into alkynes via the sulfoxide/magnesium exchange reaction and subsequent Fritsch–Buttenberg–Wiechell (FBW) rearrangement of the resulting magnesium alkylidene carbenoids. The mechanism of the FBW rearrangement of magnesium alkylidene carbenoids was studied by using 13C-labeled sulfoxides and by using DFT calculations.
