By combining mechanochemical synthesis and calorimetry with theoretical calculations, we demonstrate that dispersion-corrected periodic density functional theory (DFT) can accurately survey the topological landscape and predict relative energies of polymorphs for a previously inaccessible fluorine-substituted zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF). Experimental screening confirmed two out of three theoretically anticipated polymorphs, and the calorimetric measurements provided an excellent match to theoretically calculated energetic difference between them.<br>

Ibrutinib, a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase that plays an essential role in the B-cell development and cancer cells, has been recently approved to treat chronic, lymphocytic, and other types of leukemia. This study focused on investigating ibrutinib by its electronic transitions, vibrational frequencies, and electrospray mass spectra. The experimental peaks for electronic spectrum were found at 248.0 and 281.0 nm, whereas the νC = 0 stretching frequency was found at 1652.4 and 1639.19 cm−1. These experimental properties were compared with the corresponding theoretical calculations in which density functional theory was applied. The optimized structure was obtained with the calculations using a hybrid function (B3LYP) and high-level basis sets [6-311G++(d,p)]. Most of the calculated vibrational frequencies showed a relatively good agreement with the experimental ones. The electronic transitions of ibrutinib calculated using time-dependent DFT method were performed at two different solvation methods: PCM and SMD. The mass spectrum of ibrutinib, its fragments, and its isotopic pattern agreed well with the expected spectra.

Spin-polarized DFT calculations were used to investigate the atomic, electronic structures of LaCoO3and La1−xSrxCoO3surfaces. The thermodynamic stability of these surfaces was analyzed with phase diagrams. Influence of Sr-doping was also examined.

We calculate excitation spectra of cubic perovskites ATiO3 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba, Pb). The calculations are performed within the time-dependent density functional theory, including local field effects. The theoretical calculations show that the perovskites have a plasmon mode at around 12 eV, which is not observed in experiments.

In this work, the necessity of synthesis of 1,3-di(hetero)aryl-7-substituted pyrenes is presented based on the results of theoretical calculations by using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) by using Gaussian 09 program with B3LYP exchange-correlation functional and 6-31G** basis set. What is more, the synthetic routes with feasible reagents and conditions are presented. The subject of theoretical considerations are two pyrene derivatives which contain at position 1 and 3 pyrazolyl substituents and at position 7 amine (1) or boron (2) derivative. The theoretical calculations were also performed for the osmium complexes with mentioned ligands (3 and 4). The influence of electron-donating/accepting character of the substituent at position 7 of pyrene on the properties of molecules has been established.

Zinc oxide ( ZnO ) electrical properties can be modified by addition of impurities or defects such as vacancies or other substances. We use sulfur ( S ) as a substitutional impurity and present a theoretical study on the characteristics of ZnO structures in its crystal form containing S in substitution of O . For theoretical calculations we used Density Functional Theory (DFT) with pseudopotentials and plane waves. ZnO in crystal form with S in substitution of O at heavy percentage was studied by analyzing properties like lattice characteristics, total energy, and gap energy. Lattice parameters a, b, c, and c/a ratio increase with the S -substituent percentage while the crystal stability decreases. Variation of gap energy shows a decreasing trend with increasing amount of substitution. In this paper, we provide a detailed data useful to identify the effects on ZnO in its crystal form when O is replaced by S that will help to predict if the structural changes on the modified ZnO structures may be suitable for applications in opto-electronics.
