The fundamental relation between electrohelicity and molecular optical activity

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

Electrohelicity arises in molecules such as allene and spiropentadiene when their symmetry is reduced and helical frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) appear. Such molecules are optically active and electrohelicity has been suggested as a possible design prin ...

Koopmans Spectral Functionals in Periodic Boundary Conditions

Nicola Marzari, Nicola Colonna, Edward Baxter Linscott, Riccardo De Gennaro

Koopmans spectral functionals aim to describe simultaneously ground-state properties and charged excitations of atoms, molecules, nanostructures, and periodic crystals. This is achieved by augmenting standard density functionals with simple but physically ...

Helical electronic transitions of spiroconjugated molecules

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

The two pi-systems of allene can combine into helical molecular orbitals (MOs), yet the helicity is lost in the pi-pi* transitions due to excited state mixing. In spiroconjugated molecules the relative orientation of the two pi-systems is different and con ...

Investigating Tetrel-Based Neutral Frustrated Lewis Pairs for Hydrogen Activation

Shubhajit Das

Tetrel Lewis acids are a prospective alternative to commonly employed neutral boranes in frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) chemistry. While cationic tetrylium Lewis acids, being isolobal and iso(valence)electronic, are a natural replacement to boranes, neutral t ...

Correlation between Optical Activity and the Helical Molecular Orbitals of Allene and Cumulenes

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

Helical frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) appear in disubstituted allenes and even-n cumulenes. Chiral molecules are optically active, but while these molecules are single-handed chiral, p-orbitals of both helicities are present. Here we computationally ex ...

X-ray absorption linear dichroism at the Ti K edge of anatase TiO2 single crystals

Majed Chergui, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Oliviero Cannelli, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Dominik Kinschel, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Jérémy Raymond Jean Maurice Rouxel

Anatase TiO2 (a-TiO2) exhibits a strong x-ray absorption linear dichroism in the pre-edge, the XANES and the EXAFS at the titanium K edge. In the pre-edge region, the behavior of the A1-A3 and B peaks originating from the 1s - 3d transitions is due to the ...
