Among these, 11 products such as nitryl isocyanate (CN2O3), 5-nitro-1,3,5-triazinan-2-one (C3H6N4O3) and 1,5-dinitro-1,3,5-triazinan-2-one (C3H5N5O5) were detected for the first time in photodecomposition of RDX. Dose-dependent in combination with wavelength-dependent photolysis experiments aid to identify key primary and secondary products as well as distinguished pathways that are more preferred at lower and higher photon energies. Our experiments reveled that N-NO2 bond fission and nitro-nitrite isomerization are the initial steps in the UV photolysis of RDX. Reaction mechanisms are derived by comparing the experimental findings with previous electronic structure calculations to rationalize the origin of the observed products. The present study can assist in understanding the complex chemistry behind the photodissociation of electronically excited RDX molecule, thus bringing us closer to unraveling the decomposition mechanisms of nitramine-based explosives.The high stability of the experimentally known homoleptic 1-norbornyl derivative (nor)4Fe of iron in the unusual +4 oxidation state is a consequence of the high reaction barriers of the singlet or triplet potential surfaces constrained by the global dispersion attraction and the great steric demands of the norbornyl groups. The much more limited stability of the corresponding cyclohexyl derivative (cx)4Fe may result from the conical intersection between the singlet potential surface and the quintet spin potential surface arising from the weaker dispersion attraction and the reduced steric effect of the cyclohexyl groups relative to the 1-norbornyl groups. In contrast, the high stability of the likewise experimentally known (cx)4M (M = Ru or Os) structures results from the larger ligand field splitting (Δ) of the d-orbital energies for the second and third-row transition metals ruthenium and osmium relative to that of the first-row transition metal iron. The cyclohexyl derivative (cx)4Fe is predicted to be reactive toward carbon monoxide to insert CO into up to two Fe-C bonds. However, the dispersion effect as well as the much larger size of the 1-norbornyl substituents prevents similar reactivity of (nor)4Fe with carbon monoxide.Shape complementarity between catalyst and transition state structure is one of the cornerstones of chemical catalysis. Likewise, noncovalent interactions play a major role in catalysis. It has been predicted computationally and recently confirmed experimentally [Kroeger, A. A.; Hooper, J. F.; Karton, A. ChemPhysChem, 2020, 21, 1675-1681] that pristine graphene can efficiently catalyze chemical processes via π-interactions and shape complementarity. Here we show that other two-dimensional materials with different electronic structures and chemical compositions (h-BN and graphane) can also catalyze chemical processes that proceed via planar transition state structures. Monocrotaline These include the bowl-to-bowl inversions in corannulene and sumanene and the rotation about the C-C bond in substituted biphenyls. This catalytic activity is achieved through shape complementarity between planar nanomaterial and planar transition state structure, enabling disproportionate stabilization of the transition state structures over the nonplanar reactants and products. A DFT-based energy decomposition analysis shows that this catalytic activity is mainly driven by dispersion and electrostatic forces, which together outweigh the Pauli repulsion term. These findings enrich and expand the concept of catalysis by pristine 2D materials.Based on the valence configuration interaction (VCI) model and quantum chemical calculations, we theoretically investigate the potential of diazadibora-substituted phenanthrenes [(BN)2-phenanthrenes] as novel singlet fission (SF) chromophores. (BN)2-substitution to phenanthrene is performed to exhibit a captodative effect, which is found to enhance both diradical character and exchange integral. These enhanced parameters induced by (BN)2-substitution are shown to bring energetically favorable SF with high triplet excitation energies. In order to reveal the relationship between diradical character and positions replaced by (BN)2, analyses based on the VCI model, odd-electron density, and resonance structures are conducted. Accordingly, a concrete design principle, which is inherent in and is understandable from the topology of (BN)2-phenanthrene, is presented. Furthermore, design strategies to fine-tuning of the diradical character are newly demonstrated based on the additional introduction of π-donor and π-acceptor. The present results provide feasible candidate molecules and novel design strategies toward the discovery of bright SF chromophores for the application to efficient organic solar cells.The computationally expensive nature of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations severely limits its ability to simulate large system sizes and long time scales, both of which are necessary to imitate experimental conditions. In this work, we explore an approach to make use of the data obtained using the quantum mechanical density functional theory (DFT) on small systems and use deep learning to subsequently simulate large systems by taking liquid argon as a test case. A suitable vector representation was chosen to represent the surrounding environment of each Ar atom, and a Δ-NetFF machine learning model, where the neural network was trained to predict the difference in resultant forces obtained by DFT and classical force fields, was introduced. Molecular dynamics simulations were then performed using forces from the neural network for various system sizes and time scales depending on the properties we calculated. A comparison of properties obtained from the classical force field and the neural network model was presented alongside available experimental data to validate the proposed method.Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations have been instrumental in advancing our fundamental understanding of heterogeneously catalyzed reactions, with particular emphasis on structure sensitivity, ensemble effects, and the interplay between adlayer structure and adsorbate-adsorbate lateral interactions in shaping the observed kinetics. Yet, the computational cost of KMC remains high, thereby motivating the development of acceleration schemes that would improve the simulation efficiency. We present an exact such scheme, which implements a caching algorithm along with shared-memory parallelization to improve the computational performance of simulations incorporating long-range adsorbate-adsorbate lateral interactions. This scheme is based on caching information about the energetic interaction patterns associated with the products of each possible lattice process (adsorption, desorption, reaction etc.). Thus, every time a reaction occurs ("ongoing reaction"), it enables fast updates of the rate constants of "affected reactions", i.
