Herein, we report a semiconductive, proton-conductive, microporous hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) derived from phenylphosphonic acid and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[p-phenylphosphonic acid] porphyrin (GTUB5). The structure of GTUB5 was characterized using single crystal X-ray diffraction. A narrow band gap 1.56 eV extracted UV-Vis spectrum pure crystals, in excellent agreement with the 1.65 obtained DFT calculations. same also measured for DMSO. proton conductivity to be 3.00 × 10
Abstract A conductive phosphonate metal–organic framework (MOF), [{Cu(H 2 O)}(2,6‐NDPA) 0.5 ] (NDPA = naphthalenediphosphonic acid), which contains a 2D inorganic building unit (IBU) comprised of continuous edge‐sharing sheet copper polyhedra is reported. The IBUs are connected to each other via polyaromatic 2,6‐NDPA's, forming 3D pillared‐layered MOF structure. This MOF, known as TUB40, has narrow band gap 1.42 eV, record high average electrical conductance × 10 S m −1 at room temperature...

Abstract Herein, a simple way of tuning the optical and structural properties porphyrin‐based hydrogen‐bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) is reported. By inserting transition metal ions into porphyrin cores GTUB‐5 ( p ‐H 8 ‐TPPA (5,10,15,20‐Tetrakis[p‐phenylphosphonic acid] HOF), authors show that it possible to generate HOFs with different band gaps, photoluminescence (PL) life times, textural properties. The gaps resulting (viz., Cu‐, Ni‐, Pd‐, Zn‐GTUB‐5) are measured by diffuse reflectance...
In this article, an implementation of the newest iteration Minnesota solvation model, SM12, into Amsterdam density functional (ADF) computational package is presented. ADF makes exclusive use Slater-type orbitals (STO), which correctly represent true atomic for atoms, whereas SM12 and underlying charge model 5 (CM5) have previously only been tested on Gaussian-type (GTO). This new used to prove basis set independence both CM5 SM12. A detailed comparison COSMO models, as implemented in ADF,...
Acrylamides are the most commonly used warheads of targeted covalent inhibitors (TCIs) directed at cysteines; however, reaction mechanisms acrylamides in proteins remain controversial, particularly for those involving protonated or unreactive cysteines. Using combined semiempirical quantum mechanics (QM)/molecular (MM) free energy simulations, we investigated between afatinib, first TCI drug cancer treatment, and Cys797 EGFR kinase. Afatinib contains a β-dimethylaminomethyl (β-DMAM)...
