Supramolecular transition-metal catalysts with tailored reaction environments allow for the usage of abundant 3d metals as catalytic centres, leading to more sustainable chemical processes. However, such are large and flexible systems intricate interactions, resulting in complex coordinates. To capture their dynamic nature, we developed a broadly applicable, high-throughput workflow, leveraging quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics molecular dynamics (QM/MM MD) explicit solvent, investigate...
In quantum chemistry, diffusion-controlled reactions are typically characterised by a monotonous rise in electronic energy, indicative of barrierless process. reality, this change energy is accompanied an increase entropy, thereby introducing barrier free energy. While standard chemical models fall short capturing phenomenon, we have developed cost-efficient method to address challenge. By tracking changes covalent bonding based on descriptors, can model the onset entropy along reaction...
N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) gold(I) complexes offer great prospects in medicinal chemistry as antiproliferative, anticancer, and antibacterial agents. However, further development requires a thorough understanding of their reaction behavior aqueous media. Herein, we report the conversion bromido[3-ethyl-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(2-methoxypyridin-5-yl)-1-propylimidazol-2-ylidene]gold(I) ((NHC)AuIBr, 1) complex acetonitrile/water mixtures to...
Olefin metathesis is one of the most significant transformations in organic chemistry and an excellent example for efficient homogeneous catalysis. Although currently used catalysts are primarily based on 4d 5d metals, cycloaddition cycloreversion reactions can also be attributed to first-row transition such as Fe. Surprisingly, potential Mn(I)-based olefin has been unexplored despite their prominence catalysis diagonal relationship Ru(II). In present study, we have investigated prospective...
We introduce PyConSolv, a freely available Python package that automates the generation of conformers metal- and nonmetal-containing complexes in explicit solvent, through classical molecular dynamics simulations. Using streamlined workflow interfacing with widely used computational chemistry software, PyConSolv is an all-in-one tool for any solvent. Input requirements are minimal; only geometry structure desired solvent xyz (XMOL) format needed. The can also account charged systems, by...
Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a neuropsychiatric disorder, caused by combination of genetic and environmental factors. The etiology behind the disorder remains elusive although it hypothesized to be associated with aberrant response neurotransmitters, such as dopamine glutamate. Therefore, investigating link between dysregulated metabolites distorted neurodevelopment holds promise offer valuable insights into underlying mechanism this complex disorder. In study, we aimed explore presumed...
Development of C-N coupling methodologies based on Earth-abundant metals is a promising strategy in homogeneous catalysis for sustainable processes. However, such systems suffer from deactivation and low catalytic activity. We here report that encapsulation Cu(I) within the phenanthroyl-containing calix[8]arene derivative 1,5-(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroyl)-2,3,4,6,7,8-hexamethyl-p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene (C8PhenMe6 ) significantly enhances activity up to 92 % yield reaction aryl halides...

The synthesis of imines denotes a cornerstone in organic chemistry. use alcohols as renewable substituents for carbonyl-functionality represents an attractive opportunity. Consequently, carbonyl moieties can be situ generated from upon transition-metal catalysis under inert atmosphere. Alternatively, bases utilized aerobic conditions. In this context, we report the benzyl and anilines, promoted by KO
