چکیده

Various kinds of roles of the water molecules in the electronic states of the complexes of metal ions (M ) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are reviewed. Divalent metal ions M like Fe, Mn, Zn and so on, form Metal-DNA complexes (M -DNA) with each metal ion between the bases of a base pair of DNA. The electronic states of the complexes depend on the species of ions in M -DNA. Metal ions in Fe-DNA and Mn-DNA possess 3d magnetic moments, but those in Zn-DNA do not. Interestingly, the magnetic property of the complexes, especially the magnetic interaction between the metal ions, is dominated by water molecules in the complexes. In Fe-DNA, the water molecules play a role of ligands for the iron ions, which controls the spin states of Fe, whereas they govern the magnetic interaction between the Mn ions in Mn-DNA. In contrast, Zn-DNA has no 3d magnetic moment, but the water molecules dominate the bonding states of the Zn ions and the magnetic states of the Zn-DNA system.

Electronic effects at 2 and 7 α–position of divalent unsaturated seven membered ring R2C6H6M (M=C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb)

Electronic effects were investigated on the singlet–triplet energy gaps of divalent unsaturated seven- membered ring R2C6H6M (M=C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, R= –H, -CH3, i-Pr , t-Bu) at B3LYP/6-311++G** level. All the triplet states of R2C6H6C were more stable than the related the singlet states while all the singlet states of R2C6H6M (M= Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, R= –H, -CH3, i-Pr , t-Bu) were more stable than th...

NH3 sensors based on novel TiO2/MoS2 nanocomposites: Insights from density functional theory calculations

Density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate the interactions of NH3 molecules with TiO2/MoS2 nanocomposites in order to completely exploit the adsorption properties of these nanocomposites. Given the need to further comprehend the behavior of the NH3 molecules oriented between the TiO2 nanoparticle and MoS2 monolayer, we have geometrically optimized the complex systems ...

Theoretical investigation of the implicit effects water molecules and resonance interactions on structural stability and NMR tensors of hallucinogenic harmine by density functional calculations

Abstractl Density functional theory (DFT) was used to investigate the effects of intra-moecular interactions and implicit water molecules on the relative stability and the NMR shielding tensors of hallucinogenic harmine in the monomeric and dimeric states. Results represented that the relative stability and the NMR shielding tensors are dependent on the resonance interactions and chemical envir...
