The synthesis of dicationic extended bis-benzimidazoles

The synthesis of extended dicationic bis-benzimidazoles starting from trans-1,2-bis(4-cyanophenyl)ethene and trans-1,2-bis(4-cyanophenyl)cyclopropane is reported. The target diamidines show significant in vitro activity against B. subtilis.     

First derivatives of correlated wave functions by a matrix-oriented method: Preliminary application to molecular dipole and quadrupole moments

A direct, matrix-oriented procedure in the context of the self-consistent electron pairs (SCEP) method has been implemented for the evaluation of first derivatives of the energy of a variational configuration interaction wavefunction. This has been applied in calculating dipole and quadrupole moments of the correlated charge distributions of several small molecules. As already established, the analytical differentiation being carried out yields properties slightly different than those calculated by integration with the one-electron density. The matrix-oriented analytical differentiation is computationally competitive with construction of the one-electron density.     

Surface passivation of luminescent colloidal quantum dots with poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) through a ligand exchange process

Polydimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (PDMAEMA) was used as a multidentate ligand to modify the surface of CdSe/ZnS core-shell colloidal quantum dots in toluene with trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) as the surface ligand. Adsorption of PDMAEMA was accompanied by release of TOPO. The process is free of agglomeration, and the modified nanocrystals become soluble in methanol. The photoluminescence properties are well-preserved in either toluene or methanol.     

An open-ended self-consistent field method. A simulation of a molecular orbital technique for small memory computers

The steps in a nonconventional algorithm for self-consistent field calculations are outlined, and calculations on cumulenes are given to demonstrate the convergence properties of the method. The approach is essentially open ended and is likely to be cost effective on computer systems with minimal core.

Stages of chaotic synchronization

In an experimental investigation of the response of a chaotic system to a chaotic driving force, we have observed synchronization of chaos of the response system in the forms of generalized synchronization, phase synchronization, and lag synchronization to the driving signal. In this paper we compare the features of these forms of synchronized chaos and study their relations and physical origins. We found that different forms of chaotic synchronization could be interpreted as different stages of nonlinear interaction between the coupled chaotic systems.

Efficient calculation of electrically based intermolecular potentials of weakly bonded clusters

Electrical interactions between molecules are important effects in weak and long-range attractions. With quantum mechanical techniques now capable of yielding values of all multipole polarizabilities, hyperpolariabilities, and beyond, exhaustive treatment of electrical interaction is no longer out of the question. An efficient computational strategy is presented for the evaluation of electrical interaction energies to any desired level for small, medium, and large (ca. 100 molecules) clusters. With incorporation of repulsive, hard-wall potentials, global surfaces may be examined. Example calculations are presented.
