Aromaticity-Induced Spin State Switching and High-Spin States in Non-Alternant Polyradicals. [PDF]
The peculiar topology of some non‐alternant systems allows such a degree of freedom in favored spin‐alignment between unpaired electrons that the polyradical can be in low‐, intermediate‐, and high‐spin ground state. Thus, the modulation of resonance energy upon distortions of pro‐aromatic units via external stimuli may result in switching the lowest ...

Chemical Information From the Ehrenfest Force Field Based on Reduced Density Matrix Functional Theory. [PDF]
Reduced Density Matrix Functional Theory is evaluated as a practical route to approximate the exchange‐correlation contribution to the Ehrenfest force field. Across molecules from diatomics to polyatomics, it reproduces key bonding features and force‐field topologies while exposing limits in strongly correlated cases, enabling EhF analysis in larger ...

Protein-Driven Copper Redox Regulation: Uncovering the Role of Disulphide Bonds and Allosteric Modulation. [PDF]
Copper binding triggers structural changes that expose a reactive disulphide bridge, enabling intrinsic Cu(II) reduction in folded proteins. SAXS, XAS, and QM/MM simulations reveal how globular proteins such as HSA and SOD1 employ disulphide‐mediated dynamics to modulate site accessibility and control copper redox chemistry.

Stable 1,3,2-Benzodithiazolyl Radicals: Modification of Reactivity, Crystal Packing, and Solid State Magnetic Properties by Fluorination. [PDF]
Fluorination reduces solid‐state thermal stability of 1,3,2‐benzodithiazolyl radicals and modulates crystal structures (e.g., by means of a new supramolecular zip‐synthon) and reactivity, in the latter case toward transformations unknown in the hydrocarbon series but potentially general in the fluorocarbon one.
