Zaccaria F, Paragi G, Fonseca Guerra C.
PMID: 27185388
Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2016 Aug 21;18(31):20895-904. doi: 10.1039/c6cp01030j. Epub 2016 May 17.

The alkali metal ion affinity of guanine quadruplexes has been studied using dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D). We have done computational investigations in aqueous solution that mimics artificial supramolecular conditions where guanine bases assemble into stacked quartets as well...

Hydrogen bonds play a crucial role in many biochemical processes and in supramolecular chemistry. In this study, we show quantum chemically that neither aromaticity nor other forms of π assistance are responsible for the enhanced stability of the hydrogen...

Voronoi deformation density (VDD) charges: Assessment of the Mulliken, Bader, Hirshfeld, Weinhold, and VDD methods for charge analysis.

Journal of computational chemistry

PMID: 14648618
J Comput Chem. 2004 Jan 30;25(2):189-210. doi: 10.1002/jcc.10351.

We present the Voronoi Deformation Density (VDD) method for computing atomic charges. The VDD method does not explicitly use the basis functions but calculates the amount of electronic density that flows to or from a certain atom due to...

Supramolecular ring-versus-chain equilibria are ubiquitous in biological and synthetic systems. Understanding the factors that decide whether a system will fall on one side or the other is crucial to the control of molecular self-assembly. This work reports results with...

Stable Four-Coordinate Guanidinatosilicon(IV) Complexes with SiN3El Skeletons (El = S, Se, Te) and Si=El Double Bonds.
