The new pyrazolate-bridged proligand 4-methyl-3,5-bis{6-(2,2'-bipyridyl)}pyrazole ((Me)LH) has been synthesized. Similar to its congener that lacks the backbone methyl substituent ((H)LH) it forms a robust Fe(II)4 grid complex, [(Me)L4Fe(II)4](BF4)4. The molecular structure of [(Me)L4Fe(II)4](BF4)4·2MeCN has been eluc…

Large databases of chemical reactions provide new data-mining opportunities and challenges. Key challenges result from the imperfect quality of the data and the fact that many of these reactions are not properly balanced or atom-mapped. Here, we describe ReactionMap, an efficient atom-mapping algorithm. Our approach u…

We present tight-binding calculations in the random-phase approximation of the optical response of Silicon nanocrystals (Si NCs) ideally doped with large concentrations of phosphorus (P) atoms. A collective response of P-induced electrons is demonstrated, leading to localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) when a Si…

Ternary mixtures of medium-chain fatty alcohols, water and a hydrotrope (such as ethanol), near the immiscibility gap, make stable single phases at constant temperature. Interestingly, in this `pre-ouzo region' these single phases consist of two distinct nanoscopic pseudo-phases, one octanol-rich and one water-rich. T…

The binary compounds FeSi, RuSi, and OsSi are chiral insulators crystallizing in the space group P2_13 which is cubic. By means of ab initio calculations we find for these compounds a non-vanishing electronic Berry phase, the sign of which depends on the handedness of the crystal. There is thus the possibility that th…
