Abstract
Many organic reactions are characterized by a complex mechanism with a variety of transition states and intermediates of different chemical natures. Their correct and accurate theoretical characterization critically depends on the accuracy of the computational method used. In this work, we study a complex ambimodal cycloaddition with five transition states, two intermediates, and three products, and we ask whether density functional theory (DFT) can provide a correct description of this type of complex and multifaceted reaction. Our work fills a gap in that most systematic benchmarks of DFT for chemical reactions have considered much simpler reactions. Our results show that many density functionals not only lead to seriously large errors but also differ from one another in predicting whether the reaction is ambimodal. Only a few of the available functionals provide a balanced description of the complex and multifaceted reactions. The parameters varied in the tested functionals are the ingredients, the treatment of medium-range and nonlocal correlation energy, and the inclusion of Hartree-Fock exchange. These results show a clear need for more benchmarks on the mechanisms of large molecules in complex reactions.

Abstract
The double proton transfer (PT) reaction has been investigated in the [2,2'-bipyridyl]-3-3'-diol, a complex molecule where the proton movements is coupled to significant rearrangement of the electronic structure. Moreover, the reaction could be concerted, that is the two protons are exchanged simultaneously, or stepwise, where the two protons are transferred sequentially. To this end, a static exploration of the potential energy surface (PES) was carried together with the analysis of the free-energy surface (FES), both surfaces being evaluated at density functional theory level and different exchange-correlation functionals. While the concerted mechanism has been clearly discharged, the characteristics of the stepwise PT significantly depends on the chosen functionals, some suggesting a clear stepwise mechanism characterized by a stable reaction intermediates and two transitions states, whereas other approaches propend for a asynchronous PT, with a single TS. These features appear on both PES and FES, albeit some differences appears due to their different nature.

Abstract
Nowadays, fluorophores with a tetraphenylethylene (TPE) core are considered interesting due to the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior that enables their effective use in polymer films. We propose a novel TPE fluorophore (TPE-BPAN) bearing two dimethylamino push and a 4-biphenylacetonitrile pull moieties with the typical AIE characteristics in solution and in the solid state, as rationalized by DFT calculations. Five different host polymer matrices with different polarity have been selected: two homopolymers of poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate) (PCHMA) and three copolymers at different compositions (P(MMA-co-CHMA) 75:25, 50:50, and 25:75 mol%). The less polar comonomer of CHMA appeared to enhance TPE-BPAN emission with the highest quantum yield (QY) of about 40% measured in P(MMA-co-CHMA) 75:25. Further reduction in polymer polarity lowered QY and decreased the film stability and adhesion to the glass surface. LSC performances were not significantly affected by the matrix's polarity and resulted in around one-third of the state-of-the-art due to the reduced QY of TPE-BPAN. The theoretical investigation based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations clarified the origin of the observed AIE and the role played by the environment in modulating the photophysical behavior.

Abstract
Theoretical characterization of reactions of complex molecules depends on providing consistent accuracy for the relative energies of intermediates and transition states. Here we employ the DLPNO-CCSD(T) method with core-valence correlation, large basis sets, and extrapolation to the CBS limit to provide benchmark values for Diels-Alder transition states leading to competitive strained pentacyclic adducts. We then used those benchmarks to test a diverse set of wave function and density functional methods for the absolute and relative barrier heights of these transition states. Our results show that only a few of the tested density functionals can predict the absolute barrier heights satisfactorily, although relative barrier heights are more accurate. The most accurate functionals tested are ωB97M-V, M11plus, ωB97X-V, PBE-D3(0), M11, and MN15 with MUDs from best estimates less than 3.0 kcal. These findings can guide selection of density functionals for future studies of crowded, strained transition states of large molecules.

Abstract
Organic luminophores displaying one or more forms of luminescence enhancement in solid state are extremely promising for the development and performance optimization of functional materials essential to many modern key technologies. Yet, the effort to harness their huge potential is riddled with hurdles that ultimately come down to a limited understanding of the interactions that result in the diverse molecular environments responsible for the macroscopic response. In this context, the benefits of a theoretical framework able to provide mechanistic explanations to observations, supported by quantitative predictions of the phenomenon, are rather apparent. In this perspective, we review some of the established facts and recent developments about the current theoretical understanding of solid-state luminescence enhancement (SLE) with an accent on aggregation-induced emission (AIE). A description of the macroscopic phenomenon and the questions it raises is accompanied by a discussion of the approaches and quantum chemistry methods that are more apt to model these molecular systems with the inclusion of an accurate yet efficient simulation of the local environment. A sketch of a general framework, building from the current available knowledge, is then attempted via the analysis of a few varied SLE/AIE molecular systems from literature. A number of fundamental elements are identified offering the basis for outlining design rules for molecular architectures exhibiting SLE that involve specific structural features with the double role of modulating the optical response of the luminophores and defining the environment they experience in solid state.

Abstract
Considering as test case a family of organic rod like push-pull molecules, we derived and applied density based index enabling the description and diagnostic of the electronic density evolution in real time-time dependent density functional theory (RT-TDDFT) simulations. In particular, both the charge transfer (CT) distance and a diagnostic index, the DCT and MAC RT respectively, were computed on the fly from the density distribution obtained at a given time and the reference ground state density and their mean values were compared with what obtained at Linear Response-TDDFT level. Besides giving a way of analyzing the density redistribution occurring in time, these tools allowed to show how RT-TDDFT, which is definitely a powerful method to model the evolution of the density in CT or charge separation processes, can be affected by the same artifacts known for LR-TDDFT approaches and, particularly, to those related to the use of approximate exchange correlation functionals. The analysis here performed allowed to identify and discard on fly the electronic configurations corresponding to spurious situations.

Abstract
The absorption spectra of polymers derived from ortho, meta and para phenylenediamines (o-PDA, m-PDA and p-PDA) have been simulated combining periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations with time-dependent DFT simulations. These latter have been carried out on finite clusters embedded in a set of point charges devised to exactly reproduce the electrostatic potential of the periodic chains. The results are compared with those obtained for solvated o-PDA, m-PDA and p-PDA oligomers of increasing sizes extracted from the periodic structures. The electronic transitions involved have been investigated by a qualitative analysis based on isodensity maps completed by a quantitative analysis based on the density-based index (DCT ). For poly-(o)- and poly-(p)- phenylenediamines the agreement with the experimental data is achieved already by modeling solvated dimers whereas the inclusion of long-range electrostatic effects is mandatory for poly-(m)-phenylenediamine highlighting the importance of an accurate treatment of the electrostatic environment when a finite cluster approach is considered.

Abstract
N-Allenamides, substituted by an ester at the γ-position, were obtained through addition of terminal ynamides with ethyl diazoacetate under copper catalysis for the first time. Regio- and stereoselective hydroamination of those activated N-allenamides provided exclusively E-configured captodative enamimes through a one-pot anti-Michael addition. Numerous ynamides as well as various secondary amines were adapted in this process.

Abstract
By coupling an enhanced sampling algorithm with an orbital-localized variant of Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics, the so-called atomic centered density matrix propagation model, we reconstruct the free energy profiles along reaction pathways using different density functional approximations (DFAs) ranging from locals to hybrids. In particular, we compare the computed free energy barrier height of proton transfer (PT) reactions to those obtained by a more traditional static approach, based on the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC), for two case systems, namely malonaldehyde and formic acid dimer. The obtained results show that both the IRC profiles and the potentials of mean force, derived from biased dynamic trajectories, are very sensitive to the density functional approximation applied. More precisely, we observe that, with the notable exception of M06-L, local density functionals always strongly underestimate the reaction barrier heights. More generally, we find that also the shape of the free energy profile is very sensitive to the density functional choice, thus highlighting the effect, often neglected, that the choice of DFA has also in the case of dynamics simulations.

Abstract
A copper-mediated coupling reaction between ynamides and diazo-compounds to produce N-allenamides is reported for the first time. This method enables facile and rapid access to terminal N-allenamides by using commercially available TMS-diazomethane with wide functional group compatibility on the nitrogen. Furthermore, the ubiquity of molecules containing a fluorine moiety in medicine, in agricultural, and material science requires the continuous search of new building blocks, including this unique surrogate. The CuI/diazo protocol was successfully applied to the synthesis of fluorine-substituted N-allenamides. DFT calculations provided insights in the mechanism involved.

Abstract
Macrolactones constitute a privileged class of natural and synthetic products with a broad range of applications in the fine chemicals and pharmaceutical industry. Despite all the progress made towards their synthesis, notably from seco-acids, a macrolactonization promoter system that is effective, selective, flexible, readily available, and, insofar as possible, compatible with manifold functional groups is still lacking. Herein, we describe a strategy that relies on the formation of a mixed anhydride incorporating a pentafluorophenyl group which, due to its high electronic activation enables a convenient access to macrolactones, macrodiolides and esters with a broad versatility. Kinetic studies and DFT computations were performed to rationalize the reactivity of the pentafluorophenyl group in macrolactonization reactions.

Abstract
Transition Metal Complexes (TMCs) are known for the rich variety of their excited states showing different nature and degrees of locality. Describing the energies of these excited states with the same degree of accuracy is still problematic when using time-dependent density functional theory in conjunction with the most current density functional approximations. In particular, the presence of unphysically low lying excited states possessing a relevant Charge Transfer (CT) character may significantly affect the spectra computed at such a level of theory and, more relevantly, the interpretation of their photophysical behavior. In this work, we propose an improved version of the MAC index, recently proposed by the authors and collaborators, as a simple and computationally inexpensive diagnostic tool that can be used for the detection and correction of the unphysically predicted low lying excited states. The analysis, performed on five prototype TMCs, shows that spurious and ghost states can appear in a wide spectral range and that it is difficult to detect them only on the basis of their CT extent. Indeed, both delocalization of the excited state and CT extent are criteria that must be combined, as in the MAC index, to detect unphysical states.

Abstract
The significance of molecules containing difluoromethyl groups is driven by their potential applications in pharmaceutical and agrochemical science. Methods for the incorporation of lightly fluorinated groups such as CF2H have been less well developed. Here we report the use of difluorinated diazoacetone as a practical reagent for the direct synthesis of CF2H-substituted 2-amidofurans through addition to ynamides. These newly designed difluorinated amidofurans were elaborated to create new nitrogen-containing frameworks that would be challenging to obtain otherwise.

Abstract
We report herein an unprecedented combination of light and P(III)/P(V) redox cycling for the efficient deoxygenation of aromatic amine N-oxides. Moreover, we discovered that a large variety of aliphatic amine N-oxides can easily be deoxygenated by using only phenylsilane. These practically simple approaches proceed well under metal-free conditions, tolerate many functionalities and are highly chemoselective. Combined experimental and computational studies enabled a deep understanding of factors controlling the reactivity of both aromatic and aliphatic amine N-oxides.

Abstract
We present a generalization of a self-consistent electrostatic embedding approach (SC-Ewald) devised to investigate the photophysical properties of 3D periodic materials, to systems in one- or two-dimensional (2D) reduced periodicity. In this approach, calculations are carried out on a small finite molecular cluster extracted from a periodic model, while the crystalline environment is accounted for by an array of point charges which are fitted to reproduce the exact electrostatic potential (at ground or the excited state) of the infinite periodic system. Periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations are combined with time dependent DFT calculations to simulate absorption and emission properties of the extended system under investigation. We apply this method to compute the UV-Vis. spectra of bulk and quantum-confined 0D quantum dots and 2D extended nanoplatelets of CdSe, due to their relevance as sensitizers in solar cells technologies. The influence of the size and shape of the finite cluster model chosen in the excited state calculations was also investigated and revealed that, although the long-range electrostatics of the environment are important for the calculation of the UV-Vis, a subtle balance between short- and long-range effects exists. These encouraging results demonstrate that this self-consistent electrostatic embedding approach, when applied in different dimensions, can successfully model the photophysical properties of diverse material classes, making it an attractive low-cost alternative to far more computationally demanding electronic structure methods for excited state calculations.

Abstract
The combination of a Monte Carlo (MC) sampling of the configurational space with time dependent-density functional theory (TD-DFT) to estimate vertical excitations energies has been applied to compute the absorption spectra of a family of merocyanine dyes in both their monomeric and dimeric forms. These results have been compared to those obtained using a static DFT/TD-DFT approach as well as to the available experimental spectra. Though suffering of the limitations related to the use of DFT and TD-DFT for this type of systems, our data clearly show that the classical MC sampling provides a suitable alternative to classical molecular dynamics to explore the structural flexibility of these donor-acceptor (D-π-A) chromophores enabling a realistic description of the potential energy surface of both their monomers and aggregates (here dimers) and thus of their spectra. Overall, the combination of MC sampling with quantum mechanics (TD-DFT) calculations, carried out in implicit dioxane solvent on random snapshots, provides a workable compromise to solve the combined challenge of accuracy and time-consuming problem not only for merocyanines momers, but also for their dimers, up to now less investigated. Indeed, the simulated absorption spectra fairly agree with the experimental ones, suggesting the general reliability of the method.

Abstract
We investigate the performance of a set of recently introduced range-separated double-hybrid functionals, namely ωB2-PLYP, ωB2GP-PLYP, RSX-0DH, and RSX-QIDH models for hard-to-calculate excitation energies. We compare with the parent (B2-PLYP, B2GP-PLYP, PBE0-DH, and PBE-QIDH) and other (DSD-PBEP86) double-hybrid models as well as with some of the most widely employed hybrid functionals (B3LYP, PBE0, M06-2X, and ωB97X). For this purpose, we select a number of medium-sized intra- and inter-molecular charge-transfer excitations, which are known to be challenging to calculate using time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT) and for which accurate reference values are available. We assess whether the high accuracy shown by the newest double-hybrid models is also confirmed for those cases too. We find that asymptotically corrected double-hybrid models yield a superior performance, especially for the inter-molecular charge-transfer excitation energies, as compared to standard double-hybrid models. Overall, the PBE-QIDH and its corresponding range-separated RSX-QIDH functional are recommended for general-purpose TD-DFT applications, depending on whether long-range effects are expected to play a significant role.

Abstract
A formal [3+2] cyclization mediated by silver(I) oxide and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) is described herein. Through a broad variety of carbonyl compounds, this system can promote cyclization reactions with high yield (up to 85 %) and diastereoselectivity (up to 95:5) for a straightforward access to complex and congested dihydrofuran derivatives in one step under mild conditions. Based on DFT studies, the proposed mechanism would involve an allenyl silver intermediate.

Abstract
The field of organic photovoltaics has witnessed a steady growth in the last few decades and a recent renewal with the blossoming of single-material organic solar cells (SMOSCs). However, due to the intrinsic complexity of these devices (both in terms of their size and of the condensed phases involved), computational approaches to accurately predict their geometrical and electronic structure and to link their microscopic properties to the observed macroscopic behaviour are still lacking. In this work, we have focused on the rationalization of transport dynamics and we have set up a computational approach that makes a combined use of classical simulations and Density Functional Theory with the aim of disclosing the most relevant electronic and structural features of dyads used for SMOSC applications. As a prototype dyad, we have considered a molecule that consists in a dithiafulvalene-functionalized diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP), acting as an electron donor, covalently linked to a fulleropyrrolidine (Ful), the electron acceptor. Our results, beside a quantitative agreement with experiments, show that the overall observed mobilities result from the competing packing mechanisms of the constituting units within the dyad both in the case of crystalline and amorphous phases. As a consequence, not all stable polymorphs have the same efficiency in transporting holes or electrons which often results in a highly directional carrier transport that is not, in general, a desirable feature for polycrystalline thin-films. The present work, linking microscopic packing to observed transport, thus opens the route for the in silico design of new dyads with enhanced and controlled structural and electronic features.

Abstract
The development of efficient artificial leaves relies on the subtle combination of molecular assemblies able to absorb sunlight, converting light energy into electrochemical potential energy and finally transducing it into accessible chemical energy. The electronic design of these charge transfer molecular machines is crucial to build a complex supramolecular architecture for the light energy conversion. Here, we present an ab initio simulation of the whole decay pathways of a recently proposed artificial molecular reaction center. A complete structural and energetic characterization has been carried out with methods based on density functional theory, its time-dependent version, and a broken-symmetry approach. On the basis of our findings we provide a revision of the pathway only indirectly postulated from an experimental point of view, along with unprecedented and significant insights on the electronic and nuclear structure of intramolecular charge-separated states, which are fundamental for the application of this molecular assembly in photoelectrochemical cells. Importantly, we unravel the molecular driving forces of the various charge transfer steps, in particular those leading to the proton-coupled electron transfer final product, highlighting key elements for the future design strategies of such molecular assays.

Abstract
The perylene bisimide derivative Paliogen Black (P-black) is proposed as a new chromogenic probe that shows visible (vis) and near-infrared (NIR) responses after mechanical solicitations of host linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) films. P-black is reported to display strong absorption in the vis spectrum and unusual reflective and cooling features in the NIR region. Uniaxial deformation of the 2.5, 5, and 10 wt% P-black/LLDPE films yields a dichroic absorption under polarized light with color variations attributed by the computational analysis to the distinct anisotropic behavior of the transition dipole moments of P-black chromophores. When LLDPE films are deformed, P-black aggregates reduce their size from ≈30-40 µm to ≈5-10 µm that, in turn, causes reflectivity losses of about 30-40% at the maximum elongation. This gives rise to warming of 5-6 °C of the locally oriented film placed in contact with a black substrate under the illumination with an IR lamp for 5 s. These features combined with the high sensitivity of the vis-NIR response toward mechanical solicitations render P-black as a new solution to detect uniaxial deformations of plastic films through both optical and thermal outputs.

Abstract
Electrons and protons are the main actors in play in proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions, which are fundamental in many biological (i.e., photosynthesis and enzymatic reactions) and electrochemical processes. The mechanism, energetics and kinetics of PCET reactions are strongly controlled by the coupling between the transferred electrons and protons. Concerted PCET reactions are classified according to the electronical adiabaticity degree of the process. To discriminate among different mechanisms, we propose a new analysis based on the use of electron density based indexes. We choose, as test case, the 3-Methylphenoxyl/phenol system in two different conformations to show how the proposed analysis is a suitable tool to discriminate between the different degree of adiabaticity of PCET processes. The very low computational cost of this procedure is extremely promising to analyze and provide evidences of PCET mechanisms ruling the reactivity of many biological and catalytic systems.

Abstract
The anchoring group of a sensitizer may strongly affect the overall properties and stability of the resulting dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and dye-sensitized photoelectrosynthetic solar cells (DSPECs). The properties of seven perylene monoimide (PMI) dyes have been comprehensively studied for their immobilization on nanocrystalline NiO film. The PMI dyes differ only by the nature of the anchoring group, which are: carboxylic acid (PMI-CO2 H), phosphonic acid (PMI-PO3 H2 ), acetyl acetone (PMI-acac), pyridine (PMI-Py), aniline (PMI-NH2 ), hydroxyquinoline (PMI-HQ), and dipicolinic acid (PMI-DPA). The dyes are investigated by cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry and modeled by TD-DFT quantum chemical calculations. The mode of binding of these anchoring groups is investigated by infrared spectroscopy and the stability of the binding to NiO surface is studied by desorption experiments in acidic and basic media. The phosphonic acid group is found to offer the strongest binding to the NiO surface in terms of stability and dye loading. Finally, a photophysical study by ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy shows that all dyes inject a hole in NiO with rate constants on a subpicosecond timescale and display similar charge recombination kinetics. The photovoltaic properties of the dyes show that PMI-HQ and PMI-acac give the highest photovoltaic performances, owing to a lower degree of aggregation on the surface.

Abstract
The family of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (OIHPs) materials is one of the most promising for very high-efficiency photovoltaic solar cell application. In the present work, the effect of a series of self-assembled monolayers placed at the TiO2-perovskite junction, on the functioning of triple cation perovskite solar cells has been investigated. We show that employing 4-chlorobenzoic acid leads to the marked boosting of the solar cell performances. The starting pristine cell had a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.3% and the chemical engineering permitted to reach a PCE up to 21.35%. Our experimental study completed by density functional theory calculations and modeling show that this progress is due to the reduction of interfacial states, to the improvement of the quality of the OIHP material and to the structural continuity between TiO2 and the OIHP. Especially, we demonstrate that the interfacial chemical interactions are important to consider in the design of highly efficient devices.

Abstract
Here, we have studied, with a combined experimental and computational approach, the effect of the crystal environment and aggregation on the electronic properties of Pigment Red 179, which affect both its color and optical energy gap. Spectra acquired in the near-infrared and visible range of energies suggest that this molecule is indeed a "cool" dye, which can be employed as a red pigment that provides effective color coverage to different substrates without contributing to their heating during light irradiation. Spectra acquired on different polymer mixtures at different pigment concentrations (i.e., 2.5-10 wt %) suggest that absorption features depend on chromophoric arrangements promoted by the strong intermolecular π-π interactions. Calculations, performed at the time-dependent density functional theory level, allowed to both attribute the nature of the electronic transitions causing the observed spectra involved and understand the effect of the environment. Indeed, the visible spectra of the pigment is dominated by two localized transitions, with negligible charge transfer for both a dye monomer and dimer either in vacuum or acetonitrile solution. Instead, models including the crystal environment of the pigment show the presence of a high-wavelength S1 ← S0 charge transfer transition between two adjacent molecules, in quantitative agreement with the experimental absorption energy of the crystal pigment.

Abstract
In this research, the low-temperature single-step electrochemical deposition of arrayed ZnO nanowires (NWs) decorated by Au nanoparticles (NPs) with diameters ranging between 10 and 100 nm is successfully demonstrated for the first time. The AuNPs and ZnO NWs were grown simultaneously in the same growth solution in consideration of the HAuCl4 concentration. Optical, structural, and chemical characterizations were analyzed in detail, proving high crystallinity of the NWs as well as the distribution of Au NPs on the surface of zinc oxide NWs demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy. Individual Au NPs-functionalized ZnO NWs (Au-NP/ZnO-NWs) were incorporated into sensor nanodevices using an focused ion bean/scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM) scientific instrument. The gas-sensing investigations demonstrated excellent selectivity to hydrogen gas at room temperature (RT) with a gas response, Igas/Iair, as high as 7.5-100 ppm for Au-NP/ZnO-NWs, possessing a AuNP surface coverage of ∼6.4%. The concentration of HAuCl4 in the electrochemical solution was observed to have no significant impact on the gas-sensing parameters in our experiments. This highlights the significant influence of the total Au/ZnO interfacial area establishing Schottky contacts for the achievement of high performances. The most significant performance of H2 response was observed for gas concentrations higher than 500 ppm of H2 in the environment, which was attributed to the surface metallization of ZnO NWs during exposure to hydrogen. For this case, an ultrahigh response of about 32.9 and 47 to 1000 and 5000 ppm of H2 was obtained, respectively. Spin-polarized periodic density functional theory calculations were realized on Au/ZnO bulk and surface-functionalized models, validating the experimental hypothesis. The combination of H2 gas detection at RT, ultralow power consumption, and reduced dimensions makes these micro-nanodevices excellent candidates for hydrogen gas leakage detection, including hydrogen gas monitoring (less than 1 ppm).

Abstract
The ability to locate minima on electronic excited states (ESs) potential energy surfaces both in the case of bright and dark states is crucial for a full understanding of photochemical reactions. This task has become a standard practice for small- to medium-sized organic chromophores thanks to the constant developments in the field of computational photochemistry. However, this remains a very challenging effort when it comes to the optimization of ESs of transition metal complexes (TMCs), not only due to the presence of several electronic ESs close in energy, but also due to the complex nature of the ESs involved. In this article, we present a simple yet powerful method to follow an ES of interest during a structural optimization in the case of TMCs, based on the use of a compact hole-particle representation of the electronic transition, namely the natural transition orbitals (NTOs). State tracking using NTOs is unambiguously accomplished by computing the mono-electronic wave function overlap between consecutive steps of the optimization. Here, we demonstrate that this simple but robust procedure works not only in the case of the cytosine but also in the case of the ES optimization of a ruthenium nitrosyl complex which is very problematic with standard approaches. © 2019 The Authors.

Abstract
Ferrociphenols, especially those possessing a heterocycle at the terminus of an aliphatic chain, display strong anticancer activity through a novel redox mechanism that generates active metabolites such as quinone methides (QMs). X-ray crystallography and UV/Vis spectroscopy reveal that the specific lone pair (lp)-π interaction between a carbonyl group of the imide and the quinone motif of the QM plays an important role in the exceptional cytotoxic behaviour of their imido-ferrociphenol precursors. This intramolecular lp-π interaction markedly enhanced the stability of the QMs and lowered the pKa values of the corresponding phenol/phenolate couples. As the first example of such a non-covalent interaction that stabilizes QMs remotely, it not only expands the scope of the lp-π interaction in supramolecular chemistry, but also represents a new mode of stabilization of a QM. This unprecedented application of lp-π interactions in imido-ferrociphenol anticancer drug candidates may also have great potential in drug discovery and organocatalyst design.

Abstract
The use of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for the treatment of several kinds of cancer as well as bacterial, fungal or viral infections has received increasing attention during the last decade. However, the currently clinically approved photosensitizers (PSs) have several drawbacks, including photobleaching, slow clearance from the organism and poor water solubility. To overcome these shortcomings, many efforts have been made in the development of new types of PSs, such as Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes. Nevertheless, most studied Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes have a low absorbance in the spectral therapeutic window. In this work, we show that, by carefully selecting substituents on the polypyridyl complex, it is possible to prepare a complex absorbing at a much higher wavelength. Specifically, we report on the synthesis as well as in-depth experimental and theoretical characterisation of a Ru(II) polypyridyl complex (complex 3) combining a shift in absorbance towards the spectral therapeutic window with a high 1O2 production. To overcome the absence or poor selectivity of most approved PSs into targeted cells/bacteria, they can be linked to targeting moieties. In this line, compound 3 was designed with reactive aldehyde groups, which can be used as a highly versatile synthetic precursor for further conjugation. As a proof of concept, 3 was reacted with benzylamine and the stability of the resulting conjugate 4 was investigated in DMSO, PBS and cell media. 4 showed an impressive ability to act as a PDT PS with no measurable dark cytotoxicity and photocytotoxicity in the low micromolar range against cancerous HeLa cells from 450 nm up to 540 nm.

Abstract
A copper-catalysed hydroamination reaction of N-allenylsulfonamides with amines has been developed through a rational approach based on mechanistic studies. The reaction is promoted by a simple copper(I) catalyst and proceeds at room temperature with complete regioselectivity and excellent stereoselectivity towards linear (E)-N-(3-aminoprop-1-enyl)sulfonamides. Density Functional Theory (DFT) studies allow interpreting the key role of unsaturated substituents on nitrogen as ancillary coordinating moieties for the copper catalyst.
