Abstract
Density functional theory was used to study the insertion reaction of stannylenoid H2SnLiF with CH3X, SiH3X (X = F, Cl, Br). Comparing the reaction barrier of H2SnLiF with CH3X, SiH3X, it can be found that the order of the difficulty of insertion reaction is F > Cl > Br. The insertion reaction potential barrier of SiH3X is lower than that of CH3X, which means that SiH3X is easier to react. According to the calculation results, the reaction law in THF solvent is consistent with that in vacuum, while in THF solvent, the barrier is lower and therefore more prone to reactions. This work provides theoretical support for the reaction properties of stannylenoids.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nowadays, propulsion materials are receiving increased attention as an important component in electric motors. So, awareness of their chemical reactivity and geometric and electronic structures can help to make materials with higher quality and efficiency. In this study, we have proposed novel glycidyl nitrate copolymers (GNCOPs) and meta-substituted derivatives as propulsion materials. METHOD Based on density functional theory (DFT) method, chemical reactivity indices have been calculated for predicting their behavior in burning process. RESULT AND DISSCUSSION Adding functional groups changes reactivity of the GNCOP compound, especially, in the -CN functional group, chemical potential, chemical hardness, and electrophilicity change -0.374, +0.007, and +1.342eV, respectively. In addition, these compounds have dual properties in interaction with oxygen molecule. Optoelectronic study in time-dependent DFT framework shows that there are three peaks with significant excitations. CONCLUSION In conclusion, adding functional group into the GNCOPs can introduce new materials with high energetic properties.

Abstract
In this study, truxene, along with its nitrogen- and sulphur-substituted counterparts were investigated for their properties. The important characteristic properties of a potential conducting material such as HOMO-LUMO gap, electron affinity, ionization potential, and density of states were calculated and compared for analysis. Furthermore, Fukui function and dual descriptor analyses were also carried out, to identify the reactive sites in each of the molecules, as well as understand the effect of substituted heteroatoms. It was seen that the di-substituted candidates were convincingly better fitting for optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Efficient reduction of nitrogen to ammonia at a minimal cost would require a recherche catalyst tailored by assimilating the inherent electronic and reactive nature of Single Atom Catalysts (SACs) on heteroatom doped-graphene. A full-scale DFT study accounting for disparate descriptions of atomic orbitals and representation of support, has been carried out to identify the most active and recyclable SAC/B-graphene composite as catalyst for Nitrogen Reduction Reaction (NRR). Dual and Multiphilic descriptors derived reactivity pattern of six different metal SACs V, Fe, Ni, Ru, W and Re on periodic and non-periodic paradigms of pristine and BN-pair doped graphene supports, align with the calculated chemisorption efficacy and activation of N2. The enzymatic route of nitrogen reduction on three most ideal metal SACs (V, W and Re) culminates Vanadium SAC, a relatively cheaper metal, anchored on BNring-graphene with an energy barrier of ⩽1.24 eV as a highly active and recyclable catalyst for NRR.

Abstract
An alternative way of calculating the Fukui function and the partial derivative of second order of the electronic density with respect to the number of electrons N is presented, the new formulas agree with the usual ones but only in cases without degeneracy. The new operative formulas are more general than the previous ones and are the right ones for those problematic cases where one or both of the frontier molecular orbitals are degenerate. Finally, we present a new way of applying the finite difference approximation that leads to more realistic results than the usual formulas. Graphical abstract A new way of calculating the Fukui function is presented that results in a new operative formula of the function. It has also been obtained the partial derivative of second order of the electronic density with respect to the number of electrons N, and it agree with the usual formula of the dual descriptor function but only in cases without degeneration.

Abstract
In this computational study, ten density functionals, viz. CAM-B3LYP, LC-ω PBE, M11, M11L, MN12L, MN12SX, N12, N12SX, ω B97X, and ω B97XD, related to the Def2TZVP basis sets, are assessed together with the SMD solvation model for calculation of the molecular properties and structure of blue-M2 intermediate melanoidin pigment. All the chemical reactivity descriptors for the system are calculated via conceptual density functional theory (DFT). The active sites suitable for nucleophilic, electrophilic, and radical attacks are selected by linking them with the Fukui function indices, electrophilic Parr functions, and condensed dual descriptors Δf(r), respectively. The prediction of the maximum absorption wavelength is considerably accurate relative to its experimental value. The study reveals that the MN12SX and N12SX density functionals are the most appropriate density functionals for predicting the chemical reactivity of the molecule under study.

Abstract
Aromatase is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily responsible for a key step in the biosynthesis of estrogens. As estrogens are involved in the control of important reproduction-related processes, including sexual differentiation and maturation, aromatase is a potential target for endocrine disrupting chemicals as well as breast cancer therapy. In this work, 3D-QSAR combined with quantitative profile of protein-ligand interactions was employed in the identification and characterization of critical steric and electronic features of aromatase-inhibitor complexes and the estimation of their quantitative contribution to inhibition potency. Bioactivity data on pIC50 values of 175 steroidal and 124 azaheterocyclic human aromatase inhibitors (AIs) were used for the 3D-QSAR analysis. For the quantitative description of the effects of the hydrophobic contact and nitrogen-heme-iron coordination on aromatase inhibition, the hydrophobicity density field model and the smallest dual descriptor Δf(r) S were introduced, respectively. The model revealed that hydrophobic contact and nitrogen-heme-iron coordination primarily determines inhibition potency of steroidal and azaheterocyclic AIs, respectively. Moreover, hydrogen bonds with key amino acid residues, in particular Asp309 and Met375, and interaction with the heme-iron are required for potent inhibition. Phe221 and Thr310 appear to be quite flexible and adopt different conformations according to a substituent at 4- or 6-position of steroids. Flexible docking results indicate that proper representation of the residues' flexibility is critical for reasonable description of binding of the structurally diverse inhibitors. Our results provide a quantitative and mechanistic understanding of inhibitory activity of steroidal and azaheterocyclic AIs of relevance to adverse outcome pathway development and rational drug design.

Abstract
Six organometallic compounds coming from a basic Mo-based complex were analyzed from the perspective of the dual descriptor in order to detect subtle influences that a substituent group could exert on the reactive core at a long range. Since the aforementioned complexes are open-shell systems, the used operational formula for the dual descriptor is that one defined for those aforementioned systems, which was then compared with spin density. In addition, dual descriptor was decomposed into two terms, each of which was also applied on every molecular system. The obtained results indicated that components of dual descriptor could become more useful than the operational formula of dual descriptor because differences exerted by the substituents at the para position were better detected by components of dual descriptor rather than the dual descriptor by itself.

Abstract
In the present work, a new methodology defined for obtaining reactivity indices (philicities) is proposed. This is based on reactivity functions such as the Fukui function or the dual descriptor, and makes it possible to project the information from reactivity functions onto molecular orbitals, instead of onto the atoms of the molecule (atomic reactivity indices). The methodology focuses on the molecules' natural bond orbitals (bond reactivity indices) because these orbitals have the advantage of being localized, allowing the reaction site of an electrophile or nucleophile to be determined within a very precise molecular region. This methodology provides a "philicity" index for every NBO, and a representative set of molecules has been used to test the new definition. A new methodology has also been developed to compare the "finite difference" and the "frontier molecular orbital" approximations. To facilitate their use, the proposed methodology as well as the possibility of calculating the new indices have been implemented in a new version of UCA-FUKUI software. In addition, condensation schemes based on atomic populations of the "atoms in molecules" theory, the Hirshfeld population analysis, the approximation of Mulliken (with a minimal basis set) and electrostatic potential-derived charges have also been implemented, including the calculation of "bond reactivity indices" defined in previous studies. Graphical abstract A new methodology defined for obtaining bond reactivity indices (philicities) is proposed and makes it possible to project the information from reactivity functions onto molecular orbitals. The proposed methodology as well as the possibility of calculating the new indices have been implemented in a new version of UCA-FUKUI software. In addition, this version can use new atomic condensation schemes and new "utilities" have also been included in this second version.
