- This work describes a synthetic approach where a non-planar aromatic heterocyclic [7]helicene is compressed to yield a hetero[8]circulene containing an inner antiaromatic cyclooctatetraene (COT) core. This [8]circulene consists of four benzene rings and four heterocyclic rings, and it is the first heterocyclic [8]circulene containing three different heteroatoms. The synthetic pathway proceeds via a the flattened dehydro-hetero[7]helicene, which is partially a helicene and partially a circulene: it is non-planar and helically chiral as helicenes, and contains a COT motif like [8]circulenes. The antiaromaticity of the COT core is confirmed by nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) calculations. The planarization from a helically π-conjugated [7]helicene to a fully planar heterocyclic [8]circulene significantly alters the spectroscopic properties of the molecules. Post-functionalization of the [7]helicenes and the [8]circulenes by oxygenation of the thiophene rings to the corresponding thiophene-sulfones allows an almost complete fluorescence emission coverage of the visible region of the optical spectrum (400–700 nm).

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A series of three star-shaped compounds containing both donor (carbazole) and acceptor (2,4,6-triphenyl-1,3,5-triazine) moieties linked through various linking bridges was studied theoretically at the linear response TD-DFT level of theory to describe their absorption and fluorescence spectra. The concept of a localized charge-transfer excited state has been applied successfully to explain the observed strong solvatochromic effect in the emission spectra of the studied molecules, which can be utilized for the fabrication of color tunable solution-processable OLEDs. The concept is in particularly applicable to donor–acceptor species with a C3 symmetry point group where the static dipole moment changes dramatically upon electronic excitation. An important peculiarity of the studied molecules is that they are characterized by non-zero values of the HOMO and LUMO orbitals in the same common part of molecular space that provides a large electric dipole transition moment for both light absorption and emission.

- The self-recombination reactions of 4-aminophenyl cations and parent phenyl cations, each in ground triplet states, are studied within the framework of density functional theory. Only the total zero spin (singlet state) is chosen, as the quintet and triplet counterparts are nonreactive in these systems. The recombination products are the benzidine and biphenyl doubly charged cations. These species are unexpectedly stable. The transition state of the 4-aminophenyl cations reaction is located at the distance of about 4.0 Å between the ipso-carbon atoms. The activation barrier is predominantly formed by electrostatic repulsion between two cations and is estimated to be 27.6 kcal mol−1 [B3LYP/6–311+G(d,p)]. Similar results are obtained for the phenyl cations recombination. The general importance of the participation of other aryl cations in analogous organic reactions is discussed.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Two single-bonded 2D nitrogen allotropes of the honeycomb (A7) and zigzag sheet (ZS) topology have been calculated using density functional theory (DFT). The optical (vibrational, absorption, nuclear magnetic resonance), thermodynamic and elastic properties of the A7 and ZS sheets have been calculated for the first time. The band structure calculation have revealed a semiconducting nature of the ZS sheet with a direct gap of 1.246 eV, while the A7 monolayer behaves as an insulator with an indirect gap of 3.842 eV. Phonon dispersion calculations have justified these structures as vibrationally stable 2D materials. The IR spectroscopy completely failed in the characterization of the studied materials, while the Raman spectroscopy can be effectively applied for the experimental spectral identification. The absorption spectra demonstrate complete opacity of the A7 and ZS monolayers to the UV irradiation only above ca. 9 and 6 eV, respectively. Thus, the studied materials are expected to be transparent to the visible light. The electron arrangement of the nitrogen nuclei in the studied polynitrogen sheets is denser compared to the N2 molecule which follows from the calculation of the values of magnetic shielding tensors. The elastic constants reveal a robust mechanical stability of the studied 2D nitrogen allotropes. The Young moduli values are only twice as lower than that of the graphene molecule.

Global Spore Sampling Project: A global, standardized dataset of airborne fungal DNA

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Novel methods for sampling and characterizing biodiversity hold great promise for re-evaluating patterns of life across the planet. The sampling of airborne spores with a cyclone sampler, and the sequencing of their DNA, have been suggested as an efficient and well-calibrated tool for surveying fungal diversity across various environments. Here we present data originating from the Global Spore Sampling Project, comprising 2,768 samples collected during two years at 47 outdoor locations across the world. Each sample represents fungal DNA extracted from 24 m3 of air. We applied a conservative bioinformatics pipeline that filtered out sequences that did not show strong evidence of representing a fungal species. The pipeline yielded 27,954 species-level operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Each OTU is accompanied by a probabilistic taxonomic classification, validated through comparison with expert evaluations. To examine the potential of the data for ecological analyses, we partitioned the variation in species distributions into spatial and seasonal components, showing a strong effect of the annual mean temperature on community composition.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- It is supposed to consider that the main focus of digital businesses in a green economy and environmental sustainability is the implementation of a relevant and capable strategy of accelerating growth that provides the management system flexibility, which obviously contributes to rapid adaptation to the external environment and guarantee effective realization of the business potential. It is created and visualized the constructive basis for determining the strategy of accelerating digital business growth in a green economy and environmental sustainability. It is conceptualized the model of the determination of the strategy of accelerating digital business growth in a green economy and environmental sustainability as well as interpreted its mechanism. It is developed the matrix of the strategies of accelerating digital business growth in a green economy and environmental sustainability. The approbation of methodological tools allowed retailers to strengthen their competitive advantages due to the ability to quickly respond to any entropic phenomena and, in turn, contributed to the increase of rapid progressive development of their digital business. © 2023 Institute of Physics Publishing.
