Article Abstract
In the present work, we have studied from a theoretical perspective the geometry and electronic properties of the series of related compounds 2,5-bis(phenylethynyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole, 2,5-bis(phenylethynyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole, and 2,5-bis(phenylethynyl)-1,2,4-triazole as candidates for electron-conducting polymers and compounds with desirable (opto)electronic properties. The effect of the ethynyl group (-C[Triple Bond]C-) on the structure and electronic properties was also studied. The influence of planarity on electrical conductivity has been studied by a natural-bond-orbital analysis. The (opto)electronic properties and conducting capability were investigated through the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) gap, excitation energy, bond length alternation, LUMO energy, electron affinities, and intramolecular reorganization energy. Finally, the evolution of some properties such as optical bandgap and electron affinity with the increase of the number of repeat units in the oligomer chain has been checked.

Stress engineering is an effective way to tune the performance of semiconductors, which has been verified in the work of inorganic and organic single-crystal semiconductors. However, due to the limitations of the vapor-phase growth preparation conditions, the deposited polycrystalline organic semiconductors are more susceptible to residual stress. Therefore, it is of great research significance to develop a low-cost stress engineering applicable to vapor-deposited semiconductors.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 20 (CDK20), also known as cell cycle-related kinase (CCRK), plays a pivotal role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression by regulating β-catenin signaling and promoting uncontrolled proliferation. Despite its emerging significance, selective small-molecule inhibitors of CDK20 remain unexplored. In this study, a known CDK20 inhibitor, ISM042-2-048, was employed as a reference to retrieve structurally similar compounds from the PubChem database using an 85% similarity threshold.

This review delivers a focused and critical evaluation of recent progress in the green synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CQDs), with particular attention to state-of-the-art approaches utilizing renewable biomass as precursors. The main objective is to systematically examine innovative, environmentally friendly methods and clarify their direct influence on the core properties and photocatalytic performance of CQDs. The novelty of this review stems from its comprehensive comparison of green synthetic pathways, revealing how specific processes determine key structural, optical, and electronic attributes of the resulting CQDs.

We present a novel, flexible framework for electronic structure interfaces designed for nonadiabatic dynamics simulations, implemented in Python 3 using concepts of object-oriented programming. This framework streamlines the development of new interfaces by providing a reusable and extendable code base. It supports the computation of energies, gradients, various couplings─like spin-orbit couplings, nonadiabatic couplings, and transition dipole moments─and other properties for an arbitrary number of states with any multiplicities and charges.

Photoelectron angular distributions are reported for a series of aqueous potassium carboxylate solutions, ranging from bulk-solvated to strongly surface-active species. The quantitative information determined from this work demonstrates how the measured photoelectron angular distributions are influenced by the ions' increasing propensity for the surface in aqueous solutions. Our study provides insight into the relative depth and location of the carboxylate functional group, which is valuable for investigating the adsorption of organic molecules at liquid-vapor interfaces.
