Article Abstract
Hydroxylamine (NHOH) and its N-substituted derivatives (RNHOH) are important biological intermediates in the global N cycle. Heme plays a central role in the binding and activation of these hydroxylamines. We report the crystal structures of N-hydroxyamphetamine (AmphNHOH) in complex with Fe and Co heme models. We demonstrate a previously unrecognized internal H-bond interaction between a hydroxylamine RNHO-H group and a porphyrin N-atom. We utilize density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations to show that the conformations with the internal H-bond represent global minima along the potential energy surfaces for both the Fe and Co heme models. A natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis reveals a donor π (por) to acceptor σ* (O-H) interaction of 3.04 kcal/mol for Fe, accounting for 11% of the total heme-AmphNHOH interaction energy. Our DFT calculations with the parent Fe-NHOH suggests that the presence of internal H-bonds between hydroxylamine (R/H)NHOH moieties and heme N-atoms may be more common than previously recognized.

Background: With the development of modern agriculture, neonicotinoid pesticides have been widely used due to their high efficiency and strong systemic properties. However, excessive use leads to the accumulation of residues in the food chain, threatening the ecosystem and human health. Pesticide residues are easily accumulated in oilseed crops and become concentrated during the edible oil refining process.

The thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) releases a mixture of toxic and explosive gases, posing severe safety risks. High-performance sensors are critical for the early detection of these thermal runaway gases (TRGs) to prevent accident escalation. Herein, we systematically investigate Fe-X (X=C, P, S) atomic pair-modified g-CN (FCN, FPN, FSN) monolayers as potential sensing materials for six TRGs (CO, CO, H, CH, CH, and CH) using first-principles calculations.
