Conspectus Astatine (At) is the rarest on Earth of all naturally occurring elements, situated
below iodine in the periodic table. While only short-lived isotopes (t 1/2≤ 8.1 h) are known …

This contribution explains how the topological methods of analysis of the electron density
and related functions such as the electron localization function (ELF) and the electron …

Uranyl diacetate dihydrate is a useful reagent for the preparation of uranyl (UO22+)
coordination complexes, as it is a well-defined stoichiometric compound featuring …

One of the most important properties influencing the chemical behavior of an element is the
electron affinity (EA). Among the remaining elements with unknown EA is astatine, where …

Conventional drug delivery systems suffer from poor absorption and poor bioavailability at
the target site due to either very weak or very strong adsorption of drug on the carrier …

Abstract Astatine-211 (211 At, t 1/2= 7.21 h) emitting two α particles with energies of 5.87
and 7.45 MeV, can lead to a high linear energy transfer (LET= 98.84 keV/µm) and short …

In this research, the interactions of curcumin molecule with fullerene C 60 (FC 60), carbon
nanosheet (CNS), and carbon nanotube (CNT) as carbon nanostructures were investigated …

The importance of halogen bonds—highly directional interactions between an electron-
deficient σ-hole moiety in a halogenated compound and an acceptor such as a Lewis base …

A comprehensive ab initio study of periodic actinide–ligand bonding trends for trivalent
actinides is performed. Relativistic density functional theory (DFT) and complete active …

Abstract Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is a powerful mathematical theory, largely
unexplored in theoretical chemistry. In this work we demonstrate how TDA provides new …
