CH21186Singly Occupied Molecular Orbital−Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (SOMO−HOMO) Conversion
and Manabu Abe
SOMO−HOMO conversion is a phenomenon in which the SOMO is lower in energy than the doubly occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO). A non-Aufbau electronic structure leads to unique properties such as a switch in bond dissociation energy and the generation of high-spin species on one-electron oxidation. In this review article, we summarise the chemistry of SOMO−HOMO converted species reported to date.

CH21171Colourimetric Detection of Tebuconazole in Aqueous Solution Based on an Unmodified Aptamer and the Aggregation of Gold Nanoparticles
, Chaoqiang Pan, Dongwei Zhang and Guoqing Shen
This paper proposes a colourimetric aptasensor for detecting tebuconazole (TEB) based on the interaction between TEB, a TEB-specific aptamer, and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The results show that the aptasensor has a linear TEB concentration range from 20–400 nM and a good limit of detection (LOD) of 4.13 nM.
CH21216Folic Acid-Targeted MXene Nanoparticles for Doxorubicin Loaded Drug Delivery
A folate receptors-targeted drug carrier with high drug loading (69.9 %) and slow drug release time (48 h) was constructed based on the rich surface functional groups of MXenes. Tumour targeting and pH-responsive mechanism can make MXene nanoparticles quickly accumulate and release drugs in large quantities at tumour sites.
CH21196A Computational Comparative Study for the Spectroscopic Evaluation of Triazine Derivative Dyes in Implicit Solvation Model Systems Using Semi-Empirical and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory Approaches
, Timothy J. Biddle , Christian Madu , Christopher L. Brown , Tak H. Kim and Ian E. Cock
The spectroscopic analysis of cyclopenta-[d][1,2,3]-triazine derivatives was studied. TDDFT calculations corresponded to the experimental absorbance and emission data. Semi-empirical methods recorded a lower computational cost.
