Some scientists might consider group 2 chemistry as “boring, closed shell and all ionic,
aqueous chemistry, where everything is known! It is not worth investigating”. How wrong …

A green and effective approach for the synthesis of structurally diversed α-
hydroxyphosphonates via hydrophosphonylation of aldehydes under solventless conditions …

The quasiparticle states, fundamental gaps, optical gaps, exciton binding energies and UV-
vis spectra for a series of cuboidal nanoparticles of the prototypical oxide magnesium oxide …

Quantum confinement like behaviour in CdO and CdS nanoparticles is demonstrated
through explicit evGW–BSE many-body perturbation theory calculations on 0.6–1.4 …

To address the question posed in the title, we have created, and now report details of, an
open-access database of cluster structures with a web-assisted interface and toolkit as part …

Structural, electronic, and Raman scattering properties of strontium oxide nanoclusters are
assessed through density functional theory. Binding energy and second‐order energy …

Although each chapter is self-contained, if you are relatively new to the field of modeling
nanoclusters and nanoparticles, or would like to recap important ideas, we first provide an …

Two cage-like nanoporous polymorphs composed of spheroidal cages (ZnO) 24 as building
block in high symmetrical cubic lattice frameworks are proposed. By using this cluster …

Silicon monoxide is a complex material which tends to form atomic and nanoscale
amorphous structures. The question is in which ways can the stability of SiO on suitable …

A systematic DFT study is performed on (MgO) n,(CaO) n,(SrO) n, and (BaO) n clusters with
6< n< 50, and which display a cuboid 2× 2× 2 atomic motif seen in the bulk, rock-salt …
