A highly fluorinated anatase lattice has been recently reported, providing a new class of materials whose general chemical formula is T i1-x $\square$ x X 4x O 2-4x (X - = F - or OH - ). To characterise the complex structural features of the material and the different F environments, we here apply a computational screening procedure. After deriving a polarisable force—field from DFT simulations, we screen in a step-wise fashion a large number of possible configurations differing in the positioning of the titanium vacancies ($\square$) and of the fluorine atoms. At each step only 10% of the configurations are retained. At the end of the screening procedure, a configuration is selected and simulated using DFT-based molecular dynamics. This allows us to analyse the atomic structure of the material, which is strongly disordered, leading to a strong decrease (by 0.8 eV) of the band gap compared to conventional anatase.

This work explains the bowing effect of the band gap as a result of the changing S concentration in Zn(O,S).
Understanding of the nature and extent of chemical bonding in uranyl coordination complexes is crucial for the design of new ligands for nuclear waste separation, uranium extraction from seawater, and other applications. We report in this paper the synthesis, infrared spectroscopic characterization, and quantum chemical studies of a molecular uranyl–di-15-crown-5 complex. The structure and bonding of this unique complex featuring a distinctive 6-fold coplanar coordination staggered sandwich structure and an unusual non-perpendicular orientation of the uranyl moiety are evaluated using density functional theory and chemical bonding analyses. Finally, the results provide fundamental understanding of the coordination interaction of uranyl with oxygen-donor ligands.
We test the accuracy of Kohn–Sham density functional theory for strongly correlated metal–metal bonds that occur in catalytically active sites and intermediates and examine the orbitals and configurations involved to analyze the results.
