    Abstract The double proton transfer (PT) reaction has been investigated in the [2,2'-bipyridyl]-3-3'-diol, a complex molecule where the proton movements is coupled to significant rearrangement of the electronic structure. Moreover, the reaction could be concerted, that is the two protons are exchanged simultaneously, or stepwise, where the two protons are transferred sequentially. To this end, a static exploration of the potential energy surface (PES) was carried together with the analysis of the free-energy surface (FES), both surfaces being evaluated at density functional theory level and different exchange-correlation functionals. While the concerted mechanism has been clearly discharged, the characteristics of the stepwise PT significantly depends on the chosen functionals, some suggesting a clear stepwise mechanism characterized by a stable reaction intermediates and two transitions states, whereas other approaches propend for a asynchronous PT, with a single TS. These features appear on both PES and FES, albeit some differences appears due to their different nature.

    Abstract The study of Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP) has become a hot topic due to its relevance in living organisms and as a material for biomedical applications. The preparation and characterization of Mg-substituted ACP nanoparticles (AMCP) with tunable Ca/Mg ratio is reported in the present study to address the effect of Mg²⁺ on their structure and stability.AMCPs particles were synthesized by precipitation of the precursors from aqueous solutions. The particles were analyzed in terms of morphology, crystallinity, and thermal stability, to get a complete overview of their physico-chemical characteristics. Computational methods were also employed to simulate the structure of ACP clusters at different levels of Mg²⁺ substitution.Our results demonstrate that AMCP particles with tunable composition and crystallinity can be obtained. The analysis of the heat-induced crystallization of AMCP shows that particles’ stability depends on the degree of Mg²⁺ substitution in the cluster, as confirmed by computational analyses. The presented results shed light on the effect of Mg²⁺ on ACP features at different structural levels and may be useful guidelines for the preparation and design of AMCP particles with a specific Ca/Mg ratio.

    Abstract The regioselectivity in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (1,3-DC) between five-membered cyclic nitrone and methylenecyclopropane (MCP) has been studied through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The computational study of 1,3-DC with different 1-alkyl- (or 1,1-dialkyl)-substituted alkenes and the comparison with MCP have evidenced that the electrostatic interaction has a central role in the regioselectivity of the reactions. It has been observed that the electronic effect of the substituent (donor or attractor groups) determines the polarization of the alkene double bond and the reaction mechanism, consequently determining the interaction with nitrones and favoring an orientation between this moiety and the dipolarophile.

    Abstract The complete path of the Brandi–Guarna rearrangement of 5-spirocyclopropane isoxazolidines has been investigated by means of density functional theory calculations to rationalize the competing formation of tetrahydropyridones and enaminones by the determination of the minimum energy reaction paths. Our calculations confirm that the rearrangement is triggered by the homolysis of the isoxazolidine N–O bond followed by cleavage of one of the two C–CH2 cyclopropane bonds as previously proposed by the Fabian group [Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2001, 2001, 4223]. In addition, the results of this work suggest that in the presence of a stereogenic center at isoxazolidine C-4′, the formation of a piperidinone or an enaminone as the final product depends on which of the two diastereotopic C–CH2 bonds of cyclopropane is cleaved in the second step of the process. The result can be of great interest for the understanding of other processes involving the opening of a cyclopropane ring.
