  text: "<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>A frustrated Lewis pair‐catalyzed
    hydroboration of aromatic and aliphatic nitriles was developed. The catalyst provides
    the primary amines in high yields of 77–99% with catalyst loading as low as 2 mol%.
    The reaction displays high functional group tolerance towards esters, amides,
    nitro groups and aliphatic halides. The addition of the diborylated amines to
    ethyl 3‐phenylpropiolate proceeds with Z‐selectivity with d.r. of &gt;99:1 in
    77–90% yield over two steps. The reaction mechanism was investigated by control
    and computational experiments.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:boxed-text content-type=\"graphic\"

  text: 'Individual grains of chalcopyrite solar cell absorbers can facet in different
    crystallographic directions at their surfaces. To gain a deeper understanding
    of the junction formation in these devices, we correlate variations in the surface
    facet orientation with the defect electronic properties. We use a combined analytical
    approach based on scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), scanning electron microscopy,
    and electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD), where we perform these experiments
    on identical surface areas as small as 2 × 2 µm2 with a lateral resolution well
    below 50 nm. The topography of the absorber surfaces indicates two main morphological
    features: micro-faceted, long basalt-like columns and their short nano-faceted
    terminations. Our STS results reveal that the long columns exhibit spectral signatures
    typical for the presence of pronounced oxidation-induced surface dipoles in conjunction
    with an increased density of electronic defect levels. In contrast, the nano-faceted
    terminations of the basalt-like columns are largely passivated in terms of electronic
    defect levels within the band gap region. Corresponding crystallographic data
    based on EBSD experiments show that the surface of the basalt-like columns can
    be assigned to intrinsically polar facet orientations, while the passivated terminations
    are assigned to non-polar planes. Ab-initio calculations suggest that the polar
    surfaces are more prone to oxidation and resulting O-induced defects, in comparison
    to non-polar planes. Our results emphasize the correlation between morphology,
    surface facet orientations and surface electronic properties. Furthermore, this
    work aids in gaining a fundamental understanding of oxidation induced lateral
    inhomogeneities in view of the p-n junction formation in chalcopyrite thin-film
    solar cells.'

  text: A numerically efficient yet highly accurate implementation of the crystal
    orbital Hamilton population (COHP) scheme for plane-wave calculations is presented.
    It is based on the projector-augmented wave (PAW) formalism in combination with
    norm-conserving pseudopotentials and allows to extract chemical interactions between
    atoms from band-structure calculations even for large and complex systems. The
    potential of the present COHP implementation is demonstrated by an in-depth analysis
    of the intensively investigated metal-insulator transition in atomic-scale indium
    wires self-assembled on the Si(111) surface. Thereby bond formation between In
    atoms of adjacent zigzag chains is found to be instrumental for the phase change.

  text: Recently, the quantum harmonic oscillator model has been combined with maximally
    localized Wannier functions to account for long-range dispersion interactions
    in density functional theory calculations (Silvestrelli, J. Chem. Phys. 2013,
    139, 054106). Here, we present a new, improved set of values for the three parameters
    involved in this scheme. To test the new parameter set we have computed the potential
    energy curves for various systems, including an isolated Ar2 dimer, two N2 dimers
    interacting within different configurations, and a water molecule physisorbed
    on pristine graphene. While the original set of parameters generally overestimates
    the interaction energies and underestimates the equilibrium distances, the new
    parameterization substantially improves the agreement with experimental and theoretical
    reference values. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
