VO_xH₂O (x= 1---5)团簇中, VO_xH₂O (x= 1,4,5) 的化学活性小于VO_xH₂O (x= 2, 3)的化学活性.此外, H₂O体系与VO_x之间的结合强弱顺序为 VO₄H₂O > VO₅H₂O > VOH₂O > VO₃H₂O > VO₂H₂O. VOH₂O中离解出H原子的能量为2.88 eV和从VO₅H₂O中离解出OH基团的能量为2.38 eV, 均在可见光能量范围内,这两个化学过程有可能在可见光催化条件下进行.可以通过团簇的红外和拉曼谱特征, 初步判断水分子在VO_xH₂O团簇中是否离解.

氧化石墨烯负载的Pt单原子催化硼胺烷水解机理的理论研究

本文研究了氧化石墨烯负载Pt单原子(Pt₁/Gr-O)催化硼胺烷(NH₃BH₃)全水解反应机理，即一分子的NH₃BH₃生成三分子的氢气(H₂)的过程. 在水解路径中，首先吸附的硼胺烷连续断裂两个B-H键生成第一分子的H₂. 接着，一个H₂O分子与^*BHNH₃基团(^*表示吸附态)反应生成^*BH(H₂O)NH₃，其中伸长的O-H键断裂后形成^*BH(OH)NH₃. 然后，第二个H₂O与^*BH(OH)NH₃反应生成^*BH(OH)(H₂O)NH₃，在指向Pt₁/Gr-O表面的O-H断裂后，生成BH(OH)₂NH₃并脱附到水溶液中. 两个水分子脱氢产生的两个H原子脱附生成第二个H₂分子，且Pt₁/Gr-O催化剂恢复. 脱附后的BH(OH)₂NH₃在水溶液中水解生成第三个H₂分子. 纵观整个水解反应，H₂O分子和^*BHNH₃基团的结合是反应速控步，其反应能垒是16.1 kcal/mol. 因此，Pt₁/Gr-O有希望成为室温催化NH₃BH₃全水解催化剂.

Raman spectroscopic study of the sulfite‐bearing minerals scotlandite,hannebachite and orschallite: implications for the desulfation of soils

The structures of the naturally occurring sulfite‐bearing minerals scotlandite, hannebachite and orschallite have been studied by Raman spectroscopy. Raman bands are observed for scotlandite PbSO₃ at 935, 880, 622 and 474 cm⁻¹ and are assigned to the (SO₃)²⁻ν₁(A₁), ν₃(E), ν₂(A₁) and ν₄(E) vibrational modes, respectively. For hannebachite (CaSO₃)₂·H₂O these bands are observed at 1005, 969 and 655 cm⁻¹ with multiple bands for the ν₄(E) mode at 444, 492 and 520 cm⁻¹. The Raman spectrum of hannebachite is very different from that of the compound CaSO₃·2H₂O. It is proposed, on the basis of Raman spectroscopy, that in the mineral hannebachite, the sulfite anion bonds to Ca through the sulfur atom. The Raman spectrum of the mineral orschallite Ca₃[SO₄](SO₃)₂·12H₂O is complex resulting from the overlap of sulfate and sulfite bands. Raman bands at 1005 cm⁻¹, 1096 and 1215 cm⁻¹ are assigned to the (SO₄)²⁻ν₁ symmetric and ν₃ asymmetric stretching modes. The two Raman bands at 971 and 984 cm⁻¹ are attributed to the (SO₃)²⁻ν₃(E) and ν₁(A₁) stretching vibrations. The formation of sulfite compounds in nature offers a potential mechanism for the removal of sulfates and sulfites from soils. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A Study of Antiferromagnetic Ordering in β-FeF3·3H2O by the Use of the NMR Method

The present work cites the investigation results of local magnetic fields on ¹H and ¹⁹F nuclei and spin ordering in β-FeF₃·3H₂O. In the structure of this compound (space group P4₂/n, a=7.846 Å, c=7.754 Å, z=4^1,2) Fe atoms are bonded via bridged F atoms (1) in infinite chains along the /001/ axis. With such positioning, in which two paramagnetic atoms are separated by a diamagnetic atom (F, O, C1 and others) there is a possibility for indirect (superexchange) interaction. Linear chains … Fe - F - Fe - F - Fe - F … are separated from each other by F(2) atoms and water molecules H₂O (1) and H₂O (2), so that exchange between neighboring Fe atoms from various chains is ostensibly much encumbered.     

Adsorption of water molecule on (001) and (110) surfaces of MgH2

First principle calculations have been performed to explore the adsorption characteristics of water molecule on (001) and (110) surfaces of magnesium hydride. The stable adsorption configurations of water molecule on the surfaces of MgH₂ were identified by comparing the total energies of different adsorption states. The (110) surface shows a higher reactivity with H₂O molecule owing to the larger adsorption energy than the (001) surface, and the adsorption mechanisms of water molecule on the two surfaces were clarified from electronic structures. For both (001) and (110) surface adsorptions, the O p orbitals overlapped with the Mg s and p orbitals leading to interactions between O and Mg atoms and weakening the O–H bonds in water molecule. Due to the difference of the bonding strength between O and Mg atoms in the (001) and (110) surfaces, the adsorption energies and configurations of water molecule on the two surfaces are significantly different.     

Ab Initio Study on Structures and Vibrational Spectra of M+(H2O)Ar2 (M = Cu,Au)

Previous investigations have shown that it is difficult to acquire the infrared (IR) spectra of M⁺(H₂O) (M?=?Cu, Au) using a single IR photon by attaching an Ar atom to M⁺(H₂O). To explore whether the IR spectra can be obtained using the two Ar atoms tagging method, the geometrical structures, IR spectra and interaction energies are investigated in detail by ab initio electronic structure calculations for M⁺(H₂O)Ar₂ (M?=?Cu, Au) complexes. Two conceivable isomeric structures are found, which result from different binding sites for two Ar atoms. CCSD(T) calculations predict that two Ar atoms are most likely to attach to Cu⁺ for the Cu⁺(H₂O)Ar₂ complex, while the Au⁺(H₂O)Ar₂ complex prefers the isomer in which one Ar atom attaches to an H atom of the H₂O molecule and the other one is bound to Au⁺. Moreover, the calculated binding energies of the second Ar atom are smaller than the IR photon energy, and so it is possible to obtain the IR spectra for both Cu and Au species. The changes in the spectra caused by the attachment of Ar atoms to M⁺(H₂O) are discussed.     

Electronic structures and mechanical properties of Al(111)/ZrB2(0001) heterojunctions from first-principles calculation

Employing first-principles density functional theory (DFT), the structures and electronic and mechanical properties of Al(111)/ZrB₂(0001) heterojunctions are investigated. It is found that both B-terminated ZrB₂(0001) and Zr-terminated ZrB₂(0001) can form heterojunction interfaces with Al(111) surface. The heterojunction with B-terminated ZrB₂(0001) is demonstrated to be most stable by comparing the surface adhesion energies of six different heterojunction models. In the stable configurations, the Al atom is found projecting to the hexagonal hollow site of neighbouring boron layer for the B-terminated ZrB₂(001), and locating at the top site of the boron atoms for Zr-terminated ZrB₂(001) interface. The mechanisms of interface interaction are investigated by density of states, charge density difference and band structure calculations. It is found that covalent bonds between surface Al atoms and B atoms are formed in the B-terminated heterojunction, whereas the Al atoms and Zr atoms are stabilised by interface metallic bonds for the Zr-terminated case. Mechanical properties of Al/ZrB₂ heterojunctions are also predicted in the current work. The values of moduli of Al/ZrB₂ heterojunctions are determined to be between those of single crystal Al and ZrB₂, which exhibit the transition of mechanical strength between two bulk phases. DFT calculations with the current models provide the mechanical properties for each heterojunction and the corresponding contributions by each type of interface in the composite materials. This work paves the way for industrial applications of Al(111)/ZrB₂(0001) heterojunctions.     

Solvatochromic Studies of Fluorescein Dianion in N,N-Dimethylformamide/Water and Dimethylsulphoxide/Water Mixtures

Abstract

The absorption, excitation and fluorescence spectra of the fluorescein dianion (FL^2?) in N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF)/water (H₂O) and Dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO)/H₂O solvent mixtures have been investigated. It is found that the absorption λ_max and emission maxima EX, _nax are both hypsochromic shifted when the H₂O content in the solvent mixtures increases. However, the shoulder peaks λ_s remain constant at 483. 5nm within the range of H₂O mole fraction, x= 0 to 0. 518 in a DMF/H₂O solvent mixture and at 484. 4nm within the range, x=0 to 0. 304, in a DMSO/H₂O mixture. Further increases in H₂O content, cause a hypsochromic shift in λ_s. The molar energies for the electronic transition from the ground state (S₀) to S₁, the first excited singlet state, (E_T(1)) and to S₂, the 2nd excited singlet state, (E_T(2)) of FL^2?in the solvent mixtures are also plotted against x. Linear straight lines and intersection points are observed at x=0. 73 for E_T(1) and at x=0. 51 for E_T(2) in the DMF/H₂O mixture and at x=0. 71 for E_T(1) and at x=0. 31 &; 0. 69 for E_T(2) in the DMSO/H₂O mixture. Hydrogen-bonding stabilization effects are used to explain the above observations. The variation in relative fluorescence quantum yields of S₁ and S₂ of FL^2? with x in the aprotic solvent-H₂O mixtures to FL^2? in pure aprotic solvent are determined and discussed.

Fascinating interaction of the ammonium cation with [2.2.2]paracyclophane: experimental and theoretical study

By means of electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry, it was evidenced experimentally that the ammonium cation (NH₄⁺) reacts with the electroneutral [2.2.2]paracyclophane ligand (C₂₄H₂₄) to form the cationic complex [NH₄(C₂₄H₂₄)]⁺. Moreover, applying quantum chemical calculations, the most probable conformation of the proven [NH₄(C₂₄H₂₄)]⁺ complex was solved. In the complex [NH₄(C₂₄H₂₄)]⁺ having a symmetry very close to C₃, the ‘central’ cation NH₄⁺ is coordinated by three strong bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bonds to the corresponding six carbon atoms from the three benzene rings of [2.2.2]paracyclophane via cation–π interaction. Finally, the interaction energy, E(int), of the considered complex [NH₄(C₂₄H₂₄)]⁺ was evaluated as ?625.8 kJ/mol, confirming the formation of this fascinating complex species as well. It means that the [2.2.2]paracyclophane ligand can be considered as an effective receptor for the ammonium cation in the gas phase.     

Photon mass attenuation coefficients,effective atomic numbers and electron densities of some thermoluminescent dosimetric compounds

Photon mass attenuation coefficients of some thermoluminescent dosimetric (TLD) compounds, such as LiF, CaCO₃, CaSO₄, CaSO₄.2H₂O, SrSO₄, CdSO₄, BaSO₄, C₄H₆BaO₄ and 3CdSO₄.8H₂O were determined at 279.2, 320.07, 514.0, 661.6, 1115.5, 1173.2 and 1332.5 keV in a well-collimated narrow beam good geometry set-up using a high resolution, hyper pure germanium detector. The attenuation coefficient data were then used to compute the effective atomic number and the electron density of TLD compounds. The interpolation of total attenuation cross-sections of photons of energyE in elements of atomic numberZ was performed using the logarithmic regression analysis of the data measured by the authors and reported earlier. The best-fit coefficients so obtained in the photon energy range of 279.2 to 320.07 keV, 514.0 to 661.6 keV and 1115.5 to 1332.5 keV by a piece-wise interpolation method were then used to find the effective atomic number and electron density of the compounds. These values are found to be in agreement with other available published values.
