硫酸催化乙二醛气体相水化反应机理和速率常数理论计算研究

采用M06-2X和CCSD(T)高阶量化计算和传统过渡态理论研究硫酸催化乙二醛气体相水化反应.对HCOCHO+H₂O, HCOCHO+H₂O+H₂O, HCOCHO+H₂O+H₂O, HCOCHO+H₂O...H₂SO₄和HCOCHO+H₂O+H₂SO₄五个路径的反应机理和速率常数进行了研究.计算结果表明硫酸具有较强的催化能力,能显著减小乙二醛水化反应的能垒,在CCSD(T)/6-311++G(3df,3pd)//M06-2X/6-311++G(3df,3pd)理论水平,当硫酸分子参与乙二醛水化反应时,反应能垒从37.15 kcal/mol减少至7.08 kcal/mol.在室温条件下,硫酸催化乙二醛水化反应的反应速率1.34×10^-11 cm³/(molecule.s),是等量水分子参与乙二醛水化反应的速率的10¹²倍,大于乙二醛与OH自由基反应的反应速率1.10×10^-11 cm³/(molecule.s).这表明大气条件下,硫酸催化乙二醛水化反应可以发生,同乙二醛与OH自由基反应相竞争.     

Ca掺杂的氧化铍纳米管吸附H2O和NH3的选择传感特

通过密度泛函计算, 借助NH₃和H₂O分子对未掺杂以及钙掺杂的BeO碳纳米管的结构和电传导性进行了研究. 结果发现,NH₃和H₂O分子可以吸附在纳米管侧壁的Be原子上,吸附能分别为约36.1和39.0 kcal/mol. 态密度分析显示BeO纳米管的电传导性在吸附后稍有变化. 对于NH₃和H₂O分子,纳米管表面的钙原子替换Be原子可使吸附能分别增加约7.4和14.7 kcal/mol. 与未掺杂纳米管不同的是,钙掺杂BeONT吸附NH₃和H₂O分子的电传导性更加敏感,且H₂O分子比NH₃分子更敏感.

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.

交叉分子束实验研究F+D2(v=1, j=0)反应

本文使用交叉分子束方法研究了氟原子和振动激发态氘分子D₂(v=1, j=0)的反应. 使用受激拉曼抽运的方法制备了振动激发的D₂分子. 实验中未观测到来自于旋轨耦合激发态氟原子F^*(²P_1/2)与振动激发态D₂分子的贡献. 观测到来自于旋轨耦合基态氟原子F(²P_3/2)和振动激发态D₂的反应信号，相应的产物DF分子布居于v''=2，3，4，5振动态上. 与振动基态反应F+D₂(v=1，j=0)相比，振动激发态反应F+D₂(v=1，j=0)生成的DF产物转动分布更“热”. 获得了振动激发反应的四个碰撞能在0.32至2.62 kcal/mol范围内的微分反应截面. 在最低的碰撞能0.32 kcal/mol下，所有振动态的DF产物都以后向散射为主. 随着碰撞能的增加，DF产物的角分布逐渐从后向转移到侧向. 测量了DF(v''=5)产物的前向微分散射截面随碰撞能变化的曲线. 前向散射的DF(v''=5)信号出现于1.0 kcal/mol. 在2.62 kcal/mol碰撞能下DF(v''=5)主要为前向散射.     

基于从头算势能面对S-(2P)+H2(1Σ+g)→SH-(1Σ)+H(2S)反应的量子含时波包计算

本文基于离子分子SH₂^-基态势能面,应用含时波包方法研究了反应S^-(²P)+H₂(¹Σ⁺_g)→SH^-(¹Σ)+H(²S)的动力学行为. 给出了反应几率和积分截面随碰撞能的变化关系,结果表明,在讨论的所有碰撞能量范围内二者均存在显著的振荡结构. 当初始转动量子数j=0,2,4,6,8,10和振动量子数v=0,1,2,3,4时,从总反应几率数值计算中可以看出,双原子H₂的振动激发和转动激发显著提高了反应活性. 同时积分散射截面的理论值与前人的实验值相符合.     

质子化corroles的结构和电子光谱的密度泛函理论研究

用电子密度泛函理论研究了N-质子化corrole(H₄Cor⁺)和meso位芳基取代质子化corroles(H₄TPC⁺、H₄TpFPC⁺和H₄TdCPC⁺)的几何构型、内消旋反应机理以及电子光谱. 结果表明,这些化合物均有两种稳定构型(势能面极小),一个为C₂对称性的S1(最稳定构型),另一为C₁对称性的S2,其中S1的能量比S2低约15.8～18.5 kJ/mol.S1和S2的corrole环都呈现明显的面外扭曲变形. 手性S1的两个对映异构体之间的转化是一个以S2为中间态的多步过程. 用TDDFT计算了它们的紫外可见电子吸收光谱和圆二色谱(ECD). 与H₄Cor⁺相比,H₄TPC⁺、H₄TpFPC⁺和H₄TdCPC⁺的紫外可见吸收都发生了明显红移,且它们的Q带都因芳基取代基与corrole环之间的π-π共轭而明显增强. 计算表明,质子化corrole的若干相邻电子跃迁的旋转强度符号相反,表明ECD谱可能是研究其电子跃迁的有用工具.     

a-Si:H掺杂机理的研究

Cl(2P)+D2→DCl+D反应中波恩-奥本海默近似有效性的交叉分子束研究

本文利用高分辨的里德堡态氘原子标识-交叉分子束装置，研究了碰撞能为4.5∽6.5 kcal/mol范围内Cl(²P)[Cl(²P_3/2)和Cl^*(²P_1/2)]与D₂的反应. 虽然自旋轨道激发态反应Cl^*(²P_1/2)+D₂在波恩-奥本海默(B-O)近似下本应是禁阻的，但实验中观测到了该反应的贡献. 通过测量靠近后向的碰撞能相关的微分散射截面连线，发现低碰撞能下的产物主要来自于B-O近似禁阻的反应Cl^*+D₂. 随着碰撞能的提高，自旋轨道基态反应Cl+D₂的反应性增加明显要比自旋轨道激发态反应Cl^*+D₂更快，并且在高碰撞能下成为产物的主要来源. 实验结果表明：在低碰撞能下，Cl^*中自旋轨道激发态的额外能量，可以帮助B-O近似禁阻的反应Cl^*+D₂越过势垒；然而当碰撞能接近和高于反应势垒时，B-O近似允许的反应Cl+D₂占主导地位. Cl/Cl^*+D₂反应中B-O近似有效性的特征与其同位素反应Cl/Cl^*+H₂是一致的.

Interaction of Ga<Subscript>3</Subscript> cluster with molecular hydrogen: combined DFT and CCSD(T) theoretical study

We have explored the lowest doublet and quartet potential energy surfaces (PES) for the reaction of gallium trimer with H₂. This reaction was studied experimentally by Margrave and co-workers in a noble gas matrix. The detailed reaction paths ending up with the low-energy Ga₃H₂ hydride isomers have been predicted based on the high level ab initio coupled-cluster calculations (CCSD(T)) with large basis set. We have found that the reaction occuring on the lowest doublet PES is described by the activation barrier for H₂ cleavage of about 15 kcal/mol, consistent with experiment. In the most stable Ga₃H₂ hydride structure, whose formation is exothermic by 15 kcal/mol, both H atoms assume three-fold bridged positions. The diterminal planar structure of Ga₃H₂, proposed experimentally from the observed IR spectra, is found to be only 1 kcal/mol less stable than the dibridged form.     

A theoretical study of hydrogen adsorption on Li, Be, Na, and Mg atoms attached to aromatic hydrocarbons

The binding energy of a hydrogen molecule on metal atoms (Li, Be, Na, and Mg) attached to aromatic hydrocarbon molecules (benzene and anthracene) was calculated using an ab initio molecular orbital method at the MP2(FC)/cc-pVTZ level with basis set superposition error (BSSE) correction. The energy tended to become more negative as the metal atom had a more positive charge and a smaller radius. The energies of Li₂C₆H₆-H₂, Li₂C₁₄H₁₀-H₂, Na₂C₁₄H₁₀-H₂, and MgC₁₄H₁₀-H₂ were −2.7 to −2.2, −4.0 to −3.1, −2.8 to −0.3, and −1.3 kcal/mol, respectively. Most of these energies were more negative than those on the hydrocarbons without metal atoms (ca. −1 kcal/mol). Analyzing the Lennard–Jones type potential with the parameters determined by the MP2 calculations, it was found that these energies mainly consisted of the induction force caused by the positive charge of the metal atom and the dispersion force from the nearest C₆-ring. The energy of BeC₁₄H₁₀-H₂ was more negative (−8.6 kcal/mol) than of the other complexes. The hydrogen molecule in this complex had a comparatively longer H–H distance and a more positive H₂ charge than the others. These data suggest that the hydrogen adsorption on this complex involves a charge transfer process in addition to physisorption interactions. The hydrogen binding energies in some Li₂C₁₄H₁₀-H₂ systems (∼−4.0 kcal/mol) and BeC₁₄H₁₀-H₂ are promising to operate hydrogen storage/release at ambient temperature with moderate pressure.     

Can tetra‐tert‐butylethylene be formed by ion–ion recombination or ion–molecule reaction of two di‐tert‐butylcarbene units?—a DFT study

The reaction channels of di‐tert‐butylcarbene ( 2 ), its radical anion, ( 3 ) and its radical cation ( 4 ) were investigated theoretically by using DFT/B3LYP with 6‐31+G(d) basis set and 6‐311+G(2d,p) for single point energy calculations. Conversion of the neutral carbene 2 to the charged species 3 and 4 results in significant geometric changes. In cation 4 two different types of C? (CH₃)₃ bonds are observed: one elongated sigma bond called “axial” with 1.61 Å and two normal sigma bonds with a bond length of 1.55 Å. Species 2 and 4 have an electron deficient carbon center; therefore, migration of CH₃ and H is observed from adjacent tert‐butyl groups with low activation energies in the range of 6–9 kcal/mol like similar Wagner–Meerwein rearrangements in the neopentyl‐cation system. Neutral carbene 2 shows C? H insertion to give a cyclopropane derivative with an activation energy of 6.1 kcal/mol in agreement with former calculations. Contrary to species 2 and 4 , the radical anion 3 has an electron rich carbon center which results in much higher calculated activation energies of 26.3 and 42.1 kcal/mol for H and CH₃ migrations, respectively. NBO charge distribution indicates that the hydrogen migrates as a proton. The central issue of this work is the question: how can tetra‐tert‐butylethylene ( 1 ) be prepared from reaction of either species 2 , 3 , or 4 as precursors? The ion–ion reaction between 3 and 4 to give alkene 1 with a calculated reaction enthalpy of 203.5 kcal/mol is extremely exothermic. This high energy decomposes alkene 1 after its formation into two molecules of carbene 2 spontaneously. Ion–molecule reaction of radical anion 3 with the neutral carbene 2 is a much better choice: via a proper oriented charge–transfer complex the radical anion of tetra‐tert‐butylethylene (11) is formed. The electron affinity of 1 was calculated to be negligible. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

碱金属钠原子修饰硅原子团簇的结构及储氢性能研究

提出碱金属钠原子修饰笼形Si_6团簇的结构模型,采用密度泛函理论(DFT)研究钠原子修饰笼形Si_6团簇的结构及储氢性能.研究结果表明,氢分子与笼形Si_6团簇表面相互作用很弱,氢分子在其表面容易脱附.采用钠原子修饰笼形Si_6团簇后可有效避免氢分子的脱附,并且钠原子在笼形Si_6团簇的表面不发生团聚,有利于氢分子在其表面吸附和循环利用.研究发现在两个钠原子修饰笼形Si_6团簇的结构中,每个钠原子可以有效吸附六个氢分子.计算得到Na2Si_6团簇结构储氢的质量分数高达10.08 wt%,且氢分子的平均吸附能约为0.837 kcal/mol.可见,实现钠原子修饰笼形Si_6团簇结构在常温常压条件下储氢是有可能的.     

Theoretical study of hydrogen dissociation and diffusion on Nb and Ni co-doped Mg(0001): A synergistic effect

The interaction of H₂ with clean, Ni and Nb doped Mg(0001) surface are investigated by first-principles calculations. Individual Ni and Nb atoms within the outermost surface can reduce the dissociation barrier of the hydrogen molecule. They, however, prefers to substitute for the Mg atoms within the second layer, leading to a weaker catalytic effect for the dissociation of H₂, a bottleneck for the hydriding of MgH₂. Interestingly, co-doping of Ni and Nb stabilizes Ni at the first layer, and results in a significant reduction of the dissociation barrier of H₂ on the Mg surface, coupled with an increase of the diffusion barrier of H. Although codoped Ni and Nb shows no remarkable advantage over single Nb here, it implies that the catalytic effect could be optimized by co-doping of “modest” transition metals with balanced barriers for dissociation of H₂ and diffusion of H on Mg surfaces.     

Structure and vibrational IR spectra of a UCl4?2DMSO complex

Structural models are designed and spectral characteristics are computed based on DFT calculations for a complex of uranium tetrachloride with two molecules of dimethylsulfoxide (UCl₄⋅2DMSO). The calculations were carried out using a B3LYP hybrid functional in the LANL2DZ effective core potential approximation for the uranium atom and a cc-pVDZ all-electron basis set for all other atoms. Two structural variants were found for the complex. In the first of them, which is more stable, DMSO molecules are coordinated to the central uranium atom through oxygen atoms whereas in the second one, whose energy is 225 kJ/mol higher, the coordination proceeds through sulfur atoms. The obtained spectral characteristics are analyzed and compared with experimental data. Spectral features that are characteristic of the complexation process are identified. The adequacy of the proposed models and the agreement between calculation and experiment are demonstrated.     

P‐Heterocyclic silylenes: a survey of stability with density functional theory

The effects of phosphorous atom on the stability, multiplicity, and reactivity of six‐member cyclic silylenes are investigated at B3LYP/AUG‐cc‐pVTZ//B3LYP/6‐31+G* and MP2/6‐311++G**//B3LYP/6‐31+G* coupled with appropriate isodesmic reactions. From a thermodynamic point of view, 1H‐2‐silaphosphinine‐2‐ylidene ( 1_a ) and 1H‐4‐silaphosphinine‐4‐ylidene ( 2_a ) are relatively the most stable with singlet–triplet energy gaps (ΔE_S–T) of 37.0 and 28.1 kcal/mol, respectively. The calculated energy barrier for the 1,2‐H shift of 1_a to the corresponding 2‐silapyridine ( 1 ) is 26.5 kcal/mol, which is lower than the 28.8 kcal/mol required for the 1,4‐H shift of 2_a to the corresponding 4‐silapyridine ( 2 ). In contrast to the previous reports, isodesmic reactions indicate that π‐donor/σ‐donor phosphorous destabilizes the singlet while stabilizes the triplet state. Both 1_a and 2_a silylenes appear invulnerable to the head‐to‐head as well as the head‐to‐tail dimerization, inviting experimental explorations. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
