金(I)配合物催化乙烯加氢的反应机理

采用密度泛函理论B3LYP方法, 对两类金(I)配合物AuX (X=F, Cl, Br, I)和AuPR₃⁺(R=F, Cl, Br, I, H, Me,Ph)催化C₂H₄加氢反应的机理进行了理论研究. 计算显示Au(I)配合物对C₂H₄氢化具有较好的催化效果, 其作用下的加氢反应存在“活化H―H键后再与C₂H₄反应”和“活化C＝C键后再与H₂反应”两种途径, 前者的活化能较后者低90-120 kJ·mol^-1, 因而具有明显的能量优势. 研究表明AuPR₃⁺ 的催化能力明显强于AuX. 此外, X/PR3基团供、吸电子能力的变化对配合物的催化能力也具有较为显著的影响. 电子结构分析显示Au(I)配合物在C₂H₄ 加氢反应中不仅能够削弱H―H、C＝C 键的强度, 还使H₂ σ_H―H^*、C₂H₄ π_C＝C^* 轨道能级下降, 从而缩小了π_C＝C-σ_H―H^*或σ_H―H-π_C＝C^*轨道间的能级差, 促进了C₂H₄-H₂反应中的电子离域, 从而降低禁阻反应发生的难度.σ_H―H^*、π_C＝C^*轨道能级改变量与加氢反应活化能E_a的降低值之间存在较好的一致性关系, 因此使上述轨道能级下降幅度越大的Au(I)配合物可以获得较好的催化效果.     

二元铜族团簇负离子催化CO氧化反应机理

用密度泛函理论B3LYP方法研究了二元铜族团簇负离子AuAg^-, AuCu^-和AgCu^-催化CO氧化反应的详细机理. 计算结果表明: CO在混合团簇中的吸附位顺序为Cu>Au>Ag; O₂也优先吸附到Cu上, 其次为Ag, 最难的为Au; 另外, O₂分子较CO分子易于吸附到混合团簇上. CO氧化反应有三条反应通道, 在热力学和动力学上均容易进行. AuAg-团簇催化CO氧化反应的最优反应通道为CO插入AuAgO₂^-中的Ag―O键形成中间体[Au―AgC(O―O)O]^-, 然后直接分解形成CO₂和AuAgO^-, 或另一个CO分子进攻中间体[Au―AgC(O―O)O]^-形成两分子的CO₂和AuAg^-. 而AuCu^-和AgCu^-催化CO氧化反应的最优反应通道为CO和O₂共吸附到团簇上,然后形成四元环中间体,最后四元环中间体分解形成产物或另一个CO分子进攻四元环中间体从而形成产物. 第二个CO分子的协同效应不明显. AuAg^-和AuCu^-对CO氧化反应催化活性强于Au₂^-团簇, 因此, Ag和Cu掺杂可以提高金团簇的催化活性, 与之前实验研究结果一致.     

Pd/Cu(111)双金属表面催化糠醛脱碳及加氢的反应机理

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)研究糠醛在最稳定Pd/Cu(111)双金属表面上的吸附构型和糠醛脱碳及加氢的反应机理。结果表明,当糠醛初始吸附于O_3-Pd-top、O_7-Cu-hcp位时,吸附构型最稳定,其吸附能为73.4 kJ/mol。糠醛在Pd/Cu(111)双金属表面上更易发生脱碳反应。对于糠醛脱碳反应,所需活化能较低,各个基元反应均为放热反应,糠醛更易先失去支链上的H形成(C_4H_3O)CO,然后中间体脱碳加氢得到呋喃,其中,C_4H_3O加氢生成呋喃所需活化能(72.6 kJ/mol)最高,是反应的控速步骤。对于加氢反应,糠醛与首个氢原子的反应需要最大的活化能(290.4 kJ/mol),是反应的限速步骤。     

O与O2在Au团簇上吸附的密度泛函理论研究

采用基于密度泛函理论(DFT)的Dmol³程序系统研究了O原子与O₂在 Au₁₉与Au₂₀团簇上的吸附反应行为. 结果表明: O在Au₁₉团簇顶端洞位上的吸附较Au₂₀强; 在侧桥位吸附强度相近. O与O₂在带负电Au团簇上吸附较强, 在正电团簇吸附较弱. 从O―O键长看, 当金团簇带负电时, O―O键长较长, 中性团簇次之, 正电团簇中O―O键长较短, 因而O₂活化程度依次减弱. 电荷布居分析表明, Au团簇带负电时, O与O₂得电子数较中性团簇多, 而团簇带正电时, 得电子数较少. 差分电荷密度(CDD)表明, O₂与Au团簇作用时, 金团簇失电子, O₂的π^*轨道得电子, 使O―O键活化. O₂在Au₁₉^-团簇上解离反应活化能为1.33 eV, 较中性团簇低0.53 eV; 而在Au₁₉⁺上活化能为2.27 eV, 较中性团簇高0.41 eV, 这与O₂在不同电性Au₁₉团簇O―O键活化规律相一致.

非血红素铁(III)活化氧分子反应的自旋轨道耦合和零场分裂

采用密度泛函理论对原儿茶酚3,4-双加氧酶(3,4-PCD)活化O₂分子的反应机理进行了探讨. 初始复合物, 六重态⁶1的超快形成主要归因于电子交换诱导系间穿越(EISC), Fe d_z:O₂ π^*(z)是主要的交换通道, 在Fe―O键长为0.2487 nm处, 交换重叠积分S_ij=ád_z α|π^*(z) β>=0.3758. 从六重态⁶1 形成四重态中间体⁴1, 有两种效应共存, 即电子交换耦合作用和自旋轨道耦合(SOC)作用, 且相互竞争. 计算结果表明, 自旋轨道耦合(SOC)作用起主导因素(SOC=353.16 cm^-1). 至于O―O键的解离主要取决于儿茶酚(PCA)最高占据分子轨道(HOMO)的电子转移, 非血红素酶的铁中心仅承担PCA向O₂电子转移的缓冲作用.²²

Adsorption and Decarbonylation Reaction of Furfural on the Pd(111) and M/Pd(111)(M=Ni,Cu and Ru) Surfaces

By performing with density functional theory(DFT) method, the detailed adsorption process and the catalytic decarbonylation mechanisms of furfural over Pd(111) and M/Pd(111)(M = Ni, Cu, Ru) surfaces toward furan were clarified. The results of atomic size factor, formation energy and d-band center showed that Ru/Pd(111) surface was the most stable and active. The adsorption energies of furfural on the different surfaces followed the order Ru/Pd(111) Cu/Pd(111) Pd(111) Ni/Pd(111). After analyzing Mulliken atomic charge population and the deformation density, we can find that on Ru/Pd(111) surface, the number of charge transfer was the most and the interaction was the strongest. Therefore, its adsorption energy was the highest. Furthermore, the furfural decarbonylation pathway is more kinetically feasible on bimetallic surface, and the reaction is the most likely to occur on Ru/Pd(111).     

A First-Principles Study of CO2 Hydrogenation on a Niobium-Terminated NbC (111) Surface

As promising materials for the reduction of greenhouse gases, transition-metal carbides, which are highly active in the hydrogenation of CO₂, are mainly considered. In this regard, the reaction mechanism of CO₂ hydrogenation to useful products on the Nb-terminated NbC (111) surface is investigated by applying density functional theory calculations. The computational results display that the formation of CH₄, CH₃OH, and CO are more favored than other compounds, where CH₄ is the dominant product. In addition, the findings from reaction energies reveal that the preferred mechanism for CO₂ hydrogenation is thorough HCOOH^*, where the largest exothermic reaction energy releases during the HCOOH^* dissociation reaction (2.004 eV). The preferred mechanism of CO₂ hydrogenation towards CH₄ production is CO₂^*→t,c-COOH^*→HCOOH^*→HCO^*→CH₂O^*→CH₂OH^*→CH₂^*→CH₃^*→CH₄^*, where CO₂^*→t,c-COOH^*→HCOOH^*→HCO^*→CH₂O^*→CH₂OH^*→CH₃OH^* and CO₂^*→t,c-COOH^*→CO^* are also found as the favored mechanisms for CH₃OH and CO productions thermodynamically, respectively. During the mentioned mechanisms, the hydrogenation of CH₂O^* to CH₂OH^* has the largest endothermic reaction energy of 1.344 eV.

Carbon dioxide adsorption on lanthanum zirconate nanostructured coating surface: a DFT study

Pyrochlore lanthanum zirconate (La₂Zr₂O₇) is a very promising candidate material for thermal barrier coating applications. However it may deteriorate by oxidizing gas such as CO₂ during operating conditions. This paper investigates CO₂ gas adsorption on La₂Zr₂O₇ nanostructured coating surfaces using the density functional theory calculations. CO₂ adsorption energies on (001), (011) and (111) planes in the La–Zr bridge positions have been calculated. The most favorable CO₂ adsorption occurs on the (111) plane, which is confirmed by electron charge transfer and charge density difference analyses. La₂Zr₂O₇ surface energies on (001), (011) and (111) planes have been calculated. Results show that (011) plane is the most thermodynamically stable plane due to its lowest surface energy.     

Methanol oxidation on the PtPd(111) alloy surface: A density functional theory study

The mechanisms of methanol (CH₃OH) oxidation on the PtPd(111) alloy surface were systematically investigated by using density functional theory calculations. The energies of all the involved species were analyzed. The results indicated that with the removal of H atoms from adsorbates on PtPd(111) surface, the adsorption energies of (i) CH₃OH, CH₂OH, CHOH, and COH increased linearly, while those of (ii) CH₃OH, CH₃O, CH₂O, CHO, and CO exhibited odd‐even oscillation. On PtPd(111) surface, CH₃OH underwent the preferred initial C H bond scission followed by successive dehydrogenation and then CHO oxidation, that is, CH₃OH → CH₂OH → CHOH → CHO → CHOOH → COOH → CO₂. Importantly, the rate‐determining step of CH₃OH oxidation was found to switch from CO → CO₂ on Pt(111) to COOH → CO₂ + H on PtPd(111) with a lower energy barrier of 0.96 eV. Moreover, water also decomposed into OH more easily on PtPd(111) than on Pt(111). The calculated results indicate that alloying Pt with Pd could efficiently improve its catalytic performance for CH₃OH oxidation through altering the primary pathways from the CO path on pure Pt to the non‐CO path on PtPd(111).     

Experimental study of intermediates and wave phenomena in co oxidation on platinum metal (Pt,Pd) surfaces

The mechanism of catalytic CO oxidation on Pt(100) and Pd(110) single-crystal surfaces and on Pt and Pd sharp tip (～10³ Å) surfaces has been studied experimentally by temperature-programmed reaction, temperature desorption spectroscopy, field electron microscopy, and molecular beam techniques. Using the density functional theory the equilibrium states and stretching vibrations of oxygen atoms adsorbed on the Pt(100) surface have been calculated. The character of the mixed adsorption layer was established by high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy—molecular adsorption (O_2ads, CO_ads) on Pt(100)-hex and dissociative adsorption (O_ads, CO_ads) on Pt(100)-(1×1). The origin of kinetic self-oscillations for the isothermal oxidation of CO in situ was studied in detail on the Pt and Pd tips by field electron microscopy. The initiating role of the reversible phase transition (hex) ? (1 × 1) of the Pt(100) nanoplane in the generation of regular chemical waves was established. The origination of self-oscillations and waves on the Pt(100) nanoplane was shown to be caused by the spontaneous periodical transition of the metal from the low-active state (hex) to the highly active catalytic state (1 × 1). A relationship between the reactivity of oxygen atoms (O_ads) and the concentration of CO_ads molecules was revealed for the Pd(110) surface. Studies using the isotope label ¹⁸O_ads demonstrated that the low-temperature formation of CO₂ at 150 K is a result of the reaction of CO with the highly reactive state of atomic oxygen (O_ads). The possibility of the low-temperature oxidation of CO via interaction with the so-called “hot” oxygen atoms (O_hot) appearing on the surface at the instant of dissociation of O_2ads molecules was studied by the molecular beam techniques.     

Hydrogen bonding between a water molecule and electronegative additives (O or Cl) on a Pt(111) surface

Water adsorption on Pt(111) surfaces treated with oxygen or hydrogen chloride at 20 K has been studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy. Water molecules chemisorb predominantly on the sites of the electronegative additives (O or Cl^-), forming hydrogen bonds of O-HO or O-HCl^-. On a Pt(111)-2×2-O surface, water adsorption produces species (O(D₂O)), monomeric water (D₂O), (O(D₂O)₂) and ring tetramer-like cluster (O(D₂O)₃) on a Pt(111) surface. On a Pt(111)-3×3-Cl^- (θ=0.44) surface, water adsorption gives rise to a Pt(111)-(4×2)-(H₃O⁺+Cl^-) co-adsorption structure to form a hydrogen-bonding network between Cl^- and H₃O⁺ ions.
