从头计算方法比较研究B2Au4, Al2Au4和BAlAu4的几何和电子结构

Au/H 相似性的研究是现代化学中的一个热门话题. 我们从理论上报道Au/H 相似的新成员: 共价化合物B₂Au₄, 离子化合物Al₂Au₄和BAlAu₄. 采用密度泛函和波函数理论方法对比研究了缺电子体系B₂Au₄、Al₂Au₄和BAlAu₄的几何和电子结构. 详细讨论了它们基态结构的轨道、适应性自然密度划分(AdNDP)和电子局域函数(ELF)分析. 计算结果表明稍微扭曲变形的C₂B₂Au₄是基态结构, 在这个共价化合物中含有两个B―Au―B三中心二电子(3c-2e)键. 然而C_3v Al⁺(AlAu₄)^-和C_3v Al⁺(BAu₄)^-被研究证明是含有三个X―Au―Al 三中心二电子键的类盐化合物(在Al₂Au₄中X=Al, BAlAu₄中X=B). Al₂Au₄和BAlAu₄是至今为止首例报道的在离子缺电子体系中含有金桥键的化合物. 同时计算了B₂Au₄^-、Al₂Au₄^- 和BAlAu₄^- 阴离子基态结构的绝热剥离能和垂直剥离能, 为实验表征提供依据. 文中报道的金桥键为共价键和离子键相结合的缺电子体系提供了一个有趣的键合模式, 有助于设计含有高度分散金原子的新材料和催化剂.

C78(CH2)2结构和光谱的半经验和密度泛函研究

用INDO系列方法研究C₇₈(CH₂)₂的18种可能异构体，表明最稳定异构体是42,43,62,63-C₇₈(CH₂)₂,其中CH₂加在C₇₈（C_2V）椭球长轴所穿过的同一六员环的两个6/6键上，形成类环丙烷结构。并对最稳定的四种异构体用B3LYP/3-21G方法进行了结构优化,在此基础上, 用INDO/CIS方法计算的C₇₈(CH₂)₂稳定异构体的电子光谱的第一吸收峰和用AM1方法计算的碳笼上的C-C键的主要红外振动频率与C₇₈（C_2V）相比发生兰移，原因是C₇₈(CH₂)₂具有较大的LUMO-HOMO能隙和由于加成带来的共轭体系变小。在B3LYP/3-21G水平上计算的¹³C NMR谱表明,被加成的C-C键上的C原子化学位移向高场移动, 这是因为sp²杂化的C 原子被转化为 sp³杂化的C 原子.

Observation of X1A1 vinylidene by photoelectron spectroscopy of the C2H2− ion

Photoelectron spectra of the vinylidene anion (C₂H₂^?) show vibrational structure in X¹A₁ vinylidene up 12 kcal/ mol above the vibrational ground state. Analysis yields an EA(C₂H₂$\text{X}$¹ A₁) of 0.47 ± 0.02 eV, and frequencies for the CC stretch and HCH bend. Absence of the ³B₂ state in the photoelectron spectra indicates the ¹A₁-³B₂ splitting in vinylidene is ? 1.7 eV.     

Bridging gold: B‐Au‐B three‐center‐two‐electron bonds in electron‐deficient B2Aun−/0 (n = 1, 3, 5) and mixed analogues

A systematic density functional theory and wave function theory investigation on the geometrical and electronic structures of the electron‐deficient diboron aurides B₂Au (n = 1, 3, 5) and their mixed analogues B₂H_mAu (m + n = 3, 5) has been performed in this work. Ab initio theoretical evidences strongly suggest that bridging gold atoms exist in the ground states of C_2v B₂Au^?(¹A₁), C₂ B₂Au(¹A), C_2v B₂Au₃(²B₁), C_2v B₂Au(¹A₁), and C_s B₂Au₅(²A″), which all prove to possess a B? Au? B three‐center‐two‐electron (3c‐2e) bond. For B₂H_mAu (m + n = 3, 5) mixed anions, bridging B? Au? B units appear to be favored in energy over bridging B? H? B, as demonstrated by the fact that the Au‐bridged C_2v B₂H₂Au^? (¹A₁), C_s B₂HAu (¹A′), and C₁ B₂HAu (¹A) lie clearly lower than their H‐bridged counterparts C_s B₂H₂Au^? (¹A′), C₂ B₂HAu (¹A), and C_2v B₂HAu (¹A₁), respectively. Orbital analyses indicate that Au 6s makes about 92–96% contribution to the Au‐based orbitals in these B‐Au‐B 3c‐2e interactions, whereas Au 5d contributes 8–4%. The adiabatic and vertical detachment energies of the concerned anions have been calculated to facilitate their future experimental characterizations. The results obtained in this work establish an interesting 3c‐2e bonding model (B? Au? B) for electron‐deficient systems in which Au 6s plays a major role with non‐negligible contribution from Au 5d. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2011     

B12Sc4和B12Ti4团簇的储氢性质

提出了两个稳定的团簇B₁₂Sc₄和B₁₂Ti₄, 基于理论计算, 研究了它们的结构与储氢性质. 结果发现, 在这两个稳定的团簇中, 过渡金属原子不会聚合在一起而影响它们对氢气的吸附. B₁₂Sc₄最多可以吸附12个氢分子, 达到7.25% (质量分数)的储氢量. 它的平均每氢分子吸附能量为10.5 kJ·mol^-1. B₁₂Ti₄最多只能吸附8个氢分子, 储氢量为4.78%. 但平均每氢分子吸附能量可达50.2 kJ·mol^-1. 进一步计算表明, 即使在77 K,也需要很高的氢气压力才能使12个氢分子都吸附到B₁₂Sc₄上. 电子结构分析表明, B₁₂Ti₄-nH₂吸附结构中的Kubas作用要大于相应B₁₂Sc₄-nH₂结构中的Kubas作用.     

Probing the Electronic Structure of the CoB16- Drum Complex: Unusual Oxidation State of Co-1

Since the discovery of the first drum-like CoB₁₆^- complex, metal-doped drum-like boron nanotubular structures have been investigated with various metal dopants and different tubular size, forming a new class of novel nanostructures. The CoB₁₆^- cluster was found to be composed of a central Co atom coordinated by two fused B₈ rings in a tubular structure, representing the potential embryo of metal-filled boron nanotubes and providing opportunities to design one-dimensional metal-boron nanostructures. Here we report improved photoelectron spectroscopy and a more in-depth electronic structure analysis of CoB₁₆^-, providing further insight into the chemical bonding and stability of the drum-like doped boron tubular structures. Most interestingly, we find that the central Co atom has an unusually low oxidation state of ?1 and neutral CoB₁₆ can be viewed as a charge transfer complex (Co^-@BB₁₆⁺), suggesting both covalent and electrostatic interactions between the dopant and the boron drum.     

The electronic states of 1,2,5-oxadiazole studied by VUV absorption spectroscopy and CI, CCSD(T) and DFT methods

The 1,2,5-oxadiazole VUV absorption spectrum in the range 5–11.5 eV, shows broad bands centred near 6.2, 7.1, 8.3, 8.8, 10.6 and 11.3 eV. Rydberg states associated with three ionisation energies (IE) were identified in the complex fine structure above 8.7 eV. Electronic vertical excitation energies for singlet and triplet valence, and Rydberg states were computed using ab initio multi-reference multi-root CI methods. There is generally a good correlation between the envelope of the theoretical intensities and the experimental spectrum. The nature of the more intense calculated Rydberg states, and positions of the main valence and Rydberg bands are discussed. The lowest triplet, singlet and Rydberg 3s excited states have equilibrium structures that are non-planar with C_S symmetry, in a chair-like orientation where the O and H atoms lie out of the NCCN plane. This finding is consistent with the doubling of the low energy UV spectral lines [B.J. Forrest, A.W. Richardson, Can. J. Chem., 50 (1972) 2088].The nearly degenerate IE of the UV-photoelectron spectrum (UV–PES, Palmer et al. 1977) makes analysis of the VUV spectrum difficult, leading to the necessity for reinvestigation. Vertical studies (IE_V) using CI, Tamm–Dancoff (TDA) and Green’s Function (GF) methods all gave similar results, with near degeneracy of the first 3IE_V confirming the earlier study. Studies of the adiabatic IE (IE_A) using CCSD(T) and B3LYP methods, showed the energy sequence ²A₂ < ²B₁ < ²B₂, but these states are all saddle points, in contrast to the 4th state (²A₁) which is a minimum. In contrast, MP2 study of the ²B₂ state showed a minimum, with only two saddle points.Complete minima were found after minor twisting of the structures. The lowest energy cationic state is ²A^″ (C_S), which closely resembles the ²B₂ state. The O–N–C–C skeleton is twisted by 8°. The corresponding ²A^′ state (C_S) is effectively identical to the ²B₁ state. Attempts to find minima for other symmetry states were unsuccessful.     

Structural Evolution and Electronic Properties of Au2Gen-/0 (n=1-8) Clusters: Anion Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Theoretical Calculations

Investigating the structures and properties of Au-Ge mixed clusters can give insight into the microscopic mechanisms in gold-catalyzed Ge films and can also provide valuable information for the production of germanium-based functional materials. In this work, size-selected anion photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical calculations were used to explore the structural evolution and electronic properties of Au₂Ge_n^-/0 (n=1-8) clusters. It is found that the two Au atoms in Au₂Ge_n^-/0 (n=1-8) showed high coordination numbers and weak aurophilic interactions. The global minima of Au₂Ge_n^- anions and Au₂Ge_n neutrals are in spin doublet and singlet states, respectively. Au₂Ge_n^- anions and Au₂Ge_n neutrals showed similar structural features, except for Au₂Ge₄^-/0 and Au₂Ge₅^-/0. The C_2v symmetric V-shaped structure is observed for Au₂Ge₁^-/0, while Au₂Ge₂^-/0 has a C_2v symmetric dibridged structure. Au₂Ge₃^-/0 can be viewed as the two Au atoms attached to different Ge-Ge bonds of Ge₃ triangle. Au₂Ge₄^- has two Au atoms edge-capping Ge₄ tetrahedron, while Au₂Ge₄ neutral adopts a C_2v symmetric double Au atoms face-capping Ge₄ rhombus. Au₂Ge_5-8^-/0 show triangular, tetragonal, and pentagonal prism-based geometries. Au₂Ge₆ adopts a C_2v symmetric tetragonal prism structure and exhibits σ plus π double bonding characters.

35Cl/37Cl-Verschiebungen in den infrarotspektren von matrixisoliertem tetrachloräthylen und phosgen und ihre auswertung in der kraftkonstantenberechnung

³⁵Cl/³⁷Cl-shift of υ₉B_2u and υ₁₁(B_3u) was measured for matrix isolated C₂ Cl₄, using a sample with ³⁵Cl-enrichment. Also an earlier measurement of the ¹³C-shift of υ₅(B_1g) is reported. Isotopic shifts and fundamentals are used in a force constant calculation of the species B_1g, B_2u and B_3u. The dependence of the A_1gsymmetry force constant on the interaction term is examined. The ³⁵Cl/³⁷Cl shift of υ₂(A₁) and υ₄ (B₁) of matrix isolated Cl₂CO are determined. The calculated B_1g force constants of matrix isolated Cl ₂CO are remarkably different from the force constants based on vapour state measurements.
