硅氧团簇(SiO2)nO2H4的密度泛函理论研究

提出硅氧团簇(SiO2)nO2H4的两种新构型: 基于笼状结构和环状结构的构型, 并与链状构型相比较, 用密度泛函理论的B3LYP方法在6-31G(d)基组水平上计算了三种构型n=2～22(n取偶数)的几何结构、平均结合能、能隙以及能量的二次差分. 分析计算结果发现, 笼状构型不但在n=4和8处存在幻数团簇(实验上已经观察到), 而且预测在n=14处也存在类似的幻数团簇; 此外, 与(SiO2)n团簇不同的是, (SiO2)nO2H4团簇的环状构型的稳定性从n=4开始大于链状构型, 意味着水的加成对硅氧团簇的稳定性有着重要的影响.

The structural and electronic properties of Ag-adsorbed (SiO2)n (n=1-7) clusters

Equilibrium geometries, charge distributions, stabilities, and electronic properties of the Ag-adsorbed (SiO(2))(n) (n=1-7) clusters have been investigated using density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation for exchange-correlation functional. The results show that the Ag atom preferably binds to silicon atom with dangling bond in nearly a fixed direction, and the incoming Ag atoms tend to cluster on the existing Ag cluster leading to the formation of Ag islands. The adsorbed Ag atom only causes charge redistributions of the atoms near itself. The effect of the adsorbed Ag atom on the bonding natures and structural features of the silica clusters is minor, attributing to the tendency of stability order of Ag(SiO(2))(n) (n=1-7) clusters in consistent with silica clusters. In addition, the energy gaps between the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals remarkably decrease compared with the pure (SiO(2))(n) (n=1-7) clusters, eventually approaching the near infrared radiation region. This suggests that these small clusters may be an alternative material which has a similar functionality in treating cancer to the large gold-coated silica nanoshells and the small Au(3)(SiO(2))(3) cluster.     

Charge-transfer processes in the assembly of Si(n)O(m) neutral clusters

The chemical bond formation in oxygen-rich Si(n)O(m) clusters was investigated by sampling the potential energy surface of the model systems SiO + SiO(2) → Si(2)O(3) and (SiO)(2) + SiO(2) → Si(3)O(4) along a two-dimensional reaction coordinate, by density functional theory calculations. Evidence for crossing between the weakly bound neutral-neutral (SiO)(n) + SiO(2) and the highly attractive ion-pair (SiO)(n)(+) + SiO(2)(-) surfaces was found. Analysis of frontier molecular orbitals and charge distribution showed that surface crossing involves transfer of valence electron charge from (SiO)(2) to SiO(2). The sum of the natural atomic charges over the (SiO)(n) and (SiO(2)) groups of the Si(n)O(m) cluster products, gave a net positive charge on the (SiO)(n) "core" and a net negative charge on the (SiO(2)) groups. This is interpreted as the "ion-pair memory" left on the Si(n)O(m) products by the charge-transfer mechanism and may provide a way to assess the role of charge-transfer processes in the assembly of larger Si(n)O(m) neutral clusters.     

Density Functional Theory Study on the Structural and Electronic Properties of Ge（SiO_2）_n Clusters

The geometry,stability,binding energy and electronic properties of(SiO2)n and Ge(SiO2)n clusters(n = 7) have been investigated by Density functional theory(DFT).The results show that the lowest energy structures of Ge(SiO2)n are obtained by adding one Ge on the end site of the O atom or the Si near end site of the O atom in(SiO2)n.The chemical activation of Ge-(SiO2)n is improved compared with(SiO2)n.The calculated second-order difference of energies and fragmentation energies show that the Ge(SiO2)n clusters with n = 2 or 5 are stable.     

Energetics and structures of the initial stages of nucleation of (SiO(2))(N) species: possible routes to highly symmetrical tetrahedral clusters

A detailed survey of the low energy isomer spectrum of (SiO(2))(N), N= 6-10, 13, 16 has been performed using interatomic potential based global optimisations refined via high-level density functional calculations. Within these spectra, including many isomers reported for the first time, structurally and energetically viable pathways for the initial stages of silica cluster growth through SiO(2) nucleation are identified. The role of the exceptionally stable (SiO(2))(8) ground state "magic" cluster is highlighted in the possible formation of highly symmetric fully tetrahedral clusters of size (SiO(2))(10) and (SiO(2))(16). These clusters are found to form a part of a natural (SiO(2))(N)N= 7, 10, 13, 16 sequence together with the C(3v) ground states for (SiO(2))(7) and (SiO(2))(13). The fully tetrahedral clusters are argued to be likely relatively long-lived metastable species in the process of gas phase SiO(2) nucleation due to the manner of their termination. It is speculated that larger tetrahedral (SiO(2))(40) clusters may exhibit porous structures.     

Alkanethiol-induced structural rearrangements in silica-gold core-shell-type nanoparticle clusters: an opportunity for chemical sensor engineering

Electrostatically bonded SiO2.Au nanoparticle clusters form by reaction of 3-aminopropylsilane-modified SiO2 spheres (470 nm) with citrate-coated gold nanoparticles (9.7 nm) in water. Reaction of the clusters with 0.01 M KBr or HCl solution induces desorption of the gold nanoparticles within minutes. Reaction of the clusters with alkanethiols CnH2n+1SH (n = 2-18) at 80 degrees C causes the gold nanoparticles to form stringlike gold nanoparticle structures for thiols with short alkane groups (n = 2, 3, 4) and hexagonally packed arrays of gold nanoparticles for thiols with long alkane groups (n = 5-18) on the silica surfaces. The structural changes indicate that the bonding between Au and SiO2 nanoparticles has changed from electrostatic to van der Waals. Elemental analyses show that the reaction with hexanethiol does not affect the Au/Si/O composition of the SiO2.Au cluster, and Raman spectra on the hexanethiol-reacted cluster indicate the formation of a thiol SAM on the gold nanoparticles. The thiol-reacted SiO2.Au clusters display characteristic shifts of the absorption maxima in the visible spectra, and there is an inverse relation between these shifts and the lengths of the alkyl groups in the thiols. This relationship can be understood in terms of the free electron model for metals. The use of SiO2.Au nanoparticle clusters as coulometric sensors for the qualitative detection of thiols is discussed.     

Structure and stability of oxygen adsorption on Si(n) (n = 5-10) clusters

The structures, binding energies, and electronic properties of one oxygen atom (O) and two oxygen atoms (2O) adsorption on silicon clusters Si(n) with n ranging from 5 to 10 are studied systematically by ab initio calculations. Twelve stable structures are obtained, two of which are in agreement with those reported in previous literature and the others are new structures that have not been proposed before. Further investigations on the fragmentations of Si(n)O and Si(n)O2 (n = 5-10) clusters indicate that the pathways Si(n)O --> Si(n-1) + SiO and Si(n)O2 --> Si(n-2) + Si2O2 are most favorable from thermodynamic viewpoint. Among the studied silicon oxide clusters, Si8O, Si9O, Si5O2 and Si8O2 correspond to large adsorption energies of silicon clusters with respect to O or 2O, while Si8O, with the smallest dissociation energy, has a tendency to separate into Si7 + SiO. Using the recently developed quasi-atomic minimal-basis-orbital method, we have also calculated the unsaturated valences of the neutral Si(n) clusters. Our calculation results show that the Si atoms which have the largest unsaturated valences are more attractive to O atom. Placing O atom right around the Si atoms with the largest unsaturated valences usually leads to stable structures of the silicon oxide clusters.     

Magic number silicon dioxide-based clusters: laser ablation-mass spectrometric and density functional theory studies

The magic number silica clusters [(SiO(2))(n)O(2)H(3)](-) with n = 4 and 8 have been observed in the XeCl excimer laser (308 nm) ablation of various porous siliceous materials. The structural origin of the magic number clusters has been studied by the density functional theoretical calculation at the B3LYP/6-31G** level, with a genetic algorithm as a supplementary tool for global structure searching. The DFT results of the first magic number cluster are parallel to the corresponding Hartree-Fock results previously reported with only small differences in the structural parameters. Theoretical calculation predicts that the first magic number cluster (SiO(2))(4)O(2)H(4) and its anion [(SiO(2))(4)O(2)H(3)](-) will most probably take pseudotetrahedral cage-like structures. To study the structural properties of the second magic number cluster, geometries of the bare cluster (SiO(2))(8), the neutral complex cluster (SiO(2))(8)O(2)H(4), and the anionic cluster [(SiO(2))(8)O(2)H(3)](-) are fully optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G** level, and the corresponding vibrational frequencies are calculated. The DFT calculations predict that the ground state of the bare silica octamer (SiO(2))(8) has a linear chain structure, whereas the second magic number complex cluster (SiO(2))(8)O(2)H(4) and its anion [(SiO(2))(8)O(2)H(3)](-) are most probably a mixture of cubic cage-like structural isomers with an O atom inside the cage and several quasi-bicage isomers with high intercage interactions. The stabilization of these structures can also be attributed to the active participation of the group of atoms 2O and 4H (3H for the anion) in chemical bonding during cluster formation. Our theoretical calculation gives preliminary structural interpretation of the presence of the first and second magic number clusters and the absence of higher magic numbers.

反应条件对固相合成负载羰基铑原子簇催化剂及其性能的影响

本文报告了由金属盐直接固相合成负载铑络合物或原子簇催化剂的新方法及IR谱表征。CO容易使表面吸附有水分子的RhCl_3/SiO_2还原并生成表面羰基物Rh~+-(CO)_2/SiO_2;CO、CO/H_2和CO/2H_2等不同还原气对表面络合物的生成没有影响。采用H_2还原只能得到金属Rh催化剂。水是重要影响因素,如果RhCl_3/SiO_2先抽空脱水,再用含水的CO还原,就会使Rh~+(CO)_2/SiO_2转化为Rh_6(CO)_(16)/SiO_2。此外,还考察了负载原子簇的CO加氢和热分解反应性能。采用CO还原RhCl_3/SiO_2制备的催化剂同负载原子簇催化剂的反应行为非常相近,而且比传统催化剂具有更高的反应活性。
