首次采用TINKER构象搜索和DFT结构优化相结合方法,基于对Ziegler-Natta丙烯聚合催化体系邻苯二甲酸正丁酯(DNBP)给电子体快速搜索出的1 023种构象,筛选出其优势构象,减少了给电子体初始稳定结构搭建模型的盲目性和随机性.采用DFT方法,对DNBP两种构象与MgCl_2载体相互作用及丙烯插入立体选择性机理进行了研究.结果表明,DNBP构象影响其在Mg Cl2表面的吸附,s-顺、反式构象可以单齿、桥连和螯合方式吸附在MgCl_2(110)表面;s-顺、顺式仅存在桥连吸附.双氯原子缺陷载体模型上Ti Cl4吸附的稳定性高于DNBP,成为可能的活性中心;给电子体对活性位的作用与其吸附方式有关,DNBP以桥连方式吸附在Ti的邻位,可将无规活性中心有效转化为等规活性中心,而螯合方式不能改善催化剂的立体结构和区域选择性.     

2,4-戊二醇二苯甲酸酯的质谱研究

在MgCl2为载体的Ziegler-Natta催化剂中必须加入内给电子体化合物,以提高催化剂的定向能力.内给电子体能够避免研磨过程中MgCl2颗粒的重聚集,具有稳定MgCl2初级晶粒、增大比表面积的作用;更重要的是内给电子体还易于吸附在MgCl2的(110)面上,使活性中心TiCl4不易在(110)面上配位,避免无规中心的形成[1-2].因此内给电子体在Z-N催化剂中起着非常重要的作用,其化学结构和在催化剂中的含量对催化剂及聚丙烯的性能影响很大.

硅烷类外给电子体对丙烯-丁烯序贯聚合的调控作用

外给电子体(ED)作为负载型Ziegler-Natta催化剂的一个重要组分, 在影响α-烯烃的催化活性及聚合物的立构规整性方面发挥着重要作用. 本文研究了4种不同结构及电子密度的硅烷类外给电子体[二甲基二甲氧基硅烷(D1)、 二丁基二甲氧基硅烷(D2)、 二苯基二甲氧基硅烷(D3)及二环戊基二甲氧基硅烷(D4)]对丙烯均聚及丙烯(一段)-丁烯(二段)序贯聚合的影响. 结果表明, ED对烯烃聚合的催化活性、 活性中心数及活性中心定向能力都具有显著的影响. 密度泛函理论(DFT)模拟计算表明, 随着ED的空间位阻和电子密度增加, ED在MgCl₂表面的吸附能降低, 吸附稳定性降低; ED的空间位阻和电子密度增加有利于提高丙烯聚合活性中心的定向能力, 当n(D4)/n(Ti)=20时, 合成的聚丙烯(PP)中的等规聚丙烯(iPP)组分含量达到92.8%. 当n(ED)/n(Ti)=15时, 丙烯聚合的聚合速率常数达到最大值; 具有更大空间位阻和电子密度的ED使得丙烯-丁烯序贯聚合的活性中心具有更强的定向能力, ED对丁烯(二段)聚合活性及聚丙烯/聚丁烯合金（PBA）中等规聚丁烯(iPB)组分的熔点影响更显著.

Density functional theory calculations of the internal rotations and vibrational spectra of 2-, 3- and 4-formyl pyridine

The torsional potentials, molecular conformations and vibrational spectra, of 2-, 3- and 4-formyl pyridine have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT) method with 6-31+G* basis set. From the calculations, 2-formyl pyridine and 3-formyl pyridine were predicted to exist predominantly in cis conformation with the cis-trans rotational barrier of 9.38 kcal/mol and 8.55 kcal/mol, respectively. The two equivalent planar structures of 4-formyl pyridine are separated by an energy barrier of 7.18 kcal/mol. The vibrational wavenumbers and the corresponding vibrational assignments of molecules in C(s) symmetry were examined theoretically and the calculated Infrared of the molecules in the cis conformation was plotted. Observed wavenumbers for normal modes were compared with those calculated from normal mode coordinate analysis carried out on the basis of DFT force fields using the standard 6-31+G* basis set of the theoretical optimized geometry.     

First-principles investigation of transition metal atom M (M = Cu, Ag, Au) adsorption on CeO2(110)

Transition metal atom M (M = Cu, Ag, Au) adsorption on CeO(2)(110), a technologically important catalytic support surface, is investigated with density-functional theory within the DFT+U formalism. A set of model configurations was generated by placing M at three surface sites, viz., on top of an O, an O bridge site, and a Ce bridge site. Prior to DFT optimization, small distortions in selected Ce-O distances were imposed to explore the energetics associated with reduction of Ce(4+) to Ce(3+) due to charge transfer to Ce during M adsorption. Charge redistribution is confirmed with spin density isosurfaces and site projected density of states. We demonstrate that Cu and Au atoms can be oxidized to Cu(2+) and Au(2+), although the adsorption energy, E(ads), of Au(2+) is less favorable and, unlike Cu(2+), it has not been experimentally observed. Oxidation of Ag always results in Ag(+). For M adsorption at an O bridge site, E(ads)(2NN) > E(ads)(3NN) > E(ads)(1NN) where NN denotes the nearest neighbor Ce(3+) site relative to M. Alternatively, for M adsorption at a Ce bridge site, E(ads)(3NN) > E(ads)(2NN) > E(ads)(1NN). The adsorption behavior of M on CeO(2) (110) is compared with M adsorption on CeO(2)(111).     

Density functional theory study of CO catalytic oxidation on Co_2B_2/TiO_2（110） surface

Titanium dioxide with CoB amorphous alloys nanoparticles deposited on the surface is known to exhibit higher catalytic activity than the CoB amorphous. A study of the structure of such system is necessary to understand this effect. A quantum chemical study of Co2B2 on the TiO2 (110) surface was studied using periodic slab model within the framework of density functional theory (DFT). The results of geometry optimization indicated that the most stable model of adsorption was Co2B2 cluster adsorbed on the hollow site of TiO2.The adsorption energy calculated for Co2B2 on the hollow site was 439.3 kJ/mol.The adsorption of CO and O2 was further studied and the results indicated that CO and O2 are preferred to adsorb on the Co2 site. Co-adsorption of CO and O2 shows that Co2B2/TiO2 is a good catalyst for the oxidation of CO to carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen.

Adsorption of TiCl4 and electron donor on defective MgCl2 surfaces and propylene polymerization over Ziegler-Natta catalyst: A DFT study

The formations of defective MgCl₂ surfaces, and subsequent adsorption of Ti species and electron donor, as well as propylene polymerization over the Ziegler-Natta catalyst have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT) method. Twelve possible support models of regular and defective MgCl₂ (110) and (100) surfaces were built. The individual adsorptions of titanium chlorides as mononuclear or dinuclear, and ethyl benzoate (EB) as electron donor, on these models were evaluated. The analysis of energies presented the cases of EB adsorption were generally more stable than titanium chlorides on both surfaces. Thus, EB as internal electron donor mainly prevented TiCl₄ from coordinating on the MgCl₂ surfaces where mostly non-stereospecific active sites could be formed. Exceptionally, A5 the site model with terminal Cl-vacancy on the MgCl₂ support, presented stronger adsorption of TiCl₄ than that of EB on (110) surface. Since the TiCl₄ and ethyl benzoate (EB) would compete to adsorb on the support surface, it seems reasonable to assume that TiCl₄ might predominately occupy this site, which can act as the most plausible active site for propylene polymerization. The first insertion of propylene monomer into the A5 active site model showed that it exhibited good regioselectivity but poor stereospecificity in the absence of electron donor.     

A DFT Study of 2-Bromothiophene Adsorption on the Rh(111) Surface

<正>Adsorption behaviors of 2-bromothiophene on the Rh(111)surface were discussed with DFT.The results revealed that adsorption at the parallel hol site and bridge site was the most stable.After adsorption,bond length of 2-bromothiophene changed significantly.Molecular plane was distorted,and C-H(Br,S)in the molecule was oblique and upswept against the metal surface.Vertical adsorption site was less stable than the plane adsorption site,but there was no distortion for the thiophene ring after adsorption.Aromaticity of 2-bromothiophene was destroyed at the hol and bridge adsorption sites,and the carbon atom in the thiophene ring presented quasi-sp~3 hybridization.After adsorption at the parallel hol,2-bromothiophene obtained 0.86 electrons in total,and Rh(111)surface lost 2.08 electrons in all.     

Studies of NO adsorption on Pt(110)-(1 x 2) and (1 x 1) surfaces using density functional theory

Adsorption of NO on Pt(110)-(1 x 2) and (1 x 1) surfaces has been investigated by density functional theory (DFT) method (periodic DMol(3)) with full geometry optimization and without symmetry restriction. Adsorption energies, structures, and N-O stretching vibrational frequencies of NO are studied by considering multiple possible adsorption sites and comparing with the experimental data. Adsorption is strongly dependent on both coverage and surface phase. The assignment of adsorption sites has been carried out with precise calculation of vibrational frequencies for NO on various sites. We clearly show the NO site switching on both of the surfaces as found in the experiments: at low coverages, bridge species is formed on the surface, and at high coverages, NO switches to atop sites.     

A DFT study of H2O dissociation on metal‐precovered Fe (100) surface

The H₂O adsorption and dissociation on the Fe (100) surface with different precovered metals are studied by density functional theory. On both kinds of metal‐precovered surface, H₂O molecules prefer adsorb on hollow sites than bridge and top sites. The impurity energy difference is proportional to the adsorption energy, but the adsorbates are not sensitive to the adsorption orientation and height relative to the surface. The Hirshfeld charge analysis shows that water molecules act as an electron donor while the surface Fe atoms act as an electron acceptor. The rotation and dissociation of H₂O molecule occur on the Co‐ and Mn‐precovered surfaces. Some H₂O molecules are dissociated into OH and H groups. The energy barriers are about 0.5 to 1.0 eV, whose are consistence with the experimental data. H₂O molecules can be dissociated more easily at the top site on Co‐precovered surface 1 than that at bridge site on Mn‐precovered surface 2 because of the lower reaction barrier. The dispersion correction effects on the energies and adsorption configurations on Co‐precovered surface 1 were calculated by OBS + PW91. The dispersion contributions can improve a bit of the bond energy of adsorbates and weaken the hydrogen bond effect between adsorption molecules a little.     

Hydrogen adsorption on nickel (100) single-crystal face. A Monte Carlo study of the equilibrium and kinetics

We propose a model of the dissociative adsorption of hydrogen on nickel single-crystal face. In this model, we treat the Ni(100) surface as a strongly correlated energetically heterogeneous surface, because the density functional theory (DFT) studies indicate that hydrogen atoms may adsorb either on hollow sites (energetically more favorable, binding energy 48 kJ/mol H) or bridge sites with the binding energy less by 11 kJ/mol H. The essential assumption of the proposed model is that the dissociation of the hydrogen molecule is possible only over the topmost Ni atom, and the resulting H atoms may adsorb either on two free hollow sites (but the adjacent bridge sites must be free) or two bridge sites (the adjacent hollow sites must be free). If the above condition is not fulfilled, then the dissociation and adsorption are impossible. The second assumption is that the rate (probability) of the associative desorption is limited by the rate of diffusion of H atoms on the surface. This is because the two H atoms desorb, giving an H2 molecule, only when they meet on two adjacent hollow-bridge sites. Our model recovers very well the behavior of the experimental equilibrium adsorption isotherms as well as kinetic isotherms. As a result, we stated that hydrogen atoms are not completely free on the surface, but they cannot also be considered localized at room and elevated temperatures. Additionally, while analyzing the kinetic adsorption isotherms, we stated that the rate-limiting step during the dissociative adsorption of H2 is the disintegration of the activated complex and the subsequent adsorption of hydrogen atoms.     

氢在Mg_2Ni(100)面的吸附及扩散

运用第一性原理研究氢在清洁和掺杂Al的Mg2Ni(100)面的吸附及扩散.在清洁Mg2Ni(100)表面,氢原子可稳定地吸附于Mg-Ni桥位和Mg-Mg桥位,吸附能为1.19-1.52eV.在掺杂Al的Mg2Ni(100)表面,氢原子可稳定吸附于Al-Ni、Mg-Ni、Mg-Al桥位,吸附能为0.10-0.29eV.氢在掺杂Al的Mg2Ni(100)表面的吸附能低于其在清洁表面的吸附能,说明掺杂Al后氢原子与表面的相互作用减弱.过渡态计算结果表明,氢原子由清洁的Mg2Ni(100)面及掺杂Al的Mg2Ni(100)面扩散至次表层的势垒分别为0.59及-0.04eV,掺杂Al后氢原子的扩散势垒降低,说明氢原子更易由掺杂Al表面扩散至次表层.Al原子替代Mg2Ni(100)面的Mg原子减弱氢原子与表面的相互作用,降低氢原子由表层扩散至次表层的势垒,这可能是Mg2Ni合金掺杂Al可改善其吸氢动力学性能的主要原因之一.
