X-ray absorption spectroscopic study on the electronic structure of Li(1)(-)(x)()CoPO(4) electrodes as 4.8 V positive electrodes for rechargeable lithium ion batteries

Changes in the electronic structure of olivine Li(1-x)CoPO(4), 4.8 V positive electrode material for lithium ion batteries, were investigated using the X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) technique. The threshold energy in the Co K-edge increased with electrochemical Li removal, indicating the oxidation of cobalt ions due to charge compensation. Moreover, P and O K-edge XAS showed a slight shift in threshold energy with Li removal. Although it is generally believed that the electrons of PO(4) polyanion do not contribute to the oxidation process, present experimental results indicate changes in the electronic structure around PO(4) units. Such results would be interpreted by the idea of the hybridization effect between the Co 3d and O 2p orbitals and of the polarization effect introduced by Li ions.     

Experimental and theoretical studies of the quenching of Li(3p,4p) by N2

Quenching mechanisms of the Li3p and Li4p states in collision with the nitrogen molecule are studied by laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy and by a quantum chemical calculation. The Li3p state is observed to be efficiently quenched to the Li3s state detected as intense 3s-->2p emission. The Li4p state is efficiently quenched to the Li4s and Li3d states detected as 4s-2p and 3d-2p emissions, respectively. The potential-energy surfaces for the Li(2s-4p)N2 states show a large number of conical intersections and avoided crossings resulting from the couplings between the ionic [Li+(N2)-] and covalent configurations. There are a large number of stable excited states, and we give here the spectroscopic constants for the lowest two stable isomers correlating to Li2p+N2.     

Electronic structure of phospho-olivines Li(x)FePO4 (x = 0, 1) from soft-x-ray-absorption and -emission spectroscopies

The electronic structure of the phospho-olivine Li(x)FePO4 was studied using soft-x-ray-absorption (XAS) and emission spectroscopies. Characteristic changes in the valence and conduction bands are observed upon delithation of LiFePO4 into FePO4. In LiFePO4, the Fe-3d states are localized with little overlap with the O-2p states. Delithiation of LiFePO4 gives stronger hybridization between Fe-3d states and O-2p states leading to delocalization of the O-2p states. The Fe L-edge absorption spectra yield "fingerprints" of the different valence states of Fe in LiFePO4 and FePO4. Resonant soft-x-ray-emission spectroscopy at the Fe L edge shows strong contributions from resonant inelastic soft x-ray scattering (RIXS), which is described using an ionic picture of the Fe-3d states. Together the Fe L-edge XAS and RIXS study reveals a bonding character of the Fe 3d-O2p orbitals in FePO4 in contrast to a nonbonding character in LiFePO4.     

Changes in electronic structure upon lithium insertion into Fe2(SO4)3 and Fe2(MoO4)3 investigated by X-ray absorption spectroscopy

Changes in electronic structure upon electrochemical lithium insertion into two iron compounds, namely, rhombohedral Fe2(SO4)3 with a NASICON-type structure and monoclinic Fe2(MoO4)3, were investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). Fe K-edge and L(III)- and L(II)-edge XAS revealed that the rearrangement of Fe d electrons or rehybridization of Fe d-O p bonding took place accompanied by the reduction of Fe ions upon Li insertion for both samples and that a larger change in spectra was observed in Fe2(SO4)3. In addition, the changes in the electronic structure of the polyanion units XO4(2-) (X = S or Mo) after Li insertion were also investigated by O K-edge and S K-edge or Mo L(III)-edge XAS. The results indicated that the electronic structure around oxygen markedly changed in Fe2(MoO4)3, while no significant change was observed in Fe2(SO4)3.     

Stable transition metal complexes of an all-metal antiaromatic molecule (Al4Li4): role of complexations

We propose for the first time a few examples of stable transition metal complexes of an all-metal antiaromatic molecule Al4Li4. We demonstrate that these all-metal species can be stabilized by complexation with 3d transition metals very similar to their organic counterpart, C4H4. Complexation to transition metal ions reduces the frontier orbital energies and introduces aromatic charactersitics. We consider a series of such complexes: [eta4-(Al4Li4)-Fe(CO)3, eta2,sigma2-(Al4Li4)-Ni, and (Al4Li4)2Ni] and compare and contrast their energetics with their organometallic counterparts. Fragmentation energy, orbital correlation energy analysis, and the nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) values support the complexation-induced stabilities in these systems.     

Iron-arylimide clusters [Fe(m)()(NAr)(n)Cl(4)](2)(-) (m,n = 2, 2; 3, 4; 4, 4) from a ferric amide precursor: synthesis,characterization, and comparison to Fe-S chemistry

Tetrahedral FeCl[N(SiMe(3))(2)](2)(THF) (2), prepared from FeCl(3) and 2 equiv of Na[N(SiMe(3))(2)] in THF, is a useful ferric starting material for the synthesis of weak-field iron-imide (Fe-NR) clusters. Protonolysis of 2 with aniline yields azobenzene and [Fe(2)(mu-Cl)(3)(THF)(6)](2)[Fe(3)(mu-NPh)(4)Cl(4)] (3), a salt composed of two diferrous monocations and a trinuclear dianion with a formal 2 Fe(III)/1 Fe(IV) oxidation state. Treatment of 2 with LiCl, which gives the adduct [FeCl(2)(N(SiMe(3))(2))(2)](-) (isolated as the [Li(TMEDA)(2)](+) salt), suppresses arylamine oxidation/iron reduction chemistry during protonolysis. Thus, under appropriate conditions, the reaction of 1:1 2/LiCl with arylamine provides a practical route to the following Fe-NR clusters: [Li(2)(THF)(7)][Fe(3)(mu-NPh)(4)Cl(4)] (5a), which contains the same Fe-NR cluster found in 3; [Li(THF)(4)](2)[Fe(3)(mu-N-p-Tol)(4)Cl(4)] (5b); [Li(DME)(3)](2)[Fe(2)(mu-NPh)(2)Cl(4)] (6a); [Li(2)(THF)(7)][Fe(2)(mu-NMes)(2)Cl(4)] (6c). [Li(DME)(3)](2)[Fe(4)(mu(3)-NPh)(4)Cl(4)] (7), a trace product in the synthesis of 5a and 6a, forms readily as the sole Fe-NR complex upon reduction of these lower nuclearity clusters. Products were characterized by X-ray crystallographic analysis, by electronic absorption, (1)H NMR, and M?ssbauer spectroscopies, and by cyclic voltammetry. The structures of the Fe-NR complexes derive from tetrahedral iron centers, edge-fused by imide bridges into linear arrays (5a,b; 6a,c) or the condensed heterocubane geometry (7), and are homologous to fundamental iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster motifs. The analogy to Fe-S chemistry also encompasses parallels between Fe-mediated redox transformations of nitrogen and sulfur ligands and reductive core conversions of linear dinuclear and trinuclear clusters to heterocubane species and is reinforced by other recent examples of iron- and cobalt-imide cluster chemistry. The correspondence of nitrogen and sulfur chemistry at iron is intriguing in the context of speculative Fe-mediated mechanisms for biological nitrogen fixation.

Sandwich-like compounds based on the all-metal aromatic unit Al(4)2- and the main-group metals M (M=Li, Na, K, Be, Mg, Ca)

Inspired by the pioneering experimental characterisation of the all-metal aromatic unit Al(4)2- in the bimetallic molecules MAl4- (M=Li, Na, Cu) and by the very recent theoretical design of sandwich-type transition-metal complexes [Al4MAl4]q- (q=0-2; M=Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, W), we used density functional theory (DFT) calculations (B3LYP/6-311+G(d) to design a series of novel non-transition-metal sandwich complexes based on the all-metal aromatic unit Al4(2-) and the main-group metals M (M=Li, Na, K, Be, Mg, Ca). The traditional homo-decked sandwich compounds [Al4MAl4]q- (without counterions) and (nM)q+[Al4MAl4]q- (with counterions M) (q=2-3, M=Li, Na, K, Be, Mg, Ca), although some of them are truly energy minima, have a much higher energy than many fused isomers. We thus concluded that it seems unlikely for Al4(2-) to sandwich the main-group metal atoms in the homo-decked sandwich form. Alternatively, we proposed a new type of sandwich complex, namely hetero-decked sandwich compounds [CpMAl4]q-, that are the ground-state structures for each M both with and without counterions. It was shown that with the rigid Cp- partner, the all-metal aromatic unit Al(4)2- might indeed act as a "superatom". These new types of all-metal aromatic unit-based sandwich complexes await future experimental verification.     

Computational studies on the photophysical properties and NMR fluxionality of the tetranuclear copper(I) complexes [Cu4(mu-dppm)4(mu4-E)]2+ (E = PPh and S)

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the hybrid Perdew, Burke, and Ernzerhof functional level were performed to study the electronic structures of the ground and excited states of the luminescent tetranuclear copper(I) complexes [Cu4(mu-dppm)4(mu4-E)]2+ [E = PPh (1) and S (2)] by using model complexes [Cu4(mu-H2PCH2PH2)4(mu4-E)]2+ [E = PPh (1a) and S (2a)]. The time-dependent DFT method at the same level associated with the conductor-like polarizable continuum model was used to study the nature of the low-energy transitions in their electronic absorption spectra. The results indicate that the lowest energy absorptions of both 1 and 2 are attributed to ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) (E --> Cu4) with mixing of metal-cluster-centered (MCC) (3d --> 4s/3d --> 4p) singlet-singlet transitions. The geometry optimizations on the lowest energy triplet state reveal that the emissive states of both complexes involve a considerable structural distortion in which they are derived predominantly from an admixture of 3LMCT (E --> Cu4) and 3MCC (3d --> 4p) origin. In addition to the photophysical properties, the fluxional behavior of 2 observed from the NMR studies but not that of 1 was investigated. It is found that the fluxionality in 2 involves the shuttling of the sulfido ligand through the rectangular Cu4 core.     

A (T-P) phase diagram of hydrogen storage on (N4C3H)6Li6

Temperature-pressure phase diagrams are generated through the study of hydrogen adsorption on the (N(4)C(3)H)(6)Li(6) cluster at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level of theory. The possibility of hydrogen storage in an associated 3D functional material is also explored. Electronic structure calculations are performed to generate temperature-pressure phase diagrams so that the temperature-pressure zones are identified where the Gibbs free energy change associated with the hydrogen adsorption process on (N(4)C(3)H)(6)Li(6) cluster becomes negative and hence thermodynamically favorable. Both adsorption and desorption processes are likely to be kinetically feasible as well.     

Photoelectron spectroscopy and the electronic structure of the uranyl tetrachloride dianion: UO(2)Cl(4) (2-)

The uranyl tetrachloride dianion (UO(2)Cl(4) (2-)) is observed in the gas phase using electrospray ionization and investigated by photoelectron spectroscopy and relativistic quantum chemical calculations. Photoelectron spectra of UO(2)Cl(4) (2-) are obtained at various photon energies and congested spectral features are observed. The free UO(2)Cl(4) (2-) dianion is found to be highly stable with an adiabatic electron binding energy of 2.40 eV. Ab initio calculations are carried out and used to interpret the photoelectron spectra and elucidate the electronic structure of UO(2)Cl(4) (2-). The calculations show that the frontier molecular orbitals in UO(2)Cl(4) (2-) are dominated by the ligand Cl 3p orbitals, while the U-O bonding orbitals are much more stable. The electronic structure of UO(2)Cl(4) (2-) is compared with that of the recently reported UO(2)F(4) (2-) [P. D. Dau, J. Su, H. T. Liu, J. B. Liu, D. L. Huang, J. Li, and L. S. Wang, Chem. Sci. 3 1137 (2012)]. The electron binding energy of UO(2)Cl(4) (2-) is found to be 1.3 eV greater than that of UO(2)F(4) (2-). The differences in the electronic stability and electronic structure between UO(2)Cl(4) (2-) and UO(2)F(4) (2-) are discussed.

New examples of metalloaromatic Al-clusters: (Al4M4)Fe(CO)3 (M = Li, Na and K) and (Al4M4)2Ni: rationalization for possible synthesis

Ab initio calculations reveal that all-metal antiaromatic molecules like Al4M4 (M = Li, Na and K) can be stabilized in half sandwich (Al4M4)Fe(CO)3 and full sandwich (Al4M4)2Ni complexes. The formation of the full sandwich complex [(Al4M4)2Ni] from its organometallic precursor depends on the stability of the organic-inorganic hybrid (C4H4)Ni(Al4Li4).     

Binding energies of small lithium clusters (Li(n)) and hydrogenated lithium clusters (Li(n)H)

Large coupled cluster computations utilizing the Dunning weighted correlation-consistent polarized core-valence (cc-pwCVXZ) hierarchy of basis sets have been conducted, resulting in a panoply of internally consistent geometries and atomization energies for small Li(n) and Li(n)H (n=1-4) clusters. In contrast to previous ab initio results, we predict a monotonic increase in atomization energies per atom with increasing cluster size for lithium clusters, in accordance with the historical Knudsen-effusion measurements of Wu. For hydrogenated lithium clusters, our results support previous theoretical work concerning the relatively low atomization energy per atom for Li(2)H compared to LiH and Li(3)H. The CCSD(T)/cc-pwCVQZ atomization energies for LiH, Li(2)H, Li(3)H, and the most stable isomer of Li(4)H, including zero-point energy corrections, are 55.7, 79.6, 113.0, and 130.6 kcal/mol, respectively. The latter results are not consistent with the most recent experiments of Wu.     

LiFe(MoO4)2, LiGa(MoO4)2 and Li3Ga(MoO4)3

The structures of lithium iron dimolybdate, LiFe(MoO₄)₂, and lithium gallium dimolybdate, LiGa(MoO₄)₂, are shown to be isomorphous with each other. Their structures consist of segregated layers of LiO₆ bicapped trigonal bipyramids and Fe(Ga)O₆ octahedra separated and linked by layers of isolated MoO₄ tetrahedra. The redetermined structure of trilithium gallium trimolybdate, Li₃Ga(MoO₄)₃, shows substitional disorder on the Li/Ga site and consists of perpendicular chains of LiO₆ trigonal prisms and two types of differently linked Li/GaO₆ octahedra.     

Novel superalkali superhalogen compounds (Li3)+(SH)- (SH=LiF2, BeF3, and BF4) with aromaticity: new electrides and alkalides.

Optimized structures, with all real frequencies, of superalkali superhalides (Li(3))(+)(SH)(-) (SH=LiF(2), BeF(3), and BF(4)), are obtained, for the first time, at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ and MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ computational levels. These superalkali superhalides possess three characteristics that are significantly different from normal alkali halides. 1) They have a variety of structures, which come from five bonding mode types: edge-face, edge-edge, face-face, face-edge, and staggered face-edge. We find that the bonding mode type closely correlates with the Li(3)-SH bond energy. 2) The valence electrons on the Li(3) ring are pushed out by the (SH)(-) anion, and become excess electrons, conferring alkalide or electride characteristics on these Li(3)-SH species, depending on the bonding mode type. 3) The highest occupied molecular orbital of each Li(3)-SH species is a doubly occupied delocalized sigma bonding orbital on the Li(3) ring, which indicates its aromaticity. It is noticeable that the maximum negative nucleus-independent chemical shift value (about -10 ppm) moves out from the center of the Li(3) ring, owing to repulsion by the SH(-) anion. We find that these superalkali superhalides are not only complicated "supermolecules", but are also a new type of alkalide or electride, with aromaticity.     

Infrared spectroscopy of Li(NH3)n clusters for n=4-7

Infrared spectra of Li(NH3)(n) clusters as a function of size are reported for the first time. Spectra have been recorded in the N-H stretching region for n=4-->7 using a mass-selective photodissociation technique. For the n=4 cluster, three distinct IR absorption bands are seen over a relatively narrow region, whereas the larger clusters yield additional features at higher frequencies. Ab initio calculations have been carried out in support of these experiments for the specific cases of n=4 and 5 for various isomers of these clusters. The bands observed in the spectrum for Li(NH3)(4) can all be attributed to N-H stretching vibrations from solvent molecules in the first solvation shell. The appearance of higher frequency N-H stretching bands for n > or =5 is assigned to the presence of ammonia molecules located in a second solvent shell. These data provide strong support for previous suggestions, based on gas phase photoionization measurements, that the first solvation shell for Li(NH3)(n) is complete at n=4. They are also consistent with neutron diffraction studies of concentrated lithium/liquid ammonia solutions, where Li(NH3)(4) is found to be the basic structural motif.     

Microsolvation of cationic dimers in 4He droplets: geometries of A+2(He)N (A=Li, Na, K) from optimized energies

Ab initio computed interaction forces are employed to describe the microsolvation of the A+2(2Sigma) (A=Li, Na, K) molecular ion in 4He clusters of small variable size. The minimum energy structures are obtained by performing energy minimization based on a genetic algorithm approach. The symmetry features of the collocation of solvent adatoms around the dimeric cation are analyzed in detail, showing that the selective growth of small clusters around the two sides of the ion during the solvation process is a feature common to all three dopants.     

New method for calculating bound states: the A(1) states of Li(3) on the spin-aligned Li(3)(1 (4)A(')) potential energy surface

In this paper, we present a calculation for the bound states of A(1) symmetry on the spin-aligned Li(3)(1 (4)A(')) potential energy surface. We apply a mixture of discrete variable representation and distributed approximating functional methods to discretize the Hamiltonian. We also introduce a new method that significantly reduces the computational effort needed to determine the lowest eigenvalues and eigenvectors (bound state energies and wave functions of the full Hamiltonian). In our study, we have found the lowest 150 energy bound states converged to less than 0.005% error, and most of the excited energy bound states converged to less than 2.0% error. Furthermore, we have estimated the total number of the A(1) bound states of Li(3) on the spin-aligned Li(3)(1 (4)A(')) potential surface to be 601.
