Quantum Chemical Calculations on the Structure and Adsorption Properties of NO and N2O on Ag+ and Cu+ Ion-Exchanged Zeolites

Ab initio cluster quantum chemical calculations at the Hartree–Fock (HF/Lanl2dz) and correlated second-order Moller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2/Lanl2dz) levels were performed for NO and N₂O interactions with Ag⁺ and Cu⁺ ion-exchanged zeolites. The interaction energies were estimated in a conventional way and also corrected for basis set superposition errors. It was shown that the highly dispersed Ag⁺ counterions establish twofold coordination to the lattice oxygens on the zeolite surface, similar to the case of Cu⁺ ions. However, both NO and N₂O bind relatively strongly to the Cu active sites of Cu⁺ ion-exchanged zeolites than those of the Ag⁺ site of the Ag⁺ ion-exchanged zeolites. Based on the results of these calculations, the two different forms of adsorption for these molecules on the catalyst surface, the nature of their binding and characteristics of the adsorption properties have been discussed. Finally, some comparisons with the results obtained by a variety of density functional theory calculations on target systems have been presented.     

Ab initio investigations of the bound rovibrational levels of NeH 2 + , NeHD+, and NeD 2 +

Summary Bound rovibrational levels have been calculated for NeH ₂ ⁺ , NeHD⁺, and NeD ₂ ⁺ using three recent fits to an accurateab initio PES. The NeH ₂ ⁺ molecule behaves essentially as a linear molecule, the predicted rotational constant is 2.57 cm^–1. The fundamental frequencies are 811, 1189, and 1748 cm^–1 for the Ne-H ₂ ⁺ stretch, the Ne-H ₂ ⁺ bend and H ₂ ⁺ stretching modes, respectively.Dedicated to the 60th birthday of Prof. W.

Freezing-point of mixtures of H 2 16 O and H 2 18 O

Freezing-point depression of mixtures of H ₂ ¹⁶ O and H ₂ ¹⁸ O were measured. The results showed that the freezing point of the mixture rose linearly with an increase in the molal concentration of H ₂ ¹⁸ O. The results suggested the formation of a solid solution of H ₂ ¹⁶ O and H ₂ ¹⁸ O by freezing, similar to that formed by H ₂ O–D ₂ O, and that H ₂ ¹⁸ O behaves as a different molecule than H ₂ ¹⁶ O.     

Diatomic interactions in momentum space. The 1sσg and 2pσ u states of H 2 + system

The method of momentum electron density for interatomic interactions has been applied to the two lowest σ states of the H ₂ ⁺ system. For attractive (1sσ_g) and repulsive (2pσ _u ) interactions, the behaviour of momentum density and its effect on the stabilization energy of the system are examined quantitatively. The concept of contraction and expansion of the momentum density is shown to form an important guiding principle in this approach. The origin of covalent bonding is discussed based on the energy partitioning proposed previously.     

Study of the hydrogen bond and of the proton transfer between two H2S molecules

The potential energy surface for the H₂S dimer is calculated as the sum of the SCF-MO-LCGO energy with a new, modified, basis set and the estimated dispersion energy. Proton affinities for SH^– and H₂S, and, as their difference, the energy of the proton transfer between two H₂S molecules, are also calculated. Despite the limited basis set used, the results are consistent with experimental data.This work was partly supported by the Polish Academy of Sciences within the project PAN-3.     

Theoretical rotational-vibrational spectra of theX 3 B 1,a 1 A 1 andb 1 B 1 states of NH 2 +

Summary The three-dimensional potential energy functions have been calculated from highly correlated multireference configuration interaction electronic wavefunctions for theX ³ B ₁,a ¹ A ₁, andb ¹ B ₁ states of the NH ₂ ⁺ ion. For the quasi-linear electronic ground state this information and the electric dipole moment functions have been used to calculate spectroscopic constants, line intensities and rotationally resolved absorption spectra. For thea ¹ A ₁-b ¹ B ₁ bent/quasi-linear Renner-Teller system ro-vibronic energy levels have been obtained from a variational approach accounting for anharmonicity, rotation-vibration and electronic angular momenta coupling effects. The vibronic levels are given for energies up to 13 500 cm^–1 for the bending levels and up to 8000 cm^–1 for the stretching and combination levels.Dedicated in the honor of Prof. Werner Kutzelnigg     

Studies on synthesis, characterization and thermochemistry of Mg2[B2O4(OH)2]·H2O

A new magnesium borate Mg₂[B₂O₄(OH)₂]·H₂O has been synthesized by the method of phase transformation of double salt at hydrothermal condition and characterized by XRD, IR, TG and DSC. The enthalpy of solution of Mg₂[B₂O₄(OH)₂]·H₂O in 0.9764 mol L^–1 HCl was determined. With the incorporation of the enthalpies of solution of H₃BO₃ in HCl (aq), of MgO in (HCl+H₃BO₃) (aq), and the standard molar enthalpies of formation of MgO(s), H₃BO₃(s), and H₂O(l), the standard molar enthalpy of formation of –(3185.78±1.91) kJ mol^–1 of Mg₂[B₂O₄(OH)₂]·H₂O was obtained.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Conductance Studies on Complex Formation Between Aza-18-Crown-6 with Ag+, Hg2+ and Pb2+ Cations in DMSO–H2O Binary Solutions

The complexation reactions between Ag⁺, Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ metal cations with aza-18-crown-6 (A18C6) were studied in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)–water (H₂O) binary mixtures at different temperatures using the conductometric method. The conductance data show that the stoichiometry of the complexes in most cases is 1:1(ML), but in some cases 1:2 (ML₂) complexes are formed in solutions. A non-linear behaviour was observed for the variation of log K _f of the complexes vs. the composition of the binary mixed solvents. Selectivity of A18C6 for Ag⁺, Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ cations is sensitive to the solvent composition and in some cases and in certain compositions of the mixed solvent systems, the selectivity order is changed. The values of thermodynamic parameters (ΔH _c^o, ΔS _c^o) for formation of A18C6–Ag⁺, A18C6–Hg²⁺ and A18C6–Pb²⁺ complexes in DMSO–H₂O binary systems were obtained from temperature dependence of stability constants and the results show that the thermodynamics of complexation reactions is affected by the nature and composition of the mixed solvents.     

Influence of the crystallinity on the Li+ intercalation process in Nb2O5 films

Nb₂O₅ thin films were prepared by the Pechini method. The effect of the film crystallinity on the electrochemical and electrochromic properties was investigated. A relationship between the crystalline structure and the Li⁺ intercalation/extraction process, stability and kinetics was observed. A significant decrease in the electrochemical response was observed as a function of the number of cycles for films treated at 400 and 450 °C. However, as the calcination temperature increases this effect disappears. XRD studies shown that at 400 °C, the material is amorphous, evolving to orthorhombic phase. The transmittance variation as well as the coloration efficiency increases as the temperature is increased. In the initial cycles the intercalation charge is higher for the amorphous oxide than for the orthorhombic phase. However, the variation in the optical density is small. On the other hand, the charge of the orthorhombic phase oxide does not change. These results suggest that there are two different processes associated with Li⁺ intercalation, but only one of them leads to the coloration process.     

钙钛矿结构荧光材料MZrO3:Eu3+,A (M=Ca2+, Ba2+; A=Li+, Na+, K+)的制备及其发光性质

Calcium and barium zirconate powders based upon CaZrO₃:Eu³⁺,A and BaZrO₃:Eu³⁺,A (A=Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺) were prepared by combustion synthesis method and heating to ~1000℃ to improve crystallinity.The structure and morphology of materials were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanningelectron microscopy (SEM). XRD results showed that CaZrO₃:Eu³⁺,A and BaZrO₃:Eu³⁺,A (A=Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺) perovskites possessed orthorhombic and cubic structures, respectively. The morphologies of all powderswere very similar consisting of small, coagulated, cubical particles with narrow size distributions andsmooth and regular surfaces. The characteristic luminescences of Eu³⁺ ions in CaZrO₃:Eu³⁺,A (A=Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺) lattices were present with strong emissions at 614 and 625 nm for ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transitions with other weakeremissions observed at 575, 592, 655, and 701 nm corresponding to ⁵D₀→⁷F_n transitions (where n=0, 1, 3, 4 respectively). In BaZrO₃:Eu³⁺ both the ⁵D₀→⁷F₁ and ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transitions at 595 and 613 nm were strong.Photoluminescence intensities of CaZrO₃:Eu³⁺ samples were higher than those of BaZrO₃:Eu³⁺ lattices. Thisremarkable increase of photoluminescence intensity (corresponding to ⁵D₀→⁷F_n transitions) was observedin CaZrO₃:Eu³⁺ and BaZrO₃:Eu³⁺ if co-doped with Li⁺ ions. An additional broad band composed of manypeaks between 440 to 575 nm was observed in BaZrO₃:Eu³⁺,,A samples. The intensity of this band wasgreatest in Li⁺ co-doped samples and lowest for K⁺ doped samples.     

SCF LCGO MO studies on the fluoronium ion FH 2 + and its hydrogen bonding interaction with hydrogen fluoride FH

The stability and geometrical structure of the fluoronium ion is investigated using the onedeterminant SCF LCAO MO method. The equilibrium geometry is characterized by a bond length of d(FH)=0.95 Å and a bond angle of 114.75°. The proton binding energy is determined to be 120.1 kcal/mole. The molecules FH ₃ ²⁺ and FH₃ are found to be unstable. A binding energy of 30.7 kcal/mole is obtained for the hydrogen bond formation between the systems FH ₂ ⁺ and FH. In the minimum energy structure the central proton is situated midway between the two F atoms in a symmetrical single minimum potential. The general behavior of the potential curves of the di-solvated proton involving NH₃, OH₂, and FH as solvent molecules is discussed. In all these cases double minimum potentials are found, if the equilibrium separation between the heavy atoms is larger than approximately 2.4 Å, and single minimum potential for separations smaller than this value.

Theories of binding in H 2 +

Summary A common, traditional potential energy expression for the theoretical binding energy in the simplest LCAO treatment of H ₂ ⁺ (i.e. using 1s eigenfunctions of the atoms) is derived in the context of Ruedenberg's theory, by virtue of a cancellation between the interference kinetic energy and an identifiable positive part of the interference potential energy arising from charge moving away from dative protons. Thus, although electron sharing raises the total potential energy, its net contribution to the binding energy may be equated to the negative part of the interference potential energy which is due to charge moving towards opposite protons. It is shown that this potential energy expression remains approximately valid when the atomic orbitals are optimally scaled. For contracted orbitals, the cancellation within the interference energy is not exact, and the explanation of contraction through the variation principle is less transparent from a potential energy viewpoint than it is in Ruedenberg's analysis. However, when the orbitals are both contracted and polarised the cancellation is closer to being exact, and the minimisation of the total energy is achieved through competition between the term representing the atomic promotion and deformation energy on the one hand, and the usual potential energy expression on the other.     

Generalized quantum mechanical two-centre problems. IV. On the accuracy of simple LCAO approximations for H 2 + states and the Eckart criterion

If x denotes an exact solution of the quantum mechanical two centre Coulomb problem, we optimize a normalized LCAO approximation by making the overlap S = (x¦) a maximum. In this context we study how a weight factor (r _a r _b )^–1 in the definition of the inner product changes the approximation and the expectation value of electronic energy. Finally we compare the lower bound given by the Eckart criterion with the exact overlap. Results are reported for H ₂ ⁺ states 1s_g and 2p_u.Dedicated to Professor Hermann Hartmann on occasion of his 70th birthday on May 4th, 1984     

Theoretical study of the structure of the CClF2NO and CCl2FNO molecules in the ground and lowest excited singlet and triplet electronic states

The potential energy surfaces of the nitroso compounds CClF₂NO and CCl₂FNO in the ground and lowest excited singlet and triplet electronic states were studied by various ab initio methods (including multiconfigurational methods). The equilibrium geometric parameters, vibrational frequencies, internal rotation potential functions, and rotational contours of bands in the S₁ S₀ vibronic spectrum of the CClF₂NO molecule were calculated. For the molecules under consideration, the quantum-mechanical problem on torsional motion was solved. The results of calculations are, on the whole, in good agreement with experiment.     

The C2H 3 + cation and its interaction with HF

The structure and stability of classical and bridged C₂H ₃ ⁺ is reinvestigated. The SCF and CEPA-PNO computations performed with flexibles andp basis sets including twod-sets on carbon confirm our previous results. We find the protonated acetylene structure to be more stable than the vinyl cation by 3.5–4 kcal/mol. The energy barrier for the interconversion of these two structures is at most a few tenths of a kcal/mol. The equilibrium SCF geometries of Weberet al. [15] are affected insignificantly by further optimization at the CEPA-PNO level. Several structures for the interaction of C₂H ₃ ⁺ with HF have been investigated at the SCF level. With our largest basis set which includes a complete set of polarization functions we find a remarkable levelling of the stabilities of most of the structures. In these cases the stabilization energy ΔE ranges from −10 to −13 kcal/mol.     

Anab initio investigation of the inner shell excited states of the molecule Cl2

Restricted Hartree-Fock calculations of the Cl₂ molecule have been carried out to investigate the X-ray excited states below Cl 2p-electron ionization potential. Some inner shell excited states are shown to have a valence or a valence-Rydberg nature that results in a considerable intensity of the appropriate transitions in the X-ray absorption spectrum. A significant interaction among some electron configurations with a 2p vacancy is predicted.     

Tetracyanonickelate compounds as sorptive materials and the substitution of their H2O content by D2O

The compounds NiNi(CN)₄·3,5H₂O and Ni(NH₃)₂Ni(CN)₄·H₂O have been studied to examine the possibility of substituting their H₂O or NH₃ content by D₂O. Contact with D₂O was performed after heating the compounds to several temperatures. Depending on the degree of decomposition of the original compounds different ranges of substitution were possible. In such manner the compounds NiNi(CN)₄·3,5D₂O, NiNi(CN)₄·5D₂O, Ni(NH₃)₂Ni(CN)₄·D₂O, and Ni(D₂O)₂Ni(CN)₄·D₂O were prepared and thermally they were less stable than the original ones. The substitution by D₂O is in agreement with the sorptive properties of the original tetracyanonickelate against different organic compounds using GC, since these could substitute the guest component and sometimes also the ligands during their decomposition.     

Vibrational linestrengths for the ground and first excited electronic states of HeH<Subscript>2</Subscript><Superscript>+</Superscript>

Together with recent improved potential-energy surface calculations for the ground (X) and first excited (Ã) electronic states of HeH₂ ⁺, the electric dipole moment surfaces for each state and the transition dipole moments connecting the two states were evaluated for the entire range of the energy calculations. Using these functions the linestrengths of all dipole-allowed transitions between the bound vibrational levels within each of the two states (XX) and (ÃÃ) as well as between them (ÃX) are evaluated here. These data are believed to be useful both in the experimental search for the yet unobserved molecular spectra of HeH₂ ⁺ and in evaluating theoretical rates for the radiative association or photodissociation processes involving the two lowest electronic states of the ion.Contribution to the Björn Roos Honorary Issue
