This study deals with a reinvestigation on the maximum oxidation state of gold. Density functional calculations are performed on geometries and stabilities of AuCln species for n = 1–6 in their neutral and anionic states. The calculations clearly reveal that the maximum oxidation state of Au is limited to +5. The high adiabatic electron affinities of AuCln (n ≥ 2), as compared to Cl, suggest their superhalogen behavior. The interaction of AuCln superhalogens with an alkali metal, K is found to be similar to but stronger than that between K and Cl, leading to the formation of KAuCln complexes. The stabilities of these complexes explore the possibility of synthesis of new class of salts by interaction of with appropriate metal cations. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Theoretical density functional calculations are performed on AuOnq? species for q = 0–3 and n = 1–4 in various spin states. AuOn species are found to be relatively more stable in their mono‐anionic forms and behave as superhalogens for n ≥ 2. The maximum oxidation state of Au is found to be +7 in these species, but limited to +5. This fact is explained by considering interactions of AuOn superhalogens with K atom and which leads to the formation of more stable KAuOn complex up to n = 3, only. Thus, the present study is expected not only to motivate the synthesis of a new class of salts but also to assign the maximum oxidation state of gold. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations within the framework of generalized gradient approximation have been used to systematically investigate the adsorption of nitric oxide (NO) molecule on neutral, cationic, and anionic Pdn (n = 1–5) clusters. NO coordinate to one Pd atom of the cluster by the end‐on mode, where the tilted end‐on structure is more favorable due to the additional electron in the π* orbital. On the contrary, in the neutral and cationic Pd2 system, NO coordinates to the bridge site of cluster preferably by the side‐on mode. Charge transfer between Pd clusters and NO molecule and the corresponding weakening of N? O bond is an essential factor for the adsorption. The N? O stretching frequency follow the order of cationic > neutral > anionic. Binding energy of NO on anionic clusters is found to be greater than those of neutral and cationic clusters. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

In present investigation, the interactions of iridium (Ir) atom with fluorine (F) atoms have been studied using the density functional theory. Up to seven F atoms were able to bind to a single Ir atom which resulted in increase of electron affinities successively, reaching a peak value of 7.85 eV for IrF7. The stability and reactivity of these clusters were analyzed by calculating highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)–LUMO gaps, molecular orbitals and binding energies of these clusters. The unusual properties of these clusters are due to the involvement of inner shell 5d‐electrons, which not only allows IrFn clusters to belong to the class of superhalogens but also shows that its valence can exceed the nominal value of 2. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

The electronic, bonding, and photophysical properties of one‐dimensional [CuCN]n (n = 1–10) chains, 2‐D [CuCN]n (n = 2–10) nanorings, and 3‐D [Cun(CN)n]m (n = 4, m = 2, 3; n = 10, m = 2) tubes are investigated by means of a multitude of computational methodologies using density functional theory (DFT) and time‐dependent‐density‐functional theory (TD‐DFT) methods. The calculations revealed that the 2‐D [CuCN]n (n = 2–10) nanorings are more stable than the respective 1‐D [CuCN]n (n = 2–10) linear chains. The 2‐D [CuCN]n (n = 2–10) nanorings are predicted to form 3‐D [Cun(CN)n]m (n = 4, m = 2, 3; n = 10, m = 2) tubes supported by weak stacking interactions, which are clearly visualized as broad regions in real space by the 3D plots of the reduced density gradient. The bonding mechanism in the 1‐D [CuCN]n (n = 1–10) chains, 2‐D [CuCN]n (n = 2–10) nanorings, and 3‐D [Cun(CN)n]m (n = 4, m = 2, 3; n = 10, m = 2) tubes are easily recognized by a multitude of electronic structure calculation approaches. Particular emphasis was given on the photophysical properties (absorption and emission spectra) of the [CuCN]n chains, nanorings, and tubes which were simulated by TD‐DFT calculations. The absorption and emission bands in the simulated TD‐DFT absorption and emission spectra have thoroughly been analyzed and assignments of the contributing principal electronic transitions associated to individual excitations have been made. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Density functional theory and ab initio calculations were performed to elucidate the hydrogen interactions in (H2O4)n (n = 1–4) clusters. The optimized geometries, binding energies, and harmonic vibrational frequencies were predicted at various levels of theory. The trans conformer of the H2O4 monomer was predicted to be the most stable structure at the CCSD(T)/aug‐cc‐pVTZ level of theory. The binding energies per H2O4 monomer increased in absolute value by 9.0, 10.1, and 11.8 kcal/mol from n = 2 to n = 4 at the MP2/cc‐pVTZ level of theory (after the zero‐point vibrational energy and basis set superposition error corrections). This result implies that the intermolecular hydrogen bonds were stronger in the long‐chain clusters, that is, the formation of the longer chain in the (H2O4)n clusters was more energetically favorable. 相似文献

LaC3n+ (n=0, 1, 2) clusters have been studied using B3LYP (Becke 3-parameter–Lee-Yang-Parr) density functional method. The basis set is Dunning/Huzinaga valence double zeta for carbon and [2s2p2d] for lanthanum, denoted LANL1DZ. Four isomers are presented for each cluster; two of them are edge binding isomers with C2v symmetry, the other two are linear chains with C∞v symmetry. Meanwhile, two spin states for each isomer, that is, singlet and triplet for LaC3+, doublet and quartet for LaC3 and LaC32+, respectively, are also considered. Geometries, vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities, and other quantities are reported and discussed. The results indicate that at some spin states; the C2v symmetry isomers are the dominant structures, while for the other spin states, linear isomers are energetically favored. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Inspired by the experimental discovery of magic numbers we present a first study using density functional theory for the structure and properties of neutral and cationic Bi6Cu3 and Bi5Cu2 clusters. Our results confirm predictions based on Wade's rules. The closed electron shells, characteristic of cationic clusters help impose enhanced stability, while also complying with Wade's rules. Charge distribution analysis, as well as electrostatic potential maps show that in almost all cases, Bi atoms donate charges to Cu atoms. According to the analysis of condensed Fukui indices, Cu atoms inside both clusters are not reactive. Contrastingly, Bi atoms are reactive and may be targeted by different types of attack. This study of the electronic properties may thus help to determine experimental strategies with the capacity to enhance the synthesis of catalysts. 相似文献

Endohedral metalloborofullerenes (EMBFs) are novel boron analogues of the famous endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs). Many EMBFs have been proposed by theoretical calculations thus far. However, in sharp contrast to EMFs, which trap most of the lanthanides with f electrons inside the cages, the corresponding lanthanide‐based EMBFs have never been reported. In this work, the encapsulation of Eu and Gd in the B38 and B40 fullerenes was studied by means of density functional theory calculations. Our results revealed that Gd@B38(9A), Eu@B40(8B2), and Gd@B40(7A″) all favor the endohedral configuration, and the electronic structures can be described as Gd3+@ , Eu2+@ , and Gd3+@ with jailed f electron spins. The large binding energies and sizable HOMO–LUMO gaps suggest that they may be achieved experimentally. They feature σ and π double aromaticity, and their excellent stabilities were confirmed by the Born–Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulations. Finally, the infrared and UV/vis spectra were simulated to assist experimental characterization. 相似文献

Global exploration of equilibrium structures and interconversion pathways on the quantum chemical potential energy surface (PES) is performed for (H2CO)n (n = 2–4) by using the Scaled Hypersphere Search‐Anharmonic Downward Distortion Following (SHS‐ADDF) method. Density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations with empirical dispersion corrections (D3) yielded comparable results for formaldehyde dimer in comparison with recent detailed studies at CCSD(T) levels. Based on DFT‐D3 calculations, trimer and tetramer structures and their stabilities were studied. For tetramer, a highly symmetrical S4 structure was found as the most stable form in good accordance with experimentally determined tetramer unit in the formaldehyde crystal. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

LiOH is one of the strong bases among neutral molecules. What about hydroxides of small Lin (n = 2 ? 5) clusters? The addition of a single atom to a cluster sometimes has dramatic effects on its reactivity. This fact motivated us to perform an ab initio MP2/6‐311++G(d, p) investigation on LinOH species (n = 1 ? 5). These LinOH species are stabilized by both ionic as well as covalent interactions, and are found to be stable against elimination of LiOH and OH. We have determined their gas and aqueous phase basicity by considering hypothetical protonation reactions. The calculated proton affinities of LinOH (n ≥ 2) suggest their reduced basicity as compared to LiOH by 50–100 kJ/mol. The NBO charges and the highest occupied molecular orbitals also reveal the electride and alkalide characteristics of Li2OH and Li3OH, respectively. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Quantum chemical calculations of the structures, stabilities, and metalophilic interactions of AuX halides (X = F? At) at the CCSD(T) theoretical level with extended basis sets were performed. Natural bond orbital analysis showed that the present gold–halide metalophilic interactions mainly resulted from the overlap of an sp hybrid on halogen and a 6s6p5d hybrid on the Au atom. Analysis of electron density deformation showed a pronounced charge accumulation in the middle of the region between heavier X and Au, and clearly suggested the formation of covalent bond. Topological analysis of the Laplacian and total electronic energy densities at bond critical points showed the “intermediate type” character of gold–halide metalophilic interactions. Electron localization function showed the increased covalency from X = F to X = At. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Ab initio and density functional theory‐based calculations are performed to study the structure, stability, and nature of bonding of superhalogen‐supported noble gas (Ng) compounds of the type HNgY where (Ng = Ar‐Rn; Y = BeF3). Here, BeF3 acts as the superhalogen. Calculations show that the HNgBeF3 spontaneously dissociates into product following the dissociation channels: HNgBeF3 → HBeF3 + Ng and HNgBeF3 → Ng + HF + BeF2. The transition states are optimized and the energy barriers are computed to show the metastable behavior of HNgBeF3. HNgBeF3 molecules are kinetically stable with respect to the first dissociation process having energy barriers of 1.0, 5.0, 10.6, and 13.9 kcal/mol for Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn analogues, respectively, at CCSD(T)/Aug‐cc‐pVTZ level. These calculations suggest that the HXeBeF3 and HRnBeF3 can be shown to be stable up to ∼100 K temperature with a half‐life of ∼102 seconds. The nature of H Ng and two different types of Ng F bonds in HNgBeF3 molecules is explored through the natural bond orbital and electron density analyses. The large Wiberg bond index (WBI) values for the H Ng bond indicate the formation of almost a single bond in between H‐atoms and Ng‐atoms, whereas small WBI values for the two Ng F bonds indicate a noncovalent interaction in between them. The electron density analysis further supports the covalency of the H Ng bond and noncovalent interaction in the two Ng F bonds in HNgBeF3. 相似文献

The geometries, relative stabilities, and electronic properties of small rubidium‐doped silicon clusters RbSin (n = 1–12) have been systematically investigated using the density functional theory at the B3LYP/GENECP level. The optimized structures show that lowest‐energy isomers of RbSin are similar with the ground state isomers of pure Sin clusters and prefer the three‐dimensional for n = 3–12. The relative stabilities of RbSin clusters have been analyzed on the averaged binding energy, fragmentation energy, second‐order energy difference, and highest occupied molecular orbital‐lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gap. The calculated results indicate that the doping of Rb atom enhances the chemical activity of Sin frame and the magic number is RbSi2. The Mulliken population analysis reveals that the charges in the corresponding RbSin clusters transfer from the Rb atom to Si atoms. The partial density of states and chemical hardness are also discussed. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

We apply genetic algorithm combining directly with density functional method to search the potential energy surface of lithium‐oxide clusters (Li2O)n up to n = 8. In (Li2O)n (n = 1–8) clusters, the planar structures are found to be global minimum up to n = 2, and the global minimum structures are all three‐dimensional at n ≥ 3. At n ≥ 4, the tetrahedral unit (TU) is found in most of the stable structures. In the TU, the central Li is bonded with four O atoms in sp3 interactions, which leads to unusual charge transformation, and the probability of the central Li participating in the bonding is higher by adaptive natural density partitioning analysis, so the central Li is in particularly low positive charge. At large cluster size, distortion of structures is viewed, which breaks the symmetry and may make energy higher. The global minimum structures of (Li2O)2, (Li2O)6, and (Li2O)7 clusters are the most stable magic numbers, where the first one is planar and the later both have stable structural units of tetrahedral and C4v. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Systematic addition of Li atoms to the Be2B8 and Be2B36 backbones has been studied by density functional theory‐based calculations with the aim to investigate properties of interest on possible anode materials for Li‐based batteries. For the Be2B8Lin (n = 1–8) and the Be2B36Lin (n = 1–20) systems, lithium salts are dominant whereas a clear electride feature shows up for Be2B8Lin (n = 9–14) and Be2B36Li21. Addition of hydrogen radicals to these systems shows that the Be2B8Li14 electride becomes a Be2B8Li14H2 hydride electride whereas Be2B36Li21 leads to a Be2B36Li21H salt. Moreover, for the addition of Li atoms to Be2B8 and the Be2B36 backbones, large values of the interaction and of the adsorption energy per Li atom, high specific capacity of Be2B8Li14 and of Be2B36Li21 (1860 and 1017 mAh g−1, respectively) and low and flat voltage associated with lithiation have been found. Likewise, the considerable thermodynamic driving force (ΔG° = −29.66 kcal/mol) and the small energy barrier ( = 0.26 kcal/mol) associated with electron transfer in Be2B36Li21 and Be2B36 species confirm that boron rich species have potential abilities to be used in the Li‐based battery. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

The equilibrium geometries, relative stabilities, electronic and magnetic properties of small RhnCa (n = 1–9) clusters have been investigated by DFT calculations. The obtained results show that the three‐dimensional geometries are adopted for the lowest‐energy RhnCa clusters, and the doped Ca atom prefers locating on the surface of the cluster. Based on the analysis of the second‐order difference of energies, fragmentation energies and the HOMO‐LUMO energy gaps, we identify that the Rh4Ca, Rh6Ca, and Rh8Ca clusters are relatively more stable than their neighboring clusters, and the doping of Ca enhances the chemical reactivity of the pure Rhn clusters, suggesting that the RhnCa clusters can be used as nanocatalysts in many catalytic reactions. The magnetic moment for these clusters is mostly localized on the Rh atoms, and the doping Ca atom has no effect on the total magnetic moment of RhnCa clusters. The partial density of states, VIP, VEA, and η of these clusters in their ground‐state structures were also calculated and discussed. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Hexasubstituted fullerenes with the skew pentagonal pyramid (SPP) addition pattern are predominantly formed in many types of reactions and represent important and versatile building blocks for supramolecular chemistry, biomedical and optoelectronic applications. Regioselective synthesis and characterization of the new SPP derivative, C60(CF3)4(CN)H, in this work led to the experimental identification of the new family of “superhalogen fullerene radicals”, species with the gas‐phase electron affinity higher than that of the most electronegative halogens, F and Cl. Low‐temperature photoelectron spectroscopy and DFT studies of different C60X5 radicals reveal a profound effect of X groups on their electron affinities (EA), which vary from 2.76 eV (X=CH3) to 4.47 eV (X=CN). The measured gas‐phase EA of the newly synthesized C60(CF3)4CN equals 4.28 (1) eV, which is about 1 eV higher than the EA of Cl atom. An observed remarkable stability of C60(CF3)4CN? in solution under ambient conditions opens new venues for design of air‐stable molecular complexes and salts for supramolecular structures of electroactive functional materials. 相似文献
