Additivity and non-additivity of dissociation energies in intermolecular interactions. Theoretical studies on (H2)n,n = 2-8, (CO2)n,n = 2-6 and (HF)n,n = 2-8

CCSD(T) and MP2 results using the aug-cc-pV5Z basis set are reported for chain, cyclic and other structures of the clusters (H₂)_n, n?=?2-8, (CO₂)_n, n?=?2-6 and (HF)_n, n?=?2-8. In chain-like structures of (H₂)_n and (CO₂)_n, with the bonding type of the dimer maintained, the dissociation energy D_e of the dimer doubles for the trimer, triples for the tetramer, and so on. Due to these systems being dominated by short-range forces, interactions are essentially restricted to neighbouring monomers. For other types of (H₂)_n and (CO₂)_n structures, the multipliers relative to the dimerisation energy can be much higher. Dissociation energies for the hexamers in S₆ symmetry of both H₂ (379?cm^?1) and CO₂ (4925?cm^?1) are over ten times the respective dimerisation energies. For the chain-like trimer of HF, however, D_e is in excess of double the dimer value. Mainly due to longer-range dipolar forces, the interactions reach beyond the neighbouring monomers. The interaction energy between HF monomers in chains follows an approximate R^?2 (R being the F–F distance) relationship, The calculated dissociation energies of the HF octamer are 15,985?cm^?1 (factor of 10.4) for the chain, and 21,003?cm^?1 (factor of 13.7) for the C_6h cyclic structure.

Electrical conductivity and dielectric relaxation studies of a polymeric hybrid compound: ([C2H10N2]CdCl2(SCN)2)n

Electrical conductivity and dielectric measurements of ([C₂H₁₀N₂]CdCl₂(SCN)₂)_n were carried out from 200 Hz–5 MHz over a temperature range of 307–352 K. The frequency dependence of electrical data have been analyzed in two frameworks: the electrical modulus formalism with the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) stretched exponential function and the electrical conductivity by using the Jonscher’s power law σ′_Tot(ω,T) = σ_DC(T) + A(T)ω^s(T) in the frequency domain. The conduction mechanism is attributed to the nonoverlapping small polaron tunneling (NSPT) model. Furthermore, the dielectric data have also been analyzed in modulus and polarizability formalisms. The close values of activation energies obtained from the conductivity, the relaxation process, the electric modulus, and the complex polarizability data confirm that the transport is through ion-hopping mechanism.

Negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy of 2,2’-bithiophene cluster anions, (2T)n - (n = 1–100)

Cluster anions of 2,2’-bithiophene, (2T)_n^-, were produced up to n ∼500 in the gas-phase. The energetics of the excess electron in the (2T)_n^- clusters with n =1-100 were explored by negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy. When the vertical detachment energies (VDEs) obtained from the photoelectron spectra were analyzed by a plot against n^-1/3, it has been revealed that the excess electron trapping level thus extrapolated is located at ∼0.8 eV below the conduction band minimum (i.e. LUMO) of the 2T thin film. The large slope of the VDEs vs. n^-1/3 plot suggests that the neutral 2T molecules surrounding the anion core take non-planar twisted conformations with permanent dipole moments, resulting in the exceedingly deep trapping of the excess electron in the 2T cluster anions.     

Phonon softening in (C2H5)4NFeX4 (X=Cl,Br)

SU(2)L×SU(2)R×U(1) gauge model

We determine here the most general electroweak interaction based on the groupSU(2)_L×SU(2)_R×U(1). When we rotate theZ ₁,Z ₂ basis to theZ,D basis such that the total interaction ofZ with the right-handed current is zero, we obtain an interaction that is free of triangle anomalies. This condition enables us to know the angle through whichZ ₁,Z ₂ basis is to be rotated. We show that the triangle anomaly free interaction obtained by others is contained here as a special case. We also determine the triangle anomaly free weak interaction whenever the neutral (Z,D) bosons are mass eigenstates and show that it reduces to the neutral sector of the standard model whenever g _R ² goes to infinity. The charged sector is also developed here. The most general elements of the masssquared matrix of theZ,D bosons are evaluated. The masses of the left- and right-handed charged bosons are also determined.     

Energies and chemical shifts of the sulphur 1s level and the KL2L3(1D2) Auger line in H2S,SO2 and SF6

The sulphur 1s binding energies and KL₂L₃(¹D₂) Auger energies have been measured in gaseous H₂S, SO₂ and SF₆. The experimental data, including the chemical shifts, are compared with various theoretical ab initio results. Theoretical and experimental values agree within 1-2 eV for the chemical shift and the binding energy of the 1s level, provided in the latter case relaxation, relativistic and correlation corrections are applied. Likewise, Shirley's method²⁰, which uses empirical energies, predicts the Auger energies satisfactorily. The measured S 1s binding energies are 2478.5(1) eV, 2483.7(1) eV and 2490.1(1) eV, and KL₂L₃(¹D₂) Auger energies are 2098.7(1) eV, 2095.5(2) eV, 2092.6(1) eV for H₂S, SO₂ and SF₆, respectively. The chemical shift for the 1s electron is found to be greater than for the 2s or 2p electron and in better accord with the prediction of the potential model. Data suggest the molecular relaxation energy to be small compared with the atomic relaxation energy.     

Structural and electrical characterization of the NASICON-type Li2FeZr(PO4)3 and Li2FeTi(PO4)3 compounds

In order to develop new electrolytes for all-solid-state rocking chair lithium batteries, the NASICON-type compounds Li₂FeZr(PO₄)₃ and Li₂FeTi(PO₄)₃ were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction technique and impedance spectroscopy. Li₂FeZr(PO₄)₃ is orthorhombic Pbna (a=8.706(3), b=8.786(2), c=12.220(5) Å) and Li₂FeTi(PO₄)₃ is orthorhombic Pbca (a=8.557(3), b=8.624(3), c=23.919(6) Å). They show no phase transitions from RT to 800 °C. In the same temperature range logσT vs. 1/T show no slope variations. The activation energies for the ionic conductivity were 0.62 and 0.64 eV for Li₂FeTi(PO₄)₃ and Li₂FeTi(PO₄)₃, respectively. In order to better evaluate the present results they were compared with those of α and β-LiZr₂(PO₄)₃ phases, which were also prepared and characterised. A change of activation energy from 0.47 eV to 1.03 eV was observed in the case of β phase, at about 300 °C; attributed to the β (orthorhombic) ? β′ (monoclinic) phase transition. In the α phase the activation energy 0.47 eV in the temperature range 150 – 850 °C. The Li₂FeZr(PO₄)₃ and Li₂FeTi(PO₄)₃ compounds can be interesting for applications as solid electrolytes in high temperature (>300 °C) lithium batteries.

(e, 2e) spectroscopy of N2—valence momentum distributions and configuration interaction

The noncoplanar symmetric (e, 2e) reaction has been applied to N₂ at 1200, 600 and 400 eV. Separation energy spectra are obtained in the valence region, the observed structure extending to above 60 eV. Electron momentum profiles are measured at a number of separation energies. They agree very well with the momentum distributions for valence orbitals given by SCF calculations. Considerable configuration interaction structure is observed, being primarily due to configuration interaction in the 2σ_g hole state. At 1200 eV the spectroscopic sum rule is satisfied within experimental error, confirming the validity of the analysis.     

Magnetic field effects on electron transfer reactions involving sextet-spin (S = 5/2) intermediates generated on photoexcitation of a Cr(III)-porphyrin complex

The excited trip-sextet (⁶T₁) state of chloro-(3-methylimidazol)-(meso-tetraphenylporphyrinato) chromium(III) (Cr^IIIP) is quenched by 1,1′-dibenzyl-4,4′-bipyridinium (BV²⁺) in acetonitrile through electron transfer to give ⁵(Cr^IIIP^·+) and ²BV^·+. The intermediate is a geminate ion pair in the sextet (Sx) state ⁶[⁵(Cr^IIIP^·+) ²BV^·+], which decays through either the escape from a solvent cage to give the free ions or the spin conversion to the quartet (Qa) state followed by back electron transfer. The free ion yield (Φ_FI) increased with increasing magnetic field from 0 to 4 T and then slightly decreased from 4 T to 10 T. These magnetic field effects are explained as follows. Under low fields where the Zeeman splitting of the spin sublevels is lower than or comparable with the electron spin dipole—dipole interaction within ⁵(Cr^IIIP^·+), this interaction effectively induces the Sx → Qa conversion of [⁵(Cr^IIIP^·+)²BV⁺] to result in low Φ_FI values. Under high fields where the Zeeman splitting is larger than the dipole—dipole interaction, the Sx → Qa conversion is decreased with increasing field to cause higher Φ_FI values. The slight decrease in Φ_FI above 4 T may be due to the Δg mechanism.     

Chemical effects in the N7 VV Auger spectra from W(100) and W(110) surfaces

Fine structure in the N₇ VV Auger spectra from clean W(100) and W(110) surfaces has been interpreted by Lander's band model for the doubly ionized final state. It is shown that the energies of the prominent emissions in the spectra are similar for the two surfaces and furthermore are consistent with the self convolution of a bulk density of states for tungsten. An additional feature in the spectrum from the W(100) surface has been attributed to emission from an intrinsic surface state at ?0.4 eV. The localization of this state at the surface was confirmed by its sensitivity to adsorbates (H₂, CO, O₂ and I₂). During the interaction of these gases with the surface the Auger spectra always retained the features attributed to the bulk density of states which were modified only by a shift in the background intensity profile. New emission features in this part of the spectra were not seen except for the example of hydrogen adsorption when a single new emission could be seen on each of the two tungsten surfaces. However, each adsorbate produce either one (H₂) or two (CO, O₂ and I₂) new emissions at lower energies which were attributed to emissions from new adsorbate derived levels which reside at energies below the prominent features of the tungsten valence band. The location of these new adsorbate levels is compared and contrasted with the equivalent ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopic determinations.     

Can (H2O) n (n = 1–2) as effective catalysts in the CH2OO + H2S reaction under tropospheric conditions?

The addition reaction of CH₂OO?+?H₂S → HSCH₂OOH without and with catalyst X (X?=?H₂O and (H₂O)₂) has been investigated by CCSD(T)-F12a/VTZ-F12//B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ method and canonical variational transition state theory with small curvature tunneling correction. When H₂O was introduced in the CH₂OO?+?H₂S reaction, it not only acts as a catalyst for producing HSCH₂OOH, but also plays as a reactant to forming HOCH₂OOH. The formation channel of HSCH₂OOH is more important than the formation channel of HOCH₂OOH with its calculated rate constant larger by 11.0–43.2 times within the temperature 280–320?K. Then, (H₂O)₂ catalysed CH₂OO?+?H₂S → HSCH₂OOH reaction has been taken into account with its rate lower 1.9–4.2 times than the reaction of CH₂OO?+?H₂S → HSCH₂OOH with water. Also, CH₂OO?+?H₂S with H₂O cannot compete with the CH₂OO?+?H₂S reaction without water. This is different from CH₂OO?+?(H₂O)₂ reaction, which is about 4 orders of magnitude larger than the rate constant for CH₂OO?+?H₂O reaction. Such discrepancy is possible because C(CH₂OO)···O(H₂O) interaction has been enhanced more obviously by H₂O as compared to that of C(CH₂OO)···O(H₂S) interaction.     

Barriers to internal rotation and tunnelling splittings of the torsional states in the HO(CH2)OH,DO(CH2)OH and DO(CH2)OD molecules

Torsional states caused by vibrations of hydroxyl groups in the methanediol molecule and its two deuterated analogues – DO(CH₂)OH and DO(CH₂)OD were analysed at MP2/cc-pVTZ and CCSD(T)/cc-pVQZ levels of theory. In the first case, 2D PES and 2D surfaces of kinematic coefficients were calculated with geometry optimisation for all other geometric parameters, and in the second case, only the energy of optimised configurations at the MP2/cc-pVTZ level of theory was determined. Then 2D PES was recounted to the complete basis set (CBS) limit by extrapolating the results of calculations at the MP2/cc-pVTZ and MP2/cc-pVQZ levels of theory The calculated values were then averaged over four equivalent points on the coordinate plane. Hamiltonian matrices were constructed using DVR and Fourier methods. After their subsequent diagonalization, the energies of the stationary torsional states were computed. Their classification by C_2V(M) and C_S(M) molecular symmetry groups has been performed. The splitting values due to the tunnelling of the thirty most deeply located torsional states in the three studied molecules were also determined. The torsional states, internal rotation barriers, and tunnelling frequencies in the molecules of methanediol and hydrogen trioxide were compared.     

Photoluminescence of CdGeP2 and (Cd,Mn)GeP2

Photoluminescence of CdGeP₂ (112) single crystal and CdGeP₂ epitaxial film grown on GaAs (001) substrate have been studied and their spectral similarity found. Spectral bands associated with donor/acceptor transitions peak at close energies for both substances and all are lower than the energy gap of the chalcopyrite crystal.On the other hand, the growth of (Cd,Mn)GeP₂ ferromagnetic layer on CdGeP₂ (112) single crystal was performed to make it possible observation of PL from both the ferromagnetic layer and substrate. The green laser excitation (514, 532 nm) produces a proper photoluminescence similar to that in the undoped CdGeP₂ crystal and film. An extra emission from the ferromagnetic-nonmagnetic heterojunction occurs to extend up to photon energies exceeding E_g of the host semiconductor. The short wavelength photoluminescence is to be due to (Cd,Mn)GeP₂ dilute magnetic semiconductor (DMS). This fact states that Mn-doped II-IV-V₂ chalcopyrites are closer to II-VI DMS than to another group III-V DMS, where the heavy Mn-doping suppresses photoluminescence at all. Features of the observed short wavelength emission are discussing based on the temperature and spectral analyses.     

CASPT2 and CCSD(T) calculations of dipole moments and polarizabilities of acetone in excited states

The acetone molecule is investigated in its ground state and valence ^1,3n-π*, ^1,3π-π*, and ^1,3σ-π* excited states and Rydberg ^1,3n-3s, ^1,3π-3?, ^1,3n-3p_y and ^1,3π-3p_y states using the CASSCF, CASPT2, and CCSD(T) methods. Equilibrium geometries of excited states are obtained and their changes with respect to the ground state are discussed. For most excited states the C_2v symmetry of the ground state is lowered to the C_s symmetry. A series of valence vertical and adiabatic excitation energies is presented along with excitation energies for Rydberg states. The main body of the paper contains Finite-Field Perturbation Theory (FFPT) calculations of electric properties of the vertically as well as geometry relaxed excited states. Dipole moments of valence excited states decrease significantly upon excitation, being about one half of the ground state dipole moment. Polarizabilities usually change upon excitation much less (increase by about 30%) but hyperpolarizabilities are enhanced up to one or two orders of magnitude. The orientation of the dipole moment is reversed in some vertically excited Rydberg states. Properties of the ground and excited states are discussed considering alterations of the electronic structure and shifts in the geometry.
