Experimental and theoretical investigation on the correlation between aqueous precursors structure and crystalline phases of zirconia 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Nanometer zirconia powders were prepared by the precipitation method at different pHs and different reaction temperatures. X-ray results show that monoclinic zirconia is favored at pH 4 while tetragonal zirconia is favored at pH 9.5 at room temperature, and monoclinic zirconia is also favored at pH 9.5 and 70 °C reaction temperature, with the slow addition of alkali. Four models of zirconium complexes were applied to simulate the structural monomers in different pH solutions. Geometric parameters and Mulliken charge population were calculated by optimizing these complexes using the density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP). Theoretical analyses show that if Model I ([Zr(OH)2(H2O)4]2+ monomers) is favored in the aqueous precursor solution, it will be preferentially polymerized into monoclinic precursor structure irrespective of slow or quick alkali addition. Contrarily, if Model IV ([Zr(OH)7]3− monomers) is major in the aqueous precursor solution, tetragonal precursor structures are favored irrespective of slow or quick alkali addition. When Model II ([Zr(OH)4(H2O)2]0 monomers) and Model III ([Zr(OH)6]2− monomers), respectively, predominate in the aqueous precursor solution, they will be preferentially polymerized into tetragonal precursor structure at slow alkali addition, however, for quick alkali addition, they will be preferentially polymerized into monoclinic precursor structure. Our theoretical models well explain the present experimental results as well as previous experimental results, and allow building up a correlation between aqueous precursor structures and crystalline phases of zirconia. 相似文献

Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) using methanol (MeOH) as a solvent of the BGEs and quantum mechanical density functional theory (DFT) have been applied to determine the thermodynamic acidity (ionization) constants (pKa) of mono- and diaza[5]helicenes, mono- and diaza[6]helicenes, and their dibenzo derivatives in MeOH and water. First, the mixed acidity constants, , of ionogenic pyridinium groups of azahelicenes and their derivatives in MeOH were obtained by nonlinear regression analysis of pH dependence of their effective electrophoretic mobilities. The effective mobilities were measured by NACE in a large series of methanolic BGEs within a wide conventional pH range (pHMeOH 1.6–12.0) and at ambient temperature (21–26°C) in a home-made CE device. Prior to mixed acidity constant calculation, the effective mobilities were corrected to reference temperature (25°C) and constant ionic strength (25 mM). Then, the mixed acidity constants were recalculated to the thermodynamic acidity constants pKa,MeOH by the Debye–Hückel theory of nonideality of electrolyte solutions. Finally, from the methanolic thermodynamic pKa,MeOH values, the aqueous thermodynamic constants were estimated using the empirical relations between methanolic and aqueous acidity constants derived for structurally related pyridine derivatives. Depending on the number and position of the nitrogen atoms in their molecules, the analyzed azahelicenes were found to be weak to moderate bases with methanolic pKa,MeOH in the range 2.01–8.75 and with aqueous in the range 1.67–8.28. The thermodynamic pKa,MeOH obtained by the DFT calculations were in a good agreement with those determined experimentally by NACE. 相似文献

The structural, electro-optical and charge-transport properties of compound trans-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)prop-2-enenitrile (DMNPN) were studied using quantum chemical methods. The neutral, cation and anion molecular geometries were optimized in the ground state using density functional theory (DFT) at the restricted and unrestricted B3LYP/6-31G** level of theory. The excited state geometries were optimized by applying time-dependent DFT at the TD-B3LYP/6-31G** level of theory. The absorption and fluorescence wavelengths were calculated at the TD-CAM-B3LYP/6-31G** and TD-LC-BLYP/6-31G** levels of theory. The distribution pattern of the charge densities on the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs) are discussed. Intramolecular charge transfer was observed from the dimethoxyphenyl to (nitrophenyl)prop-2-enenitrile moieties. The detailed charge-transport behavior of the DMNPN molecule is investigated based on its ionization potential, electron affinity, hole and electron reorganization energies, hole and electron-transfer integrals, and hole and electron intrinsic mobilities. The total/partial densities of states and structure–property relationship are discussed in detail. The higher computed hole intrinsic mobility than electron intrinsic mobility reveals that DMNPN is an efficient hole-transport material. 相似文献

Quercetin and its radicals were investigated at the B3LYP density functional level with the aim of determining the energetic and spectroscopic parameters and the factors that influence their antioxidant activity in the gas phase and in aqueous solution. The results indicated that the antioxidant ability of quercetin is mainly due to the orthodiphenolic moiety but also to the presence of the C=C double bond of the pyrone ring. Differences in the stability order of the isomers of quercetins radicals were found in going from vacuum to solvent. Hyperfine coupling constants were computed to help the interpretation of the intricate ESR spectrum of quercetin.Contribution to the Jacopo Tomasi Honorary Issue 相似文献

In this study, it has been demonstrated that there are additive rules corresponding to ab initio derived total electronic energies between members of triple sets of some extended sulfur diimides and their mono- and bi-derivatives. It has been shown that the additive rules are insensitive to the combination of methods and basis sets used to derive the total electronic energies. This insensitivity to the level of calculation is demonstrated to be the case for some linear alkanes also. It has been found that the total electronic energies of certain members of extended sulfur diimide sets ((ZZ)k and (EE)k conformers) follow a linear relation although chemical accuracy may be achieved only by excluding the smallest members of these sets. The details of this deviation have been employed to quantify the “Z-effect” proposed previously by the same authors. 相似文献

Using experimental and computational techniques, a comparative study of electro-optical properties for glycine glycinium picrate (GGP) and glycinium picrate (GP) compounds has been performed. The single crystal of GGP has been grown using slow evaporation technique that was further subjected to experimental characterization of its electro-optical properties. The good optical transparency and mechanical strength at micro level was confirmed from optical and nanoindentation measurements using the Oliver–Pharr method of the grown single crystals. Differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analysis was done to probe the thermal stability of the grown single crystals. Using the density functional theory (DFT) methods, we have not only investigated the GGP but also proposed GP molecule. Additionally, we have shed light on the molecular geometries, infrared and Raman spectra, linear and nonlinear optical properties of both GGP and GP at molecular level. The time dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approach was adopted to calculate the excitation energies of the molecules in different phases including gas, water, acetone, cyclohexane and chloroform as well. For GGP, its wavelength of maximum absorption is calculated to be ~390 nm at B3LYP/6-31G1 level of theory. The calculated amplitudes of first hyperpolarizability (βtot) for GGP and GP are found to be 712 and 970 a. u., respectively, which are about 16 and 23 times larger than that of the urea molecule (a prototype NLO molecule). Thus the present study not only brings to limelight the optical and nonlinear optical properties of GGP but also sheds light on the possible potential of GP as new NLO molecule. 相似文献

The (110) surface of rutile TiO2 (110) has been modeled using a density functional theory (DFT) plane‐wave pseudo‐potential method (CASTEP). In this study, 6 and 9 atomic‐layer slabs have been examined. The stoichiometric surface converges to a low‐spin solution in both cases with a density of states (DOS) similar to that for the bulk. O deficiencies are introduced by the removal of neutral O atoms thus leaving a neutral model with a surfeit of 2 e? per vacancy. This results in the partial filling of the Ti t2g conduction band orbitals and a compensatory shift in the Fermi level. The reduced surface converges to a high‐spin solution in all cases, with the excess spin located within the previously unoccupied Ti t2g orbitals. Removal of the bridging surface O atoms results in an excess spin of 2 electrons per unit cell with approximately one‐half that for removal of in‐plane surface O atoms and subsurface O atoms. The removal of O atoms from the surface leads to an increase of the band gap, with the largest increase due to the removal of in‐plane 3‐fold coordinated surface O atoms, and the smallest one due to the removal of subsurface O atoms. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The vibrational frequencies of several states of␣CaO2, ScO2, and TiO2 are computed using density functional theory (DFT), the Hartree-Fock approach, second-order M?ller-Plesset perturbation theory
(MP2), and the complete-active-space self-consistent-field theory. Three different functionals are used in the DFT calculations,
including two hybrid functionals. The coupled cluster singles and doubles approach including the effect of connected triples,
determined using perturbation theory, is applied to selected states. The Becke-Perdew 86 functional appears to be the most
cost-effective method of choice, although even this functional does not perform well for one state of CaO2. The MP2 approach is significantly inferior to the DFT approaches.

In this work, the Nin (n = 2–10) nanoclusters were investigated to design new catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of acetylene. Our results show that among the Nin nanoclusters, the Ni6 nanocluster can be used as a catalyst in the reactions of hydrogenation. In the presence of the Ni6 nanocluster, the Ea of the forward step in the reaction of conversion of vinyl to ethylene was 21.21 kJ/mol lower than that of the reverse step in the reaction of conversion of acetylene to vinyl. Also, the Ea of the forward step in the reaction of conversion of ethyl to ethane was 96.59 kJ/mol higher than that of the reverse step in the reaction of conversion of ethylene to ethyl. According to the obtained results, the Ni6 nanocluster can selectively act in the hydrogenation of a mixture of acetylene and ethylene. 相似文献

The photophysical behaviour of trans-methyl p-(dimethylamino) cinnamate (t-MDMAC) donor–acceptor system has been investigated by steady-state absorption and emission spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. The molecule t-MDMAC shows an emission from the locally excited state in non-polar solvents. In addition to weak local emission, a strong solvent dependent red shifted fluorescence in polar aprotic solvents is attributed to highly polar intramolecular charge transfer state. However, the formation of hydrogen-bonded clusters with polar protic solvents has been suggested from a linear correlation between the observed red shifted fluorescence band maxima with hydrogen bonding parameters (). Calculations by ab initio and density functional theory show that the lone pair electron at nitrogen center is out of plane of the benzene ring in the global minimum ground state structure. In the gas phase, a potential energy surface along the twist coordinate at the donor (–NMe2) and acceptor (–CH = CHCOOMe) sites shows stabilization of S1 state and destabilization S2 and S0 states. A similar potential energy calculation along the twist coordinate in acetonitrile solvent using non-equilibrium polarized continuum model also shows more stabilization of S1 state relative to other states and supports solvent dependent red shifted emission properties. In all types of calculations it is found that the nitrogen lone pair is delocalized over the benzene ring in the global minimum ground state and is localized on the nitrogen centre at the 90° twisted configuration. The S1 energy state stabilization along the twist coordinate at the donor site and localized nitrogen lone pair at the perpendicular configuration support well the observed dual fluorescence in terms of proposed twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) model. 相似文献

A theoretical investigation is presented aimed to the interpretation of the spectroscopic behaviour of the methoxy group in molecules belonging to the class of hydrofluoroethers. The simulation of infrared and Raman spectra of four different stable conformers of CH3–O–CF2–CF2–O–CH3 and the comparison with the experimental spectra allow to propose a vibrational band assignment in the CH stretching region. This clarifies the role of the CF2 group in determining the electronic properties and spectroscopic parameters of methyl CH bonds when back-donation of electronic charge take place from oxygen. 相似文献

Density functional theory (DFT) method is used to investigate the effects of a variety of substituents (N(CH3)2, OCH3, CH3,Br, H, F, CN, and NO2) on Mulliken charge (QM) for C‐α and C‐β of 1‐(Arylmethylene)‐1H‐cyclopropanaphthalene using Hammett's mono substituent parameter (MSP) and Taft's dual substituent parameter (DSP) models. The Hammett's model approach gave statistically more significant results than the Taft's model for both carbons atoms. For the C‐α atom a reverse substituent effect was observed and attributed to localized π‐polarization. On the other hand, the MSP and DSP for the C‐β atom showed normal substituent effect. The λ value at the C‐α, explain that the resonance effects more contribution than inductive effects. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2007 相似文献

The chemical shielding (CS) tensors of Gallium-71 and nitrogen-15 are computed for the first time in order to investigate the influence of Mn-doping on the electronic properties of the (5, 5) Gallium nitride nanotube (GaNNT). A GaNNT consisting of 40 Ga and 40 N atoms and having a 1.2 nm length was considered. One portal of the nanotube was capped by ten hydrogen atoms and other-end was kept open. Additionally, two other forms of this model of Mn-doped GaNNT were considered where a Mn-atom was substituted for a Ga atom either in the first or in the second layer. The calculations reveal that in both models of Mn-doped GaNNTs, the N atoms that are directly connected to the Mn atom have the smallest isotropic chemical shielding among other N atoms. These calculations were performed at the level of the density functional theory (DFT) using GAUSSIAN 03 package. The basis sets for Ga and N atoms were chosen to be 6-31G (d) and those for Mn atom were chosen to be LanL2DZ. 相似文献

The geometrical structure and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) parameters of the pristine as well as carbon, silicon and germanium-doped (10, 0) boron-nitride (BN) nanotubes have been studied using a DFT-B3LYP method for the first time. When either a Ge, C or Si atom is substituted for a single B or N in the BN nanotube, the dopant atom extends outward from the surface of the nanotube. Our results show that Ge extends more from the surface than C or Si. It was found that the NMR parameters are significantly changed for those B and N nuclei that bond directly to C, Si or a Ge dopant. The calculations were carried out using the Gaussian 03 software package. 相似文献

This article compares several quantum mechanical approaches to the computation of chemical shielding tensors in peptide fragments. First, we describe the effects of basis set quality up to the complete basis set (CBS) limit and level of theory (HF, MP2, and DFT) for four different atoms in trans N-methylacetamide. For both isotropic shielding and shielding anisotropy, the MP2 results in the CBS limit show the best agreement with experiment. The HF values show quite a different tendency to MP2, and even in the CBS limit they are far from experiment for not only the isotropic shielding of carbonyl carbon but also most shielding anisotropies. In most cases, the DFT values differ systematically from MP2, and small basis-set (double- or triple-zeta) results are often fortuitously in better agreement with the experiment than the CBS ones. Second, we compare the mixed basis set and ONIOM methods, combined with CBS extrapolation, for chemical shielding calculations at a DFT level using various model peptides. From the results, it is shown that the mixed basis set method provides better results than ONIOM, compared to CBS calculations using the nonpartitioned full systems. The information studied here will be useful in guiding the selection of proper quantum chemical models, which are in a tradeoff between accuracy and cost, for shielding studies of peptides and proteins. 相似文献

Prediction of the 13C NMR shifts of sym-pentachlorocorannulene and decachlorocorannulene provided impetus for the development of a correction scheme based on a regression
of experimental and quantum chemical data. A training set of 15 compounds (18 carbon signals) comprising carbons atoms bearing
1–4 chlorine atoms leads to an estimated error per chlorine atom of about 10–12 ppm. Specifically, linear regression of the
data obtained at B3LYP/cc-pVDZ leads to y = −3.77 + 13.11x, with R = 0.982. Ultimately, experiment and theory converge for sym-pentachlorocorannulene and decachlorocorannulene, the former by correction of the theory, the latter by collecting the proper
experimental data.

High-mobility and strong luminescent materials are essential as an important component of organic photodiodes, having received extensive attention in the field of organic optoelectronics. Beyond the conventional chemical synthesis of new molecules, pressure technology, as a flexible and efficient method, can tune the electronic and optical properties reversibly. However, the mechanism in organic materials has not been systematically revealed. Here, we theoretically predicted the pressure-depended luminescence and charge transport properties of high-performance organic optoelectronic semiconductors, 2,6-diphenylanthracene (DPA), by first-principle and multi-scale theoretical calculation methods. The dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D) and hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) method were used to get the electronic structures and vibration properties under pressure. Furthermore, the charge transport and luminescence properties were calculated with the quantum tunneling method and thermal vibration correlation function. We found that the pressure could significantly improve the charge transport performance of the DPA single crystal. When the applied pressure increased to 1.86 GPa, the hole mobility could be doubled. At the same time, due to the weak exciton coupling effect and the rigid flat structure, there is neither fluorescence quenching nor obvious emission enhancement phenomenon. The DPA single crystal possesses a slightly higher fluorescence quantum yield ~ 0.47 under pressure. Our work systematically explored the pressure-dependence photoelectric properties and explained the inside mechanism. Also, we proposed that the external pressure would be an effective way to improve the photoelectric performance of organic semiconductors. 相似文献

Insertion of ethylene into the Ti–methyl bond in TiH2CH+3 is chosen as a model reaction for investigating the performance of a range of contemporary quantum chemical models in polymerization studies. Basis set effects are investigated at the self-consistent-field level, covering Hartree–Fock, pure DFT, and hybrid DFT. In agreement with findings in part I of this study, the basis set sensitivity of ethylene is shown to introduce a bias in computed energetics, amounting to 2–3 kcal/mol when DZP bases are used to compute the overall heat of monomer insertion. The geometry of stationary points relevant to the insertion reaction is determined using hybrid density functional theory. Based on these structures, the energy profile of the insertion reaction is computed using a range of popular quantum chemical approximations. The methods include Hartree–Fock and Møller–Plesset (MP) perturbation theory up through the fourth order in spin-restricted, spin-unrestricted, and spin-projected formalisms. Furthermore, configuration-interaction-based methods are included, of which the top level method is singly and doubly excited coupled clusters with a perturbative estimate of the contribution from triply excited configurations added [CCSD(T)]. The performance of the methods just mentioned, as well as three pure density functional and three hybrid density functional methods, are compared with respect to “best” relative energies, defined through extrapolation of CCSD(T) correlation energies according to the PCI scheme of Siegbahn and coworkers. Even though the MP series show poor convergence, spin-projected MP2, as well as two pure DFT methods (BPW91, BP86) and PCI-78 based on the MCPF method, show similar and very good agreement with best relative energies for the insertion reaction. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Today,due to the increasingly stringent European directives concerning the use of molecules with certain toxicities towards the environment or their users,the essential oils,extracts,and molecules derived from plants exhibiting the characteristic of being biodegradable can be considered as a source of green corrosion inhibitors instead of harmful synthetic chemicals.The present work was devoted to testing the essential oil extracted from Mentha pulegium leaves(M1) as a corrosion inhibitor for C-steel in 1mol/L HCl solution using both electrochemical techniques and gravimetric measurements for the evaluation of the inhibition efficiencies at different temperatures.The results obtained showed that the inhibition efficiency increased with an increase in Ml concentration to reach a maximum value of 92.21%.We sought to determine the molecule responsible for this high efficiency,starting with the analysis of oil chemical composition by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry.This analysis revealed that menthol(M2)and isomenthol(M3)were the principal constituents.In order to identify the molecule responsible for the inhibition and explain the protection mechanism involved,quantum chemical calculations and Monte Carlo simulations were used to explain the interaction of menthol,the major constituent of M1 with the Fe-surface.To practically confirm these results,we studied the action of 1mol/L HCl on steel with and without the addition of M2 by both methods(gravimetric and electrochemical study).A very high efficiency was obtained,an efficiency of 94.90% at 10^-3 mol/L,which was retained for a long exposure time,and slightly decreased in function of temperature.Finally,a good correlation between the experimental data,theoretical calculations,and SEM studies was obtained,which denied that the Ml efficiency was only a result of a synergy effect and confirmed the high efficiency of Mentha oil and its main component(menthol)as a strong ecological inhibitor of corrosion. 相似文献

A systematic methodology for calculating accurate propagation rate coefficients in free-radical polymerization was designed and tested for vinyl chloride and acrylonitrile polymerization. For small to medium-sized polymer systems, theoretical reaction barriers are calculated using G3(MP2)-RAD. For larger systems, G3(MP2)-RAD barriers can be approximated (to within 1 kJ mol−1) via an ONIOM-based approach in which the core is studied at G3(MP2)-RAD and the substituent effects are modeled with ROMP2/6-311+G(3df,2p). DFT methods (including BLYP, B3LYP, MPWB195, BB1K and MPWB1K) failed to reproduce the correct trends in the reaction barriers and enthalpies with molecular size, though KMLYP showed some promise as a low cost option for very large systems. Reaction rates are calculated via standard transition state theory in conjunction with the one-dimensional hindered rotor model. The harmonic oscillator approximation was shown to introduce an error of a factor of 2–3, and would be suitable for “order-of-magnitude” estimates. A systematic study of chain length effects indicated that rate coefficients had largely converged to their long chain limit at the dimer radical stage, and the inclusion of the primary substituent of the penultimate unit was sufficient for practical purposes. Solvent effects, as calculated using the COSMO model, were found to be relatively minor. The overall methodology reproduced the available experimental data for both of these monomers within a factor of 2. 相似文献
