揭秘单原子催化:表面科学方法

理解单原子催化的基本机理对于设计高性能和高稳定性的催化剂体系至关重要.然而,这是个有待解决的问题,因为用现有的实验技术来表征单原子催化活性位极端困难.在过去的40年里,表面科学为理解多相催化提供了基础,但是有关反应温度下、已知结构金属氧化物上稳定的金属原子的模型体系罕见报道.本视角讨论了已知的、吸附在模型金属氧化物表面上的、孤立的金属原子,并探讨了如何利用这些信息去理解单原子催化.一个关键的问题是,尽管在表面科学研究中的高度理想化的模型体系可能无法代表真实反应条件下的催化剂,但是它们与采用理论模拟计算得出的模型非常相似.因此,表面科学有望成为评估单原子催化模型的方法.更令人兴奋的是,几个研究组已经发展出在升温条件下金属吸附原子仍保持稳定的模型体系.但到目前为止,还不能清楚地解释催化活性.最后,本文简要地讨论了在真实反应条件下扫描隧道显微镜的实验前景.

The challenge of the so-called electron configurations of the transition metals

Quite different meanings are attached by chemists to the words element, atom, orbital, order of orbitals or configurations. This causes conceptual inconsistencies, in particular with respect to the transition-metal elements and their atoms or ions. The different meanings will here be distinguished carefully. They are analyzed on the basis of empirical atomic spectral data and quasi-relativistic density functional calculations. The latter are quite reliable for different average configuration energies of transition-metal atoms. The so-called "configurations of the chemical elements", traditionally displayed in periodic tables, are the dominant configurations of the lowest spin-orbit levels of the free atoms. They are chemically rather irrelevant. In many-electron systems the ns and np AOs are significantly below the more hydrogen-like nd ones. Even (n+1)s is below nd for all light neutral atoms from C onwards, but only up to the first elements of the respective long rows! The most common orbital order in transition-metal atoms is 3p < 3d < 4s etc. The chemically relevant configuration in group g is always d(g) instead of d(g-2) s(2). Conceptually clear reasoning eliminates apparent textbook inconsistencies between simple quantum-chemical models and the empirical facts. The empirically and theoretically well-founded Rydberg (n-deltal) rule is to be preferred instead of the historical Madelung (n+l) rule with its large number of exceptions.     

Dependence of relativistic effects on electronic configuration in the neutral atoms of d- and f-block elements

Although most neutral d- and f-block atoms have nd(g-2)(n + 1)s(2) and (n - 1)f(g-2)(n + 1)s(2) ground configurations, respectively, where g is the group number (i.e., number of valence electrons), one-third of these 63 atoms prefer a higher d-population, namely via (n + 1)s-->nd "outer" to "inner" electron shift (particularly atoms from the second d-row), or via (n - 1)f-->nd "inner" to "outer" electron shift (particularly atoms from the second f-row). Although the response to the modified self-consistent field is orbital destabilization and expansion for (n + 1)s-->nd, and stabilization and contraction for (n - 1)f-->nd, the relativistic modification of the valence orbital responses is stabilization in both cases. This is explained by double perturbation theory. Accordingly, electron configuration and relativity trigger the orbital energies, the orbital populations and the chemical shell effects in different ways. The particularly pronounced relativistic effects in groups 10 and 11, the so-called gold maximum, occur because of particularly efficient cooperative nonrelativistic shell effects and relativistic stabilization effects (inverse indirect effect) at the end of the d-block.     

钻穿与屏蔽效应的从头计算研究

Slater等根据原子结构的量子理论提出用屏蔽常数σ_i表示某自旋轨道i上的电子(简称i电子)所受其它各电子的排斥作用相当于抵消掉若干个核电荷的吸引作用,并通过对各元素的X-射线和光学光谱项的理论分析确定了j-电子对i-电子的屏蔽常数σ_(ji)的一些规律。徐光宪等曾对其加以改进。应用这些规律可判断多电子原子价轨道能级次序,并成功地从理论上阐明由实验确定的电子分层排布规律,使元素周期律从理论上得到发展。“屏蔽”效应主要是表达电子相互排斥的效应。把传统的“钻穿”效应的概念略加改进后,可使其主要表达核对电子吸引作用的效应。为此,定义i-电子轨道半径参量r_(p,i)的概念,     

Photoelectron spectroscopy of silicon doped gold and silver cluster anions

Photoelectron spectra of low temperature silicon doped gold cluster anions Au(n)Si(-) with n = 2-56 and silver cluster anions Ag(n)Si(-) with n = 5-82 have been measured. Comparing the spectra as well as the general size dependence of the electron detachment energies to the results on undoped clusters shows that the silicon atom changes the apparent free electron count in the clusters. In the case of larger gold clusters (with more than about 30 gold atoms) the silicon atom seems to consistently delocalize all of its four valence electrons, while in the case of the silver clusters a less uniform behavior is observed. Here the silicon atoms act partly as electron donors, partly as electron acceptors, without following an obvious simple principle. Additionally some structural information can be obtained from the measured spectra: while Ag(54)Si(-) seems to adopt an icosahedral structural motif, Au(54)Si(-) seems to take on a low symmetry structure, much like the corresponding pure 55 atom clusters. This indicates that for such larger clusters the incorporation of a single silicon atom does not change the ground state geometry significantly.     

Metal-metal bonding in molecular actinide compounds: electronic structure of [M2X8](2-) (M = U, Np, Pu; X = Cl, Br, I) complexes and comparison with d-block analogues

Density functional and multiconfigurational (ab initio) calculations have been performed on [M(2)X(8)](2-) (X = Cl, Br, I) complexes of 4d (Mo, Tc, Ru), 5d (W, Re, Os), and 5f (U, Np, Pu) metals in order to investigate general trends, similarities and differences in the electronic structure and metal-metal bonding between f-block and d-block elements. Multiple metal-metal bonds consisting of a combination of sigma and pi interactions have been found in all species investigated, with delta-like interactions also occurring in the complexes of Tc, Re, Np, Ru, Os, and Pu. The molecular orbital analysis indicates that these metal-metal interactions possess predominantly d(z2) (sigma), d(xz) and d(yz) (pi), or d(xy) and d(x2-y2) (delta) character in the d-block species, and f(z3) (sigma), f(z2x) and f(z2y) (pi), or f(xyz) and f(z) (delta) character in the actinide systems. In the latter, all three (sigma, pi, delta) types of interaction exhibit bonding character, irrespective of whether the molecular symmetry is D(4h) or D(4d). By contrast, although the nature and properties of the sigma and pi bonds are largely similar for the D(4h) and D(4d) forms of the d-block complexes, the two most relevant metal-metal delta-like orbitals occur as a bonding and antibonding combination in D(4h) symmetry but as a nonbonding level in D(4d) symmetry. Multiconfigurational calculations have been performed on a subset of the actinide complexes, and show that a single electronic configuration plays a dominant role and corresponds to the lowest-energy configuration obtained using density functional theory.     

On the composition and crystal structure of the new quaternary hydride phase Li4BN3H10

X-ray data on single crystals of the quaternary metal hydride near the composition LiB(0.33)N(0.67)H(2.67), previously identified as "Li3BN2H8", reveal that its true composition is Li4BN3H10. The structure has body-centered-cubic symmetry [space group I2(1)3, cell parameter a = 10.679(1)-10.672(1) Angstroms] and contains an ordered arrangement of BH4- and NH2- anions in the molar ratio 1:3. The borohydride anion has an almost ideal tetrahedral geometry (angleH-B-H approximately 108-114 degrees), while the amide anion has a nearly tetrahedral bond angle (angleH-N-H approximately 106 degrees). Three symmetry-independent Li atom sites are surrounded by BH4- and NH2- anions in various distorted tetrahedral configurations, one by two B and two N atoms, another by four N atoms, and the third by one B and three N atoms. The Li configuration around B is nearly tetrahedral, while that around N resembles a distorted saddlelike configuration, similar to those in LiBH4 and LiNH2, respectively.     

Electronic Structure of Layered Oxides Containing M(2)O(7) (M = V, Nb) Double Octahedral Slabs

The electronic structure of M(2)O(7) double octahedral slabs with low d electron counts has been studied. It is shown that the nature of the low d-block bands is strongly dependent on the d electron count and the distortions of the layer. All d(1) systems are expected to be similar and to exhibit Fermi surfaces which result from the superposition of both one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) contributions. For lower d electron counts the electronic structure is quite sensitive to the existence of M-O bond alternations perpendicular to the layer and off-plane distortions of the equatorial O atoms. The Fermi surface of these systems can either be purely 2D or have 1D and 2D portions like those of the d(1) systems. It is suggested that the recently reported phase Rb(2)LaNb(2)O(7) could be a 2D metal. It is also proposed that chemical reduction of the A'[A(n)()(-)(1)Nb(n)()O(3)(n)()(+1)] Dion-Jacobson phases with n = 3 could lead to metallic conductivity, in contrast with the results for the n = 2 phases.     

Electronic properties of Si and Ge atoms doped in clusters: In(n)Si(m) and In(n)Ge(m)

Electronic properties of silicon and germanium atom doped indium clusters, In(n)Si(m) and In(n)Ge(m), were investigated by photoionization spectroscopy of the neutrals and photoelectron spectroscopy of the anions. Size dependence of ionization energy and electron affinity for In(n)Si(1) and In(n)Ge(1) exhibit pronounced even-odd alternation at cluster sizes of n = 10-16, as compared to those for pure In(n) clusters. This result shows that symmetry lowering with the doped atom of Si or Ge results in undegeneration of electronic states in the 1d shell formed by monovalent In atoms.     

The Valence-Bond (VB) Model and Its Intimate Relationship to the Symmetric or Permutation Group

VB and molecular orbital (MO) models are normally distinguished by the fact the first looks at molecules as a collection of atoms held together by chemical bonds while the latter adopts the view that each molecule should be regarded as an independent entity built up of electrons and nuclei and characterized by its molecular structure. Nevertheless, there is a much more fundamental difference between these two models which is only revealed when the symmetries of the many-electron Hamiltonian are fully taken into account: while the VB and MO wave functions exhibit the point-group symmetry, whenever present in the many-electron Hamiltonian, only VB wave functions exhibit the permutation symmetry, which is always present in the many-electron Hamiltonian. Practically all the conflicts among the practitioners of the two models can be traced down to the lack of permutation symmetry in the MO wave functions. Moreover, when examined from the permutation group perspective, it becomes clear that the concepts introduced by Pauling to deal with molecules can be equally applied to the study of the atomic structure. In other words, as strange as it may sound, VB can be extended to the study of atoms and, therefore, is a much more general model than MO.     

X-ray and electron scattering factors for many-electron atomic system

Analytical expressions are developed for the x-ray and electron scattering factors for a many-electron atomic system when the single configuration wave function of the system is written as a sum of Slater determinants of spin orbitals. The radial part of the orbital is expanded in terms of Slater-type orbitals (STO 's). The expressions so developed have been used to calculate the coherent and incoherent x-ray and electron scattering factors and intensities for all the neutral atoms up to krypton (Z = 36) and for some positive and negative ions of chemical interest. The results obtained are used to test the value of Hartree–Fock wave functions for the evaluation of “one-electron properties” of many-electron atomic systems.
