Cl2和O2在TiC(100)表面共吸附行为的密度泛函理论分析

基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理从头计算方法,建立了Cl₂和O₂在TiC(100)表面的共吸附模型.通过分析吸附能、电荷密度和偏态密度(PDOS)等参数,研究了Cl₂和O₂在TiC(100)表面的反应机理,发现解离后的Cl原子和O原子与TiC(100)表面的原子均成键,从而破坏了Ti—C键.Cl₂分子在吸附过程中充当电子的受体,得到与之成键的Ti原子贡献的电子,O₂分子在吸附过程中也充当电子的受体,得到C原子贡献的电子.TiC(100)表面在吸附分子后,Ti—C成键轨道上电子占据数变少,反键轨道上电子占据数增多,Ti原子与C原子之间的成键作用减弱.同时,Ti3d与Cl3s,Cl3p发生轨道重叠杂化作用,O2p轨道和C2p轨道存在较强的共振峰,Cl原子和O原子与TiC表面相互作用强烈.

使用密度泛函理论对Fe₃O₄ (111),(110)和(001)的表面结构及稳定性进行了研究。Fe₃O₄ (111)表面有六种不同的终结形式,其中以四面体或八面体铁层终结的结构最稳定。对于(110)和(001)表面而言,分别有两种终结,且能量相近。计算结果与实验结果非常吻合并且合理解释了实验结果的争议性和复杂性。表面自由能的计算表明,(111)表面在热力学上不如(110)和(001)表面稳定,它的形成应该是动力学控制过程。     

甲烷在清洁Pd(111)及氧改性的Pd(111)表面解离的密度泛函理论研究

 采用广义梯度近似 (GGA) 的密度泛函理论 (DFT) 并结合平板模型, 研究了 CH4 在清洁 Pd(111) 及 O 改性的 Pd(111) 表面发生 C朒 键断裂的反应历程. 优化了裂解过程中反应物、过渡态和产物的几何构型, 获得了反应路径上各物种的吸附能及反应的活化能. 结果表明, CH4 采用一个 H 原子指向表面的构型在 Pd(111) 表面的顶位吸附, CH3 的最稳定的吸附位置为顶位, OH, O 和 H 的最稳定吸附位置均为面心立方. CH4 在清洁 Pd(111) 表面裂解的活化能为 0.97 eV, 低于它在 O 原子改性 (O 没有参与反应) 的 Pd(111) 表面的活化能 1.42 eV, 说明表面氧原子抑制了 CH4 中 C朒 键的断裂. 当亚表面 O 原子和表面 O 原子 (O 参与反应) 共同存在时, C朒 键断裂的活化能为 0.72 eV, 低于只有表层氧存在时的活化能 (1.43 eV), 说明亚表面的 O 原子对 CH4 分子的活化具有促进作用. CH4 在 O 原子改性的 Pd(111) 表面裂解生成 CH3 和 H, 以及生成 CH3 和 OH 的反应活化能分别为 1.42 和 1.43 eV, 说明 CH4 在 O 原子改性的 Pd(111) 表面发生这两种反应的难易程度相当.     

贵金属原子在CeO2(111)表面吸附的密度泛函理论研究

利用密度泛函理论系统研究了贵金属原子(Au、Pd、Pt和Rh)在CeO₂(111)表面的吸附行为。结果表明,Au吸附在氧顶位最稳定,Pd、Pt倾向吸附于氧桥位,而Rh在洞位最稳定。当金属原子吸附在氧顶位时,吸附强度依次为Pt > Rh > Pd > Au。Pd、Pt与Rh吸附后在Ce 4f、O 2p电子峰间出现掺杂峰;Au未出现掺杂电子峰,其d电子峰与表面O 2p峰在-4～-1 eV重叠。态密度分析表明,Au吸附在氧顶位、Pd与Pt吸附在桥位、Rh吸附在洞位时,金属与CeO₂(111)表面氧原子作用较强,这与Bader电荷分析结果相一致。

PdAu(100)和PdAu(111)双金属表面的密度泛函理论研究

采用密度泛函理论(Density Functional Theory DFT)研究Au(100)和Au(111)表面含有不同Pd构型时表面的形成能.结果表明,非连续Pd构型的形成能较连续Pd构型的低,在表面易形成,其中第二临位Pd对构型被证实是乙烯与醋酸结合生成醋酸乙烯反应中催化活性最高的构型.随后计算CO在不同表面Pd原子的顶位吸附能和Pd原子的d带中心,结果显示表面Pd原子与相邻金原子之间几乎没有电子传递,并且PdAu(111)表面的Pd原子d带中心随周围Au原子个数的增加而远离费米能级,伴随着CO在其上吸附能的减小,但是同样的趋势在PdAu(100)表面不存在.最后,通过计算,CO在金属表面的吸附机理为CO成键轨道5σ的电子传递给Pd原子的d带,而Pd原子的d带电子又反馈回CO的反键轨道2π*.     

C2H4在Fe3C(100)表面吸附及脱氢裂解的密度泛函理论研究

采用自旋极化密度泛函理论和周期平板模型,对C₂H₄在铁基费托合成催化剂活性相之一Fe₃C（100）表面从热力学和动力学两个方面分析了C₂H₄在Fe₃C（100）表面进行脱氢和裂解反应的竞争性。结果表明,C₂H₄在Fe₃C（100）表面的μ-bridging吸附比π、di-σ吸附更加稳定;C₂H₄与Fe₃C（100）面的相互作用导致C₂H₄的C原子部分发生重新杂化（sp²→sp³）,使C原子呈近四面体结构。在Fe₃C（100）表面C₂H₄易于发生脱氢反应,C-C键裂解反应不具有竞争性。亚乙烯基CCH₂和乙烯基CHCH₂是Fe₃C（100）表面最丰的C₂物种,或是C₂H₄参与链增长的主要单体形式。

Direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from H2/O2 using Pd/Al2O3 catalysts

Pd/Al₂O₃ catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method and were used for the direct formation of hydrogen peroxide from H₂ and O₂. The H₂O₂ concentration and selectivity were strongly dependent on the solubility of hydrogen in the reaction medium. The modification of the support by halogenate has a beneficial effect on the selectivity. The state of the active Pd on Pd/Al₂O₃ catalysts was studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Pd(0) was found to be active.     

Theoretical studies of the oxidative addition of PhBr to Pd(PX3)2 and Pd(X2PCH2CH2PX2) (X = Me, H, Cl)

The density functional theory calculations were used to study the influence of the substituent at P on the oxidative addition of PhBr to Pd(PX₃)₂ and Pd(X₂PCH₂CH₂PX₂) where X = Me, H, Cl. It was shown that the C_ipso-Br activation energy by Pd(PX₃)₂ correlates well with the rigidity of the X₃P-Pd-PX₃ angle and increases via the trend X = Cl < H < Me. The more rigid the X₃P-Pd-PX₃ angle is, the higher the oxidative addition barrier is. The exothermicity of this reaction also increases via the same sequence X = Cl < H < Me. The trend in the exothermicity is a result of the Pd(II)-PX₃ bond strength increasing faster than the Pd(0)-PX₃ bond strength upon going from X = Cl to Me. Contrary to the trend in the barrier to the oxidative addition of PhBr to Pd(PX₃)₂, the C_ipso-Br activation energy by Pd(X₂PCH₂CH₂PX₂) decreases in the following order X = Cl > H > Me. This trend correlates well with the filled d_π orbital energy of the metal center. For a given X, the oxidative addition reaction energy was found to be more exothermic for the case of X₂PCH₂CH₂PX₂ than for the case of PX₃. This effect is especially more important for the strong electron donating phosphine ligands (X = Me) than for the weak electron donating phosphine ligands (X = Cl).     

O2, CO2, and H2O Chemisorption on UN(001) Surface: Density Functional Theory Study

We performed density functional theory calculations of O₂, CO₂, and H₂O chemisorption on the UN(001) surface using the generalized gradient approximation and PW91 exchange-correlation functional at non-spin polarized level with the periodic slab model. Chemisorp-tion energies vs. molecular distance from UN(001) surface were optimized for four sym-metrical chemisorption sites. The results showed that the bridge parallel, hollow parallel and bridge hydrogen-up adsorption sites were the most stable site for O₂, CO₂, and H₂O molecular with chemisorption energies of 14.48, 4.492, and 5.85 kJ/mol, respectively. From the point of adsorbent (the UN(001) surface), interaction of O₂ with the UN(001) surface was of the maximum magnitude, then CO₂ and H₂O, indicating that these interactions were associated with structures of the adsorbate. O2 chemisorption caused N atoms on the surface to migrate into the bulk, however CO₂ and H₂O had a moderate and negligible effect on the surface, respectively. Calculated electronic density of states demonstrated the electronic charge transfer between s, p orbital in chemisorption molecular and U6d, U5f orbital.     

Theoretical Studies on Dehydrogenation Reactions in Mg2(BH4)2(NH2)2 Compounds

Borohydrides have been recently hightlighted as prospective new materials due to their high gravimetric capacities for hydrogen storage. It is, therefore, important to under-stand the underlying dehydrogenation mechanisms for further development of these ma-terials. We present a systematic theoretical investigation on the dehydrogenation mecha-nisms of theMg₂(BH₄)₂(NH₂)₂ compounds. We found that dehydrogenation takes place most likely via the intermolecular process, which is favorable both kinetically and thermo-dynamically in comparison with that of the intramolecular process. The dehydrogenation of Mg₂(BH₄)₂(NH₂)₂ initially takes place via the direct combination of the hydridic H in BH₄^- and the protic H in NH₂^-, followed by the formation of Mg-H and subsequent ionic recombination of Mg-H^δ- …H^δ+N.     

Selective and efficient oxidation of ethylene to ethylene glycol acetates with H2O2 catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2-di(2-pyridyl)ketone-di(2-pyridyl)methanesulfonate system

Novel systems for palladium-catalyzed selective oxidation of ethylene to a mixture of ethylene glycol mono- and di-acetates as the major reaction products (90-95% selectivity) with H₂O₂ in acetic acid solution at ambient pressure and 20 °C were developed. The catalytic reaction is very efficient with up to 90% combined yield of glycol acetates with H₂O₂ as a limiting reagent and 1 mol% catalyst loading. The catalytic systems developed are comprised of a mixture of Pd(OAc)₂, and 6-methyl substituted (2-pyridyl)methanesulfonate and/or di(6-pyridyl)ketone ligands. Compositions of the binary, Pd(OAc)₂-dpk, Pd(OAc)₂-Me-dpms, and ternary, Pd(OAc)₂-dpk-Me-dpms, systems have been studied by means of ¹H NMR spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry. Kinetics studies were performed as well and plausible reaction mechanism was suggested, which features facially chelating ligand-enabled facile oxidation of Pd^IIC₂H₄OAc intermediates with H₂O₂ to form Pd^IVC₂H₄OAc transients.     

Haemoglobin immobilized on nafion modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes for O2, H2O2 and CCl3COOH sensors

A conductive biocomposite film (MWCNTs-NF-Hb) containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) incorporated with entrapped haemoglobin (Hb) in nafion (NF) has been synthesized on glassy carbon electrode (GCE), gold (Au), indium tin oxide (ITO) and screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) separately by potentiostatic methods. The presence of both MWCNTs and NF in the biocomposite film enhances the surface coverage concentration (Γ), and increases the electron transfer rate constant (K_s) to 132%. The biocomposite film exhibits a promising enhanced electrocatalytic activity towards the reduction of O₂, H₂O₂ and CCl₃COOH. The cyclic voltammetry has been used for the measurement of electrocatalysis results of analytes by means of biocomposite film-modified GCEs. The MWCNTs-NF-Hb-modified GCEs’ sensitivity values are higher than the values obtained for other film modified GCEs. The surface morphology of the biocomposite films which have been deposited on ITO has been studied using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The studies have revealed that there was an incorporation of NF and immobilization of Hb on MWCNTs. Finally, the flow injection analysis has been used for the amperometric studies of analytes at MWCNTs-Hb and MWCNTs-NF-Hb film modified SPCEs. The amperometric study results have shown higher slope values for MWCNTs-NF-Hb biocomposite film.     

Kinetic study of the reaction H2O2+H→H2O+OH by ab initio and density functional theory calculations

Theoretical investigations on the kinetics of the elementary reaction H₂O₂+H→H₂O+OH were performed using the transition state theory (TST). Ab initio (MP2//CASSCF) and density functional theory (B3LYP) methods were used with large basis set to predict the kinetic parameters; the classical barrier height and the pre-exponential factor. The ZPE and BSSE corrected value of the classical barrier height was predicted to be 4.1 kcal mol⁻¹ for MP2//CASSCF and 4.3 kcal mol⁻¹ for B3LYP calculations. The experimental value fitted from Arrhenius expressions ranges from 3.6 to 3.9 kcal mol⁻¹. Thermal rate constants of the title reaction, based on the ab initio and DFT calculations, was evaluated for temperature ranging from 200 to 2500 K assuming a direct reaction mechanism. The modeled ab initio-TST and DFT–TST rate constants calculated without tunneling were found to be in reasonable agreement with the observed ones indicating that the contribution of the tunneling effect to the reaction was predicted to be unimportant at ambient temperature.     

In-depth insight into the electronic and steric effects of phosphine ligands on the mechanism of the R-R reductive elimination from (PR3)2PdR2

The aim of this study was to investigate both the electronic and steric effects of the ancillary phosphine ligand L on the reductive elimination of Me-Me from a series of L₂PdMe₂ and LPdMe₂ complexes. Density functional theory was used to study these processes with the model ligands L = PMe₃, PH₃, PCl₃ and with the experimentally reported ligands L = PPh₃, PPh₂Me, PPhMe₂. For the model ligands we confirm that electron donation from L affects the barrier for reductive elimination from L₂PdMe₂ but not from LPdMe₂. In the former case the greater the electron donation or basicity of L, the greater the barrier and the later the transition state. This is because electron donation increases the σ^∗ antibonding between Pd and L in the transition structure. On the other hand, if L is a good π acceptor this stabilizes the occupied d_π orbital of Pd in the transition structure and lowers the barrier to reductive elimination. In the case of the reactions involving LPdMe₂ as the intermediate, it is the loss of the first L (L₂PdMe₂ → LPdMe₂ + L) which determines the differences in the barrier height. Greater electron donation leads to greater L-to-Pd σ donation and a stronger Pd-L bond, and thus a greater overall barrier. A comparison of these results with the reductive elimination of 1,3-butadiene from divinyl palladium complexes L₂PdR₂ shows that the barriers are lower in the vinyl case because of a mix of orbital factors. Our results show that there is a significant stabilizing interaction between the Pd d_π orbital and the vinyl-vinyl hybrid σ^∗/π^∗ orbitals in the reductive elimination transition structure. At the same time this Pd-R₂ orbital stabilization alleviates the potential antibonding interactions between Pd and L and makes the vinyl elimination much less susceptible to ancillary ligand effects. Energy-decomposition analyses have been used to elucidate the contributing factors to the activation energies for the reductive eliminations with the model phosphine ligands. These analyses have also been used to disentangle the electronic and steric effects involved in the larger ligand systems. The electronic effects of the experimentally reported ligands are found to be very similar to each other. On the other hand, steric effects lead to a destabilization of the reactant L₂PdMe₂ complexes but not the transition structures, which results in a decrease in the barriers to reductive elimination compared to the smaller phosphine ligands. These steric effects do not play a role in reductive elimination from LPdMe₂. These detailed analyses of the electronic and steric factors may be used to assist the design of systems which enhance or retard reductive elimination behaviour.
