金催化CO氧化湿度增强效应的理论研究

实验发现纳米金催化的CO氧化有良好的湿度增强效应,但有关机制仍不清楚.我们应用密度泛函理论研究了湿度增强效应的微观机制,以Au4团簇为例,研究了金催化CO氧化的微观机理,考察了H2O在反应中的角色和作用.计算结果表明,H2O与Au4团簇一样,在反应中扮演催化剂的角色,参与反应的进行、改变反应历程、降低反应能垒.催化循环包含4个基元步骤：O2＋H2O→OOH＋OH,CO＋OOH→CO2＋OH,CO＋OH→COOH,和COOH＋OH→CO2＋H2O,其中自由基OOH和OH的形成是催化循环的速控步骤,其能垒为100.31kJ/mol,明显低于非水参与反应的能垒（161.41kJ/mol）.目前的结果合理地解释了实验观测的CO催化氧化的湿度增强效应,给出了其微观反应机制.     

水分子在MoO3原子簇模型表面吸附的密度泛函研究

利用密度泛函理论(DFT)的B3LYP方法,在LANL2DZ基组上,计算了水分子吸附前后MoO3原子簇模型物的优化几何构型和电子结构,并进行了二级Mφller-Plesset微扰(MP2)相关能计算.结果表明,当水分子吸附于模型分子后,由于占据了MO5+空位,从原来留有空位的MoO5H4模型转变为MoO5H4·H2O模型的正八面体构型,水分子的氧通过占据在π键轨道中的电子向中心原子Mo的d轨道配位而被吸附,且水分子在模型物质表面呈吸附状态后,体系最稳定,能量最小,吸附过程不必翻越能垒,该过程放热91.39kJ/mol(MP2相关能校正),研究结果对催化剂的使用、失活和再生有较好的指导意义.     

Pd/Cu(111)双金属表面催化糠醛脱碳及加氢的反应机理

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)研究糠醛在最稳定Pd/Cu(111)双金属表面上的吸附构型和糠醛脱碳及加氢的反应机理。结果表明,当糠醛初始吸附于O_3-Pd-top、O_7-Cu-hcp位时,吸附构型最稳定,其吸附能为73.4 kJ/mol。糠醛在Pd/Cu(111)双金属表面上更易发生脱碳反应。对于糠醛脱碳反应,所需活化能较低,各个基元反应均为放热反应,糠醛更易先失去支链上的H形成(C_4H_3O)CO,然后中间体脱碳加氢得到呋喃,其中,C_4H_3O加氢生成呋喃所需活化能(72.6 kJ/mol)最高,是反应的控速步骤。对于加氢反应,糠醛与首个氢原子的反应需要最大的活化能(290.4 kJ/mol),是反应的限速步骤。     

乙苯脱氢与逆水煤气变换偶合反应的铁/活性炭催化剂研究

 研究了活性炭负载的Fe催化剂在乙苯脱氢与逆水煤气变换偶合反应中的催化活性,考察了催化剂中的铁物相,添加Li,Na和K等碱金属以及CO2对催化活性的影响. 实验表明, Fe3O4可能是偶合反应的活性相. 在CO2气氛中,适当还原度的、经碱金属元素调变后的Fe/AC的催化活性较好,苯乙烯的选择性明显提高. 以NH3和CO2为探针分子,运用微分吸附量热技术表征了催化剂的表面酸碱性质. 结果表明,活性炭表面具有较多的弱酸位. 担载铁后,NH3的起始吸附热为96 kJ/mol, 吸附饱和覆盖度为112 μmol/g, 说明Fe/AC表面具有酸性; CO2的起始吸附热为72 kJ/mol, 吸附饱和覆盖度为7 μmol/g, 表明催化剂表面也有少量的碱位. 碱金属元素的加入减弱了Fe/AC催化剂表面上的酸强度,同时产生了一定量的碱性位,因而显著提高了苯乙烯的选择性. CO2的作用是及时除去脱氢反应产生的H2, 促进乙苯脱氢生成苯乙烯,并抑制乙苯的加氢裂解.     

铑(Ⅰ)催化烯烃碳酰化反应机理:手性聚稠环过程的对映选择性

H+NH3反应势能面的量子化学研究

本文采用UCCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ方法研究了H NH3反应势能面,获得了夺氢反应和交换反应过渡态的的几何结构和振动频率。夺氢反应的过渡态具有Cs对称性,其能垒为61.92 kJ/mol。交换反应的过渡态具有C3v对称性,其能垒为39.69 kJ/mol。H NH3发生形成Td对称性的反应中间体NH4里德堡自由基。与夺氢反应相比,交换反应具有更低的反应能垒,并且NH4自由基在反应中可形成长寿命的共振态,和夺氢反应形成竞争关系,因此在H NH3反应的量子动力学研究中必须同时考虑这两类反应。本文还采用更大的基组aug-cc-pVQZ和aug-cc-pV5Z研究了势能面对基组的收敛行为。

H-ZSM-5分子筛上环己烯芳构化反应历程的理论研究

基于76T簇模型,采用量子力学和分子力学联合的ONIOM2(B3LYP/6-31G(d,p):UFF)方法研究了H-ZSM-5分子筛上环己烯芳构化反应历程.结果表明,环己烯首先吸附在分子筛酸性位上,与酸性质子共同脱除一个H2分子后,在分子筛骨架氧上生成烷氧配合物中间体;然后再脱质子得到环己二烯,同时酸性位复原;再经历脱氢和脱质子历程,最后得到产物苯,并吸附在复原的分子筛酸性位上.计算得到脱氢的活化能依次为279.64和260.21kJ/mol,脱质子的活化能依次为74.64和59.14kJ/mol.所有脱氢反应都是吸热过程,生成表面烷氧活性中间体,随后的脱质子反应能垒较低,而且是放热过程.此外,比较了环己烯在分子筛酸性位上的三个竞争反应,即脱氢、质子化和氢交换反应的活化能垒,证明环己烯优先发生脱氢反应.     

Theoretical study of CCl(4) adsorption and hydrogenation on a Pt (111) surface

The adsorption and hydrogenation of carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) on a Pt (111) surface have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT). We have performed calculations on the adsorption energies and structures of CCl(4) on four different adsorption sites of a Pt (111) surface using the full adsorbate geometry optimization method. The results show that the adsorption energy of all of the potential sites is less than -17 kcal/mol, which indicates that CCl(4) is physiosorbed on a Pt (111) surface through van der Waals interactions. The dissociation and hydrogenation pathways were investigated by a transition state search. For the Pt(15), Pt(19), and Pt(25) cluster surfaces, the activation energies of dissociation obtained in this work are 15.69, 16.94, and 16.77 kcal/mol, respectively. The hydrogenation of CCl(3). was studied at the on-top site of the Pt(15) cluster, and the calculated activation energy is 5.06 kcal/mol. The small activation energies indicate that the Pt (111) surface has high catalytic activity for the CCl(4) hydrogenation reaction. In addition, the Hirshfeld population analysis reveals that the charge transfer from the Pt (111) surface to the adsorbates occurs in both the dissociation and hydrogenation pathways.

Transition state for alkyl group hydrogenation on Pt(111)

Substituent effects have been used to probe the characteristics of the transition state to hydrogenation of alkyl groups on the Pt(111) surface. Eight different alkyl and fluoroalkyl groups have been formed on the Pt(111) surface by dissociative adsorption of their respective alkyl and fluoroalkyl iodides. Coadsorption of hydrogen and alkyl groups, followed by heating of the surface, results in hydrogenation of the alkyl groups to form alkanes, which then desorb into the gas phase. Temperature-programmed reaction spectroscopy was used to measure the barriers to hydrogenation, DeltaE(H)(double dagger), which are dependent on the size of the alkyl group (polarizability) and the degree of fluorination (field effect). This example is one of only two surface reactions for which the influence of the substituents on DeltaE(H)(double dagger) has been correlated with both the field and the polarizability substituent constants of the alkyl groups in the form of a linear free energy relationship. Increasing both the field and the polarizability constants of the alkyl groups increases the value of DeltaE(H)(double dagger). The substituent effects are quantified by a field reaction constant of rho(F) = 27 +/- 4 kJ/mol and a polarizability reaction constant of rho(alpha) = 19 +/- 3 kJ/mol. These suggest that the transition state for hydrogenation is slightly cationic with respect to the alkyl group on the Pt(111) surface, RC + H <--> {RC(delta+)...H}(double dagger).     

The influence of the potassium promoter on the kinetics and thermodynamics of CO adsorption on a bulk iron catalyst applied in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis: a quantitative adsorption calorimetry, temperature-programmed desorption, and surface hydrogenation study

The adsorption of carbon monoxide on an either unpromoted or potassium-promoted bulk iron catalyst was investigated at 303 K and 613 K by means of pulse chemisorption, adsorption calorimetry, temperature-programmed desorption and temperature-programmed surface reaction in hydrogen. CO was found to adsorb mainly molecularly in the absence of H(2) at 303 K, whereas the presence of H(2) induced CO dissociation at higher temperatures leading to the formation of CH(4) and H(2)O. The hydrogenation of atomic oxygen chemisorbed on metallic iron was found to occur faster than the hydrogenation of atomically adsorbed carbon. At 613 K CO adsorption occurred only dissociatively followed by recombinative CO(2) formation according to C(ads) + 2O(ads)→ CO(2(g)). The presence of the potassium promoter on the catalyst surface led to an increasing strength of the Fe-C bond both at 303 K and 613 K: the initial differential heat of molecular CO adsorption on the pure iron catalyst at 303 K amounted to 102 kJ mol(-1), whereas it increased to 110 kJ mol(-1) on the potassium-promoted sample, and the initial differential heat of dissociative CO adsorption on the unpromoted iron catalyst at 613 K amounted to 165 kJ mol(-1), which increased to 225 kJ mol(-1) in the presence of potassium. The calorimetric CO adsorption experiments also reveal a change of the energetic distribution of the CO adsorption sites present on the catalyst surface induced by the potassium promoter, which was found to block a fraction of the CO adsorption sites.     

Ab initio reaction path analysis of benzene hydrogenation to cyclohexane on Pt(111)

First-principles density functional theory calculations were performed to obtain detailed insight into the mechanism of benzene hydrogenation over Pt(111). The results indicate that benzene hydrogenation follows a Horiuti-Polanyi scheme which involves the consecutive addition of hydrogen adatoms. A first-principles-based reaction path analysis indicates the presence of a dominant reaction path. Hydrogenation occurs preferentially in the meta position of a methylene group. Cyclohexadiene and cyclohexene are expected to be at best minor products, since they are not formed along the dominant reaction path. The only product that can desorb is cyclohexane. Along the dominant reaction path, two categories of activation energies are found: lower barriers at approximately 75 kJ/mol for the first three hydrogenation steps, and higher barriers of approximately 88 kJ/mol for steps four and six, where hydrogen can only add in the ortho position of two methylene groups. The highest barrier at 104 kJ/mol is calculated for the fifth hydrogenation step, which may potentially be the rate-determining step. The high barrier for this step is likely the result of a rather strong C-H...Pt interaction in the adsorbed reactant state (1,2,3,5-tetrahydrobenzene) which increases the barrier by approximately 15 kJ/mol. Benzene and hydrogen are thought to be the most-abundant reaction intermediates.     

Photochemistry of vinyl chloride physisorbed on Ag(111) through molecular anion formation induced by substrate electron attachment

Pulsed 266 and 355 nm ultraviolet laser irradiation of monolayer vinyl chloride physisorbed on Ag(111) results in molecular dissociation leading to C2H3 and Cl, much of which is adsorbed to the surface. On the basis of observations made on dissociation dependences on chlorine isotope and photon energy, it is deduced that upon excitation vinyl chloride forms a transient negative ion through a substrate mediated, vertical electron attachment mechanism. The anion either dissociates or relaxes through energy transfer to the neutral state causing the neutral molecule to desorb. The threshold for vertical attachment of substrate electron is estimated to be 0.8 eV below the vacuum level, in agreement with the experimentally observed wavelength dependence in photoinduced dissociation. Chemisorbed Cl on the Ag(111) surface inhibits the photodissociation process by increasing the substrate work function and consequently the energy threshold for electron vertical attachment. Upon heating the Ag(111) surface, adsorbed vinyl combines to produce 1,3-butadiene in a first order, diffusion limited, process with an activation energy of 10.4 kcal/mol.     

Cu(111)面上糠醇加氢生成2-甲基呋喃的反应机理

采用广义梯度近似的密度泛函理论并结合平板模型的方法,详细研究了糠醇在Cu(111)面上反应生成2-甲基呋喃的反应历程,优化了糠醇在Cu(111)面的吸附模型,并采用完全线性同步和二次同步变换的方法,对三种可能的反应机理中的各反应步骤进行了过渡态搜索.结果表明,糠醇主要通过支链上OH与Cu(111)面相互作用,易形成ψCH2和ψCH2O中间体(ψ代表呋喃环).糠醇进一步加氢机理很可能为:引入的氢物种明显降低了糠醇分解形成的中间体ψCH2的活化能,并促进了它的形成;中间体ψCH2更易从糠醇中获得H而生成2-甲基呋喃.该过程的控速步骤为ψCH2O*→ψCHO*+H*,活化能为199.0kJ/mol,总反应是2ψCH2OH=ψCH3+ψCHO+H2O.     

Dissociative chemisorption and energy transfer for methane on Ir(111)

A 3-parameter local hot spot model of gas-surface reactivity is employed to analyze and predict dissociative sticking coefficients for CH(4) incident on Ir(111) under varied nonequilibrium and equilibrium conditions. One Ir surface oscillator and the molecular vibrations, rotations, and translational energy directed along the surface normal are treated as active degrees of freedom in the 14 dimensional microcanonical kinetics. The threshold energy for CH(4) dissociative chemisorption on Ir(111) derived from modeling molecular beam experiments is E(0) = 39 kJ/mol. Over more than 4 orders of magnitude of variation in sticking, the average relative discrepancy between the beam and theoretically derived sticking coefficients is 88%. The experimentally observed enhancement in dissociative sticking as beam translational energies decrease below approximately 10 kJ/mol is consistent with a parallel dynamical trapping/energy transfer channel that likely fails to completely thermalize the molecules to the surface temperature. This trapping-mediated sticking, indicative of specific energy transfer pathways from the surface under nonequilibrium conditions, should be a minor contributor to the overall dissociative sticking at thermal equilibrium. Surprisingly, the CH(4) dissociative sticking coefficient predicted for Ir(111) surfaces at thermal equilibrium, based on the molecular beam experiments, is roughly 4 orders of magnitude higher than recent measurements on supported nanoscale Ir catalysts at 1 bar pressure, which suggests that substantial improvements in catalyst turnover rates may be possible.
