Theoretical study on the structures and stabilities of the isomers of N6H6

Forty-eight possible isomers of N₆H₆ have been investigated at the B3LYP/6-311++G^** and G3B3 levels. The results show that heats of formation of all isomers are positive and A2-3 is the lowest and C2 is the highest. In addition, the energies and the heats of formation of the ring-shaped isomers are higher than those of the chain-shaped isomers. Among the ring-shaped isomers, the four-membered ring isomers have the highest heat of formation and the five-membered ring isomers have the lowest. For six-membered ring isomers, only the chair-shaped isomers are stable. Among all those chain-shaped isomers, the ones which have N–N bond and its length is in the range of NN double bond can improve the stability of the compounds.     

Theoretical study on the structures and properties of the isomers of Nn(CH)8−nH8 (n = 0–7)

With replacement of N atoms by CH groups in the most stable chain isomer of N8H8, 34 possible isomers of N_n(CH)_8−nH₈ (n = 0–7) have been designed and optimized at the B3LYP/6-311++G** level of theory. The natural bond orbital (NBO) and atoms in molecules (AIM) analysis are carried out to study the bonding nature and relative stabilities of these conformers. G3MP2 method is applied to calculate energies and heats of formation. The results indicate that the hyperconjugation effect from lone pairs of nitrogen atoms to germinal C–N bonds is the major factor which caused the change of the C–N bond length. With the more replacement of nitrogen atoms by CH groups, the heats of formation of the isomers of N_n(CH)_8−nH₈ (n = 0–7) decrease gradually, but the energies increase linearly.

A new target for synthesis of sandwiched beryllium, magnesium, and calcium dimers: C5H7-M-M-C5H7 and C4H4P-M-M-C4H4P

Group 2 bis-element sandwiches formed by homoleptic open sandwiches with formula C₅H₇-M-M-C₅H₇ and C₄H₄P-M-M-C₄H₄P (M = Be, Mg, and Ca) have been studied at the B3LYP/cc-PVDZ and BP86/6-311G(d,p) levels of theory. The predicted M-M bond distances are much shorter than in the equivalent isolated M-M dimer and indicate substantial Be-Be, Mg-Mg, and Ca-Ca bonding. An NBO analysis shows that each M-M unit contains a single covalent bond and that the unit is linked to the open pentadienyl and phospholyl ring via ionic bonds. We thus predict that these new compounds are viable synthetic targets.     

Experimental and Theoretical Study of Hydrogen Atom Abstraction from C2H6 and C4H10 by Zirconium Oxide Clusters Anions

The reactions of anionic zirconium oxide clusters Zr_xO_y^- with C₂H₆ and C₄H₁₀ are investi-gated by a time of flight mass spectrometer coupled with a laser vaporization cluster source.Hydrogen containing products Zr₂O₅H^- and Zr₃O₇H^- are observed after the reaction. Den-sity functional theory calculations indicate that the hydrogen abstraction is favorable in the reaction of Zr₂O₅^- with C₂H₆, which supports that the observed Zr₂O₅H^- and Zr₃O₇H^- are due to hydrogen atom abstraction from the alkane molecules. This work shows a newpossible pathway in the reaction of zirconium oxide cluster anions with alkane molecules.     

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.

DFT Study on Methanofullerene Derivative [6,6]-Phenyl-C61 Butyric Acid Methyl Ester

Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) with hybrid functional B3LYP were used to investigate several physical and chemical properties of [6,6]-phenyl-C₆₁ butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), including the geometry, electron structure, charge population, bond properties, as well as IR, Raman and electronic absorption spectra. The analysis of the natural bond orbital (NBO) suggested that there were about 0.11 electrons transferred from moiety phenyl and butyric acid methyl ester group of PCBM to fullerene cage. The strongest IR and Raman peaks came from different modes with the frequencies of 1773 and 1492 cm⁻¹, respectively. The calculated isotropic polarizability, polarizability anisotropy invariant, and hyperpolarizability were 577.7, 96.9, and −22.8 a.u., respectively. Based on TDDFT, the electronic absorption spectra of PCBM were calculated and analyzed. The calculated absorption band near 349 nm agreed well with the experimental measurement.     

Electronic Structures and Thermoelectric Properties of Two-Dimensional MoS2/MoSe2 Heterostructures

Thermoelectric properties of bulk and bilayer two-dimensional (2D) MoS₂/MoSe₂ heterostructures are investigated using density functional theory in conjunction with semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory. It is predicted that the bulk 2D heterostructures could considerably enhance the thermoelectric properties as compared with the bulk MoSe₂. The enhancement originates from the reduction in the band gap and the presence of interlayer van der Waals interactions. We therefore propose the 2D MoS₂/MoSe₂ heterostructures as a possible candidate material for thermoelectric applications.     

Theoretical investigations into trioxo group 7 compounds LRO3 with perfluorated ligands

Group 7 trioxides LRO₃ with perfluorated ligands L (L = CF₃, C₅F₅ and C₆F₅) are investigated using density based (BP86) and wave-function based (MP2) methods together with energy-adjusted scalar relativistic pseudopotentials for the metal atoms Mn, Tc and Re. The C₆F₅ compounds have short metal-carbon bond distances and are more stable than the η¹-C₅F₅ and the CF₃ compounds. The perfluorinated cyclopentadienyl compounds, C₅F₅MO₃, all are η¹ coordinated in contrast to the C₅Me₅MO₃ homologues. Our calculations indicate that C₆F₅MnO₃ might be a stable complex and therefore a promising target for future synthesis.

利用笼状的分子筛模型, 在B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)水平下通过对分子筛中各种碱性基团的碱性进行对比来预测硼取代后氨化处理的分子筛的碱性. 结果表明, B-NH2基团本身碱性不强, 但与质子或路易斯酸作用时, B-NH2基团与周围的Si-OH基团共同参与作用并导致碱性增强. 另外, 分子筛中含有的Si-NH2基团也可与周围的B-OH共同作用, 产生强碱性. 因此, 硼取代后氨化处理的分子筛是一种优良的碱性材料.     

Vibrations and dissociation of molecules in strong electric fields: N2, NACl, H2O and SF6

The static deformations and vibrations of the title compounds with an applied static electric field have been studied by density functional theory calculations. It is found that for diatomic molecules, bond length and vibrational frequency as a function of the field can be fit very well all the way up to the dissociation limit by an analytical formula derived from a Morse potential model including an additional external field term. Polyatomic molecules show more complex behaviour with a single mode becoming soft at the dissociation limit. The frequency of the soft mode near the critical field is again described well by the analytical model. The vibrational analysis shows that in polyatomic molecules dissociation proceeds as a heterolytic fragmentation process, which can break the symmetry of the molecule in the applied field.     

Thermochemistry of the higher chlorine oxides ClOx (x=3, 4) and Cl2Ox (x=3–7)†

Heats of formation for ClO₃, ClO₄, Cl₂O₃, Cl₂O₄, Cl₂O₅, Cl₂O₆ and Cl₂O₇ molecules are determined at the B3LYP, B3PW91, mPW1PW91 and B1LYP levels of the density functional theory employing a series of extended basis sets, and using Gaussian-3 model chemistries. Modified Gaussian-3 calculations, which employ accurate B3LYP/6-311+G(3d2f) molecular geometries and vibrational frequencies, were also performed. Heats of formation were calculated from both total atomization energies and isodesmic reaction schemes. The latter method in conjunction with Gaussian-3 models leads to the most reliable results. The best values at 298 K for ClO₃, ClO₄, Cl₂O₃ and Cl₂O₄ as derived from an average of G3//B3LYP and G3//B3LYP/6-311+G(3d2f) calculations are 43.1, 54.8, 31.7 and 37.4 kcal mol⁻¹. From calculations carried out at the G3(MP2)//B3LYP and G3(MP2)//B3LYP/6-311+G(3d2f) levels, heats of formation for Cl₂O₅, Cl₂O₆ and Cl₂O₇ are predicted to be 53.2, 52.2 and 61.5 kcal mol⁻¹. All best values are reproduced within 1 kcal mol⁻¹ by using mPW1PW91/6-311+G(3d2f) isodesmic energies. Enthalpy changes for relevant Cl–O bond fission reactions are reported. Comparisons with previous thermodynamics data are made.
