Electronic Structure and Chemical Bonding of Nickel Impurities in Cubic Silicon Carbide

The electronic structure, magnetic states, and chemical bonding of a nickel impurity in cubic silicon carbide (-SiC) were studied by the ab initioself-consistent discrete variation method depending on the position of the impurity in the crystal. The interstitial (Ni(i)) and substitution (Ni(s)) positions were considered and more complex (paired) Ni(i)–Si vacancy and Ni(s)–Si(i) types of defects were simulated.

掺杂元素Ti和Ni对NaAlH4放氢性能影响的第一原理研究

利用第一性原理方法研究了掺杂元素Ti, Ni对NaAlH4放氢性能的影响. 计算表明: Ti在NaAlH4中倾向于替代Al原子, 而Ni则倾向于占据间隙位置. 电子结构分析显示Ti替代NaAlH4中的Al位置时与近邻的Al原子产生强烈的相互作用, 破坏[AlH4]基团的结构, 从而改善NaAlH4的放氢性能. Ti替代Na或占据间隙位置时Ti与H原子间存在较强的相互作用, 有可能诱发TiH2相而改善NaAlH4的放氢性能. 与Ti相比Ni对NaAlH4放氢性能的影响较小, 仅当Ni占据间隙位置时才可能对[AlH4]基团产生一定影响. 总体而言, Ti对NaAlH4放氢性能的影响强于Ni的作用, 这与实验观测相吻合.     

Chemical Bonding and Electronic Structure of 4d-Metal Monosulfides

Bond distances, vibrational frequencies, dissociation energies, electron affinities, ionization potentials and dipole moments of the title molecules in neutral and charged ions were studied by use of density functional method. Ground states for each molecule were assigned. The calculated bond distance decreases with the increasing of atomic number of 4d metals, reaches minimum at RhS, then increases. For cationic molecules, the calculated bond distance decreases to the minimum at MoS⁺, then increases. The calculated vibrational frequency decreases from YS(YS⁺) to PdS(PdS⁺) for both neutral and cationic molecules. The bond ionic character decreases from YS(YS⁺) to PdS(PdS⁺) for neutral and cationic molecules. The bonding patterns are discussed and compared with the available studies.

Structure,Chemical Bonding,and Properties of Sc2Ni2In

Sc₂Ni₂In was prepared by a reaction of the elemental components in an are furnace and subsequent annealing at 1070 K. Sc₂Ni₂In is a Pauli paramagnet and a poor metallic conductor with a specific resistivity of 224 mΩcm at room temperature. Its crystal structure was refined from X-ray powder data: P4/mbm, a = 716.79(1) pm, c = 333.154(8) pm, Z = 2, R_wp = 0.040, and R_B(I) = 0.026. Sc₂Ni₂In crystallizes with a ternary ordered version of the U₃Si₂-type structure. The nickel and indium atoms occupy [NiSc₆] trigonal prisms and [InSc₈] square prisms, respectively. These structural fragments are derived from the AlB₂ and CsCl-type structures. Semi-empirical band structure calculations reveal Sc₂Ni₂In to be a nickelide, and the strongest bonding interactions are found for the Sc? Ni contacts, followed by Sc? In and Ni? In. A rigidband model suggests the existence of the isotypic phase Sc₂Ni₂Sb.

锕酰冠醚配合物电子结构和化学成键理论研究进展

本文对锕系化合物的结构和性质的理论研究进行了规律性总结,并结合我们的研究成果,重点介绍了锕酰冠醚配合物的配位化学、电子结构和化学成键的基本特征。尽管近年来出现越来越多的光谱实验和晶体学数据报道,但是对锕系配合物的电子结构和化学成键的理论研究还不够系统。本文对锕酰冠醚配合物的配位结构、稳定能和光谱性质的计算结果进行了综述。大环配体(硫代)冠醚的腔体大小决定了配合物的结构特征。通过理论研究,在锕酰冠醚配合物中存在具有典型的An≡O_actinyl共价键和An-O_ligand和An-S_ligand离子键。对于离子键An-O_ligand和An-S_ligand,An和供电子配体之间通过价原子轨道的径向分布重叠形成微弱的共价相互作用。从U到Cm,配体向金属的电荷转移(LMCT)逐渐显著,导致Am和Cm的氧化态降低,金属离子与配体的作用变弱。这一成键规律和金属氧化态的变化规律,为实验上筛选合理且高效的镧锕分离配体提供重要理论指导。     

Electronic Energy Structure and the Nature of Chemical Bonding in Monoferrites with a Spinel Structure M(Mg, Mn, Ni, Zn)Fe2O4

The electronic energy structure and FeK XANES in monoferrites MgFe₂O₄, MnFe₂O₄, NiFe₂O₄, and ZnFe₂O₄ were calculated with the FEFF8 program. In both normal (MnFe₂O₄, ZnFe₂O₄) and invert (MgFe₂O₄, NiFe₂O₄) spinels, hybridization of the p-states of oxygen with the 3d-states of transition metal ions leads to a similarity in the formation of the top of the valence band. In contrast to the magnetic nickel and manganese ions, the nonmagnetic zinc and magnesium ions are not actively involved in chemical bonding. It is shown that when Mn and Fe lie in the same coordination spheres of the absorbing iron atom the 3d-states are split and the curve of the densities of the p-states of transition element ions with different spin orientations changes in shape.

Uranocenium: Synthesis,Structure, and Chemical Bonding

Abstraction of iodide from [(η⁵‐C₅ⁱPr₅)₂UI] ( 1 ) produced the cationic uranium(III) metallocene [(η⁵‐C₅ⁱPr₅)₂U]⁺ ( 2 ) as a salt of [B(C₆F₅)₄]^?. The structure of 2 consists of unsymmetrically bonded cyclopentadienyl ligands and a bending angle of 167.82° at uranium. Analysis of the bonding in 2 showed that the uranium 5f orbitals are strongly split and mixed with the ligand orbitals, thus leading to non‐negligible covalent contributions to the bonding. Investigation of the dynamic magnetic properties of 2 revealed that the 5f covalency leads to partially quenched anisotropy and fast magnetic relaxation in zero applied magnetic field. Application of a magnetic field leads to dominant relaxation by a Raman process.
