Theoretical Study of Geometric Structures for Ground-state Al_nC（n=2-7） Clusters

With the aid of the molecular orbital DMol3 program,the energetics and electronic structures of several AlnC(n = 2-7) configurations have been searched and calculated by improved minimum energy paths(MEPs) by setting "imaging product".A new high symmetry,supervalence isomer of Al5C cluster,i.e.,D5h-Al5C,at the local minimum in the MEPs is detected.Several parameters,such as binding energy,HOMO-LUMO energy gap,vertical electron detachment energy and electron affinity energy,are calculated to characterize and evaluate the stability of three Al5C configurations,i.e.,D5h-Al5C,Cs-Al5C and C1-Al5C.The results show that the D5h-Al5C cluster is the ground state structure instead of Cs-Al5C.Due to the formation of many central σ bonds after polymerizing for D5h-Al5C,the decrease of the energy for HOMO orbit results in more territory for HOMO electrons of dislocation effect,then the energy difference between HOMO and LUMO is increasing to enhance the stability of molecules to produce such supervalence structure of Al5C cluster.The configuration evolution between D5h-Al5C,Cs-Al5C and C1-Al5C and the synthesis preference in the mode of Al5 + C → Al5C reveals that the Cs-Al5C and C1-Al5C con-figurations are permissive to coexist with D5h-Al5C structure in energetics.     

Theoretical Study on the Structural and Electronic Properties of the Reduced SnO2 （110） Surface

The reduced SnO2(110) surface has been investigated by using first-principles method with a slab model. By examining the vacancy formation energy of three kinds of reduced SnO2(110) surfaces, the most energetically favorable defect surface is confirmed to be the surface with the coexistence of bridging and in-plane oxygen vacancies, which is different with the traditional model by only removing bridging oxygen. The results of band structure calculations indicate that the electronic structure of this defect surface is similar to the SnO surface.

Density Functional Theory Study on the Structural and Electronic Properties of Ge（SiO_2）_n Clusters

The geometry,stability,binding energy and electronic properties of(SiO2)n and Ge(SiO2)n clusters(n = 7) have been investigated by Density functional theory(DFT).The results show that the lowest energy structures of Ge(SiO2)n are obtained by adding one Ge on the end site of the O atom or the Si near end site of the O atom in(SiO2)n.The chemical activation of Ge-(SiO2)n is improved compared with(SiO2)n.The calculated second-order difference of energies and fragmentation energies show that the Ge(SiO2)n clusters with n = 2 or 5 are stable.     

Theoretical Studies of the Electronic Structures and Spectrum Properties of Pt n Ni m (n + m = 7, n, m ≠ 0) Clusters

We studied Pt _n Ni _m (n + m = 7, n, m ≠ 0) clusters within the framework of the density functional theory (B3LYP) at the LANL2DZ level. The calculated results show that the Fermi levels are determined by the number of Pt atoms, which gain electrons from Ni atoms. Meanwhile, multifarious orbital hybridization is found in the frontier molecular orbital, and the more platinum or nickel atoms, the smaller energy gap it has. Moreover, the calculated IR and Raman spectrum indicates the aromatic character, which is vital for transitional metal clusters.

DFT Studies on Thermal Stabilities,Electronic Structures,and ~（13）C Chemical Shifts of C_（24）O_2 Based on Fullerene C_（24）（D_6）

Quantum chemical calculations on some possible equilibrium geometries of C24O2 isomers derived from C24 (D6) and C24O have been performed using density functional theory (DFT) method. The geometric and electronic structures as well as the relative energies and thermal stabilities of various C24O2 isomers at the ground state have been calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. And the 1,4,2,5-C24O2 isomer was found to be the most stable geometry where two oxygen atoms were added to the longest carbon-carbon bonds in the same pentagon from a thermodynamic point of view. Based on the optimized neutral geometries, the vertical ionization potential and vertical electron affinity have been obtained. Meanwhile, the vibrational frequencies, IR spectrum, and 13C chemical shifts of various C24O2 isomers have been calculated and analyzed.

Stability,Infrared Spectra and Electronic Structures of (ZrO2)n(n=3-6)Clusters:DFT Study

The stability, infrared spectra and electronic structures of (ZrO₂)_n (n=3–6) clusters have been investigated by using density‐functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6‐31G* level. The lowest‐energy structures have been recognized by considering a number of structural isomers for each cluster size. It is found that the lowest‐energy (ZrO₂)₅ cluster is the most stable among the (ZrO₂)_n (n=3–6) clusters. The vibration spectra of Zr? O stretching motion from terminal oxygen atom locate between 900 and 1000 cm^?1, and the vibrational band of Zr? O? Zr? O four member ring is obtained at 600–700 cm^?1, which are in good agreement with the experimental results. Mulliken populations and NBO charges of (ZrO₂)_n clusters indicate that the charge transfers occur between 4d orbital of Zr atoms and 2p orbital of O atoms. HOMO‐LUMO gaps illustrate that chemical stabilities of the lowest‐energy (ZrO₂)_n (n=3–6) clusters display an even‐odd alternating pattern with increasing cluster size.

Theoretical investigation of the adsorption of oxygen on small bimetallic LimCun (m,n ≤ 4) clusters

A theoretical study of the adsorption of molecular oxygen on small bimetallic Li_mCu_n (m, n ≤ 4) clusters was carried out using density functional methods, and it was compared with the adsorption of O₂ on copper (Cu_n, n ≤ 8) clusters. The study of O₂‐Li_mCu_n system is important to understand the promotion effects of the alkali atoms on the copper surface participating in the catalytic processes. Adsorption energies ranging from 7.9 to 51 kcal/mol were found, which represented values over 30% to those calculated for the adsorption of O₂ on copper clusters in a previous study. Thus, the reactivity of molecular oxygen on bimetallic clusters is more favorable with high tendency being in favor of the dissociation of the O₂ molecule. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
