Topochemical transformations of layered materials CaX2 (X=Si, Ge) are the method of choice for the high‐yield synthesis of pristine, defect‐free two‐dimensional systems silicane and germanane, which have advanced electronic properties. Based on solid‐state dispersion‐corrected calculations, mechanisms for such transformations are elucidated that provide an in‐depth understanding of phase transition in these layered materials. While formation of such layered materials is highly favorable for silicane and germanane, a barrier of 1.2 eV in the case of graphane precludes its synthesis from CaC2 topochemically. The energy penalty required for distorting linear acetylene into a trans‐bent geometry accounts for this barrier. In contrast it is highly favorable in the heavier analogues, resulting in barrierless topochemical generation of silicane and germanane. Photochemical generation of the trans‐bent structure of acetylene in its first excited state (S1) can directly generate graphane through a barrierless condensation. Unlike the buckled structure of silicene, the phase‐h of CaSi2 with perfectly planar silicene layers exhibits the Dirac cones at the high symmetry points K and H. Interestingly, topochemical acidification of the cubic phase of calcium carbide is predicted to generate the previously elusive platonic hydrocarbon, tetrahedrane. 相似文献

Structures and electronic properties of clusters of an all-Si analogue of graphene, silicene, have been studied through quantum chemical calculations. The structures of the six-membered rings show interesting chair like puckering, which for large sheet-like clusters form ordered ripples. Binding energies, HOMO-LUMO gaps and polarizabilities for the silicene clusters show interesting monotonic trends analogous to polyacenes. Stacking of two silicene layers leads to the formation of closed 3D clusters with high symmetry and strong Si-Si bonds. The heat of hydrogenation of silicene to form silicanes is overwhelmingly exothermic and leads to the opening up of the HOMO-LUMO gaps. Thus, analogous to graphanes, silicanes are predicted to be interesting materials for hydrogen storage and for their band engineering properties. 相似文献

Nucleobases (adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G)) trapped within two metal clusters such as Au(3) undergo expansion. Our investigation reveals that this primarily arises due to the concomitant increase in all the bond lengths in molecules. Such expansion of the molecules can be qualitatively understood on the basis of classical harmonic potentials in the bonds and loss of aromaticity in the rings. Specifically, the highly electronegative O and N elements in the base pairs anchor to Au atoms and form X-Au bonds, which leads to charge redistribution within the molecules. As a very important consequence of this, the nature of the hydrogen bonds (in Au(3)-A...T-Au(3) and in Au(3)-G...C-Au(3)) change substantially within these electrodes in comparison to gas-phase structures. These hydrogen bonds have a single-well potential energy profile (of the type N...H...O and N...H...N) instead of double-well potentials (like N-H...O or N-H...N/ N...H-N types). A detailed energy calculation along the proton movement pathway supports our conclusions. 相似文献

Liquid Lennard-Jones clusters with magic number of atoms N = 55, 147, 309, 561 and 923 were cooled down in Monte Carlo simulations until freezing. Structural properties of the clusters, including the radial dependence of atomic concentration/density and the local regular structure in arrangement of atoms, just before freezing were analysed. Existence of spherical layers in atomic density around the centre of mass of liquid LJ clusters was confirmed. Formation of layers is explained by central net forces acting on every cluster atom and leading to positioning an atom close to the cluster centre of mass. The strong layering in small clusters of N = 55 and 147 affects atomic diffusion in radial and tangential directions inside the cluster, leading to easier movement of atoms on the layer surface. Analysis of radial profiles of four types of structural units detected in liquid clusters reveals that icosahedral units are the most numerous and are located mainly near cluster surface of all clusters and also in the centre of small clusters. 相似文献

Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are central to many organic synthesis methodologies. Traditionally, Pd, Ni, Cu, and Fe catalysts are used to promote these reactions. Recently, many studies have showed that both homogeneous and heterogeneous Au catalysts can be used for activating selective cross-coupling reactions. Here, an overview of the past studies, current trends, and future directions in the field of gold-catalyzed coupling reactions is presented. Design strategies to accomplish selective homocoupling and cross-coupling reactions under both homogeneous and heterogeneous conditions, computational and experimental mechanistic studies, and their applications in diverse fields are critically reviewed. Specific topics covered are: oxidant-assisted and oxidant-free reactions; strain-assisted reactions; dual Au and photoredox catalysis; bimetallic synergistic reactions; mechanisms of reductive elimination processes; enzyme-mimicking Au chemistry; cluster and surface reactions; and plasmonic catalysis. In the relevant sections, theoretical and computational studies of AuI/AuIII chemistry are discussed and the predictions from the calculations are compared with the experimental observations to derive useful design strategies. 相似文献

The fixing of N2 to NH3 is challenging due to the inertness of the N≡N bond. Commercially, ammonia production depends on the energy-consuming Haber-Bosch (H−B) process, which emits CO2 while using fossil fuels as the sources of hydrogen and energy. An alternative method for NH3 production is the electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) process as it is powered by renewable energy sources. Here, we report a tiara-like nickel-thiolate cluster, [Ni6(PET)12] (where, PET=2-phenylethanethiol)] as an efficient electro-catalyst for the electrochemical NRR at ambient conditions. Ammonia (NH3: 16.2±0.8 μg h−1 cm−2) was the only nitrogenous product over the potential of −2.3 V vs. Fc+/Fc with a Faradaic efficiency of 25%±1.7. Based on theoretical calculations, NRR by [Ni6(PET)12] proceeds through both the distal and alternating pathways with an onset potential of −1.84 V vs. RHE (i.e., −2.46 V vs. Fc+/Fc) which corroborates with the experimental findings. 相似文献

DFT calculations, including the effects of small curvature tunneling, have been performed on the reductive elimination of methane from hydridomethylbis(trimethylphosphine)platinum (1d). The calculations find that at 250 K tunneling results in an increase in the rate constant for reductive elimination by a factor of 4, a lowering of Ea by 1.7 kcal/mol, and a decrease in A by a factor of nearly 10. Tunneling is also calculated to increase the primary H/D kinetic isotope effect (KIE) from k(1d)/k(1f) = 2.26 to k(1d)/k(1f) = 4.12 and to result in a large secondary KIE of k(1d)/k(1e) = 1.35. In addition, tunneling is predicted to result in a violation of the rule of the geometric mean, so that the secondary KIE for reductive elimination of methane-d1 from 1f is calculated to be k(1f)/k(1g) = 1.06, which is much smaller than the secondary KIE of k(1d)/k(1e) = 1.35 for reductive elimination of methane from 1d. Comparison of the measured values of k(1d)/k(1e) and k(1f)/k(1g) is therefore proposed as an experimental test of the prediction that tunneling plays an important role in the reductive elimination of methane from 1d. 相似文献
