On the aspect of plane of appearance of Jahn-Teller and Renner-Teller intersections in tetra-atomic system—A case study with HCNO+

A search for configuration space with well-defined topological (Berry) phases corresponding to Jahn-Teller (JT) conical intersection (CI) and Renner-Teller (RT) parabolic intersection (PI) in the linear tetra-atomic molecular system on introduction of bending demonstrates the interesting aspect that these potential intersections may appear in the molecular plane as well as out of the molecular plane. While understanding this aspect is important for following the class of phenomena led by potential intersections, till date, studies on molecular systems, including pairs such as (C₂H₂⁺, HCNH) and (N₂H₂⁺, HBNH⁺), have not been able to clarify the issue. The present article includes calculation of nonadiabatic coupling terms involving four low-lying states of slightly bent HCNO⁺, a motivated choice of tetra-atomic with all four different atoms, to study this aspect associated with JT-CI and RT-PI in a slightly bent linear system. The plane of appearance of these effects has been advocated to be related to the electronic configuration of the concerned states of the molecular system.

通过固相燃烧法快速合成了包含{111}、{100}和{110}晶面的单晶去顶角八面体形貌LiZn_0.08Al_0.01Mn_1.91O₄正极材料。结果表明,Zn-Al共掺促进了尖晶石型LiMn₂O₄材料的晶体发育和晶面择优生长,形成了单晶去顶角八面体形貌晶粒,有效抑制了Jahn-Teller效应,减缓了Mn溶解,增强了其晶体结构稳定性,显著提升了合成材料的电化学性能。LiZn_0.08Al_0.01Mn_1.91O₄在5C和10C下的首次放电比容量分别为92.6和76.5 mAh·g^-1,经过2 000次循环后的容量保持率分别为70.4%和74.8%。即使在15C高倍率下,仍有64.2 mAh·g^-1的首次放电比容量,循环800次后容量保持率达到82.2%。与LiZn_0.08Mn_1.92O₄相比,LiZn_0.08Al_0.01Mn_1.91O₄正极材料具有较大的Li+扩散系数(1.02×10^-11 cm²·s^-1)和较小的表观活化能(25.60 kJ·mol^-1),表明Zn-Al共掺和单晶形貌调控策略能够降低Li+在脱/嵌过程的能垒和增大Li+在电极材料中的扩散速率。     

DFT Study on Structural Distortion and Vibronic Coupling of Vanadyl Porphyrin Anion and Cation

The geometries of one-electron reduced/oxidized species （[TOP]-/[VOP] ＋） of vanadyl por- phyrin （VOP） have been calculated with PBE1PBE method. The results show that for both [VOP]- and [VOP]＋ the ground states are triplet, in which one of the two unpaired electron occupies the dxy orbital of the V atom while the other occupies the n-orbital of porphyrin ring. Thus both [VOP]- and [VOP]＋ can be considered as n-radicals. The ground state of neutral VOP molecule is doublet with the unpaired electron occupying dxy orbital of V atom. In contract to the C4v symmetry of neutral VOP molecule, [VOP]- anion has a ＂rectangular＂ distorted C2v structure due to Jahn-Teller effect. The linear vibronic coupling constants for the Jahn-Teller active modes of [TOP]- were evaluated and the node patterns of frontier KS orbitals are used to explain the reason why the distortion occurs along specific modes. The ground state [VOP]＋ has a porphyrin ring with pronounced bond length alternation due to pseudo-Jahn-Teller effect, causing its symmetry declined from C4v to Ca. The bond length alternation is well explained with the node patterns of re-constructed frontier KS orbitals.     

First-principle investigation of Jahn-Teller distortion and topological analysis of chemical bonds in LiNiO2

First-principle GGA+U calculations were performed on the undistorted rhombohedral R3?m model, the collinear Jahn-Teller distorted monoclinic C2/m model, and six non-collinear Jahn-Teller distortion ordering models of LiNiO₂. The zigzag and C2/m models are found to be the most stable and the next most stable structural models, respectively. An energy gap appears for the C2/m and zigzag structures, whereas no energy gap appears for the R3?m structure. Topological analyses were performed on the R3?m, C2/m and zigzag models using the atoms-in-molecules theory and the electron localization function. The results show that the Ni-O interaction is the transit closed-shell interaction, in which the net electron transfer occurs from the Ni ion to the ligand O ions. The Ni-O bond possesses the σ dative bond character and is polarized toward the O ions. In the distorted structures, the bonding electrons around the oxygen atom are strongly polarized toward the long Ni-O bond.     

Local atomic structure around Mn ions in GaN:Mn thin films: Quantitative XANES analysis

GaN:Mn dilute magnetic semiconductors with zinc-blende type of lattice and room temperature ferromagnetism were investigated by the X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) with a high accuracy approach of the multidimensional interpolation, which makes it possible to determine the nanoscale local atomic structure around Mn impurities. It is found that Mn atoms are substantially incorporated into the GaN lattice and Jahn-Teller distortion around Mn atom is observed. Our results show that symmetry changes around Mn atom influence on XANES spectrum significantly. Furthermore, the possible impact of local distortions on the magnetic properties is discussed.

Chemical vapor transport and solid-state exchange synthesis of new copper selenite bromides

A new dimorphic copper selenite bromide, Cu₅(SeO₃)₄Br₂ was obtained via chemical transport reactions. α-Cu₅(SeO₃)₄Br₂, monoclinic (1m) and β-Cu₅(SeO₃)₄Br₂, triclinic (1a) polymorphs were produced simultaneously upon reaction of amorphous, partially dehydrated copper selenite and copper bromide. 1m is similar to Cu₅(SeO₃)₄Cl₂, whereas 1a is distantly related to Ni₅(SeO₃)₄Br₂ and Co₅(SeO₃)₄Br₂. Attempts to reproduce synthesis of 1a via exchange reaction between Na₂SeO₃ and CuBr₂ resulted in a new Na₂[Cu₇O₂](SeO₃)₄Br₄ (2). Current study demonstrates for the first time, that both chemical vapor and exchange reactions can be employed in preparation of new selenite halides.
