A novel type of Ti decorating benzene grafted tetrahydrido-silsequioxane struc-tures was designed and investigated using density functional theory(DFT).The hydrogen adsorption properties of this new material were investigated at the same level of theory.The results reveal that up to four hydrogen molecules(with the restrict of 18 electrons rule) can be adsorbed on each Ti atom of(TiC6H5)m-H4-mSi4O6(m = 1-4) molecular systems with the average binding energies of 0.691,0.692,0.693 and 0.695 eV for m = 1-4,respectively.The variations of HOMO- LUMO energy gaps verify that the host structures with four H2 molecules adsorbed own the best kinetics stability.The interaction mechanism of H2 molecules with the host materials mainly attributes to the well-known "kubas interactions".All the results indicate that the complex structures designed here may be used as hydrogen storage materials at ambient conditions.

Theoretical Study on the Photodegradation Mechanism of Pyrethroid Insecticide Fenvalerate in Water

The photodegradation mechanism of fenvalerate in water has been investigated by density functional theory(DFT).The geometries of reactants,transition states,intermediates and products are optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G* level.The calculated results indicate that the reaction process mainly includes the nucleophilic attack and the substitution reaction by hydroxyl radical to the carbonyl group.By vibrational frequency analysis and intrinsic reaction coordinate(IRC) method,the transition state and its reaction pathway are confirmed.Moreover,the changes of natural population analysis(NPA),calculated using the Natural bond orbital(NBO) method,are analyzed along with the degradation reaction which can explain the variation of chemical bonds.Additionally,the solvent effect is also investigated and the results show that the reaction preferably takes place in water.     

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.
