The interaction of molecular oxygen with active sites of graphite: a theoretical study

The adsorption of molecular oxygen at defective edge sites of zigzag and armchair graphite surfaces has been investigated by adopting cluster models in conjunction with density functional theory. Several different types of chemisorbed O₂ species are identified. It was found that the defect edge sites exhibit the significant catalytic role toward the adsorption and activation of molecular oxygen. The O₂ molecule is not only able to strongly bind to these edge sites, but the O–O bond strength is obviously weakened. Moreover, the calculated adsorption energy for O₂ adsorbed on the clean graphite basal surface is fairly consistent with the weak interaction nature of O₂ with the surface observed in the experiment, indicating one-layer cluster model is an effective way to study O₂ adsorption on graphite surface in terms of accuracy and computational cost, which is in agreement with previous experience. Whereas, we note that the local detailed arrangement of edge carbon atoms can play an important effect on the adsorption of O₂ on defect surfaces.

A quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics study on the hydrolysis mechanism of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1

New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) has emerged as a major global threat to human health for its rapid rate of dissemination and ability to make pathogenic microbes resistant to almost all known β-lactam antibiotics. In addition, effective NDM-1 inhibitors have not been identified to date. In spite of the plethora of structural and kinetic data available, the accurate molecular characteristics of and details on the enzymatic reaction of NDM-1 hydrolyzing β-lactam antibiotics remain incompletely understood. In this study, a combined computational approach including molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics calculations was performed to characterize the catalytic mechanism of meropenem catalyzed by NDM-1. The quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics results indicate that the ionized D124 is beneficial to the cleavage of the C–N bond within the β-lactam ring. Meanwhile, it is energetically favorable to form an intermediate if no water molecule coordinates to Zn2. Moreover, according to the molecular dynamics results, the conserved residue K211 plays a pivotal role in substrate binding and catalysis, which is quite consistent with previous mutagenesis data. Our study provides detailed insights into the catalytic mechanism of NDM-1 hydrolyzing meropenem β-lactam antibiotics and offers clues for the discovery of new antibiotics against NDM-1 positive strains in clinical studies.

采用基于赝势平面波基组的第一性原理方法对一系列具有钙钛矿结构的复合稀土铁氧化物RFeO₃ (R＝镧系稀土元素)的构型和电子结构进行了系统研究. 考察了铁磁(FM)和反铁磁(AFM)两种磁结构, 其中AFM型在常温下更为稳定, 且其构型优化结果更接近于实验测量值. 不论是FM还是AFM构型, R原子的磁距均与自由R^3＋离子相同; 对于Fe原子, 在FM结构中的磁距较AFM类型来得小; 随着R原子序数的增加, 两种磁结构中Fe原子的磁距均呈减小趋势; 对于相同类型的RFeO₃化合物, 具有非常类似的能带结构, 其中AFM构型在费米能级处存在明显的带隙, 而FM型化合物则具有金属特性.     

A Polymeric Iodiplumbate(Ⅱ) Templated by Conjugated Quaternary Ammonium: Synthesis, Band Structure and Optical Properties

A new lead(Ⅱ) iodide coordination polymer [(npq)(PbI3)]n 1 (npq = N-propyl- quinolinium) has been synthesized in the presence of npq as structure-directing reagent (SDA). Compound 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pbca, with a = 19.158(4), b = 7.9909(16), c = 22.929(5) (A), V = 3510.2(12) (A)3, Z = 8, Dc = 2.877 g/cm3, F(000) = 2672, C12H14I3NPb, Mr = 760.14, μ(MoKα) = 14.872 mm-1, the final R = 0.0431 and wR = 0.1021 for 3678 observed reflections with I＞2σ(I). Structure determination indicates that the [PbI3]-n infinite chains in each unit cell shape the sketch of 1, which could be described as the result of face-sharing distorted PbI6 octahedra running along the b axis. Electrostatic interaction between conjugated organic counter-cations and inorganic moieties presents and contributes to the crystal packing. 1 was further characterized with IR and elemental analysis. Based on the crystal structure data, quantum chemical calculation with DFT method was used to reveal the electronic structure and optical property of 1.

Prediction of the Frontier Electronic States in a Finite Single-wall Carbon Nanotube

A theoretical model is summarized into the shorter vector principle. It is used to predict the topological structure of wave function and the oscillation rule of energy gap in various types of finite carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The theoretical model indicates that the characteristics of the electronic states only depend on the nanotube size and its symmetry along the shorter vector direction. In this direction, the wave functions of the original 3m (or 3m/2) periodicity are also suitable for armchair, chiral and zigzag finite CNTs with the C2 (Cs), C1 and Cn point groups, respectively. Energy gaps present the oscillation with 3m (or 3m/2) or odd-even n. The first principle calculations for some prototype systems are performed. The results are consistent with the theoretical model.     

碳负离子重排的DFT计算研究

采用密度泛函方法计算了碳负离子1,2-迁移和1,4-迁移两个反应的过渡态的分子轨道,发现在过渡态中迁移原子携带正电荷,剩余部分则形成双碳负离子。在1,2-迁移过渡态中,剩余的双碳负离子的HOMO位相与迁移原子的LUMO位相不匹配。但在1,4-迁移过渡态中,剩余的双碳负离子的HOMO位相与迁移原子的LUMO位相匹配。所以碳负离子的1,2-迁移是轨道对称性禁阻的反应,而1,4-迁移则是轨道对称性允许的反应。本文的计算可以为我国高等有机化学教学提供良好参考。     

THE CONTINUOUS MULTIPLE CENTRE d-pπBOND IN SOLID STATE (Ⅰ) Band Structure And Metallic Behavior in TaPtTe_5 Type Compounds

<正> In this paper, we propose a new type of bond, continuous multi-centered d-pn bond on the basis of the Extended Huckel Tight-Banding Calculation and SCC-EHMO calculation for TaPtTe5 and its iso-structural compounds with infinite continuous structrue. The results show that the d-pπbonds which are mainly responsible for the metallic properties are very strong and dispersive. The ΔE, the energy gap between half-filled band block and the unoccupied band block is closely related to the conductivity. The conductivity of TaPdTe5 and NbPtTe5 is predicted. The perturbations between Te atoms in intralayer and interlayer are discussed.
