The results show that the Zr_(n)Cu(n ≥ 3) clusters possess three-dimensional geometries, Zr_(n)Cu(n≥9) possess cage-like geometries, and the Zr_(12)Cu cluster has icosahedral geometry. The binding energy per atom gradually gets enlarged with the increase in the size of the clusters, and Zr_(n)Cu(n=5,7,9,12) have relatively better stability than their neighbors. The magnetic moment of most Zr_(n)Cu clusters is just 1μB, and the main components of the highest occupied molecular orbitals(HOMOs) in the Zr_(12)Cu cluster come from the Zr-d state. There are hardly any localized two-center bonds, and there are about 20 σ-type delocalized three-center bonds.展开更多

The results show that the DFT calculation with the hybrid functional matches the experimental results better in both cases. The calculation results indicate that the adsorption of CH2 is stronger than that of CH3. During adsorption, the charges transfer from Cu to CH2 or CH3. The obtained vibrational frequencies for different modes of CH2 and CH3 adsorbed on Cun agree well with the experimental results for the adsorption on Cu(111) surface.展开更多

Herein, a series of Cu cluster embedded highly porous nanofibers have been prepared through the carbonization of electro-spun MOF/PAN nanofibers.The obtained Cu cluster doped porous nanofibers possessed fibrous morphology, high porosity, conductivity, and uniformly dispersed Cu clusters, which could be applied as promising CO_(2)RR catalysts. Specifically, best of them, MCP-500 exhibited high catalytic performance for CO_(2)RR, in which the Faradaic efficiency of CO(FECO) was as high as 98% at-0.8 V and maintained above 95% after 10 h continuous electrocatalysis. The high performance might be attributed to the synergistic effect of tremendously layered graphene skeleton and uniformly dispersed Cu clusters that could largely promote the electron conductivity, mass transfer and catalytic activity during the electrocatalytic CO_(2)RR process. This attempt will provide a new idea to design highly active CO_(2)RR electrocatalyst.展开更多

The optimized structures show that the transition point from preferentially planar to three-dimensional structure occurs at n = 6 for the AgnAu clusters, and at n = 5 for AgnCu clusters. For different-sized AgnX clusters, one X (X=Au or Cu) atom substituted Agn+l structure is a dominant growth pattern. The calculated fragmentation energies, second-order differences in energies, and the highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO LUMO) energy gaps show interesting odd-even oscillation behaviours, indicating that Ag2,4,6,s and Agl,3,5,7X (X=Au, Cu) clusters keep high stabilities in comparison with their neighbouring clusters. The natural population analysis reveals that the charges transfer from the Agn host to the impurity atom except for the Ag2Cu cluster. Moreover, vertical ionization potential (VIP), vertical electronic affinity (VEA), and chemical hardness (η) are discussed and compared in depth. The same odd even oscillations are found for the VIP and η of the AgnX (X=Au, Cu; n=1-8) clusters.展开更多

The polarisation and pseudopotential basis sets are employed in the calculations. The results show that the binding energies, frequencies, coordination numbers and average bond lengths are in reasonable agreement with reported experimental data. Moreover, four isomers of the Cu5 cluster are obtained according to calculations, in which the most stable configuration is the planar structure. Meanwhile, two three-dimensional structures of the Cu5 cluster are obtained in this work, which might be valuable for further theoretical and experimental studies.

It gives rise to a novel 1D polymeric compound 1 with solvent MeCN coordinated to the copper atom. This situation is unprecedented in the W(Mo)/Cu/S system. The crystals were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The configuration of the polymeric compound can be viewed as a helical chain which is propagated along the crystallographic c axis. The excited state absorption and refraction of compound 1 in CH3CN solution were studied by using the Z-scan technique with laser pulses of 40 ps pulse-width at a wavelength of 532 nm. The polymeric compound possesses an optical self-focusing performance. The positive nonlinear refraction is attributed to population transitions between singlet states. Compound 1 displays a strong excited-state absorption.展开更多
