Coordination geometry of Cu is a highly distorted octahedron and the whole structure is stabilized by π-π stacking and static attractive forces from [ClO4]- anions. Based on the crystal data, quantum chemistry calculation at the DFT/ B3LPY level was used to reveal the electronic structure of 1.

The emission of NOx during coal combustion contributes to the formation of acid rain and photochemical smog,which would seriously affect the quality of atmospheric environment.Therefore,the decrease of NOx is of great importance for improving the efficient utilization of coal.The present review comprehensively summarized the influence factors and mechanisms of migration and transformation of nitrogen during the coal pyrolysis and combustion based on experimental study and quantum chemical calculation.Firstly,in the process of pyrolysis:the occurrence state and transformation of nitrogen were concluded.The influence of temperature,atmosphere,heating rate and catalyst on formation of NOx precursor and nitrogen migration path at the molecular level were summarized;Secondly,during the process of combustion:the influence of temperature,ambient oxygen concentration,physical structure of coal char,catalyst on heterogeneous oxidation of char(N)were summarized;The effects of char surface properties,catalyst and ambient atmosphere on heterogeneous reduction of NOx were also concluded.Based on the quantum chemical calculation,the reaction path of heterogeneous oxidation of char-N and heterogeneous reduction of NOx were described in detail.Current studies focus more on the generation of HCN and NH3,but in order to reduce the pollution of NOx from the source,it is necessary to further improve the process conditions and the optimal formula of producing more N2 during pyrolysis,as well as clarify the path of the generation of N2.Experiments study and quantum chemistry calculation should be combined to complete the research of directional nitrogen reduction during pyrolysis and denitration during combustion.

Quantum Chemistry Calculations on the Interaction Between Kaolinite and Gold

The density,function and discrete variation method (DFT - DVM) is used to study the interaction between kaolinite and gold. The correlation among the structure, chemical bond and stability is discussed. Several models are selected without gold and with gold in different directions and sites. The results show that the models with gold on the edge of kaolinite basal layer are more stable than those with gold above or under the layer, the models with gold near to [AlO2 (OH)(4)] octahedra are more stable than those with gold near to the vacancy without aluminium. The interaction between gold and the surface ions of kaolinite is strong enough to form the surface complexes.

The Quantum Chemistry Calculation and Thermoelectricsof Bi-Sb-Te Series

The density junction theory and discrete variation method ( DFT - DVM) was used to study correlation between composition, structure, chemical bond, and property of thermoelectrics of Bi-Sb-Te series. 8 models of Bi20-xSbxTe32(x = 0,2,6,8,12,14,18 and 20) were calculated. The results show that there is less difference in the ionic bonds between Te( I)-Bi(Sb) and Te(Ⅱ)-Bi(Sb) , but the covalent bond of Te(Ⅰ)-Bi( Sb ) is stronger than that of Te(Ⅱ)-Bi( Sb ) . The interaction between Te(Ⅰ) and Te(Ⅰ) in different layers is the weakest and the interaction should be Van Der Wools power. The charge of Sb is lower than that of Bi, and the ionic bond of Te-Sb is weaker than that of Te-Bi. The covalent bond of Te-Sb is also weaker than that of Te-Bi. Therefore, the thermoelectric property may be imfiroved by adjusting the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity through changing the composition in the compounds of Bi-Sb-Te. The calculated results are consistent with the experiments.

Formation and dissociation of protonated cytosine–cytosine base pairs in i-motifs by ab initio quantum chemical calculations

Formation and dissociation mechanisms of C-C＋ base pairs in acidic and alkaline environments are investigated, employing ab initio quantum chemical calculations. Our calculations suggest that, in an acidic environment, a cytosine monomer is first protonated and then dimerized with an unprotonated cytosine monomer to form a C-C＋ base pair; in an alkaline environment, a protonated cytosine dimer is first unprotonated and then dissociated into two cytosine monomers. In addition, the force for detaching a C-C＋ base pair was found to be inversely proportional to the distance between the two cytosine monomers. These results provide a microscopic mechanism to qualitatively explain the experimentally observed reversible formation and dissociation of i-motifs.

First-Principles Calculations of the Quantum Size Effects on the Stability and Reactivity of Ultrathin Ru (0001) Films

We carry out first-principles calculations of Ru（0001） films up to 30 monolayers （MLs） to study the quantum size effect （Q, SE） of Ru films for two cases： the freestanding Ru films and Ru films on Pt（111） substrates. Our studies show that the properties of these films （surface energy, work-function, charge density decay length in a vacuum and chemical reactivity） exhibit pronounced oscillatory behavior as a function of the film thickness, with an oscillation period of about four MLs for both cases due to the relationship of the match between the Fermi wave vector and the film thickness. Due to the localization of d-electron of Ru films, these quantum oscillations almost disappear when the thickness of the film is more than -20 ML for the free standing Ru films, while for the Ru films on Pt substrates the oscillations disappear quickly when the thickness of the film is beyond -13 ML. Our results reveal that the stability and reactivity of the Ru films could be tailored through Q, SE and the Ru bilayer grown on Pt substrates observed in the experiment is also related to the effect.

Charge effects on quinoline hydrodenitrogenation catalyzed by Ni-Mo-S active sites-A theoretical study by DFT calculation

The charge distribution on Ni-Mo-S active sites can affect hydrodenitrogenation(HDN)activity.In this study,a series of model Ni-Mo-S were developed with various charge distributions.For comparison,the charge distribution effects on quinoline HDN were studied.The results show that a lack of electrons and extra protons can both lower the orbital eigenvalue of the Ni-Mo-S,leading to stronger adsorption of nitrogen-containing compounds and inhibition of ammonia desorption.Electron deficiency will improve the generation of active hydrogen on the active sites but inhibit hydrogen transfer to the nitrogen compounds;extra protons can provide H^(+)to the nitrogen compounds,which will flexibly transfer between the nitrogen compound and active sites,thus improving the cleavage of the C-N bond.

Effects of the structural order of canthaxanthin on the Raman scattering cross section in various solvents:A study by Raman spectroscopy and ab initio calculation

In this work,we measure the Raman scattering cross sections（RSCSs） of the carbon-carbon（CC） stretching vibrational modes of canthaxanthin in benzene,acetone,n-heptane,cyclohexane,and m-xylene.It is found that the absolute RSCS of CC stretching mode of canthaxanthin reaches a value of 10 24 cm ^-2 ·molecule ^-1 ·sr ^-1 at 8×10 ^-5 M,which is 6 orders of magnitude larger than general RSCS（10 30 cm 2 ·molecule 1 ·sr 1）,and the RSCSs of canthaxanthin in various solvents are very different due to the hydrogen bond.A theoretical interpretation of the magnetic experimental results is given,which is introduced in a qualitative nonlinear model of coherent weakly damped electron-lattice vibration in the structural order of polyene chains.In addition,the optimal structure and the bond length alternation（BLA） parameter of canthaxanthin are calculated using quantum chemistry calculation（at the b3lyp/6-31g（d,p） level of theory）.The theoretical calculations are in good agreement with the experimental results.Furthermore,the combination of Raman spectroscopy and the quantum chemistry calculation study would be a quite suitable method of studying the structures and the properties of the π-conjugated systems.
