Vibrational Spectra and Quantum Calculations of Ethylbenzene

Normal vibrations of ethylbenzene in the first excited state have been studied using resonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy. The band origin of ethylbenzene of S1-S0 transition appeared at 37586 cm-1. A vibrational spectrum of 2000 cm-1 above the band origin in the first excited state has been obtained. Several chain torsions and normal vibrations are obtained in the spectrum. The energies of the first excited state are calculated by the time- dependent density function theory and configuration interaction singles （CIS） methods with various basis sets. The optimized structures and vibrational frequencies of the So and S1 states are calculated using Hartree-Fock and CIS methods with 6-311＋＋G（2d,2p） basis set. The calculated geometric structures in the So and $1 states are gauche conformations that the symmetric plane of ethyl group is perpendicular to the ring plane. All the observed spectral bands have been successfully assigned with the help of our calculations.

Intra-and Intermolecular Rovibrational States of HCl-H_(2)O and DCl-H_(2)O Dimers from Full-Dimensional and Fully Coupled Quantum Calculations

We report full-dimensional and fully coupled quantum bound-state calculations of the J=1 intra-and intermolecular rovibrational states of two isotopologues of the hydrogen chloride-water dimer,HClH_(2)O(HH)and DCl-H_(2)O(DH).The present study complements our recent theoretical investigations of the J=0 nine-dimensional(9D)vibrational level structure of these and two other H/D isotopologues of this noncovalently bound molecular complex,and employs the same accurate 9D permutation invariant polynomial-neural network potential energy surface.The calculations yield all intramolecular vibrational fundamentals of the HH and DH dimers and the low-energy intermolecular rovibrational states in these intramolecular vibrational manifolds.The results are compared with those of the 9D J=0 calculations of the same dimers.The energy differences between the K=1 and K=0 eigenstates exhibit pronounced variations with the intermolecular rovibrational states,for which a qualitative explanation is provided.

A review on nitrogen transformation and conversion during coal pyrolysis and combustion based on quantum chemical calculation and experimental study

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.

Exact quantum calculations on the collinear hydrogen atom transfer reaction——I. Study on oscillations of the reaction probabilities of Cl+HCl

1-D quantum calculations of reaction probabilities have been carried out for the col- linear reaction Cl+HCl (v≤3)→ClH (v＇≤3)+Cl using hyperspherical coordinates. An LEPS po- tential energy surface with a shallow well depth of -3.22 KJ/mol has been used in the calculations. The state-to-state reaction probabilities have been calculated. According to the results obtained we found that the diagonal (v=v＇) reaction probabilities dominate over the off-diagonal (vv＇) reaction probabilities and the largest off-diagonal reaction probabilities are smaller than 0.1. The reaction probabilities show oscillation as a function of energy. Dynamic resonances strengthen for the potential energy surface with a well.

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 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.

Quantum Chemical Calculations of the Structure,Property and Stability of Penta-coordinated Carbonium Ions Derived from Normal Butane

The structure and energy of the carbonium ions formed upon protonation of butane were studied by the DFT methods. Four stable structures are identified for the protonated form of n-butane, the energy increases in the following order： C2HC3〈C1HC2〈C2HH〈C1HH, and the stability decreases in the following order C2HC3〉C1HC2〉C2HH〉C1HH. The stability of the penta-coordinated carbonium ions may be explained by the electron distribution in the three-center-two-electron bonds. The delocalization of the penta-coordinated carbonium ion CHC with three-center-two-electron bonds on positive charges was stronger than that of the penta-coordinated earbonium ion CHH with three-center-two-electron bonds and its stability was higher than that of the penta-coordinated carbonium ion CHH with three-center-two-electron bonds.

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.

Quantum Mechanics Rate Constant for the N-I-ND Reaction

We present nonadiabatic quantum dynamical calculations on the two coupled potential energy surfaces （12A＇ and 22A＇） [J. Theor. Comput. Chem. 8, 849 （2009）] for the reaction. Initial state-resolved reaction probabilities and cross sections for the N＋ND→N2＋D reaction and N＇＋ND→N＋N＇D reaction for collision energies of 5 meV to 1.0 eV are determined, respectively. It is found that the N＋ND→N2＋D reaction is dominated in the N＋ND reaction. In addition, we obtained the rate constants for the N＋ND→N2＋D reaction which demand further experimental investigations.

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.
