Bond dissociation energies for removal of nitrogen dioxide groups in 10 aliphatic nitro compounds, including nitromethane, nitroethylene, nitroethane, dinitromethane, 1-nitropropane, 2-nitropropane, 1-nitrobutane, 2-m...Bond dissociation energies for removal of nitrogen dioxide groups in 10 aliphatic nitro compounds, including nitromethane, nitroethylene, nitroethane, dinitromethane, 1-nitropropane, 2-nitropropane, 1-nitrobutane, 2-methyl-2-nitropropane, nitropentane, and nitrohexane, are calculated using the highly accurate complete basis set （CBS-Q） and the three hybrid density functional theory （DFT） methods B3LYP, B3PW91 and B3P86 with 6-31G^＊＊ basis set. By comparing the computed bond dissociation energies and experimental results, we find that the B3LYP/6-31G^＊＊ and B3PW91/6-31G^＊＊ methods are incapable of predicting the satisfactory bond dissociation energy （BDE）. However, B3P86/6-31G^＊＊ and CBS-Q computations are capable of giving the calculated BDEs, which are in extraordinary agreement with the experimental data. Nevertheless, since CBS-Q computational demands increase rapidly with the number of containing atoms in molecules, larger molecules soon become prohibitively expensive. Therefore, we suggest to take the B3P86/6-31G^＊＊ method as a reliable method of computing the BDEs for removal of the NO2 groups in the aliphatic nitro compounds.展开更多

It is proposed that a so-called concordant shifting model, based on rearrangements of five-atom subclusters, can describe the plastic strain behaviour of BMGs in a temperature range from room temperature to the supercooled liquid region. To confirm the effectiveness of the atomic concordant shifting model, a comparative investigation between the vacancy/atom model and the concordant shifting model is carried out based on the estimation of the strain rate deduced from two models. Our findings suggest that the atomic concordant shifting model rather than the vacancy/atom exchange model can well predict the large strain rate in the superplasticity of BMGs.展开更多
