The strength of the interaction in the H3C… LiH, H3CH2C… LiH, (H3C)2HC… LiH, and u v (H3C)3C… LiH complexes was analyzed in term of the geometries, energies, frequency shifts, stabilization energies, charges, and topological parameters. It is shown that (H3C)3C radical with LiH forms the strongest single-electron lithium bond, followed by (H3C)2HC radical, then H3CH2C radical, and H3C radical forms the weakest single-electron lithium bond. A positive non-additivity is present among methyl groups. Natural bond orbital and atoms in molecules analyses were used to estimate such conclusions. Furthermore, there are few linear/nonlinear relationships in the system and the interaction mode of single-electron Li- bond is different from the single-electron H-bond and single-electron halogen bond.展开更多

The ionization bands have been assigned in detail via the high accuracy SACCI general-R method calculation and the experimental momentum profiles are compared with the theoretical ones calculated by Hartree-Fock and B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ(C,H)6-311G??(I). The spin-orbit coupling effect and intramolecular orbital interaction have been analyzed for the outermost two bands, which are assigned to the iodine 5p lone pairs, using NBO method and non-relativistic as well as relativistic calculations. It is found that both of the interactions will lead to the observed differences in electron momentum distributions. The experimental results agree with the relativistic theoretical momentum profiles, indicating that the spin-orbit coupling effect dominates in n-propyl iodide molecule.展开更多

The results of temperature programmed desorption (TPD) indicated that the temperatures of the three desorption peaks of the main N2 molecules were at (low) temperature of 230 K, 450 K, and (high) temperature of 980 K. This meant that N^18O decomposed and recombined during the process of N2 desorption after N^18O was exposed. Analysis of thestable combination and orbital theory calculation of the surface reaction of NO adsorption on the TiO2(110) cluster modelshowed that there was clear preference for the Ti-NO orientation.展开更多

We have discussed here several mechanism types of Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone with H2O2 in different reaction systems. Five main types have been addressed, i. e.: (1) the non-catalyzed reaction type, where the C=O of ketones is activated by H+, which is electrolytically dissociated from H202 and H20, to improve the capability of C=O group for accepting the electron pairs; (2) the thermally activated radical reaction type, where the Criegee intermediate is produced via two steps of radical reaction with -OH attack, with much more hydroxyl radicals being excited in the presence of TS-1 zeolite; (3) the Bronsted acid catalysis reaction type, where both O-O moiety and C=O group could be activated by BriSnsted acid; (4) the solid Lewis acid catalyzed C=O of the substrate activation reaction type through enhancing the donor-acceptor interaction between the antibonding π*c-o orbital of cyclohexanone and HOMO of Sn-containing zeolites; and (5) the solid Lewis acid catalyzed H202 to form Me-OOH oxidative species by converting the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of Ti-OOH into a singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO), making the O--O group highly electrophilic to attack the C--O of cyclohexanone during the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation process. In the end, we have also compared the different mechanisms and put forward our opinions on the development direction of catalytic materials aiming at eco-friendly Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone in the years to come.展开更多
The geometry optimizations and the single point energy calculations of iron tetraphenylporphyrin chloride Fe(TPP)Cl and iron tetraphenylporphyrin chloride (Fe(TPP)Cl), iron pentafluorophenylporphyrin chloride ...The geometry optimizations and the single point energy calculations of iron tetraphenylporphyrin chloride Fe(TPP)Cl and iron tetraphenylporphyrin chloride (Fe(TPP)Cl), iron pentafluorophenylporphyrin chloride (Fe(TPPF20)Cl) were carried out by using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) UB3LYP with STO-3G^* and 6-31G^* basis sets, respectively. The electronic properties and the structures of high-lying molecular orbitals were analyzed in detail. The results show that partial spin is transferred from the Fe atom to the porphyrin ring and some electron with the spin opposite to the unpaired electron on the Fe atom is transferred from the porphyrin ring to the Fe atom. The π and σ-type bonding between the Fe atom and the porphyin ring cause the transfer. The fluorination enhances the electron transfer and the chemical stability of the complex. The high stability is important for the complex possessing high catalytic activity. The catalysis mechanism of oxygen molecule activation on the complex surface is also discussed based on the symmetry of the molecular orbitals.展开更多

Eleven descriptors that reflect the intermolecular forces and molecular symmetry were used as input variables. QSPR parameters were calculated using molecular modeling and PM3 semi-empirical molecular orbital theories. A total of 260 compounds were used to train the network, which was developed using MatLab. Then, the melting points of 73 other compounds were predicted and results were compared to experimental data from the literature. The study shows that the chosen artificial neural network and the quantitative structure property relationships method present an excellent alternative for the estimation of the melting point of an organic compound, with average absolute deviation of 5%.展开更多

The influence of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level and the electron mobility of organic CBL on the solar cells perfor- mance was compared. The results showed that Alq3, Bphen, and HATNA could significantly improve the device performance. The highest efficiency was obtained from device with an- nealed HATNA as CBL and increased for more than 7 times compared with device without CBL. Furthermore~ the simulation results with space charge-limited current theory indicated that the Schottky barrier at the organic/electrode interface in inverted OSC structure was reduced for 27% by inserting HATNA CBL.展开更多

Here, ...Picene, which attracts the great interest of researchers, not only can be used to fabricate thin film transistors with high hole mobilities, but also is the parent material of a new type organic superconductor. Here, we investigate the electronic properties of individual picene molecules directly adsorbed on Cu(111) surface by a combination of experimental scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy measurements and theoretical calculations based on the density functional theory. At low coverage, the picene molecules exhibit mono-dispersed adsorption behavior with the benzene ring planes parallel to the surface. The highest occupied state around -1.2 V and the lowest unoccupied state around 1.6 V with an obvious energy gap of the singly adsorbed picene molecule are identified by the dI/dV spectra and maps. In addition, we observe the strong dependence of the dI/dV signal of the unoccupied states on the intramolecular positions. Our first-principles calculations reproduce the above experimental results and interpret them as a specific molecule-substrate interaction and energy/spatial distributions of hybrid states mainly derived from different molecular orbitals of picene with some intermixing between them. This work provides direct information on the local electronic structure of individual picene on a metallic substrate and will facilitate the understanding the dependence of electron transport properties on the coupling between molecules and metal electrodes in single-molecule devices.展开更多

This theoretical results show that the conductivity of oligoacenes with both sandwiched configurations at low bias voltage is mainly determined by the tail of the transmission peak from the perturbed highest occupied molecular orbital. When the molecular length increases, the zero-bias voltage conductance G(0) of oligoacenes with serial configuration neither follows Magoga's exponential law nor displays the even-odd oscillation effect, while the G(O) of the oligoacenes sandwiched with parallel configuration monotonically increases. The reduction of energy gaps, the alignment of the Fermi level, and the spatial distribution of the perturbed molecular orbitals are used to self-consistently explore the transport mechanism through oligoacenes.展开更多
