Full optimization and frequency analysis of all cluster models have been performed employing B3LYP hybrid method at 3-21G basis set level except metal ions which were invoked to use effective core potential (ECP) method. The energy changes, and the main structural parameters have been obtained during the theoretical study of the adsorption of metal ions on the chitosan. The calculations showed that the coordination modes of metal ions with chitosan models were different, the geometries of Mn2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, Pb2+ ions coordinated with two nitrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms were distorted tetrahedral, while the square planar structure of Ni2+ coordinated two nitrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms was observed. The heat of reaction between six metal ions and chitosan models showed the order: Mn2+ >Ni2+ >Zn2+ >Pb2+ >Hg2+ >Cd2+, this suggested that the coordination strength of Mn2+ >Ni2+ >Zn2+ >Pb2+ >Hg2+ >Cd2+.展开更多

The molecular complexes formed by the adsorption of thiophene on silanol H3SiOH with two coordination forms, and the model Brrnsted acid sites of zeolite cluster H3Si（OH）AI（OH）2SiH3 upon the interaction with thiophene have been comparatively studied. Full optimization and frequency analysis of all cluster models have been carried out using the B3LYP hybrid method at 6-31G basis level for hydrogen atoms and 6-31＋G（d） basis set level for silicon, aluminum, oxygen, carbon, and sulfur atoms. The calculated results showed that the nature of interactions leading to the formation of the zeolite cluster-thiophene and silanol-thiophene complexes was associated with the van der Waals force confirmed by a slight change of geometric structures and properties. Thiophene is adsorbed on bridging hydroxyl group prior to silanol OH group judging from the magnitude of adsorption heat. The cluster model calculation reproducing the experimental prediction to form the experimental adsorption spectra of thiophene in HZSM-5 zeolite has illustrated the validity of the proposed adsorption models.展开更多

On strategy is introducing of Mo into the Pt catalyst because it can improve the SOx-tolerance capacity. Based on the aforementioned phenomenon, a density function theory （DFT） study on SOx adsorbed on Pt（111） and PtMo（111） was performed to enhance Pt catalytic activity. The adsorption energy of adsorbed species, the net change, partial density of state （PDOS）, and d-band center were calculated and analyzed comparatively. The results show that the presence of Mo-atom weakens the S-Pt bond strength and reduces the adsorption energies for SO2, S and SO3 on PtMo（111）. Moreover, the Mo atom weakens the effects of SO2 on the PtMo（lll） electronic structure and makes the catalyst maintains its original electronic structure after SO2 adsorption as compared with Pt（111）.展开更多
