Both uniaxial and biaxial strain are applied, and the dramatic change of BP＇s band structure is observed. Under 0-8% uniaxial strain, the band gap can be modulated in the range of 0.55-1.06 eV, and a direct-indirect band gap transition causes strain over 4% in the y direction. Under 0-8% biaxial strain, the band gap can be modulated in the range of 0.35-1.09 eV, and the band gap maintains directly.Applying strain to BP nanoribbon, the band gap value reduces or enlarges markedly either zigzag nanoribbon or armchair nanoribbon. Analyzing the orbital composition and using a tight-binding model we ascribe this band gap behavior to the competition between effects of different bond lengths on band gap. These results would enhance our understanding on strain effects on properties of BP and phosphorene nanoribbon.展开更多

On silicon substrate, PCl3 firstly undergoes dissociative adsorption, and then the adsorption product reacts with H2 via a four-step multi-channel mode to give the final product PSi4 cluster. The geometries at each stationary point were fully optimized. The possible transition states were determined by vibrational mode analysis and IRC verification.

In the cross-coupling reaction of iodobenzene with phenylacetylene without co-catalysts and bases involved, mechanistically plausible catalytic cycles have been computationally identified. These catalytic cycles typically occur in three stages： 1） oxidative addition of an iodobenzene to the Pd（0） atom, 2） reaction of the product of oxidative addition with phenylacetylene to generate an intermediate with the Csp bound to palladium, and 3） reductive elimination to couple the phenyl group with the phenylethynyl group and to regenerate the Pd（0） atom. The calculations show that the first stage gives rise to a two-coordinate palladium （Ⅱ） intermediate （ArPdI）. Starting from this intermediate, the second oxidative stage, in which the C–H bond of acetylene adds to Pd（Ⅱ） without co-catalyst involved, is called alkynylation instead of transmetalation and proceeds in two steps. Stage 3 of reductive elimination of diphenylacetylene is energetically favorable. The results demonstrate that stage 2 requires the highest activation energy in the whole catalysis cycle and is the most difficult to happen, where co-catalysts help to carry out Sonogashira coupling reaction smoothly.展开更多

The calculations confirmed that the most structures in substitutional model consist of a two-coordinate bridge structure and a three-coordinate hollow structure. The calculated results can well explain the red shift in N-doped TiO2 observed in experiments. The study provides an illustration for the N-doped anatase from the viewpoint of chemical bonding theory.展开更多

These compounds were characterized by elemental and thermal analyses, IR, 1HNMR and 13CNMR spectroscopies, single crystal X-ray diffraction and DFT studies. The Zn centers in 1 and 2 adopt pseudo-tetrahedral coordination geometries. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system P2/c space group whereas compound 2 crystallizes in the P-1 space group of the triclinic crystal system. Several types of hydrogen intra-/intermolecular interactions are observed in these materials and extend into a two-dimensional leaf like network in 1 and a two-dimensional lattice of rectilinear pillars in 2. Compounds 1 and 2 were also optimized and their frontier molecular orbitals, global reactivity descriptors, molecular electrostatic potential, natural bond orbitals were investigated using density functional theory (DFT). In fact the induced structural differences from complex 1 to complex 2 led to the reduction of the frontier molecular orbital energy gap by 1.338 eV and a decrease of the chemical hardness by 0.669 eV.展开更多

The structures of complexes 1 and 2 are similar. In 1, the adjacent Mn(Ⅱ) ions are connected by epda dianion to generate a 2 D(4,4) grid layer, and such 2 D layers are further connected via bibp ligand to form another layer, forming a 2 D pillared-layer. Topologically, the Mn atoms as the node are bridged by the edpa anions and bibp ligands to form a uninodal 5-connected network topology. The magnetic properties of 1 and 2 have also been-investigated, and the exchange interctions were –1.39 and –1.05 cm1, respectively. According to the crystal structures, compounds 1 and 2 were carried out by using hybrid DFT methods at the B3 LYP/6-31 G(d) level. The DFT-BS approach was applied to study the magnetic coupling behaviors for 1 and 2. The result reveals that the calculated exchange coupling constants J were in good agreement with the experimental data.展开更多
