Charge population, charge density difference, the orbitals and densities of states (DOS) were calculated to study the electronic properties of the contacting interfacial atoms. Based on the calculation, the amount of contact charge was obtained. The investigation revealed that the electrons near Fermi levels with higher energies transfer between the outermost orbitals (s orbitals for Ag and d orbitals for Fe). Meanwhile, polarized covalent bonds form between the d electrons in the deep energy states. These two effects together lead to an increase of charge magnitude at the interface. Also, the electrons responsible for electrification can be determined by their energies and orbitals.展开更多

These catatysts were characterized by IR spectra and XPS methods. The XPS investigation indicated that the-electron transfer from Fe atom in Fe2O3 to Pd, enhanced the hy-drogenation activity of the catalysts,and Bi2O3 drew electrons from Pd, leading to the lowering of the hydrogenation rate. When Pd/Bi atom ratio = 1, the hydrogenation was inhibited entirely. The IR spectra of resin 1)3520 showed no significant changes when Pd and the metallic oxides were supported on the polymer particles. That indicates that there are no obvious inter-actions between Pd (or metallic oxides) and supporter. Finally , a possible hydrogenation mechanism ,was also supposed.展开更多

In order to study the Fe-Cu interactions and their effects on 31p NMR, the structures of mononuclear complex Fe(CO)3fPhzPpy)a 1 and binuclear complexes Fe(CO)3(PhEPpy)z(CuXn) (2: Xn = Cl2^2-, 3: Xn = Cl-, ...In order to study the Fe-Cu interactions and their effects on 31p NMR, the structures of mononuclear complex Fe(CO)3fPhzPpy)a 1 and binuclear complexes Fe(CO)3(PhEPpy)z(CuXn) (2: Xn = Cl2^2-, 3: Xn = Cl-, 4: Xn = Br-) are calculated by density functional theory (DFT) PBE0 method. For complexes 1, 3 and 4, the 31p NMR chemical shifts calculated by PBE0-GIAO method are in good agreement with experimental results. The 31p chemical shift is 82.10 ppm in the designed complex 2. The Fe-Cu interactions (including Fe→Cu and Fe←Cu charge transfer) mainly exhibit the indirect interactions. Moreover, the Fe-Cu(I) interactions (mostly acting as σFe-p→4Scu and aFe-C→4Scu charge transfer) in complexes 3 and 4 are stronger than Fe-Cu(Ⅱ) interactions (mostly acting as σFe-p→4Scu and σFe-p←4Sc,) in complex 2. In complex 2, the stronger Fe←Cu interac- tions, acting as σFe-p←44SCu charge transfer, increase the electron density on P nucleus, which causes the upfield 31p chemical shift compared with mononuclear complex 1. For 3 and 4, although a little deshielding for P nucleus is derived from the delocalization of σFe-p→4Scu due to the Fe→Cu interactions, the stronger σFe-c→np charge-transfer finally increases the electron density on P nucleus. As a result, an upfield 31p chemical shift is observed compared with 1. The stability follows the order of 2〉3=4, indicating that Fe(CO)3(PhzPpy)2(CuCl2) is stable and could be synthesized experimentally. The N-Cu(Ⅱ) interaction plays an important role in the stability of 2. Because the delocalization of σFe-p→4SCu and σFe-c→πc-o weakens the a bonds of Fe-C and ~r bonds of CO, it is favorable for increasing the catalytic activity of binuclear complexes. Complexes 3 and 4 are expected to show higher catalytic activity compared to 2.展开更多

This paper proposes a field-circuit coupling method to analyze the PIM level of mesh reflectors. With the existence of many metal–metal(MM) contacts in mesh reflectors, the contact nonlinearity becomes the main reason for PIM generation. To analyze these potential PIM sources, an equivalent circuit model including nonlinear components is constructed to model a single MM contact so that the transient current through the MM contact point induced by incident electromagnetic waves can be calculated. Taking the electric current as a new electromagnetic wave source, the far-field scattering can be obtained by the use of electromagnetic numerical methods or the communication link method. Finally, a comparison between simulation and experimental results is illustrated to verify the validity of the proposed method.展开更多

The XPS investigation indicated that the-electron transfer from Fe atom in Fe2O3 to Pd, enhanced the hy-drogenation activity of the catalysts,and Bi2O3 drew electrons from Pd, leading to the lowering of the hydrogenation rate. When Pd/Bi atom ratio = 1, the hydrogenation was inhibited entirely. The IR spectra of resin 1)3520 showed no significant changes when Pd and the metallic oxides were supported on the polymer particles. That indicates that there are no obvious inter-actions between Pd (or metallic oxides) and supporter. Finally , a possible hydrogenation mechanism ,was also supposed.

文摘In order to study the Fe-Cu interactions and their effects on 31p NMR, the structures of mononuclear complex Fe(CO)3fPhzPpy)a 1 and binuclear complexes Fe(CO)3(PhEPpy)z(CuXn) (2: Xn = Cl2^2-, 3: Xn = Cl-, 4: Xn = Br-) are calculated by density functional theory (DFT) PBE0 method. For complexes 1, 3 and 4, the 31p NMR chemical shifts calculated by PBE0-GIAO method are in good agreement with experimental results. The 31p chemical shift is 82.10 ppm in the designed complex 2. The Fe-Cu interactions (including Fe→Cu and Fe←Cu charge transfer) mainly exhibit the indirect interactions. Moreover, the Fe-Cu(I) interactions (mostly acting as σFe-p→4Scu and aFe-C→4Scu charge transfer) in complexes 3 and 4 are stronger than Fe-Cu(Ⅱ) interactions (mostly acting as σFe-p→4Scu and σFe-p←4Sc,) in complex 2. In complex 2, the stronger Fe←Cu interac- tions, acting as σFe-p←44SCu charge transfer, increase the electron density on P nucleus, which causes the upfield 31p chemical shift compared with mononuclear complex 1. For 3 and 4, although a little deshielding for P nucleus is derived from the delocalization of σFe-p→4Scu due to the Fe→Cu interactions, the stronger σFe-c→np charge-transfer finally increases the electron density on P nucleus. As a result, an upfield 31p chemical shift is observed compared with 1. The stability follows the order of 2〉3=4, indicating that Fe(CO)3(PhzPpy)2(CuCl2) is stable and could be synthesized experimentally. The N-Cu(Ⅱ) interaction plays an important role in the stability of 2. Because the delocalization of σFe-p→4SCu and σFe-c→πc-o weakens the a bonds of Fe-C and ~r bonds of CO, it is favorable for increasing the catalytic activity of binuclear complexes. Complexes 3 and 4 are expected to show higher catalytic activity compared to 2.

This paper proposes a field-circuit coupling method to analyze the PIM level of mesh reflectors. With the existence of many metal–metal(MM) contacts in mesh reflectors, the contact nonlinearity becomes the main reason for PIM generation. To analyze these potential PIM sources, an equivalent circuit model including nonlinear components is constructed to model a single MM contact so that the transient current through the MM contact point induced by incident electromagnetic waves can be calculated. Taking the electric current as a new electromagnetic wave source, the far-field scattering can be obtained by the use of electromagnetic numerical methods or the communication link method. Finally, a comparison between simulation and experimental results is illustrated to verify the validity of the proposed method.
文摘The complexes [Pt2L2(μ-dppm)](ClO4)2 (1) and {[Pt2L2(μ-dppm)Li(CH3CN)2](ClO4)3}n (2), where HL is 6-[4-(diethoxyphosphorylmethyl)phenyl]-2,2′-bipyridinyl and dppm is bis(diphenylphosphino)methane, have been synthesized and characterized. In complex 1 the platinum(Ⅱ) center adopts a distorted square planar coordination geometry. The polymer 2 exhibits a "stairstep" configuration with one-dimensional Pt(Ⅱ)N^N^CPO- Li(Ⅰ)-OPC^N^ NPt(Ⅱ) mixed-metal units which are linked through dppm. Both complexes have metal-metal interaction with Pt- Pt distances of 3.325(2) and 3.1432(9) A, respectively, and display strong metal-metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MMLCT) triplet state emission. The density-functional-theory calculation was used to interpret the absorption spectra of the complexes.

文摘Molecular engineering has emerged as a highly interdisciplinary field of study on function-directed molecular design,material synthesis,and property optimization,accompanied by a deep understanding of the structure-property relationship.In this review,our recent progress on the design and preparations of photofunctional metal complexes and related materials is summarized from the perspective of coordination molecular engineering.In particular,a series of cyclometalated diruthenium complexes with near-infrared(NIR)electrochromic property have been synthesized by engineering the bridging ligand structures.A group of ruthenium-amine conjugated complexes with multistage NIR electrochromism are obtained on the basis of a multicenter strategy.By engineering the ligand structures,a series of new ruthenium and platinum complexes are synthesized to show switchable luminescence in response to various stimuli.In addition,photoluminescent ruthenium,iridium,and platinum complexes are assembled to afford micro/nanocrystals with well-defined morphology and luminescent properties.

文摘Two host-guest systems have been constructed,by employing structurally similar terpyridine platinum(II)macrocycle and molecular tweezer as the synthetic receptors.The macrocycle/guest complex displays low-energy emission signal,reinforced non-covalent binding affinity,and enhanced photosensitization capability than those of the molecular tweezer/guest one.The discrepancy between macrocyclic and acyclic preorganization modes originates from the different numbers of Pt(II)Pt(II)metal-metal bonds in host-guest complexation structures.
