Theoretical Study on Dissociation Potential Energy Surface of Peroxynitric Acid

The lowest energy structures of peroxynitric acid have been studied with B3LYP/6-311＋ G（2d,2p） method. The potential energy surfaces （PES） along the O-N and O-O bonds have been scanned at CCSD（T）/aug-cc-pVDZ level, respectively. The calculated results show that on the O-N PES, the O3-N4 bond length of the loose transition state is 2.82A^° and the corresponding energy barrier is 25.6 kcal/mol, while on the O-O PES, the loose transition state with of O2-O3 bond length of 2.35A^° has the energy barrier of 37.4 kcal/mol. Thus the primary reaction path for peroxynitric acid is the dissociation into HO2 and NO2.

Theoretical Study on Raman Spectra of Aqueous Peroxynitric Acid

Using density functional theory and polarizable continuum models, we study the Raman spectra of aqueous peroxynitric acid. The calculated results indicate that the solvent effect has significant influence on the electric dipole transition moments between the ground and excited electronic state and Raman polarizabilities. The theoretical Raman spectra agree well with the experimental results. From the experimental depolarization ratio, we can conclude that peroxynitric acid is not a plane molecule. We also find that the hydrogen bond can enhance IR intensity of hydroxyl group by several times.

Theoretical Calculation Model of Heat Transfer for Deep-derived Supercritical Fluids with a Case Study

Based on a set of equations established by Duan et al. (1992, 1996) for a geofluid system H2O-CO2-CH4(-N2), a formula is obtained to calculate the heat changes. Combining the geological T-P conditions (geothermal gradients and lithostatic and hydrostatic pressures), the enthalpy of some typical geofluids is figured out. Then the principles of heat transfer of deep-derived supercritical fluids are discussed. The result shows that deep-derived geofluids can bring a large amount of thermal heat and release most heat to the shallow surroundings as they move up, because the molar enthalpies vary very greatly from the deep to shallow, increasing with the increases of T and P. Generally, more than tens of kilojoules heat per molar can be released. Furthermore, the molar enthalpy is affected by the compositions of the geofluids, and the molar enthalpy of CO2, CH4, or N2 is greater than that of H2O, being twice, more than twice, and about 140% of H2O, respectively. Finally, a case study is conducted by investigating a source rock sequence affected hydrothermally by magmatic fluids in the Huimin depression of Shengli Oilfield. The thermal heat calculated theoretically of the fluids related to a diabase intrusion is quite large, which can increase the temperature near the diabase to about 300℃, and that can, to some extent, account for the abnormal rise of the vitrinite reflectance, with the highest of about 3.8% (Ro).

Theoretical study on the ideal open cycle of the liquid nitrogen engine

This article described the characteristics of the liquid nitrogen engine's ideal open cycle.Using two interconnecting strokes to achieve the power output can mitigate the trade-off between high efficiency and the potential mechanical complexity of multiple-cylinder engines. The total specific energy of the binary media (methane-nitrogen) cycle system could be much higher than the unitary medium (liquid nitrogen) cycle system. By theoretical analysis, the reasonably acceptable driving range proved the feasibility of the liquid nitrogen engine used for supplying power for a lightweight car.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Theoretical Studies of (E)-1-((9-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl)-9H-carbazol-3-yl)methylene)thiosemicarbazide

A novel thiosemicarbazide derivative, （E）-1-（9-（2-（2-methoxyethoxy）ethyl）-9H-carbazol-3-yl） methylene）-thiosemicarbazide （CMT）, was synthesized and structurally characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, EI-MS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 14.769（5）, b = 8.279（5）, c = 17.166（5） , β = 114.391（5）°, V = 1911.6（14） 3, Z = 4, F（000） = 784, Dc = 1.287 g/m3, Mr = 370.47, μ = 0.190 mm-1, the final R = 0.0390 and wR = 0.1358 for 1446 observed reflections with Ⅰ 〉 2σ（Ⅰ）. The UV-vis absorption spectra of CMT were explained based on quantum chemical calculations, using time dependent density functional theory （TD-DFT） at the B3LYP/6-31G （d） level.

Theoretical Study on the Activity of a-COOH and b-COOH of N-Phosphoryl Aspartic Acids

The bio-mimic reactions of N-phosphoryl amino acids are very important in the study of many biochemical processes. The difference of reactivity between a-COOH and b-COOH in phosphoryl aspartic acid was studied by theoretical study (Hartree-Fock and Density Functional methods) in this paper. The intermediates II containing five-membered ring were more stable than III with six-membered ring. While for intermediates III, the isomers with six-membered ring in apical-equatorial spanning arrangement were more stable than those with di-equatorial spanning arrangement. At B3LYP/6-31G** level, it was shown that transition states IV and V involving a-COOH or b-COOH group had energy barriers of DE = 58.67 kJmol-1 and 103.94 kJmol-1, respectively. These results were in agreement with the experimental data. So the a-COOH group was involved in form of the intramolecular penta-coordinate phosphoric-carboxylic mixed anhydride intermediates, but not b-COOH group.

Theoretical Study on the Reaction of PCl_3/H_2 on Silicon Substrate Surface

The reaction mechanism of PCl3/H2 on silicon substrate surface （simulated by Si4 cluster） was investigated with Density Functional Theory （DFT） at the B3LYP/6-311G^＊＊ level. 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. And finally, the main reaction channel was given.

Structures and Properties of Two Pb^Ⅱ Compounds and Theoretical Study of 2,4-Oxybis（benzoic acid）

Two Pb^Ⅱ coordination polymers [Pb（oba）（2,2′-bipy）]·1.5H2O（1） and [Pb（oba）（phen）]（2）（H2oba = 2,4-oxybis（benzoic acid）, 2,2′-bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline） were synthesized by hydrothermal reactions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analyses, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Structures of compounds 1 and 2 are similar. Compounds 1 and 2 show 1D wavy chains, which are further connected through aromatic π-π stacking interactions to expand into 2D wavelike networks. The crystal structure of 2,4-oxybis（benzoic acid） ligand（3） was obtained, and its full geometry optimization was carried out by using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G（d） level. The calculated data show that the bond distances and bond angles were very close to the experimental data. The values of the frontier orbital energies indicate that this configuration is stable. Moreover, the solid-state fluorescence properties of 1-3 have also been investigated.

Theoretical Study on the Pyrolysis Mechanism and Kinetics of 3-Hydroxy-3-Methyl-2-Butanone

The mechanism and kinetics for the decomposition of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butanone have been studied by using the ab initio RHF/3-21G method. The calculated activation barrier of the reaction is 249.6kJ/mol which is in reasonable agreement with the experimental data (222.2±3kJ/mol). The calculated results show that the decomposition is a concerted process with hydrogen transferring and bond breaking via a five-membered cyclic transition state. The thermal rate constants of the decomposition are obtained by calculating microcanonical probability fluxes through transition state1.

Theoretical Study on the Gas Phase Reaction of Au^+ with CS_2

The reaction of Au＋（1S,3D） with CS2 has been investigated at the B3LYP and CCSD（T） levels of theory.The identified reaction pathways revealed that the experimentally observed products,AuS＋ and AuCS＋,can be produced by the insertion of Au＋ into C-S bond.The calculated energetics shows that the reactions on singlet surface lead to excited-state products,AuS＋（1Σ） ＋ 1CS and AuCS＋（1Σ） ＋ 1S,and have notable energy barriers,whereas the reactions on triplet surface producing the ground state products of AuS＋（3Σ） ＋ 1CS and AuCS＋（1Σ） ＋ 3S are energetically much more favorable.This result suggests that the minor formations of AuS＋ and AuCS＋ observed in the previous experiment under room-temperature condition should result from the reactions of excited-state Au＋（3D） with CS2.Further,the possibility for singlet-triplet surface crossing was also discussed by approximately determining the crossing region.

Theoretical Study on the Reaction Mechanism between Dichlorocarbene and Armchair Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes

The reaction mechanism between CC12 and armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes （ASWCNTs） （3,3） and （4,4） has been studied by semiempirical AM1 and ab initio methods. The activation barriers of CC12 adding to ASWCNT （3,3） and （4,4） are computed and compared. The lower barrier of CC12 forms cycloaddition isomer on （3,3） maybe because the strain energy of （3,3） is larger than that of （4,4）. Our theoretical results are consistent with the experimental results.

Six fully optimized structures of the aza-calix[2]arene[2]-triazines/RDX supramo-lecular complexes have been obtained at the DFT-B3LYP/6-311＋＋G＊＊ level,and the corresponding intermolecular interactions have been investigated using the B3LYP,mPWPW91 and MP2 methods at the 6-311＋＋G＊＊ level,respectively.The natural bond orbital（NBO） and atoms in molecules（AIM） analyses have been performed to reveal the origin of interactions.To our interest,the result indicates that the strongest interaction is up to-22.34 kJ/mol after basis set superposition error（BSSE） and zero point energy（ZPE） correction at the MP2/6-311＋＋G＊＊ level.Furthermore,the intermolecular interactions between aza-calix[2]arene[2]-triazines with the substituted amidos and RDX are stronger than those of other complexes.Thus,the complexes with amidos can be used as the candidates to increase the stability of explosive and eliminate the explosive wastewater.
