碱土金属Ben (n=1~3)对B12团簇结构的调控研究

基于第一性原理, 系统地研究了Be_n (n=1~3)对B₁₂团簇结构的调控. 结果表明: 团簇BeB₁₂全局极小结构为C_s对称性准平面结构, 而Be₂B₁₂和Be₃B₁₂最稳定的结构均为笼状结构, 对称性分别为C_s和C_2v. 随着Be_n (n=1~3)原子数的增加, 团簇B₁₂由准平面结构过渡到笼状结构, 且Be倾向内嵌在B₁₂笼状结构表面的B₇或B₈单元环中, 通过离子和共价作用形成稳定Be&B₇和Be&B₈单元, 从而稳定笼状结构. 自然键轨道(NBO)分析表明, 团簇C_s BeB₁₂, C_s Be₂B₁₂, C_2v Be₃B₁₂内部存在电子转移情况, Be原子2s轨道上失去电子, Be—B键主要以离子作用为主, 同时也存在共价作用. 成键分析显示C_s Be₂B₁₂和C_2v Be₃B₁₂的π键遵循球状芳香性2(n+1)² (n=1)电子计数规则, 表明该团簇具有球状芳香性. 预测了三个结构的红外和拉曼光谱, 为以后的合成实验和数据表征提供了理论基础.

Gamma Ray Radiation Effect on \begin{document}$\rm{{Bi}}_{2}$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{{O}}_{6}$\end{document} Photocatalyst

The development of \begin{document}$\rm{Bi}_2$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{O}_6$\end{document}-based materials has become one of research hotspots due to the increasing demands on high-efficient photocatalyst responding to visible light. In this work, the effect of high energy radiation (\begin{document}$\gamma$\end{document}-ray) on the structure and the photocatalytic activity of \begin{document}$\rm{Bi}_2$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{O}_6$\end{document} nanocrystals was first studied. No morphological change of \begin{document}$\rm{Bi}_2$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{O}_6$\end{document} nanocrystals was observed by SEM under \begin{document}$\gamma$\end{document}-ray radiation. However, the XRD spectra of the irradiated \begin{document}$\rm{Bi}_2$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{O}_6$\end{document} nanocrystals showed the characteristic 2\begin{document}$\theta$\end{document} of (113) plane shifts slightly from 28.37\begin{document}$^{\rm{o}}$\end{document} to 28.45\begin{document}$^{\rm{o}}$\end{document} with the increase of the absorbed dose, confirming the change in the crystal structure of \begin{document}$\rm{Bi}_2$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{O}_6$\end{document}. The XPS results proved the crystal structure change was originated from the generation of oxygen vacancy defects under high-dose radiation. The photocatalytic activity of \begin{document}$\rm{Bi}_2$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{O}_6$\end{document} on the decomposition of methylene blue (MB) in water under visible light increases gradually with the increase of absorbed dose. Moreover, the improved photocatalytic performance of the irradiated \begin{document}$\rm{Bi}_2$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{O}_6$\end{document} nanocrystals remained after three cycles of photocatalysis, indicating a good stability of the created oxygen vacancy defects. This work gives a new simple way to improve photocatalytic performance of \begin{document}$\rm{Bi}_2$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{O}_6$\end{document} through creating oxygen vacancy defects in the crystal structure by \begin{document}$\gamma$\end{document}-ray radiation.     

Electrochemical Study on Hydrogen Evolution and \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}$\end{document}\begin{document}$_\rm{2}$\end{document} Reduction on Pt Electrode in Acid Solutions with Different pH

Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is the major cathodic reaction which competes \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{2}$\end{document} reduction reaction (\begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{2}$\end{document} RR) on Pt electrode. Molecular level understanding on how these two reactions interact with each other and what the key factors are of \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{2}$\end{document} RR kinetics and selectivity will be of great help in optimizing electrolysers for \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{2}$\end{document} reduction. In this work, we report our results of hydrogen evolution and \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{2}$\end{document} reduction on Pt(111) and Pt film electrodes in \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{2}$\end{document} saturated acid solution by cyclic voltammetry and infrared spectroscopy. In solution with pH > 2, the major process is HER and the interfacial pH increases abruptly during HER; \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{ad}$\end{document} is the only adsorbed intermediate detected in \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{2}$\end{document} reduction by infrared spectroscopy; the rate for \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{ad}$\end{document} formation increases with the coverage of UPD-H and reaches maximum at the onset potential for HER; the decrease of \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{ad}$\end{document} formation under HER is attributed to the available limited sites and the limited residence time for the reduction intermediate (\begin{document}$\rm{H}_\rm{ad}$\end{document}), which is necessary for \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{2}$\end{document} adsorption and reduction.     

Hydrogen Generation from Water Splitting by Catalysts of Platinum-Based Clusters Pt3X (X=Al,Si, Cu) and CO Oxidation by Their By-Products

Reducing sizes of precious metals and utilization of the mixed small clusters of them as catalysts in reactions are important methods due to more active sites for higher catalytic efficiency. Based on first-principles calculations in this work, we found that the platinum-based clusters of Pt\begin{document}$ _3 $\end{document}X (X = Al, Si, Cu) which have the magic number 4 can effectively catalyze the water decomposition and hydrogen production in just one-step reaction process. The adsorbates of the H\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document}O@Pt\begin{document}$ _3 $\end{document}X clusters have strong absorption in the ultraviolet and visible regions with wavelength from 300 nm to 760 nm, indicating the sunlight can be used to drive catalytic hydrolysis for producing clean hydrogen. In addition, the O atom remains on the clusters after hydrolysis and can react with CO to form CO\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document} in activation barrier of 0.34\begin{document}$ - $\end{document}0.58 eV, showing the recycling ability of the products after hydrolysis for eliminating the "poisoning'' CO by oxidation. Moreover, the formed CO\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document} molecule can be detached from the Pt\begin{document}$ _3 $\end{document}X clusters at 323 K. Our results provide interesting guidance for practical designing the useful photocatalysts.     

Theoretical Study of Hydrogen-Bond Interactions of CO\begin{document}$ _\textbf{2} $\end{document} in Organic Absorbent 1, 3-Diphenylguanidine

Carbon capture and storage technology have been rapidly developed to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document}) emission into the environment. It has been found that the amine-based organic molecules could absorb CO\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document} efficiently and form the bicarbonate salts through hydrogen-bond (H-bond) interactions. Recently, the aqueous 1, 3-diphenylguanidine (DPG) solution was developed to trap and convert CO\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document} to valuable chemicals under ambient conditions. However, how the DPG molecules interact with CO\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document} in an aqueous solution remains unclear. In this work, we perform molecular dynamics simulations to explore the atomistic details of CO\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document} in the aqueous DPG. The simulated results reveal that the protonated DPGH\begin{document}$ ^+ $\end{document} and the bicarbonate anions prefer to form complexes through different H-bond patterns. These double H-bonds are quite stable in thermodynamics, as indicated from the accurate density functional theory calculations. This study is helpful to understand the catalytic mechanism of CO\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document} conversion in the aqueous DPG.     

Delocalized \begin{document}$\pi_3^6$\end{document} Bond in OX\begin{document}$_2$\end{document} (X=Halogen) Molecules

OX\begin{document}$_2$\end{document} (X=halogen) molecules was studied theoretically. Calculation results show that delocalized \begin{document}$\pi_3^6$\end{document} bonds exist in their electronic structures and O atoms adopt the sp\begin{document}$^2$\end{document} type of hybridization, which violates the prediction of the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory of sp\begin{document}$^3$\end{document} type. Delocalization stabilization energy is proposed to measure the contribution of delocalized \begin{document}$\pi_3^6$\end{document} bond to energy decrease and proves to bring extra-stability to the molecule. These phenomena can be summarized as a kind of coordinating effect.     

Mass spectrometry of transition-metal π-complexes. III—a study of an iron-coordinated tautomer of phenol

A study of the fragmentation of the \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \left[{\left({{\rm C}_{\rm 6} {\rm H}_{\rm 6} {\rm O}} \right){\rm Fe}} \right]_{}^{_.^ + } $\end{document} ion formed from two different precursors suggests that the ions adopt different structures over that part of the energy distribution giving rise to decomposition in the ion source.     

Facile Green Synthesis of Magnetic Fe3C@C Nanocomposite using Natural Magnetite

One simple and environmental friendly synthesis strategy for preparing low-cost magnetic Fe\begin{document}$ _3 $\end{document}C@C materials has been facilely developed using a modified sol-gel approach, wherein natural magnetite acted as the iron source. A chelating polycarboxylic acid such as citric acid (CA) was employed as the carbon source, and it dissolved Fe very effectively, Fe\begin{document}$ _3 $\end{document}O\begin{document}$ _4 $\end{document} and natural magnetite to composite an iron-citrate complex with the assistance of ammonium hydroxide. The core-shell structure of the as-prepared nanocomposites was formed directly by high-temperature pyrolysis. The Fe\begin{document}$ _3 $\end{document}C@C materials exhibited superparamagnetic properties (38.09 emu/mg), suggesting potential applications in biomedicine, environment, absorption, catalysis, etc.     

Renewable \begin{document}$p$\end{document}-Xylene Production by Co-catalytic Pyrolysis of Cellulose and Methanol

This work developed a one-step process for renewable p-xylene production by co-catalytic fast pyrolysis (co-CFP) of cellulose and methanol over the different metal oxides modified ZSM5 catalysts. It has been proven that \begin{document}${\rm{L}}{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{3}}}$\end{document}-modified ZSM5(80) catalyst was an effective one for the production of bio-based p-xylene. The selectivity and yield of p-xylene strongly depended on the acidity of the catalysts, reaction temperature, and methanol content. The highest p-xylene yield of 14.5 C-mol% with a p-xylene/xylenes ratio of 86.8% was obtained by the co-CFP of cellulose with 33wt% methanol over 20%\begin{document}${\rm{L}}{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{3}}}$\end{document}-ZSM5(80) catalyst. The deactivation of the catalysts during the catalytic pyrolysis process was investigated in detail. The reaction pathway for the formation of p-xylene from cellulose was proposed based on the analysis of products and the characterization of catalysts.     

Density functional theoretical study of A series of pentazolide compounds \hbox{A}_{\it n}(\hbox{N}_5)_{\rm 6-{\it n}}^{\it q} (A = B, Al, Si, P, and S; n = 1–3; q = +1, 0, −1, −2, and −3)

The structure and the stability of pentazolide compounds $\hbox{A}_{\it n}(\hbox{N}_5)_{\rm 6-{\it n}}^{\it q}$ (A = B, Al, Si, P, and S; n= 1–3; q = +1, 0, ?1, ?2, and ?3), as high energy-density materials (HEDMs), have been investigated at the B3LYP/6-311+G* level of theory. The natural bond orbital analysis shows that the charge transfer plays an important role when the $\hbox{A}_{\it n}(\hbox{N}_5)_{\rm 6-{\it n}}^{\it q}$ species are decomposed to $\hbox{A}_{\it n}(\hbox{N}_5)_{\rm 5-{\it n}}\hbox{N}_3^{\it q}$ and N₂. The more negative charges are transferred from the N₂ molecule after breaking the N₅ ring, the more stable the systems are with respect to the decomposition. Moreover, the conclusion can be drawn that ${\hbox{Al}(\hbox{N}_5)_5^{2-}}$ and ${\hbox{Al}_2(\hbox{N}_5)_4^{2-}}$ are predicted to be suitable as potential HEDMs.
