The calculation results show that in Na2[Arx*GaGaArx*], the Ga-Ga interaction is a non-classical triple bond, the heart of Na2[Arx*GaGaArx*] is the Ga2Na2 cluster rather than a simple Ga-Ga bond, and the contribution of the sodium atoms to the short Ga-Ga bond length is considerable. As the two sodium atoms are substituted by two hydrogen atoms, the Ga-Ga bond is replaced by two 3-center, 2-electron (3c-2e) Ga-H-Ga covalent bridged bonding.展开更多

The energy level order of cerium was calculated and the potential energy profile was plotted. The properties of the bonds of all special structures in the reaction path were analyzed using the method of the electron localization function (ELF). The results indicate that the final reaction pathway can be expressed as Ce+O2→ FC→TS→IM→O-Ce-O, and the formation of Ce2O3 has not been found. In addition, the ELF diagram of the final product CeO2 shows that Ce bonds with both O atoms and the bond angles increase significantly.展开更多
