The correlation among the structure, chemical bond and stability is discussed. Several models are selected without gold and with gold in different directions and sites. The results show that the models with gold on the edge of kaolinite basal layer are more stable than those with gold above or under the layer, the models with gold near to [AlO2 (OH)(4)] octahedra are more stable than those with gold near to the vacancy without aluminium.

The results show that there is less difference in the ionic bonds between Te( I)-Bi(Sb) and Te(Ⅱ)-Bi(Sb) , but the covalent bond of Te(Ⅰ)-Bi( Sb ) is stronger than that of Te(Ⅱ)-Bi( Sb ) . The interaction between Te(Ⅰ) and Te(Ⅰ) in different layers is the weakest and the interaction should be Van Der Wools power. The charge of Sb is lower than that of Bi, and the ionic bond of Te-Sb is weaker than that of Te-Bi. The covalent bond of Te-Sb is also weaker than that of Te-Bi. Therefore, the thermoelectric property may be imfiroved by adjusting the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity through changing the composition in the compounds of Bi-Sb-Te. The calculated results are consistent with the experiments.展开更多

The mechanism responsible for the moder‐ate activity and enantioselectivity of the β‐cyclodextrin derivatives was explored using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, namely 2D 1H rotating‐frame overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROESY), ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations, which provide a useful technique for investigating the formation of inclusion complexes. The effects of the pH of the reaction medium, theβ‐cyclodextrin derivative dosage, the structure of the modifying amino group, and various substrates on the yield and enantioselectivity were investigated. The results indicated that these factors had an important effect on the enantiomeric excess (ee) in the reaction system. Experiments using a competitor for inclusion complex formation showed that a hydrophobic cavity is necessary for enantioselective Michael addition. A comparison of the reactions using 4‐nitro‐β‐nitrostyrene and 2‐nitro‐β‐nitrostyrene showed that steric hindrance improved the enan‐tioselectivity. This was verified by the optimized geometries obtained from quantum chemical cal‐culations. An ee of 71%was obtained in the asymmetric Michael addition of cyclohexanone and 2‐nitro‐β‐nitrostyrene, using (S)‐2‐aminomethylpyrrolidine‐modified β‐CD as the catalyst, in an aqueous buffer solution, i.e., CH3COONa‐HCl (pH 7.5).展开更多

文摘The molecular magnets Cu(hfac)_(2)L^(R)based on copper(II)and pyrazolyl-substituted nitronyl nitroxide radicals LR exhibit thermally and optically-induced magnetostructural transitions,similar to the spincrossover and light-induced excited spin state trapping phenomena.The mechanism of the gradual change in the magnetic moment in Cu(hfac)_(2)L^(R)remains unclear.Herewith,we report a detailed study of this mechanism at the molecular level based on DDCI and periodic DFT+U calculations.Three representative members of the Cu(hfac)_(2)L^(R)family have been selected,with different substituents(R=Pr,Bu)and solvents(octane,o-xylane,without solvent).Our results indicate that the magnetostructural transition can be related to the coexistence of two limit structures,the low temperature(LT)phase with a strong coupling between the Cu(II)and nitronyl nitroxide spins and the high temperature(HT)phase,where the spins are weakly coupled.In this scenario,the gradual change in the magnetic moment with temperature just reflects the thermally weighted ratio of the two limit LT and HT phases.Our findings support the changes observed in the variable temperature-FTIR spectra of Cu(hfac)_(2)L^(Pr),manifested by the increase/decrease of certain vibrational bands with temperature and suggest a unified mechanism governing the gradual magnetic anomalies of the Cu(hfac)_(2)L^(R)complexes.

文摘Controversies and arguments about the origin of plan-etary water have aroused enthusiasm to search for possible chemical sources.Considering the CO_(2)-rich atmospheres of Mars,Venus,and the prebiotic Earth,we propose that chemical reactions between HOCO^(+)and H_(2)can contribute to the production of H_(2)O on the basis of high-level calculations.As for the reagents,HOCO^(+)can form via the protonation of CO_(2),while H+and H_(2)are from the solar wind or in-terstellar space.Note that one of the reaction path-ways undergoes multiple transition-state complexes and exhibits the roaming-like dynamics feature.More-over,intermolecular proton or hydrogen transfer is a key step in the production of H_(2)O,there-by H-tunneling effect profoundly enhances the reaction rate in a wide range of temperatures or collision energies.

文摘The charge distribution on Ni-Mo-S active sites can affect hydrodenitrogenation(HDN)activity.In this study,a series of model Ni-Mo-S were developed with various charge distributions.For comparison,the charge distribution effects on quinoline HDN were studied.The results show that a lack of electrons and extra protons can both lower the orbital eigenvalue of the Ni-Mo-S,leading to stronger adsorption of nitrogen-containing compounds and inhibition of ammonia desorption.Electron deficiency will improve the generation of active hydrogen on the active sites but inhibit hydrogen transfer to the nitrogen compounds;extra protons can provide H^(+)to the nitrogen compounds,which will flexibly transfer between the nitrogen compound and active sites,thus improving the cleavage of the C-N bond.

文摘In this work,we measure the Raman scattering cross sections(RSCSs) of the carbon-carbon(CC) stretching vibrational modes of canthaxanthin in benzene,acetone,n-heptane,cyclohexane,and m-xylene.It is found that the absolute RSCS of CC stretching mode of canthaxanthin reaches a value of 10 24 cm ^-2 ·molecule ^-1 ·sr ^-1 at 8×10 ^-5 M,which is 6 orders of magnitude larger than general RSCS(10 30 cm 2 ·molecule 1 ·sr 1),and the RSCSs of canthaxanthin in various solvents are very different due to the hydrogen bond.A theoretical interpretation of the magnetic experimental results is given,which is introduced in a qualitative nonlinear model of coherent weakly damped electron-lattice vibration in the structural order of polyene chains.In addition,the optimal structure and the bond length alternation(BLA) parameter of canthaxanthin are calculated using quantum chemistry calculation(at the b3lyp/6-31g(d,p) level of theory).The theoretical calculations are in good agreement with the experimental results.Furthermore,the combination of Raman spectroscopy and the quantum chemistry calculation study would be a quite suitable method of studying the structures and the properties of the π-conjugated systems.

文摘Pyromellitic acid(PMA)and trimellitic acid(TMA)are significant chemical raw materials and intermediates.They simultaneously exist in the industry processes of synthesis and are difficult to be separated.In this work,several kinds of biodegradable compounds were chosen as hydrogen bond acceptors(HBAs)to separate PMA and TMA mixtures from acetone solutions via forming deep eutectic solvent(DES).It has been found that all these compounds can separate PMA and TMA mixtures to obtain pure PMA or TMA.However,the interaction between HBAs and PMA or TMA is quite different.Choline chloride cannot extract TMA but can form a DES with PMA in acetone.Hexamethylenetetramine(HA)and L-carnitine(L-car)can form DESs with both PMA and TMA in acetone solution.But when L-car or HA is added,the extraction rate of PMA is larger than that of TMA until the extraction rate of PMA reach 100%,and pure TMA is left in the acetone solution.The selective separation mechanism was explored by infrared spectroscopy combined with quantum chemistry calculation,and the strength and site of the interaction between extractants with PMA and TMA were calculated.

文摘We measured the photoelectron spectra of Al_(n)C_(4)^(−)(n=2−4)clusters by using size-selected anion photoelectron spectroscopy.The structures of Al_(n)C_(4)^(−/0)(n=2−4)clusters were explored with quantum chemistry calculations and were determined by comparing the theoretical results with the experimental spectra.It is found that the most stable structure of Al_(2)C_(4)^(−) anion is a C_(2v)symmetry planar structure with two Al atoms interacting with two C_(2)units.In addition,Al_(2)C_(4)^(−) anion also has a D∞h symmetry linear structure with two Al atoms located at the two ends of a C_(4)chain,which is slightly higher in energy than the planar structure.The most stable structure of neutral Al_(2)C_(4)has a D∞h symmetry linear structure.The most stable structure of Al_(3)C_(4)^(−) anion is a planar structure with three Al atoms interacting with two C_(2)units.Whereas neutral Al_(3)C_(4)cluster has a C_(2v)symmetric V-shaped bent structure.The global minima structures of both Al_(4)C_(4)^(−) and neutral Al_(4)C_(4)are C_(2)h symmetry planar structures with four Al atoms interacting with the ends of two C_(2)units.Adaptive natural density partitioning analyses of Al_(n)C_(4)^(−)(n=2−4)clusters show that the interactions between the Al atoms and C_(2)units have bothσandπcharacters.

文摘Nineβ‐cyclodextrin derivatives containing an amino group were synthesized via nucleophilic sub‐stitution from mono(6‐O‐p‐tolylsulfonyl)‐β‐cyclodextrin and used in asymmetric biomimetic Mi‐chael addition reactions in water at room temperature. The mechanism responsible for the moder‐ate activity and enantioselectivity of the β‐cyclodextrin derivatives was explored using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, namely 2D 1H rotating‐frame overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROESY), ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations, which provide a useful technique for investigating the formation of inclusion complexes. The effects of the pH of the reaction medium, theβ‐cyclodextrin derivative dosage, the structure of the modifying amino group, and various substrates on the yield and enantioselectivity were investigated. The results indicated that these factors had an important effect on the enantiomeric excess (ee) in the reaction system. Experiments using a competitor for inclusion complex formation showed that a hydrophobic cavity is necessary for enantioselective Michael addition. A comparison of the reactions using 4‐nitro‐β‐nitrostyrene and 2‐nitro‐β‐nitrostyrene showed that steric hindrance improved the enan‐tioselectivity. This was verified by the optimized geometries obtained from quantum chemical cal‐culations. An ee of 71%was obtained in the asymmetric Michael addition of cyclohexanone and 2‐nitro‐β‐nitrostyrene, using (S)‐2‐aminomethylpyrrolidine‐modified β‐CD as the catalyst, in an aqueous buffer solution, i.e., CH3COONa‐HCl (pH 7.5).

文摘A reactive Tb(III) complex with 2-aminobenzoic acid(2-ABAH) and acrylonitrile(AN) as ligands was synthesized.The structure of the complex was characterized by elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry(FT-IR).The results indicated that the ligands were coordinated with Tb(III) ion.Thermal gravity-derivative thermogravimetric(TG-DTG) analysis indicated that the complex kept stable up to 198 oC.Luminescence properties were investigated by UV-vis absorption spectra and fluorescence spectra.The results suggested that being excited at 361 nm,the complex exhibited characteristic emission of Tb(III) ion,revealing that the complex could be excited by 365 nm ultraviolet chip.The HOMO and LUMO,ΔE(HOMO-LUMO),molecular frontier orbital,and the singlet state and triplet energy state levels of the ligands were calculated at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level.The results indicated that intramolecular energy transfer mechanism followed Dexter exchange energy transfer theory.Both the calculation for excited state of ligand and energy transfer mechanism could provide the theoretical basis for the design of high luminescent materials of rare earth complexes with organic ligands.

文摘The chlorine(Cl2)drying technology using ionic liquids(ILs)as absorbents was proposed for the first time and systematically investigated from the molecular level scaled up to the industrial level.The hygroscopic IL[EMIM][CH3SO3]was screened as a suitable absorbent from 238 potential IL candidates consisting of 14 cations and 17 anions,by calculating the Cl2 and H2O solubility and separation selectivity of Cl2 to H2O in different ILs based on the COSMO-RS model.The microscopic atomic and molecular insights into the separation mechanisms were deeply revealed by using COSMO-RS model analyses(i.e.,σ-profiles,σ-potentials,excess enthalpies,entropies,and Gibbs free energies)and quantum chemistry calculation(binding energies and weak interaction analyses).The Cl2 solubility in pure IL and H2O+IL systems were predicted by the COSMO-RS model,and the results agree with the microscopic mechanism identification.Moreover,the strict equilibrium stage model employed with the COSMO-RS model parameters was built to perform the process simulation,and continuous Cl2 drying with ILs was conceptually designed and optimized at industrial scale.It was confirmed that[EMIM][CH3SO3]is a very promising absorbent leading to a less IL amount,a much lower energy consumption than the other IL[EMIM][BF4],which has a very bright industrialization potential used for Cl2 drying technology.

文摘Density function theory and discrete variation method (DFT-DVM) were used to study the adsorption of [Au(AsS 3)] 2- on the surface of kaolinite.The correlation among structure,chemical bond and stability was discussed.Several models were selected with [Au(AsS 3)] 2- in different directions and sites.The results show that the models with gold on the edge of kaolinite basal layer contain pincerlike bond among gold and several oxygen atoms and form strong Au-O covalent bond,so these models are more stable than those with gold above or under the layer.The models with gold near to [AlO 2(OH) 4] octahedra are more stable than those with gold near to the vacancy without aluminium.These two stable tendencies in kaolinite-[Au(AsS 3)] 2- are stronger than that in kaolinite-Au systems.The interaction between [Au(AsS 3)] 2- and kaolinite is stronger than that between gold and kaolinite,and this interaction is strong enough to form the surface complexes.
