We report routes towards synthesis of novel [Formula: see text]-conjugated freebase cobalt, copper, gallium and manganese meso-alkynylcorroles. UV-vis spectra show that extensive peak broadening, red shifts, and changes in the oscillator strength of absorptions increase with the extension of [Formula: see text]-conjugation. Using density functional theory (DFT), we have carried out a first theoretical study of the electronic structure of these metallocorroles. Decreased energy gaps of about 0.3–0.4 eV between the HOMO and LUMO orbitals compared to the corresponding copper, gallium and manganese meso-5,10,15 triphenylcorrole are observed. In all cases, the HOMO energies are nearly unperturbed as the [Formula: see text]-conjugation is expanded. The contraction of the HOMO–LUMO energy gaps is attributed to the lowered LUMO energies.

The electronic structure, mechanical property and thermal expansion of yttrium oxysulfide are calculated from first-principles using the theory of density functional. The calculated cohesive energy indicates its thermodynamic stable nature. From bond structure, the calculated bandgap is obtained as 2.7 eV; and strong covalent bonds exist between Y and O atoms intra 2D [ Y – O ] layer in material, while relatively weak covalent bonds also exist inter 2D [ Y – O ] layer and S atoms. From simulation, it is found that the bulk modulus is about 119.4 GPa for the elastic constants, and the bulk modulus shows weak anisotropy because the surface contours of them are close to a spherical shape. The calculated B/G clearly implies its ductile nature, and the Y 2 O 2 S phase can also be compressed easily. The temperature dependence of thermal expansions is mainly caused by the restoration of thermal energy due to lattice excitations at low temperature. When the temperature is very high, the thermal expansion coefficient increases linearly with temperature increasing. Meanwhile, the heat capacities are also calculated and discussed by thermal expansion and elasticity.

The density functional tight binding method was used to explore the energetics, electronic structure, and vibrational spectra of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) nanoparticles (NPs). The surface energy of the PETN NP is anisotropic and its extra energy decreases with the increase of size. The energy bands of the NPs are significantly expanded and the band gaps are narrowed, thus reducing the stability due to nanometer size effect. The surface of the NP is mainly covered by the NO2 group. The high-energy surface may play a role in triggering chemical decomposition. The vibration frequencies of the PETN NPs present a wider distribution than those of the gas and solid phase PETN, which will increase the probability of energy transfer to the molecules in the system and promote the decomposition of PETN. Our results provide a basic understanding from a molecular perspective to the energy properties of nano explosives.

The first-principles with pseudopotentials method based on the density functional theory was applied to calculate the geometric structure, the formation energy of impurities and the electronic structure of Li-doped ZnO. In the system of Li-doped ZnO, LiZn can not result in lattice distortion. In contrast with that case, LiO and Lii result in lattice distortion after Li doping in ZnO. In Li-doped ZnO, LiO is the most unstable than the other cases. Simultaneously, Lii is more stable than LiZn according to that Lii has smaller formation energy. Furthermore, the electronic structure of Li-doped ZnO indicates that that LiZn behaves as acceptor, while Lii behaves as donor. In conclusion, in Li-doped ZnO, Lii is always in the system to compensate the acceptor. Singly doping Li in ZnO is difficult to gain p-ZnO for the self-compensation. The results are in good agreement with other calculated and experimental results.
