To elucidate the ionization dynamics, in particular the vibrational distribution, of H 2 O +(Ã) produced by photoionization and the Penning ionization of H 2 O and D 2 O with He *(2 3S) atoms, Franck–Condon factors (FCFs) were given for the [Formula: see text] ionization, and the transition probabilities were presented for the [Formula: see text] emission. The FCFs were obtained by quantum vibrational calculations using the three-dimensional potential energy surfaces (PESs) of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] electronic states. The global PESs were determined by the multi-reference configuration interaction calculations with the Davidson correction and the interpolant moving least squares method combined with the Shepard interpolation. The obtained FCFs exhibit that the [Formula: see text] state primarily populates the vibrational ground state, as its equilibrium geometry is almost equal to that of [Formula: see text], while the bending mode (ν2) is strongly enhanced for the H 2 O +(Ã) state; the maximums in the population of H 2 O + and D 2 O + are approximately v2 = 11–12 and 15–17, respectively. These results are consistent with the distributions observed by photoelectron spectroscopy. Transition probabilities for the [Formula: see text] system of H 2 O + and D 2 O + show that the bending progressions consist primarily of the [Formula: see text] emission, with combination bands from the (1, v′2 = 4–8, 0) level being next most important.

We report averaged potential energy surfaces for isotopic Ne–CO2 complexes (20 Ne –13 C 16 O 2, 22 Ne –12 C 16 O 2 and 22 Ne –13 C 16 O 2). According to the latest ab initio potential of 20 Ne –12 C 16 O 2 (Chen R, Jiao EQ, Zhu H, Xie DQ, J Chem Phys133:104302, 2010) including the Q3 normal mode for the υ3 antisymmetric stretching vibration of the CO2 molecule. We obtain the averaged potentials for 20 Ne –13 C 16 O 2, 22 Ne –12 C 16 O 2 and 22 Ne –13 C 16 O 2 by the integration of the three-dimensional potential over the Q3 coordinate. The averaged potential surfaces are found to have a T-shaped global minimum and two equivalent linear local minima. The radial DVR/angular FBR method and the Lanczos algorithm are applied to calculate the rovibrational energy levels. Comparison with the available observed values showed an overall excellent agreement for all spectroscopic parameters and the microwave spectra.

This work concerns the typical conformational behaviors for di-substituted cyclohexanes that inherently depend on spatial orientations of side chains in flexible cyclic ring. The 1,3-dimethylcyclohexane and 1,4-dimethylcyclohexane in both cis- and trans-configurations were focused here to unravel their conformational inversion-topomerization mechanisms. Full geometry optimizations were performed at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory to explicitly identify all distinguishable molecular structures, and thus explore potential energy surfaces (PES) of the complete interconversion routes for two stereoisomers of 1,3-dimethylcyclohexane and 1,4-dimethylcyclohexane. Additional quantum calculations were carried out by separately applying MP2/6-311++G(d,p), G4, and CCSD(T)/6-311++G(d,p) methods to further refine all PES’ stationary points. With respect to quantum results, the conformational analysis was conducted to gain insight into the determination, thermodynamic stabilities, and relative energies of distinct molecular geometric structures. On base of highly biased conformational equilibria, the temperature-dependent populations of stable local minima for four studied dimethylcyclohexanes were obtained by utilizing Boltzmann distribution within 300-2500 K. Moreover, two unique interconversion processes for them, including inversion and topomerization, were fully investigated, and their potential energy surfaces were illustrated with the rigorous descriptions in two or three-dimensional schemes for clarify.

Abstract The diverse coordination environments on the surfaces of discrete, three-dimensional (3D) nanoclusters contribute significantly to their unique catalytic properties. Identifying the numerous adsorption sites and diffusion paths on these clusters is however tedious and time-consuming, especially for large, asymmetric nanoclusters. Here, we present a simple, automated method for constructing approximate 2D potential energy surfaces for the adsorption of atomic species on the surfaces of 3D nanoclusters with minimal human intervention. These potential energy surfaces fully characterize the important adsorption sites and diffusion paths on the nanocluster surfaces with accuracies similar to current approaches and at comparable computational cost. Our method can treat complex nanoclusters, such as alloy nanoclusters, and accounts for cluster relaxation and adsorbate-induced reconstruction, important for obtaining accurate energetics. Moreover, its highly parallelizable nature is ideal for modern supercomputer architectures. We showcase our method using two clusters: Au18 and Pt55. For Au18, diffusion of atomic hydrogen between the most stable sites occurs via non-intuitive paths, underlining the necessity of exploring the complete potential energy surface. By enabling the rapid and unbiased assessment of adsorption and diffusion on large, complex nanoclusters, which are particularly difficult to handle manually, our method will help advance materials discovery and the rational design of catalysts.
