The mechanism of methane dissociation on an Rh-decorated Ni(100) surface has been investigated Using density functional theory. The study includes the determination of the most stable adsorbate/adsorbent configurations of the species associated with subsequent reactions and generating the energy surface for 𝐶𝐻4 dissociation process. The Rhdecorated Ni(100) surface was found to be more favorable for the process than the NiRh(111) configuration, mainly due to lower the activation energy of 𝐶𝐻 decomposition reaction by 48.5%, leading to a higher conversion of 𝐶𝐻4 to carbon and hydrogen

Density functional theory (DFT) has been carried out to predict some possible decomposition pathways of polynitrotriprismanes C 6 H 6-n ( NO 2)n (n = 2, 4, 6) at B3LYP/6-31 + G (d, p) level. The calculated results (BDE298) suggest that the most preferred dissociation reaction for these compounds involves an initial rupture of C–C bond in the triprismane cage skeleton, followed by an opening of the second C–C bond of the intermediate to form nitro Dewar benzene, which has a similar reaction pathway as that of octanitrocubane. In addition, the predicted reaction energy shows that the whole decomposition reaction is exothermic, and the rupture of the second C–C bond is mainly the energy origin of these compounds. The predicted dissociation route for three selected PNNPs will be very helpful not only for synthesis of PNNPs, but also for characterization of other nitro-substituted high energy density materials (HEDMs).
