The investigation of surface properties for ceramic materials often focuses on molecular properties, both in terms of model systems and methods. Typically, we use molecular species (i.e. SiO4H4 , H3SiOH) to represent silica surfaces, often resulting in poor prediction of absorption phenomena. Dielectric effects, even when approximated by electrostatic and dipolar interactions, can have significant effects on the charge distribution and surface absorption characteristics of model molecular complexes. In this paper, we report on the effect of the surrounding matrix on the harmonic vibrational frequencies by employing reaction field techniques in electronic structure calculations. Comparisons of molecular-based to reaction field affected properties will be made to illustrate the extensions of the molecular to the extended network domain.

Through insights from first-principles calculations, we predict defect-laden h-BN, particularly with N vacancy, to have good propensity toward CO and CO2 hydrogenation. Vibrational frequencies of CO and CO2 are proposed as identifiers of defect type.
