Sf6 Decomposition

Based on the first-principles of density functional theory, the SF6 decomposition products including single molecule (SO2F2, SOF2, SO2), double homogenous molecules (2SO2F2, 2SOF2, 2SO2) and double hetero molecules (SO2 and SOF2, SO2 and SO2F2, SOF2 and SO2F2) adsorbed on Pt doped graphene were discussed. The adsorption parameters, electron transfer, electronic properties and energy gap was investigated. The adsorption of SO2, SOF2 and SO2F2 on the surface of Pt-doped graphene was a strong chemisorption process. The intensity of chemical interactions between the molecule and the Pt-graphene for the above three molecules was SO2F2 > SOF2 > SO2. The change of energy gap was also studied and according to the value of energy gap, the conductivity of Pt-graphene before and after adsorbing different gas molecules can be evaluated.

<div>With the ongoing efforts to obtain mononuclear 3d-transition metal complexes that manifest slow relaxation of magnetization and hence, can behave as single molecule magnets (SMMs), we have modelled 14 novel Fe(III) complexes out of which nine behave as potential SMMs. These complexes possess large zero-field splitting (ZFS)</div><div>parameter D in the range of -40 to -60 cm<sup>-1</sup>. The first-principles investigation of the ground-spin state applying density functional theory (DFT) and wave-function based</div><div>multi-configurations methods e.g. SA-CASSCF/NEVPT2 are found to be quite consistent except for few delicate cases with near degenerate spin-states. In such cases, the</div><div>hybrid B3LYP functional is found to be biased towards high-spin (HS) state. Altering the percentage of exact exchange admixed in B3LYP functional leads to intermediate spin</div><div>(IS) ground state consistent with the multireference calculations. The origin of large zero field splitting (ZFS) in the Fe(III)-based trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) complexes</div><div>is investigated and the D-values are further tuned by varying the axial ligands with group XV elements (N, P and As) and equatorial halide ligands from F, Cl, Br and I. Furthermore, a number of complexes are identified with very small Gibbs free energy values indicating the possible spin-crossover phenomenon between the bi-stable spin-states.</div>

Ferrimagnetic Structure

The geometric and electronic structures of [Mn44+Mn3+3(µ3-L2 -)3(µ3-X -(OAc) - 3(dbm) -3] (L = O, X = F, dbmH = dibenzoyl-methane) molecule has been studied by first-principles calculations. It was shown in our previous paper that the ferrimagnetic structure of Mn$^{4 + }$Mn$^{3 + }_{3}$ molecules is determined by the $\pi $ type hybridization between the $d_{z^2}$ orbitals at the three high-spin Mn$^{3 + }$ ions and the $t_{2g}$ orbitals at the Mn$^{4 + }$ ion by the $p$ orbitals at the $\mu _{3}$-L$^{2 - }$ ions. To design new Mn$^{4 + }$Mn$^{3 + }_{3}$ molecules having much more stable ferrimagnetic state, one approach is suggested. That is controlling the Mn$^{4 + }$-($\mu _{3}$-L$^{2 - })$-Mn$^{3 + }$ exchange pathways by rational variation in $\mu _{3}$-L ligands to strengthen the hybridization between Mn ions. By this ligand variation, $J_{AB}$ can be enhanced by a factor of 3. Our results should facilitate the rational synthesis of new single-molecule magnets.
