We report an extensive density functional theory investigation of water and ethanol adsorption on several Cu-, Pt-, and Au-based substrates including substrates with low-coordinated sites due to intermixing of Pt–Cu and Pt–Au in the topmost surface.

Isolated and full monolayer adsorption of various carboranethiol (C2B10H12S) isomers on the gold(111) surface has been investigated using both the standard and van der Waals density functional theory calculations.

Density Functional Theory (DFT) within the Local Density Approximation (LDA) was employed to calculate the reaction of OF2 with the metal fragment Cr(CO)5. It is demonstrated that OF2 does not show simple ligand behavior but reacts with the transition metal fragment under oxidative addition, leading to a chromium oxo-complex and transforming two cis CO into fluoroformyl ligands. We calculated this reaction to proceed without any major activation barrier and to be exothermic by about 100 kcal/mol. A possible mechanism for this reaction is discussed

In this study, a novel type oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalyst is explored using density functional theory (DFT); the catalyst consists of transition metal M and heteroatom N4 co-doped in vacancy fullerene (M–N4–C64, M = Fe, Co, and Ni).
