The biomass-derived furfural adsorption and decarbonylation to furan over H-ZSM-5 (see picture) have been unraveled by means of density functional calculations with the M06-2X functional.

Based on density functional calculations (RB3LYP/LANL2DZp) the bicyclic metallocryptand [Pd3(L2)2] [(L2)3−: 1,1´ ,1´´-nitrilotris(5,5-dimethylhexane-2,4-dione trianion)] shows the same high gas-phase basicity (−257.1 kcal mol−1) as Lehn’s [2.2.2] cryptand (−254.4 kcal mol−1). This illustrates that the concept of metallotopomers adopted by Saalfrank et al. can be applied to design proton sponges as well as proton cryptands by metallosupramolecular coordination chemistry. The slightly higher gas-phase proton affinity of [Pd3(L2)2] compared to [2.2.2] can be attributed to the smaller cavity in the metallotopomer.

Density functional calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G* level were performed for Si nanoclusters of ca.1 nm in size. The structural, energetic, electronic as well as the estimated absorption spectra by the time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) calculations using varied functionals and basis sets for the representative cluster models are all in favor of the formation of most probable Si35H36 nanocluster in recent electrochemical etching experiments. The nanostructure has a complete H-termination at the borderline regions and lacks from the presence of any defects like surface Si—Si dimer units formed via self-healing of dangling Si—Si bonds or from any relatively short H…H contacts.

The full catalytic cycle that involves the oxidation of two CO molecules is investigated here by using periodic density functional calculations. To simulate the nature of Fe(OH)x/Pt nanoparticles, three possible structural models, i.e., Fe(OH)x/Pt(111), Fe(OH)x/Pt(332) and Fe(OH)x/Pt(322), are built. We demonstrate that Fe(iii)–OH–Pt stepped sites readily react with CO adsorbed nearby to directly yield CO2 and simultaneously produce coordinatively unsaturated iron sites for O2 activation. By contrast, the created interfacial vacancy on Fe(OH)x/Pt(111) prefers to adsorb CO rather than O2, thus inhabiting the catalytic cycles of CO oxidation. We suggest that such structure sensitivity can be understood in terms of the bond strengths of Fe(iii)–OH.

Density functional calculations have been employed to elucidate the structures of some six coordinated complexes of alloxan monohydrate with some d- and f-block metals. Alloxan monohydrate may exist in the mono-ionized or di-ionized form in its complexes, and both states were investigated. It is found that when the metal ion is coordinated to three bidentate ligands, the structures are nearly trigonal prismatic, but replacement of a bidendate ligand by two monovalent ligands changes the geometry to deformed octahedral. The metal-alloxanate bonding is largely ionic for the lanthanoids. The calculated vibrational frequencies are in agreement with the experimentally determined ones.

The adsorption and decomposition mechanisms of H2S on different α-Fe2O3(0001) surfaces, including Fe-vacancy, O-vacancy, sulfurized and Cu-, Zn- and Co-doped surfaces, have been studied systematically using periodic density functional calculations.
