Alkali Atoms

Electronic excitations of an electron bound to an alkali metal ion inside a droplet of superfluid 4He are computed via a combination of helium density functional theory and the numerical integration of the Schrödinger equation for a single electron in a modified, He density dependent atomic pseudopotential.

Molecular Stability

Density functional theory (DFT) calculation method was employed to investigate a series of nine alkali metal porphyrins (alk-Pors), namely HLiPor , HNaPor , HKPor , Li2Por , LiNaPor , LiKPor , Na2Por , NaKPor , and K2Por . These molecules show different configurations depending on different metal ions which locate over the central hole of the porphyrin ligand. Alk-Pors with larger-radius metal ion have smaller binding energy and thus is more difficult to keep stable. Further detailed molecular stability analysis was carried out by noncovalent interaction and electrostatic interaction via RDG and NBO charge distribution. UV-vis spectra of these nine compounds also show different spectral shapes depending on the central metals, and the dominant state transitions with high degeneracy are revealed to be influenced by high molecular symmetric order. Finally their difference in reactivity due to the electronegativity of central metals and the nature of porphyrin rings are predicted by electrostatic potential and Fukui functions.
