Utilizing dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we demonstrate the weak intermolecular interactions of phenylenediamine dimer (pdd) clusters, emphasizing the local lowest energy structures and decomposition of interaction energies by natural bond orbital (NBO) and atoms in molecule (AIM) analyses.

The mechanism of the iridium-catalyzed functionalization of a primary C–H bond at the γ position of an alcohol 5 is investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. A new IrIII–IrV mechanism is found to be more feasible than the previously reported IrI–IrIII mechanism. 10 In the IrIII–IrV mechanism, the reaction begins with the initial formation of (Me4phen)IrIII(H)[Si(OR)Et2]2 from the catalyst precursor, [Ir(cod)OMe]2 (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene). The catalytic cycle includes five steps: (1) the insertion of norbornene into the Ir–H bond to produce (Me4phen)IrIII(norbornyl)[Si(OR)Et2]2 (R = –CH(C2H5)C3H7); (2) the Si–H oxidative addition of HSi(OR)Et2 to form (Me4phen)IrVH(norbornyl)[Si(OR)Et2]3; (3) the reductive elimination of norbornane to furnish (Me4phen)IrIII[Si(OR)Et2]3; (4) the intramolecular C–H activation of the primary C–H bond at the γ position; and (5) the Si–C reductive elimination to produce the final product and regenerate the catalyst. The highest barrier in the IrIII–IrV mechanism is 7.3 kcal/mol lower than that of the IrI–IrIII mechanism. In addition, the regioselectivity of the C–H activation predicted by this new IrIII–IrV mechanism is consistent with experimental observation.

Modified Si(111) surface with designed nanostructural modifications including grown pits, nanobars and nanoislands as well as deposited hill-, diamond- and cage-like nanoclusters were studied using density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. The thermal stabilities, electronic structures and optical properties of these various nanostructural modifications of the Si(111) surface were calculated and discussed. The results indicate that the optical absorption of the modified Si(111) surface can be enhanced by these surface modifications especially when depositing diamond-like nanoclusters on the surface.

Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HAp) doped with various transition metals has generated great interest in view of its potential application in a wide variety of fields, including in catalysis as a support with a series of attractive properties. Despite a large number of experimental works devoted to the synthesis and application of iron-substituted hydroxyapatites, problems concerning the location, introduced defects, and charge compensation schemes for Fe2+ and/or Fe3+ cations in the crystal structure of HAp remain unclear. This paper is devoted to the comprehensive analysis of iron (II) and (III) introduction into the HAp lattice by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We show that the inclusion of Fe2+ in the Ca(1) and Ca(2) positions of HAp is energetically comparable. For the Fe3+, there is a clear preference to be included in the Ca(2) position. The inclusion of iron results in cell contraction, which is more pronounced in the case of Fe3+. In addition, Fe3+ may form a shorter linkage to oxygen atoms. The incorporation of both Fe2+ and Fe3+ leads to notable local reorganization in the HAp cell.
