A systematic investigation on structure, relative stabilities, dissociation behavior and bonding of the singly and doubly Ni doped boron clusters BnNim with n = 2–22 and m = 1–2, was carried out using density functional theory (TPSSh functional) calculations.

The heterofullerenes C59X (X = B, N, Al, Si, P, Ga, Ge, and As) were investigated by quantum chemistry calculations based on density functional theory. These hybrid cages can be seen as doping the buckminsterfullerene by heteroatom substitution. The geometrical structures, relative stabilities, electronic properties, vibrational frequencies, dielectric constants, and aromaticities of the doped cages were studied systemically and compared with those of the pristine C60cage. It is found that the doped cages with different heteroatoms exhibit various electronic, vibrational, and aromatic properties. These results imply the possibility to modulate the physical properties of these fullerene-based materials by tuning substitution elements.

The structure and relative energies of the tautomers of 5-methylcytosine in the gasphase and in different solvents are predicted using MP2 and density functional theory methods. The order of stability for these tautomers is C3>C1>C2>C4>C5>C6 calculated by MP2 and C1>C3>C2>C4>C5>C6 calculated by the B3LYP method. Relative energy calculations are performed in wide range of solvent dielectrics and in all solvents the oxo-amino C1 is predicted as the most stable tautomer. The infrared spectra of two dominant tautomers are calculated in the gas phase using HF and density functional theory. Good agreement between calculated (DFT) and experimental harmonic vibrational frequencies is found.

Computational study of anionic redox processes in Li2MnO3, and newly developed methods for identifying and studying the evolution of anionic redox using density functional theory (DFT). A method for identifying localized anionic redox species is applied to a set of structures relaxed using the VASP software. A preconditioning scheme is presented to promote the formation of peroxo-like oxygen species, and study the formation and evolution of anionic redox.

A genetic search algorithm in conjunction with density functional theory calculations was used to determine the lowest-energy minima of the pure B22 cluster and thereby to evaluate the capacity of its isomers to form endohedrally doped cages.
