Pair potential function of Ni2+-H2O system has been constructed by ab initio method at UHF (Unrestricted Hartre-Fock) level. The basis sets used for energy interaction calculation were LANL2 Double-z ECP of Hay and Wadt for Ni2+ and Double-z Polarization of Dunning for H2O. Construction of pair potential function was done by collecting more than 3000 energy points that represent all interactions of Ni2+ ion and water. The pair potential function of Ni2+-H2O resulted of fitting proses by standard deviation of 3,25 kcal/mol is where AiM, BiM, CiM  and DiM are fitting parameter of Ni2+-O or Ni2+-H, riM is distance of i atoms between H2O and Ni2+, q is charge of i atoms of H2O resulted by Mulliken population analysis, and qM is net charge of Ni2+ ion.   Keywords: Ni2+ ion in water, intermoleculer potential function.

Two 15-membered octaazamacrocyclic nickel(II) complexes are investigated by theoretical methods to shed light on their affinity forwards binding and reducing CO2. In the first complex 1[NiIIL]0, the octaazamacrocyclic ligand is grossly unsaturated (π-conjugated), while in the second 1[NiIILH]2+ one, the macrocycle is saturated with hydrogens. One and two-electron reductions are described using Mulliken population analysis, quantum theory of atoms in molecules, localized orbitals, and domain averaged fermi holes, including the characterization of the Ni-CCO2 bond and the oxidation state of the central Ni atom. It was found that in the [NiLH] complex, the central atom is reduced to Ni0 and/or NiI and is thus able to bind CO2 via a single σ bond. In addition, the two-electron reduced 3[NiL]2− species also shows an affinity forwards CO2.

Borophene is a new type of two-dimensional material with a series of unique and diversified properties. However, most of the research is still in its infancy and has not been studied in depth. Especially in the field of semiconductor optoelectronics, there is no related research on the modulation of photoelectric properties of borophene. In this work, we focus on the effect of doping on the photoelectric properties of borophene by using the first-principles pseudopotential plane wave method. We calculate the geometric structure, electronic structure, Mulliken population analysis, and optical properties of impurity (X = Al, Ga) doped α-sheet borophene. The results show that α-sheet borophene is an indirect band gap semiconductor with 1.396 eV. The band gap becomes wider after Al and Ga doping, and the band gap values are 1.437 eV and 1.422 eV, respectively. Due to the orbital hybridization between a small number of Al-3p electrons and Ga-4p state electrons and a large number of B 2p state electrons near the Fermi level, the band gap of borophene changes and the peak value of the electron density of states reduces after doping. Mulliken population analysis shows that the B0-B bond is mainly covalent bond, but there is also a small amount of ionic bond. However, when the impurity X is doped, the charge transfer between X and B atoms increases significantly, and the population of the corresponding X-B bonds decreases, indicating that the covalent bond strength of the chemical bonds in the doped system is weakened, and the chemical bonds have significant directionality. The calculation of optical properties shows that the static dielectric constant of the borophene material increases, and the appearance of a new dielectric peak indicates that the doping of Al and Ga can enhance the ability of borophene to store electromagnetic energy. After doping, the peak reflectivity decreases and the static refractive index n0 increases, which also fills the gap in the absorption of red light and infrared light by borophene materials. The research results provide a basis for the development of borophene materials in the field of infrared detection devices. The above results indicate that doping can modulate the photoelectric properties of α-sheet borophene.

ABSTRACTMolecular ab initio SCF calculations on a cluster formed by Y, Cu(2)-O(2)-O(3) plane, Ba-O(1) plane and Cu(1)-O(4) chains are reported. The computations were performed for five different sets of lattice parameters of YBACu2O6+δ Each of these sets correspond to a values of the oxygen stoichiometry. Mulliken population analysis results show a charge transfer to the Cu(2)-O(2)-O(3) plane when the oxygen stoichiometry is increased from six to seven.
