A preliminary study involving solid-state 77Se NMR spectroscopy and first principles calculations of 77Se NMR parameters in Se–N heterocycles is reported. 77Se CP/MAS NMR spectra of the ring systems reveal expansive selenium chemical shift (CS) tensors, which are extremely sensitive to molecular geometry, symmetry, ligand substitution, and intermolecular contacts. For systems with known crystal structures, hybrid density functional theory (DFT) calculations of selenium nuclear magnetic shielding (NMS) tensors were carried out, and tensor orientations in the molecular frames examined. Additional DFT calculations of selenium NMS tensors are presented, along with a detailed analysis of pairs of occupied and virtual molecular orbitals that give rise to the Se NMS tensors. A new naturalized local molecular orbital (NLMO) analysis under the same DFT framework is also discussed. Collectively, the NMR data and first principles calculations provide understanding of the influences of electronic structure, bonding, and intermolecular interactions on the selenium NMS tensors, allowing for (i) prediction of unknown molecular structures and (ii) insight into the positions of the stereochemically active selenium lone pairs.

Experimental Findings

This paper report is an analysis of the title compound by means of X-ray crystallography, FT-IR, NMR and DFT calculations, in the context of structural and spectral characterization. The crystal and molecular structures of the compound were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrum was recorded in the range from 400 cm–1 to 4000 cm–1. The 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were also recorded. DFT calculations were employed to support X-ray molecular geometry and calculate IR and NMR (1H and 13C) spectral bands. The structural (bond lengths, bond angles, torsion angles) and spectral (vibrational modes and chemical shifts) parameters obtained from DFT levels (B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-31G+(d,p)) were compared with experimental findings, and an excellent harmony between the two data was ascertained.

Cubic Structure

Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were performed. They were firstly implemented to optimize the structure and refine the stoichiometry of the only ternary compound, CuLi0.08Mg1.92 of the Cu-Li-Mg system. Furthermore using DFT, several possible structures of CuMg2Hx were optimized. Since most of the hydrides are cubic structures or can be considered as distortions of a cubic structure, we have started calculations for CuMg2Hx (x = 4 - 6)with tetragonal and monoclinic structures, similar to those of the hydrides formed by the nearest neighbors of Cu and Mg in the periodic table: NiMg2H4 and CoMg2H5 (e.g. monoclinic C2/c and tetragonal P4/nmm, respectively). It can be concluded that the most stable configuration corresponds to CuMg2H5 with C2/c structure. We have performed several neutron scattering experiments that are in agreement with the first principles calculations.

The Stability

Thin films of boron nitride (BN), particularly the sp<sup>2</sup>-hybridized polytypes hexagonal BN (h-BN) and rhombohedral BN (r-BN) are interesting for several electronic applications given band gaps in the UV. They are typically deposited close to thermal equilibrium by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at temperatures and pressures in the regions 1400-1800 K and 1000-10000 Pa, respectively. In this letter, we use van der Waals corrected density functional theory and thermodynamic stability calculations to determine the stability of r-BN and compare it to that of h-BN as well as to cubic BN and wurtzitic BN. We find that r-BN is the stable sp<sup>2</sup>-hybridized phase at CVD conditions, while h-BN is metastable. Thus, our calculations suggest that thin films of h-BN must be deposited far from thermal equilibrium.

Experimental Values

The structural, elastic and thermodynamic properties of the A15 structure V3Ir, V3Pt and V3Au were studied using first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) within generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and local density approximation (LDA) methods. The results have shown that both GGA and LDA methods can process the structural optimization in good agreement with the available experimental parameters in the compounds. Furthermore, the elastic properties and Debye temperatures estimated by LDA method are typically larger than the GGA methods. However, the GGA methods can make better prediction with the experimental values of Debye temperature in V3Ir, V3Pt and V3Au, signifying the precision of the calculating work. Based on the E–V data derived from the GGA method, the variations of the Debye temperature, coefficient of thermal expansion and heat capacity under pressure ranging from 0 GPa to 50 GPa and at temperature ranging from 0 K to 1500 K were obtained and analyzed for all compounds using the quasi-harmonic Debye model.

The electronic structure and spin polarization properties of pentagonal structure PdSe2 doped with transition metal atoms are studied through first- principles calculations. The theoretical investigations show that the band gap of the PdSe2 monolayer decreases after introducing Cr, Mn, Fe and Co dopants. The projected densities of states show that p-d orbital couplings between the transition metal atoms and PdSe2 generate new spin nondegenerate states near the Fermi level which make the system spin polarized. The calculated magnetic moments, spin density distributions and charge transfer of the systems suggest that the spin polarization in Cr-doped PdSe2 will be the biggest. Our work shows that the properties of PdSe2 can be modified by doping transition metal atoms, which provides opportunity for the applications of PdSe2 in electronics and spintronics.

First-principles calculations of the electronic structure are performed for cubic BaTbO3 using the plane-wave pseudopotential method within the framework of density functional theory and using the generalized gradient approximation for the exchange-correlation potential. Our calculations show that cubic BaTbO3 is metallic, and that this metallic character is mainly governed by the Tb 4f electrons and the hybridization between the Tb 5d and O 2p states. From the analysis of the density of states, band structure, and charge density contour, we find that the chemical bonding between Tb and O is covalent while that between Ba and TbO3 is ionic.
