The adsorption of benzene on the M(111), M(100) and M(110) surfaces of the coinage metals copper (M = Cu), silver (M = Ag) and gold (M = Au) is studied on the basis of density functional theory (DFT) calculations with an empirical dispersion correction (D3). Variants of the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof functionals (PBE, RPBE and RevPBE) in combination with different versions of the dispersion correction (D3 and D3(BJ)) are compared. PBE-D3, PBE-D3(BJ) and RPBE-D3 give similar results which exhibit a good agreement with experimental data. RevPBE-D3 and RevPBE-D3(BJ) tend to overestimate adsorption energies. The inclusion of three-center terms (PBE-D3(ABC)) leads to a slightly better agreement with the experiment in most cases. Vertical adsorbate–substrate distances are calculated and compared to previous theoretical results. The observed trends for the surfaces and metals are consistent with the calculated adsorption energies.

The Density Functional Theory

The acetylation mechanisms of several selected typical substrates from experiments, including arylamines and arylhydrazines, are investigated with the density functional theory in this paper. The results indicate that all the transition states are characterized by a four-membered ring structure, and hydralazine (HDZ) is the most potent substrate. The bioactivity for all the compounds is increased in a sequence ofPABA≈4-AS<4-MA<5-AS≈INH<HDZ. The conjunction effect and the delocalization of the lone pairs of N atom play a key role in the reaction. All the results are consistent with the experimental data.

The dynamics of the 1,4-migration of some O-substituted 3,5-di-tert-butyl-ortho-semiquinone radicals have been calculated by density-functional theory (DFT). There is very good agreement in the rate constant and Arrhenius parameters between these calculations and experimental values for migration of H, D, and the Me3Si group. For the Me3Sn group, the calculations indicate an incredibly fast migration (k293K = 2.0 × 1012 s–1), a result that is consistent with experimental data (k293K > 109 s–1). Other O-substituents examined by DFT and compared with experimental data were H3C and Me2ClSn.

Good Agreement

Using density functional theory, we investigate the 6H-SiC{0001} surfaces in the unreconstructed 1 × 1 and the H-passivated configuration. The strong correlation effects of the dangling bonds at the surface are treated by spin-polarised calculations including the Hubbard-U parameter. We find that the clean surfaces are semiconducting with surface states in good agreement with experimental data. The impact of the Hubbard-U is stronger on the C-terminated face. For the H-passivated surfaces we find resonances in the valence band. The antibonding C−H state is located in the upper part of the bandgap around the ¯􀀀-point.

In this work we perform a theoretical study of dehydrogenation process of CH4 on O2– in both molecular and dissociative states - previously adsorbed on Cr2O3(0001). Calculations are based on Density Functional Theory (DFT). The results show the methanol formation form the adsorption of CH4 on O2 in dissociative state with a formationenergy5:14 eV. Also formaldehyde was formed by the reaction of CH2with molecular O2(Eads=6:09 eV) and dioxymethylene by the reaction of CH2with O2 previously adsorbed in dissociative state on Cr2O3(0001), withEads=8:17 eV. Finally, the vibrational modes found by DFT for each of the species were compared, which are in good agreement with those of reference bibliography. This allows us to support the values found both by technical calculations and by experimental methods.

Ten compounds of dimolybdenum are studied using density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory. The energy of the strongest symmetry-allowed bands is calculated. The results are then compared with experimental data, when available. The PW91 functional gives results for geometry and for the energy of the δ→δ* band that show good agreement with experimental data. However, the B3LYP functional gives more realistic values for the whole spectrum when the results are compared with experimental data. Finally, the different values of energy of these bands are explained analyzing the molecular orbitals involved in these transitions. Some ligands can act as an unsaturated system in conjugation with the delta bond, modifying the energies of the electronic transitions.

Abstract The interactions of ascorbic acid (AA) with urea were investigated by using the cyclic voltammetry, density functional theory, atoms in molecules and natural bond orbital analyses. The experimental and theoretical results show that the hydrogen bonds are formed between AA and urea, wherein the mainly interaction sites are the hydrogen atoms on enediol of AA and the oxygen atom on carbonyl of urea. The electrochemical behavior of AA was significantly affected by above interactions.

Theoretical Results

The structures and the relative energies of six possible tautomers of the thymine base have been studied by density functional theory (DFT) using the B3LYP and BP86 functionals. The keto-thymine (T1) is predicted to be the most stable thymine tautomer, which is consistent with the other theoretical results and experimental data. The corresponding thymine cations and anions are studied using the same level of theory with double-ζ plus polarization and diffuse functions (DZP++) basis sets. The ionization potentials (IPs), the electron affinities (EAs), and proton affinities (PAs) for different protonation sites in thymine base are obtained. T1 has the largest ionization potential and the lowest proton affinity among all the considered thymine tautomers.

Quantum chemical calculations using semi-empirical, ab initio, density functional theory (DFT) and Møller plesset (MP2) methods were performed on 4H-Cyclopenta[2,1-b,3;4-b’]dithiopene S-oxide derivatives (i.e. bridged dithiophene S-oxides, BTOs). The geometries, stabilities, electronic and thermodynamic properties of the compounds were studied. The thermodynamic parameters calculated at PM3 were in good agreement with those calculated at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The band gap energies calculated at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level for the BTOs were lower than the un-substituted trithiophene but higher than 4H-Cyclopenta[2,1-b,3;4-b’]dithiopene. The absorption λmax calculated using TD-DFT was shifted to longer wavelength by successive replacement of methylene hydrogens of BTO by chlorine and fluorine atoms.

Ta2O5 is a wide-bandgap semiconductor that offers interesting applications in microwavecommunications, mainly related to the manufacture of filters and resonators whosesize is inversely proportional to the dielectric constant of the material. For that reason, inthis work we present a theoretical study, based on density functional theory (using PBEsoland hybrid HSE06 exchange-correlation functionals), of the electronic and dielectricproperties of the orthorhombic model -Ta2O5. We found that this model has a direct gap of2.09 and 3.7 eV with PBEsol and HSE06, respectively. Furthermore, the calculated staticdielectric constant, 51, is in good agreement with the reported values of other phases of thissemiconductor.

Buckminsterfullerene C60

Buckminsterfullerene (C60) has been advocated as a perfect candidate material for the encapsulation and adsorption of a variety of metals and the resultant metallofullerenes have been considered for the use in different scientific, technological and medical areas. Using spin-polarized density functional theory together with dispersion correction, we examine the stability and electronic structures of endohedral and exohedral complexes formed between coinage metals (Cu, Ag and Au) and both non-defective and defective C60. Encapsulation is exoergic in both forms of C60 and their encapsulation energies are almost the same. Exohedral adsorption of all three metals is stronger than that of endohedral encapsulation in the non-defective C60. Structures and the stability of atoms interacting with an outer surface of a defective C60 are also discussed. As the atoms are stable both inside and outside the C60, the resultant complexes can be of interest in different scientific and medical fields. Furthermore, all complexes exhibit magnetic moments, inferring that they can be used as spintronic materials.
