ABSTRACTWe present a computational density functional theory study of UF6 adsorption on ideal as well as hydrogenated and fluorinated graphene. We show that (i) the isotopic splitting in the vibrational spectrum of UF6 observed in vacuum is largely preserved in the adsorbed molecules. The existence of several adsorption configurations with competing Eads leads to overlaps in the vibrational spectra of isotopomers, but isotopomer-unique modes exist on all three surfaces. (ii) The adsorption energy of UF6 is of the order of 1.2 eV on ideal graphene, 1 eV on graphane, and 0.1 eV on fluorographene, i.e. the adsorption strength is moderate and can be controlled by surface modification. (i) and (ii) mean that it may be possible to cause desorption of a selected isotopomer by laser radiation, leading to isotopic separation between the surface and the gas.

A density functional theory study accounting for van der Waals interactions reveals the potential of either using metal surface vacancies as anchor points for the design of 2D patterns of adsorbate molecules or vice versa using adsorbate monolayers to design vacancy patterns.

The adduct of borabenzene (C5H5B) and pyridine (C5H5N) was studied by means of quantum-chemical ab initio and time-dependent density functional theory calculations at different levels of theory. In the fully optimized structure (MP2/6-311++G**) of the free donor–acceptor complex (C2), the C–B–C angle amounts to 120.6°. The planes of the two aromatic rings enclose a torsion angle of ~40° with a barrier to rotation about the B–N bond of less than 3 kcal mol–1 (1 kcal mol–1 = 4.186 kJ mol–1). The highest computational level applied in this study (complete basis set limit, coupled cluster with single and double excitations (CCSD)) results in an energy associated with the reaction of borabenzene with pyridine of –52.2 kcal mol–1. Natural bond orbital analyses were performed to study the bond between the borabenzene and the pyridine unit of the adduct. The UV-vis spectrum of the adduct was calculated employing time-dependent density functional theory methods and the symmetry-adapted cluster-configuration interaction method. Our calculated electronic excitation spectrum of the pyridine adduct as well as its spectrum of the normal modes qualitatively reproduce the characteristic features of the IR and the UV-vis spectra described by experimentalists and thus allows assignment of the observed absorption bands, which in part agree with those by other authors.
