The influence of external electric field (EF) in the adsorption of atomic hydrogen on graphene (H/G) was studied by means of electronic structure calculations based on spin-polarized density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The changes in atomic hydrogen physisorption-chemisorption on graphene owed to EF (which ranged between −1.25 V/Å and 0.75 V/Å) were determined. Analysis of the electronic charge density for an H/G system explained the EF influences on the adsorption properties (analyzing changes in electronic charge density for H/G system). A decrease of more than 100% in the chemisorption barrier for an EF of −1.25 V/Å was found. The changes in the electronic charge density confirm the possibility of manipulating the physical-chemical adsorption of hydrogen on graphene by applying electric fields.

The effect of electron pair donor solvents on methylene reactivity has been theoretically studied by means of abinitio methods, using the split valence 3-21G basis set. The calculations have been done on the well-known methylene addition to ethylene, taking one water molecule in order to represent the donor solvent. We have shown that the process takes place via the formation of a reversible complex between water and methylene, the formation of this complex permitting to explain the experimentally observed decrease of methylene's electrophilicity. The analysis of the variation of the electronic charge density and of the solvation parameters along the reaction coordinate have also allowed to interpret the reaction in terms of the transfer of an electrophile (methylene) from a nucleophile (water) to another nucleophile (ethylene).

AbstractA first principles method for the computation of electric field gradients (EFGs) is illustrated for various solids. This scheme is based on self-consistent energy band-structure calculations by the full potential linearized augmented plan wave (FLAPW) method which provides the electronic charge density including all polarization effects. By numerically solving Poisson's equation we obtain the Coulomb potential in a form which allows to compute the EFG directly. Our method is demonstrated for insulators (Cu2O), metals (hcp-Zn), supercondutors (YBa2Cu3O7 ) and molecular crystals (Cl2, Br2 , I2).
