As an insulating medium, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is extensively applied to electrical insulation equipment to ensure its normal operation. However, both partial discharge and overheating may cause SF6 to decompose, and then the insulation strength of electrical equipment will be reduced. The adsorption properties and sensing mechanisms of four SF6 decomposed components (HF, SO2, SOF2 and SO2F2) upon an Au-modified InN (Au-InN) monolayer were studied in this work based on first-principles theory. Meanwhile, the adsorption energy (Ead), charge transfer (QT), deformation charge density (DCD), density of states (DOS), frontier molecular orbital and recovery property were calculated. It can be observed that the structures of the SO2, SOF2 and SO2F2 molecules changed significantly after being adsorbed. Meanwhile, the Ead and QT of these three adsorption systems are relatively large, while that of the HF adsorption system is the opposite. These phenomena indicate that Au-InN monolayer has strong adsorption capacity for SO2, SOF2 and SO2F2, and the adsorption can be identified as chemisorption. In addition, through the analysis of frontier molecular orbital, it is found that the conductivity of Au-InN changed significantly after adsorbing SO2, SOF2 and SO2F2. Combined with the analysis of the recovery properties, since the recovery time of SO2 and SO2F2 removal from Au-InN monolayer is still very long at 418 K, Au-InN is more suitable as a scavenger for these two gases rather than as a gas sensor. Since the recovery time of the SOF2 adsorption system is short at 418 K, and the conductivity of the system before and after adsorption changes significantly, Au-InN is an ideal SOF2 gas-sensing material. These results show that Au-InN has broad application prospects as an SO2, SOF2 and SO2F2 scavenger and as a resistive SOF2 sensor, which is of extraordinary meaning to ensure the safe operation of power systems. Our calculations can offer a theoretical basis for further exploration of gas adsorbent and resistive sensors prepared by Au-InN.

Topological analyses of the electron density using the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) have been carried out at the B3PW91/6-31g (d) theoretical level, on bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methanes derivatives 9-(4-(di (1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-methyl)phenyl)-9H-carbazole (L) and its zinc(II) complexes: ZnLCl2 (1), ZnLBr2 (2) and ZnLI2 (3). The topological parameters derived from Bader theory were also analyzed; these are characteristics of Zn-bond critical points and also of ring critical points. The calculated structural parameters are the frontier molecular orbital energies highest occupied molecular orbital energy (EHOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy (ELUMO), hardness (?), softness (S), the absolute electronegativity (?), the electrophilicity index (?) and the fractions of electrons transferred (?N) from ZnLX2 complexes to L. The numerous correlations and dependencies between energy terms of the Symmetry Adapted Perturbation Theory approach (SAPT), geometrical, topological and energetic parameters were detected and described.

Density Analysis

Molecular docking and charge density analysis were carried out to understand the geometry, charge density distribution and electrostatic properties of one of newly synthesized 4-substituted-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylates (PDE), which is regarded as the best [Formula: see text]-Glucosidase inhibitor among the hydropyridine dicarboxylate derivatives. The different bonding models of the PDE molecule in the active sites of proteins Human serum albumin (HSA) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae [Formula: see text]-glucosidase (SAG) are firstly compared, which is important to understand the different intermolecular interactions between drug-transport protein and drug-target protein. The deformation density maps suggest that the electron densities of the PDE molecule are redistributed when it presents in the active sites. When the molecule presents in the active site of the SAG, it is evident to find that the negative region does not appear at the vicinity of the oxygen atoms on one of the carboxylic acid dimethyl ester group. Frontier molecular orbital density distributions for the PDE molecule are similar in all forms. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest occupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy gaps in the active sites are higher than that of the molecule in pure solution phase. It is generally noticed that all of the orientations of the dipole moment vectors are reoriented in both active sites. These fine details at electronic level allow to better understand the exact drug-transport protein and drug-target protein interactions.
