A genetic search algorithm in conjunction with density functional theory calculations was used to determine the lowest-energy minima of the pure B22 cluster and thereby to evaluate the capacity of its isomers to form endohedrally doped cages.

We have screened different Cu-ZrO<sub>2</sub> interface structures and analysed the influence of the interface structure on CO<sub>2</sub> binding strength using density functional theory calculations. Our results demonstrate that a Cu nanorod favours one position on both tetragonal and monoclinic ZrO<sub>2</sub> surfaces, where the bottom Cu atoms are placed close the lattice oxygens. CO<sub>2</sub> prefers a bent bidentate configuration at the interface and the molecule is clearly activated being negatively charged. Altogether, our results highlight that CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption and activation depend sensitively on the chemical composition and atomic structure of the interface used in the calculations. <div><br></div>

AbstractWe report herein the results of density functional theory calculations of the geometric and electronic structure for a series of fused heterocyclic compounds. These molecules were compared with the corresponding carbocyclic oligoacenes, which are currently being experimentally investigated for use as organic semiconductors. The impact of various structural modifications on this class of compounds on the calculated structures is examined. The results of our calculations reveal that such materials hold exceptional promise as organic semiconductors.

By performing density functional theory calculations, the adsorption configurations of formic acid and possible reaction pathway for HCOOH oxidation on PtPd(111) surface are located. Results show that CO2 is preferentially formed as the main product of the catalytic oxidation of formic acid. The formation of CO on the pure Pd surface could not possibly occur during formic acid decomposition on the PtPd(111) surface owing to the high reaction barrier. Therefore, no poisoning of catalyst would occur on the PtPd(111) surface. Our results indicate that the significantly increased catalytic activity of bimetallic PtPd catalyst towards HCOOH oxidation should be attributed to the reduction in poisoning by CO.
