The 2,6-diamino-3,5-dinitropyrazine-1-oxide (LLM-105) is a newly energetic material with an excellent performance and low sensitivity and has attracted considerable attention. On the basis of the dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D), the high-pressure responses of vibrational properties, in conjunction with structural properties, are used to understand its intermolecular interactions and anisotropic properties under hydrostatic and uniaxial compressions. At ambient and pressure conditions, the DFT-D scheme could reasonably describe the structural parameters of LLM-105. The hydrogen bond network, resembling a parallelogram shape, links two adjacent molecules and contributes to the structure stability under hydrostatic compression. The anisotropy of LLM-105 is pronounced, especially for Raman spectra under uniaxial compression. Specifically, the red-shifts of modes are obtained for [100] and [010] compressions, which are caused by the pressure-induced enhance of the strength of the hydrogen bonds. Importantly, coupling modes and discontinuous Raman shifts are observed along [010] and [001] compressions, which are related to the intramolecular vibrational redistribution and possible structural transformations under uniaxial compressions. Overall, the detailed knowledge of the high-pressure responses of LLM-105 is established from the atomistic level. Uniaxial compression responses provide useful insights for realistic shock conditions.

The work functions of (001) and (00-1) surfaces of B4C are investigated with density functional theory and symmetry slab model. These two surfaces are found to be almost nonpolarized and their work functions are 5.15 eV and 5.46 eV, respectively.

AbstractThe stability of organoclays prepared from smectites and organic cations depends on the type of used cation, among other factors. This study provides a prediction of the structure, stability and dynamic properties of organoclays based on montmorillonite (Mt) intercalated with two types of organic cations – tetrabutylammonium (TBA) and tetrabutylphosphonium (TBP) – using first-principle density functional theory. The results obtained from simulations were also used in the interpretation of the experimental infrared spectrum of the TBP-Mt organoclay. Analysis of interatomic distances showed that weak C–O···H hydrogen bonds were important in the stabilization of both TBA- and TBP-Mt models, with slightly stronger hydrogen bonds for the TBP cation. Calculated intercalation and adsorption reaction energies (ΔEint//ΔEads*/ΔEads**) confirmed that TBP-Mt structures (–72.4//–32.8/–53.8 kJ/mol) were considerably more stable than TBA-Mt structures (–56.7//–22.6/–37.4 kJ/mol). The stronger interactions of the alkyl chains of the TBP cation with Mt basal surfaces in comparison to those of the TBA cation were also correlated with the positions of the calculated bands of the C–H stretching vibrations.
