The Density Functional Theory

The hydrolysis mechanisms of polyglycolic acid (PGA) under tensile mechanical loading were studied by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations for illustrating the enhancement of PGA hydrolysis by external mechanical loading found in previous experimental studies (Iran. Polym. J., 2008, 17(9), 691–701).

Control Hypothesis

Summary Density functional theory methods are utilized to investigate structural features and stabilities of the most common lignin dimerization products. It is found that intra-molecular hydrogen bonding acts as a stabilizing force in the lowest-energy conformer(s) of several different dimeric lignin structures. Furthermore, the calculations show that the hypothesis of thermodynamic control of monolignol dimerization accounts for some of the results obtained in experimental studies aimed at determining the ratios of intermonomeric linkages. A quantitative correlation between experimentally observed ratios and calculated relative energies cannot, however, be pointed out.

AbstractThe geometry, frequency and intensity of the vibrational bands of 8-hydroxyquinoline and its 5,7-dichloro, 5,7-dibromo, 5,7-diiodo and 5,7-dinitro derivatives were obtained by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations with Becke3-Lee-Parr (B3LYP) functional and 6-31G* basis set. The effects of chloride, bromide, iodide and nitro substituent on the vibrational frequencies of 8-hydroxyquinoline have been investigated. The assignments have been proposed with aid of the results of normal coordinate analysis. The observed and calculated spectra are found to be in good agreement.

Acetylene Hydrogenation

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are carried out to investigate the effect of point defects on acetylene hydrogenation reaction over Ni(111) surface with three different defect concentrations (DC = 0.0500, 0.0625, and 0.0833), compared with the perfect Ni(111) surface.
