Hydrated cobalt(I) cluster ions, [Co(H2O)n]+, can decompose the inert nitrous oxide molecule, N2O. Density functional theory suggests that N2O can anchor to Co+ of [Co(N2O)(H2O)n]+ through either O end-on (η1−OL)...

The ground and excited state properties of the two carbon allotropes, graphyne (C66H18) (gr1) and graphdiyne (C90H18) (gr2), in the form of nanoflakes were studied with the help of density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT).
