Nitric Oxide Dimer

Study of interaction of NO and (NO)2 molecules with silver clusters has been carried out using the hybrid method S2LYP based on density functional theory (DFT). The role of cluster charge and site of adsorption on N–O stretch frequency, adsorption energy and geometry has been investigated. Four cluster models of different size have been used for simulation of (NO)2 adsorption on Ag{111} surface. The pronounced effect of N–N bond shortening in comparison with gaseous (NO)2 has been found due to adsorption of (NO)2 on silver cluster. This phenomenon is important as possible pathway of N–N bond formation in catalytic fragmentation of NO molecule. The calculations showed that the silver octamer is the best candidate for simulation of formation and fragmentation of (NO)2 on Ag{111} surface within the cluster model.

Model Method

The adsorption and decomposition of ClCN on Si (100)-(2×1) surface is studied by using density functional theory and the cluster model method. The Si 9 H 12 dimer cluster is used to simulate the surface. The present calculations show that ClCN may be adsorbed molecularly without a barrier onto the surface with both linear (L1) and parallel (S1) modes. L1 can isomerize to S1 with a small barrier of 5.6 kcal/mol. Both ClCN and ClNC end-on adsorbates were found to dissociate readily to produce Cl and CN species, which was in excellent agreement with the experiment.

Radical Attack

In the present work, molecular orbital calculations using cluster models were performed within density functional theory (DFT) in order to study the adsorption of an Al atom on regular and defective graphene. Depending on the theoretical treatment of electronic exchange and correlations effects, different bonding results for the adsorption on the perfect surface are obtained. On the other hand, they are very similar for Al adsorbed on a carbon monovacancy. On regular graphene, the adsorption is exothermic when the Perdew, Burke and Ernzerhof (PBE) functional is used and endothermic with the Becke, 3-parameter, Lee–Yang–Parr (B3LYP) functional. Regarding the defective graphene surface, it was shown that the carbon atoms of concave angles in the vacancy are the most reactive to a radical attack. The adsorption of an Al atom on the vacancy restores the trigonal symmetry lost after the extraction of the C atom from regular graphene. Complementary calculations performed at PBE level on both regular and defective surfaces imposing periodic conditions qualitatively support the results obtained with the cluster model.
