Starting from the observed chemical shift of C-1s and O-1s ionization potentials (IP), reported in the literature for the adsorption of CO on Ni (100), and correlated to the different CO adsorption sites at different coverages, we have carried out a theoretical investigation, using a first-principle density-functional method, to calculate ionization energies for adsorbed CO in the atop and bridge sites. In our approach, the Ni (100) surface was simulated with clusters of up to nine metal atoms of different geometry, in order to test the two adsorption sites. For each cluster, the CO adsorption geometry was optimized and the O-1s and C-1s ionizations were calculated. The main result was that the (O-1s–C-1s) difference was very well reproduced even with clusters of modest size, thus confirming the possibility to use this value as a structure-sensitive parameter.

A theoretical study was carried out of CumCon-O2-H2O ([Formula: see text]) clusters using density functional method. The results indicate that O2 and H2O molecules are adsorbed at top sites. The presence of H2O promotes more charge transfer to anti-bonding orbitals of O2 molecules which can lead to the elongation of O–O bond. And the effect of charge transfer suggests the occurrence of chemisorption. Comparison between CumCon-O2 and CumCon-O2-H2O, PDOS are also discussed.

Metal–metal and metal–ligand bonding in vinylidene ReFePt complex was studied by density functional method and topological analysis of electron density. Topological analysis did not found direct bonding between the metal atoms pointing to indirect metal–metal interaction mediated via the bridging vinylidene ligand. At the same time, the delocalization index δ(Fe,Pt) reveals the strong Fe–Pt interaction that allows for supposing a chemical bonding between these atoms

A Western Australian sample of the gorgonian Briareum excavatum, collected at Rowley Shoals, afforded one known (10) and seven new briaran diterpenes (1), (3) and (5)–(9). Gross structures and relative stereochemistries were determined by spectroscopic methods and by comparison of spectral data with those of previously reported briarans. Support for a proposed conformation of the 10-membered ring (stabilized by hydrogen-bonding) to explain atypical 1H n.m.r. chemical shifts and coupling constants in (9) was obtained from energy minimization of the proposed structure by an ab initio density functional method.

This work studies the aggregation of an synthetic ultraviolet absorbent, named 2-hydroxy-4-perfluoroheptanoate-benzophenone (HPFHBP), in the interface between two solvents which can not completely dissolve each other. The aggregation is studied by computer simulations based on a dynamic density functional method and mean-field interactions, which are implemented in the MesoDyn module and Blend module of Material Studios. The simulation results show that the synthetic ultraviolet absorbent diffuse to the interface phase and the concentration in the interface phase is greater than it in the solvents phase.

Within the framework of the density functional theory, the method was developed to calculate the band gap of semiconductors. We have evaluated the band gap for a number of monoatomic and diatomic semiconductors (Sn, Ge, Si, SiC, GaN, C, BN, AlN). The method gives the band gap of almost experimental accuracy. An important point is the fact that the developed method can be used to calculate both localized states (energy deep levels of defects in crystal), and electronic properties of nanostructures.
