We investigated the stability of aminoborane with electron withdrawing groups such as – CF 3 and – CN using density functional theory calculations. For the electron withdrawing groups of – CF 3 and – CN , we observed similar tendency of B – N bond strength: electron withdrawal from the N atom reduces the strength of B – N bonds. And we find that the electron density localized on B and N is also reduced through the charge analysis. These electron withdrawing substituents make cyclic dimers and trimers stabilized less than electron donating ones.

The relative stability of the trans and cis isomers in the square planar palladium(II) complexes Pd ( I )( PPh 3)(η3- XCHC ( Ph ) CHR ) ( X = H , Me , CMe 3, CO 2 Me , P ( O )( OMe )2, and SO 2 H ; R = H , Me ) was investigated with the aid of the B3LYP density functional theory calculations. We examined how the substituents X, with different electronic properties, of the η3-allyl ligands affect the relative stability of the trans and cis isomers. Through the investigation, we were able to explain the trans/cis relative stability derived from the experimentally measured trans/cis isomer ratios in the palladium(II) complexes.

ABSTRACTThe Density Functional Theory has been used to analyze an inter-granular segregation of Cu and Mg. The stability of Cu and Mg atoms in the aluminum matrix, intermetallic phases and symmetric twist grain boundaries has been compared. The quantitative description of solubility of Cu and Mg atoms in the nano-crystalline aluminum has been proposed. The calculations have been carried out to investigate the properties of symmetric twist boundaries in aluminum with and without Cu/Mg atoms. The phenomena of are discussed and its effect on the stability of precipitates containing these elements.

The substitutional doping of Mn and Ti in Mg2Ni phase has been investigated by first principles density functional theory calculations. The calculation of enthalpy of formation shows that among the four different lattice sites of Mg(6f), Mg(6i), Ni(3b) and Ni(3d) in Mg2Ni unit cell, the most preferable site of substitution of Mn in Mg2Ni lattice has been confirmed to be Mg(6i) lattice site. The most preferable site of Ti substitution in Mg2Ni lattice is Mg(6i) position and the stability of Ti-doped Mg2Ni decreases with the increase of substitution quantity of Ti for Mg.

Density functional theory calculations have been carried out to investigate 3d, Pd and Pt transition metal (TM) atoms exohedrally and endohedrally doped B 80 fullerene. We find that the most preferred doping site of the TM atom gradually moves from the outer surface ( TM = Sc ), to the inner surface ( TM = Ti and V ) and the center ( TM = Cr , Mn , Fe and Zn ), then to the outer surface ( TM = Co , Ni , Cu , Pd , and Pt ) again with the TM atom varying from Sc to Pt . From the formation energy calculations, we find that doping TM atom can further improve the stability of B 80 fullerene. The magnetic moments of doped V , Cr , Mn , Fe , Co and Ni atoms are reduced from their free-atom values and other TM atoms are completely quenched. Charge transfer and hybridization between 4s and 3d states of TM and 2s and 2p states of B were observed. The energy gaps of TM @ B 80 are usually smaller than that of the pure B 80. Endohedrally doped B 80 fullerene with two Mn and two Fe atoms were also considered, respectively. It is found that the antiferromagnetic (AFM) state is more energetically favorable than the ferromagnetic (FM) state for Mn 2- and Fe 2@ B 80. The Mn and Fe atoms carry the residual magnetic moments of ~ 3 μB and 2 μB in the AFM states.
