This paper reports a theoretical study on the reaction of propyl vinyl ether (PVE, CH3CH2CH2OCH=CH2) with OH radicals in the presence of O 2 and NO x. The reaction pathway has been studied with the density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) at the 6-31G* level. The total energies of all geometries are corrected at the MP2/6-311+G** level. The profile of the potential energy surface was constructed. The possible channels involved in the reaction were discussed. The results show that six product pathways are energetically feasible for the degradation of PVE initiated by OH radicals in the atmosphere. The main products for this degradation reaction are propyl formate, formaldehyde, and glycolic acid propyl ester in which propyl formate and formaldehyde are mainly from the OH addition to C5 atom.

Global Reactivity Descriptors

Our theoretical study of stability and reactivity was carried out on six (06) molecules of a series of pyrimidine tetrazole hybrids (PTH) substituted with H, F, Cl, Br, OCH3 and CH3 atoms and groups of atoms using the density function theory (DFT). Analysis of the thermodynamic formation quantities confirmed the formation and existence of the series of molecules studied. Quantum chemical calculations at the B3LYP / 6-311G (d, p) level of theory determined molecular descriptors. Global reactivity descriptors were also determined and analyzed. Thus, the results showed that the compound PTH_1 is the most stable, and PTH_5 is the most reactive and nucleophilic. Similarly, the compound PTH_4 is the most electrophilic. The analysis of the local descriptors and the boundary molecular orbitals allowed us to identify the preferred atoms for electrophilic and nucleophilic attacks.

AbstractThis paper deals with quantum mechanical interaction of no 3− with (5,5) and (8,0) swcnts. To perform this we have made an ab initio calculation based on the density functional theory. In these framework the electronic density plays a central role and it was obtained of a self-consistent field form. It was observed through binding energy that NO3− molecule interacts with each nanotube in a physisorption regime. We propose these swcnts as a potential filter device due to reasonable interaction with NO3− molecule. Besides this type of filter could be reusable, therefore after the filtering, the swcnts could be separated from NO3− molecule.

In this work, a theoretical study of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties are presented for Mn 0.5 Ni 0.5 alloyed overlayer adsorbed on Cu (001) surface. The calculations were performed using the density functional theory (DFT) and the exchange-correlation potential was treated by the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The system was fully relaxed except for the central layer, which yields to outward relaxations and inward Mn and Ni surface atoms, respectively in the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic configurations. The in-plane ferromagnetic configuration was found to be more stable than the antiferromagnetic one by 25 meV/atom. The local magnetic moments of Mn atoms were found to be about 4 μ B , whereas those of the Ni atoms where found to be 0.46 μ B .

We carried out ab initio electronic structure calculations in the frameworks of the Density Functional Theory (DFT) to study the electronic structures and hyperfine interaction of muonium (Mu) in imidazole (C3H4N2) and 1–methylimidazole (CH3C3H3N2). The local energy minima and hyperfine interactions of the Mu trapped at the three studies sites were determined by performing geometry optimization procedure. The results show the total energies for all three studied sites are close to one another. The Mu hyperfine interactions were also determined, with the corresponding values vary from 343.00 MHz to 471.28 MHz for the imidazole–Mu cluster, and from 380.21 MHz – 465.57 MHz to 475.93 MHz for the cluster of 1–methylimidazole–Mu, respectively.

Good Agreement

The first-principles with pseudopotentials method based on the density functional theory was applied to calculate the geometric structure, the formation energy of impurities and the electronic structure of Li-doped ZnO. In the system of Li-doped ZnO, LiZn can not result in lattice distortion. In contrast with that case, LiO and Lii result in lattice distortion after Li doping in ZnO. In Li-doped ZnO, LiO is the most unstable than the other cases. Simultaneously, Lii is more stable than LiZn according to that Lii has smaller formation energy. Furthermore, the electronic structure of Li-doped ZnO indicates that that LiZn behaves as acceptor, while Lii behaves as donor. In conclusion, in Li-doped ZnO, Lii is always in the system to compensate the acceptor. Singly doping Li in ZnO is difficult to gain p-ZnO for the self-compensation. The results are in good agreement with other calculated and experimental results.

Using the first-principles pseudopotential method within a generalized gradient approximation of the density functional theory, the structural and electronic properties of SrSe and SrTe have been studied. The calculated lattice parameters are in excellent agreement with experimental values, whereas the error in the minimum gap value is as high as 43.25% in SrSe . To get reliable band gap values of SrSe and SrTe , we employ the GW (G is the Green's function and W is the screened Coulomb interaction) approximation method. The result in GW approximation improves the band gap value of the SrSe greatly and agrees with the value of experimental measurement.

Cis And Trans

The addition of hydrogen to the carbon–carbon double bond of 2-butenes adsorbed on Pd (111) was studied within the density functional theory (DFT) and using a periodic slab model. For that purpose, the Horiuti–Polanyi mechanisms for both complete hydrogenation and isomerization were considered. The hydrogenation of cis and trans-2-butene to produce butane proceeds via the formation of eclipsed and staggered-2-butyl intermediates, respectively. In both cases, a relatively high energy barrier to produce the half-hydrogenated intermediate makes the first hydrogen addition the slowest step of the reaction. The competitive production of trans-2-butene from cis-2-butene requires the conversion from the eclipsed-2-butyl to the staggered-2-butyl isomer. As the corresponding energy barrier is relatively small and because the first of these isomers is less stable than the second, an easy conversion is predicted.
