Adsorption And Dissociation

AbstractThe adsorption and dissociation behavior of water molecule below and above the critical dissociation temperatures were studied by first principles calculations. We found that water-molecule adsorption (surface coverage, θ=0.25) on the down Si atom of a Si dimer in two dimers surface model was 0.26 eV more favorable than that on the up Si atom. The activation energies of water molecule on the down Si atom for interdimer and intradimer dissociations were 0.17 eV and 0.20 eV, respectively. Due to the lower activation energy, the water molecule splits into H and OH immediately once it adsorbs on down Si atom of the Si (001) surface at room temperature. There were three different adsorption sites among four sites of the two dimers for the second water molecule (θ=0.5): one was preoccupied by OH of the first water molecule; up Si atom of the same-dimer with 76.3 % probability, up Si atom of the adjacent-dimer with 23.6 % probability, and down Si atom of the adjacent-dimer with 0.1 % probability. Thus, ½ monolayer of OH sites on the Si (001) surface are irregularly distributed when water molecules are adsorbed and dissociated at room temperature.

Room-temperature single-crystal X-ray studies are recorded for 2-nitrophenoxide salts of Group 2 metals, variously hydrated M(2-np)2.xH2O, M = Mg, Ca, Sr; the structure of the barium analogue has been previously recorded. Mg(2-np)2.2H2O is monoclinic, P21/a, a 7·377(1), b 7·518(1), c 12·877(3) Å, β 106·58(2)°, Z = 2; conventional R on |F| 0·13 for No 508 independent ‘observed’ (I > 3σ(I)) reflections. Ca(2-np)2.H2O is monoclinic, C2, a 25·92(1), b 7·176(3), c 3·660(4) Å, β 93·66(5)°, Z = 2, R 0·061 for No 541. M(2-np)2.4H2O, M = Ca, Sr, are isomorphous, monoclinic, C2/c, a ≈ 31·3, b ≈ 8·1, c ≈ 12·8 Å, β 103°, Z = 8; R was 0·056, 0·055 forNo 1988, 1744 respectively. The magnesium salt is a discrete molecular array disposed about a crystallographic inversion centre with chelating phenoxide ligands: trans-[Mg(2-np)2(OH2)2]. The calcium monohydrate salt is a novel one-dimensional polymer with a ... Ca(µ-O)2Ca(µ-O)2Ca ... spine, the ligand pairs chelating the calcium with phenoxide-O additionally bridging. The seven-coordinate calcium atoms lie on the crystallographic 2 axis with the water molecule, also on that axis, making up a seven-coordinate environment. The tetrahydrate is also a one-dimensional polymer with a similar spine, the bridging oxygen atoms derivative of water molecules. A chelating ligand and two further water molecules make up an eight-coordinate metal environment, with the free anions interleaving stacks of coordinated anions up c.

First Principles Calculations

In the presence of an oxygen vacancy, two water molecules in the tunnel of an α-MnO2 lattice form a dimer and dissociate into ions, which can activate water oxidation. And also self-healing can happen if at least one more water molecule is available in the tunnel for proton transport.

The crystal structure of the tetranuclear title compound, [Cu4(C12H15NO5)4(H2O)4], has been previously reported by Back, Oliveira, Canabarro & Iglesias [Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem.(2015),641, 941–947], based on room-temperature data. In the previously published structure, no standard uncertainties are recorded for the deprotonated hydroxymethyl group and water molecule O atoms coordinating to the metal atom indicating that they were not refined; furthermore, the H atoms of some OH groups and water molecules have not been positioned accurately. Since the current structure was determined at a lower temperature, all atoms, including the H atoms of these hydroxy groups and the water molecule, have been determined more accurately resulting in improved standard uncertainties in the bond lengths and angles. Diffraction data were collected at 200 K, rather than the more usual 100 K, due to apparent disordering at lower temperatures. In addition, it is now possible to report intra- and intermolecular O—H...O interactions. In the title complex molecule, which has crystallographic -4 symmetry, the CuIIions are coordinated by the tridentate Schiff base ligands and water molecules, forming a tetranuclear Cu4O4cubane-like core. The CuIIion adopts a CuNO5elongated octahedral environment. The coordination environment of CuIIat 200 K displays a small contraction of the Cu—N/O bonds, compared with the room-temperature structure. In the crystal lattice, the neutral clusters are linked by intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds into a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network propagating along thebaxis.

The surface structure of fluoroapatite (0001) (FAp0001) under quasi-dry and humid conditions has been probed with surface X-ray diffraction (SXRD). Lateral and perpendicular atomic relaxations corresponding to the FAp0001 termination before and after H2O exposure and the location of the adsorbed water molecules have been determined from experimental analysis of the crystal truncation rod (CTR) intensities. The surface under dry conditions exhibits a bulk termination with relaxations in the outermost atomic layers. The hydrated surface is formed by a disordered partially occupied H2O layer containing one water molecule (33% surface coverage) adsorbed at each of the three surface Ca atoms, and is coupled with one OH group randomly bonded to each of the three topmost P atoms with a 33% surface coverage.

Room-temperature single-crystal neutron diffraction studies are recorded for two alums, Cs( Rh /V)(SO4)2.12H2O [cubic, Pa3, a 12.357(5) ( Rh ), 12.434(1)Ǻ (V)], residuals 0.037 and 0.068 for 328 and 164 'observed' reflections, with the intention of defining water molecule hydrogen atom orientations. Whereas the two tervalent hexaaqua cations are similar in size [ rM -O = 2.010(6)Ǻ (M = V) and 2.006(2)Ǻ (M = Rh )] the vanadium salt adopts the β alum modification while rhodium gives an α alum. Significantly, the water coordination geometry is different in the two cases with the tilt angle between the plane of the water molecule and the M-O bond vector being 1° (M = V) and 35° (M = Rh ). The tilt angle for water coordinated to rhodium in CsRh (SeO4)2.12H2O is inferred from the unit cell dimensions to be similar to that of the corresponding sulfate salt and not that which generally pertains for caesium selenate alums. Significant differences in the H-O-H bond angle are found for trigonal planar and trigonal pyramidal water coordination, suggesting that differences in the metal(III)-water interaction are a determinant of the geometry of the coordinated water molecule in the caesium sulfate/ selenate alum lattices.

In the title hydrated salt, C8H18N+·C4H5O4−·H2O, the cyclooctyl ring of the cation is disordered over two positions in a 0.833 (3):0.167 (3) ratio. The structure contains various O—H.·O and N—H...O interactions, forming a hydrogen-bonded layer of molecules perpendicular to thecaxis. In each layer, the ammonium cation hydrogen bonds to two hydrogen succinate anions and one water molecule. Each hydrogen succinate anion hydrogen bonds to neighbouring anions, forming a chain of molecules along thebaxis. In addition, each hydrogen succinate anion hydrogen bonds to two water molecules and the ammonium cation.

[{Hg(CF3)2}(ThpH)(H2O)](H2O) (1), [{Hg4(Thp)4}(ClO4)4(H2O)8](H2O)4 (2), [{Hg(ThpH)2} (NO3)](NO3) (3) and {Hg(Thp)Cl}(H2O) (4) (ThpH = theophylline, C7H8N4O2) have been synthesized by slow evaporation of aqueous solutions of the mercuric salts Hg(CF3)2, Hg(ClO4)2, Hg(NO3)2, or HgCl2 and theophylline. Their crystal structures were determined on the basis of single crystal X-ray data. The coordination polymers 1 and 2 crystallize with triclinic symmetry, P1̅ (no. 2), with a = 468.8(2), b = 1256.4(5), c = 1445.5(6) pm, α = 67.15(3), β = 89.21(3), γ = 89.40(3)° and a = 833.6(1), b = 1862.7(2), c = 2182.9(2) pm, α = 111.61(1), β = 90.98(1), γ = 95.51(1)°, respectively. 3 and 4 crystallize with monoclinic symmetry, Pc (no. 7), a =1194.1(1), b=1258.8(2), c=735.5(2) pm, β =96.96(2)° and P21/n (no. 14), a=1069.0(2), b =911.6(1), c=1089.9(2) pm and β = 96.87(2)°. In 1 the theophylline molecules are non-coordinating to mercury and leave the Hg(CF3)2 molecule unchanged. Only weak electrostatic attractions to one keto-oxygen atom of theophylline and one water molecule hold this co-crystallisate together. In 2, the theophyllinate anion, Thp−, strongly coordinates with both N(7) and N(9) to HgII forming a large ring with eight Hg atoms that incorporates the water molecules. One sort of nitrate ions in 3 is weakly attached to HgII with the theophylline molecules still bound strongly through N(9). The chloride ligand and the theophyllinate ion seem to have the same strengths as ligands in 4 as they are both attached to HgII with the shortest distances possible
