Gd endohedral complexes of C82 fullerenols were synthesized and mass spectrometry analysis of their composition was carried out. It was established that the synthesis yields a series of fullerenols Gd@C82Ox(OH)y (x = 0, 3; y = 8, 16, 24, 36, 44). The atomic and electronic structure and properties of the synthesized fullerenols were investigated using the density functional theory calculations. It was shown that the presence of endohedral gadolinium increases the reactivity of fullerenols. It is proposed that the high-spin endohedral fullerenols are promising candidates for application in magnetic resonance imaging.

We theoretically investigate the electronic and magnetic structure of Fe 2 Hf. The density functional theory calculations are shown to produce the negative, easy-plane, magnetic anisotropy in the hexagonal Fe 2 Hf. Antimony substitution suppresses the planar magnetization direction and favors the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, in agreement with experimental observations. Our study suggests the possibility of the chemical control of the magnetic anisotropy in Fe 2 Hf by Sb substitution, and illustrates the potential of (Fe,Sb) 2 + x Hf 1 − x Laves phase alloys for the permanent magnet applications.

There are many areas in the world where the ground water has been contaminated by arsenic. One process to purify the water is to use TiO2 to adsorb the arsenic. As the TiO2 surface can be cleaned and reused, it has a promising potential as a water purifier. In this paper, the plane-wave function method, based on the density functional theory, has been used to calculate the structures of arsenic(III) on a perfect TiO2 anatase (1 0 1) surface. All the arsenic(III) solution species such as H3AsO3, H2AsO3-1, HAsO3-2 and AsO3-3 are put onto the surface with many different possible structures to obtain the adsorption energy. Based on the adsorption energy, the bidentate binuclear (BB) adsorption configurations of arsenic(III) on the surface are more favorable at low concentrations, whereas BB form and monodentate mononuclear (MM) form may coexist at higher concentrations. The models and results fit well with published experimental results. The results and conclusions will be of benefit to further research on arsenite adsorption and its photocatalytic oxidation on a TiO2 surface.

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.

AbstractThe geometry, frequency and intensity of the vibrational bands of 8-hydroxyquinoline and its 5,7-dichloro, 5,7-dibromo, 5,7-diiodo and 5,7-dinitro derivatives were obtained by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations with Becke3-Lee-Parr (B3LYP) functional and 6-31G* basis set. The effects of chloride, bromide, iodide and nitro substituent on the vibrational frequencies of 8-hydroxyquinoline have been investigated. The assignments have been proposed with aid of the results of normal coordinate analysis. The observed and calculated spectra are found to be in good agreement.

In this study, density functional theory calculations, using the M06-2X functional, were performed to investigate the efficiencies of various carbenes in inducing hydrogen abstraction in BH3 through the formation of a Lewis acid–base pair with BH3. The density functional theory results indicate that diamidocarbenes are more efficient in reducing the B–H bond energy of BH3 than diaminocarbenes. Natural bond orbital and combined charge and bond energy analyses were performed to investigate the Lewis acid–base pair formed by BH3 and the title carbenes.
