The L12 type trialuminide compounds Al3M possess outstanding mechanical properties, which enable them to be ideal for dispersed strengthening phases for the high-strength thermally stable Al based alloys. Ab-initio calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) were performed to study the structural, electronic, thermal, and thermodynamic properties of L12-Al3M (M = Er, Hf, Lu, Sc, Ti, Tm, Yb, Li, Mg, Zr) structures in Al alloys. The total energy calculations showed that the L12 structures are quite stable. On the basis of the thermodynamic calculation, we found that the Yb, Lu, Er, and Tm atoms with a larger atomic radii than Al promoted the thermal stability of the Al alloys, and the thermal stability rank has been constructed as: Al3Yb > Al3Lu > Al3Er > Al3Tm > Al, which shows an apparent positive correlation between the atomic size and thermal stability. The chemical bond offers a firm basis upon which to forge links not only within chemistry but also with the macroscopic properties of materials. A careful analysis of the charge density indicated that Yb, Lu, Er, and Tm atoms covalently bonded to Al, providing a strong intrinsic basis for the thermal stability of the respective structures, suggesting that the addition of big atoms (Yb, Lu, Er, and Tm) are beneficial for the thermal stability of Al alloys.

We studied the thermo-elastic properties of Ru2FeZ (Z[Formula: see text]=[Formula: see text]Si, Ge, Sn) Heusler alloys within the framework of density functional theory. Thermo-elastic properties corresponding to elastic modulus, anisotropy, phase stability, elastic wave velocities, thermal stability, Debye temperature, melting temperature, thermal conductivity and formation energy are calculated. The elastic constants C[Formula: see text] predict the structural and dynamical stabilities while the formation energies show thermal stability of the alloys at 0 K. Pugh’s and Poisson’s ratios display the ductile nature of alloys. All alloys are anisotropic and we also observed that Ru2FeSn is the hardest material than Ru2FeSi and Ru2FeGe. Moreover, longitudinal mode of vibrations are also observed and are maximum along [100], [110] and [111] directions than the transverse mode of vibrations.

We compare and contrast the volatility and thermal stability of a family of twelve organometallic gold(I) compounds using a combination of X-ray crystallography, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and density functional theory (DFT) techniques. Pentafluorophenyl is used as a new ligand for vapor deposition which produces rather low volatility, but very thermally stable compounds when combined with PMe<sub>3</sub> and <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>'-di-<i>tert</i>-butylimidazolidin-2-ylidene. We introduce a precursor figure of merit that can be used to rank precursor usefulness. Using DFT, we find a linear correlation between Au-L bond strength and thermal stability, which demonstrates the power of computational techniques to predict successful synthetic targets for future precursor design studies.

The reaction of bidentate N-S-thione-Schiff base, (E)-benzyl 2-(1-(4-chlorophenyl)- ethylidene)hydrazinecarbodithioate, with Cu(NO3)2·3H2O produced a cis-Cu(II) complex. The molecular structure was confirmed and characterized by CHN-EA, FAB-MS, IR, and UV-Vis analyses. The XRD supported cis-isomer of the bis anionic bidentate N (azomethine) and S (thiol) ligand coordination mode in tetrahedrally distorted square planar, rarely reported in the literature. The results of the XRD-bond lengths were in perfect agreement with the density functional theory (DFT) calculation. DFT-calculated angles around the Cu(II) center displayed slightly less distortion around the metal center from those of XRD. Additionally, the thermal stability of the complex was evaluated via thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Two-dimensional fingerprint (2D-FP), Hirshfeld surface analysis (HSA), and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) support the XRD-packing results with the existence of the H⸱⸱⸱Cl and CH⸱⸱⸱π bonds as the main interactions in the crystal lattice of the desired complex.

The possible geometrical and electronic structures of C20dimer are optimized by using the density functional theory at B3LYP/LANL2DZ level, stable structure of C20dimer are obtained. The stability of the ground state structure have been studied. The results showed that: there was a slight expansion in carbon cage of C20 dimer ; its chemical stability and thermal stability have been improved.
