We have studied the structures and electronic properties of PdCn (n=2-12) using the density functional theory in this paper. Though calculating, we found that the linear isomers are most stable for PdCn(n=2-9) clusters. N=10 is turning point, and the bicyclical structure is most stable for PdC10 cluster. Cyclic structures have the lowest energy for PdC11 and PdC12 clusters.

Inductive effect in the aromatic moieties of [2,2]paracyclophane is theoretically analyzed with the density functional theory. The inclusion of different substituents in one of the moieties seems to affect the behaviour of the other. The nature of activating or deactivating groups as substituents reflect known facts on electrophilic aromatic substitutions derived from the inductive effects. The interesting feature in this case is that the phenomenon is transfered from the substituted deck to the other via transannular effects. The strain suffered by the cyclophane molecule is also analyzed.

This paper studies the effect of GGA-PBE, GGA-PBEsol, GGA-PW91, GGA-VWN-BP, LDA-PWC, LDA-VWN parameterized exchange–correlation functionals and Cu impurity concentration on the lattice and electronic properties of bulk AuCu by the Density Functional Theory (DFT). The lattice properties are determined by the lattice constant, the unit cell volume and the total energy on unit cell. The electronic properties are determined by the band gap, the Partial Density of States (PDOS) and the total Density of States (DOS) of materials. The obtained results showed the effect of the interaction potential and the Cu impurity concentration on the lattice structure and the electronic structure of bulk AuCu.
