The reaction of maleic anhydride ring-opening was calculated by Gaussian03. The Density Function Theory (DFT) method were employed to study the geometries of maleic anhydride and ethanol on the base of B3LYP/6-31G in the paper. The transitional states(Ts1,Ts2) of maleic anhydride ring-opening reaction were found by TS method and were proved by IRC calculation. The results showed that from the reactant to product, the energy reduced about 129.25337kJ/mol,The computation results showed that the reaction was exothermic and matched up well with experiment. Nowadays the MAH multipolymers were studied extensively.Because of C=C double bond has double substitutions and the great Spatial steric hindrance, MAH was always regarded as representative that couldn’t carry out homopolymerization[1,2]. Much attention has been paid to MAH polymerization(Homopolymerization[4] and Copolymerization[5-15])gradually Long and his colleagues[3] published papers on MAH homopolymerization in 1963. The related reports have been increased since MAH multipolymer was found to possess anti-tumor and biological activity[16]. According to the polymerization mechanism,epoxide ring-opening esterification were divided into three kinds: cationic polymerization, anionic polymerization and coordination polymerization.The saturated polyesters were prepared through maleic anhydride and alkene oxide reaction, generally using anionic polymerization initiated by hydroxyl compound such as alcohol, water and carboxylic acid. maleic anhydride ring-opening reaction initiated by alcohol(Eq. 1) was discussed in this paper.

The reaction of Propylene oxide(PO) ring-opening esterification was calculated by Gaussian03. The Density Function Theory (DFT) method was employed to study the geometries of PO and Maleic anhydride(MAH) reaction product obtained with the ethanol induced on the base of B3LYP/6-31G in the paper. The transitional states(Ts1,Ts2) of PO ring-opening esterification were found by TS method and were proved by IRC calculation. The results showed that from the reactant to product, the energy reduced about 799.07093 kJ/mol, The computation result showed that the reaction was exothermic.

The ring-opening reaction between bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin was calculated by Gaussian03. The Density Function Theory (DFT) method were employed to study the geometry structures of bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin and the product was obtained on the base of B3LYP/6-31G+ model in this paper. The transitional states (Ts1, Ts2) during the ring-opening process were found by TS method and the energy changing of the system was proved by IRC calculation. Results showed that the energy reduced by 64.37726kJ/mol during the ring-opening process. The product was confirmed to be thermodynamically stable.

The reaction of silylene with acetylene was observed by the density function theory (DFT) method at the 6 - 311 g (d,p) level. A new reaction pathway has been identified involving the tetra-conjugated: SiH2CH==CHH2Si:. Thermodynamic and kinetic analysis confirms the reaction to be spontaneous at room temperature. The new intermediate proposed in this work offers a resolution of the conundrum of the silylene/acetylene reaction.

Density function theory (DFT) method was developed and applied for fundamentally understanding the doping effect of various metals (Al, Ti and Cr) on vanadium dioxide (VO2). The substitution doping of Al, Ti and Cr in VO2 could lead to significant changes in electronic structure, band gap and optical property. Different from physical experiments, the DFT method could be utilized for fundamental understandings at an atomic scale. It was found via DFT calculations that: (i) Al doping caused a slightly distorted octahedron in monoclinic VO2(M), and narrowed the band gap of VO2(M) due to the upward shift of the valence band (VB), while Cr doping narrowed the band gap because of the downward shift of the conduction band (CB); (ii) Ti doping slightly widened the band gap of VO2(M); and (iii) the optical reflectivity of VO2(M) decreased after substitution doping low-valent metals (e.g., Al). This study will be beneficial for designing and controlling elemental doping to obtain metal oxide nanocomposites with unique band gap and electronic structure for thermochromic energy saving applications.

AbstractBased on the density function theory (DFT) method, the interaction between the graphene and oxygen atom is simulated by the B3LYP functional with the 6-31G basis set. Due to the symmetry of graphene (C54H18, D6h), a representative patch is put forward to represent the whole graphene to simplify the description. The representative patch on the surface is considered to gain the potential energy surface (PES). By the calculation of the PES, four possible stable isomers of the C54H18-O radical can be obtained. Meanwhile, the structures and energies of the four possible stable isomers, are further investigated thermodynamically, kinetically, and chemically. According to the transition states, the possible reaction mechanism between the graphene and oxygen atom is given.
