Ab Initio Partition Functions and Thermodynamic Quantities for the Molecular Hydrogen Isotopologues.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we calculate the partition functions and thermodynamic quantities of molecular hydrogen isotopologues using the rovibrational energy levels provided by the highly accurate ab initio adiabatic potential energy functions recently determined by Pachucki and Komasa (Pachucki, K.; Komasa, J. J. Chem. Phys. 2014, 141, 224103). The partition functions are calculated by including all bound energy levels of the isotopologues, up to their dissociation limits, plus the quasi-bound levels lying below the centrifugal potential barriers. For the homonuclear isotopologues, H₂, D₂, and T₂, we also determine the partition functions and thermodynamic quantities of the normal mixtures using the statistical treatment recently proposed by Colonna et al. (Colonna, G.; D'Angola, A.; Capitelli, M. Int. J. Hydrogen Energy 2012, 37, 9656) based on the definition of the partition function of the mixture, which avoids inconsistencies in the values of the thermodynamic quantities depending directly on the internal partition function, in the high-temperature limit.

Project description:Hydrogen bonds (HBs) play an important role in the rotational dynamics of organic cations in hybrid organic/inorganic halide perovskites, thus affecting the structural and electronic properties of the perovskites. However, the properties and even the existence of HBs in these perovskites are not well established. In this study, we investigate HBs in perovskites MAPbBr3 (MA+ = CH3NH3+), FAPbI3 (FA+ = CH(NH2)2+), and their solid solution with composition (FAPbI3)7/8(MAPbBr3)1/8, using ab initio molecular dynamics and electronic structure calculations. We consider HBs donated by X-H fragments (X = N and C) of the organic cations and accepted by the halides (Y = Br and I) and characterize their properties based on pair distribution functions and on a combined distribution function of the hydrogen-acceptor distance with the donor-hydrogen-acceptor angle. By analyzing these functions, we establish geometrical criteria for HB existence based on the hydrogen-acceptor (H-Y) distance and donor-hydrogen-acceptor angle (X-H-Y). The distance condition is defined as d(H - Y) < 3 Å for N-H-donated HBs and d(H - Y) < 4 Å for C-H-donated HBs. The angular condition is 135° < (X - H - Y) < 180° for both types of HBs. A HB is considered to be formed when both angular and distance conditions are simultaneously satisfied. At the simulated temperature (350 K), the HBs dynamically break and form. We compute the time correlation functions of HB existence and HB lifetimes, which range between 0.1 and 0.3 ps at that temperature. The analysis of HB lifetimes indicates that N-H-Br bonds are relatively stronger than N-H-I bonds, while C-H-Y bonds are weaker, with a minimal influence from the halide and cation. To evaluate the impact of HBs on the vibrational spectra, we present the power spectrum in the region of N-H and C-H stretching modes, comparing them with the normal mode frequencies of isolated cations. We show that the peaks associated with N-H stretching modes in perovskites are redshifted and asymmetrically deformed, while the C-H peaks do not exhibit these effects.
