A new chemical compound with an unusual ratio of number of carbon and nitrogen atoms - C(N₁₂): quantum-chemical modelling.

ABSTRACT: Based on the results of a quantum chemical calculation using the DFT B3PW91/TZVP, MP2/TZVP and MP3/TZVP levels, the possibility of the existence of carbon-nitrogen compounds having the unusual carbon : nitrogen ratio 1 : 12, which is unknown for these elements at present, was shown. Data on the structural parameters are presented; it was shown that all CN₄ groupings are strictly planar. In addition, the bond lengths formed by nitrogen atoms and a C atom are equal to each other, and the bond angles formed by nitrogen atoms and a C atom are equal to 90.0°, or practically do not differ from this value. Thermodynamical parameters, NBO analysis data and HOMO/LUMO images for this compound are presented, too. Good agreement was found between the calculated data obtained using the above three quantum-chemical methods.

Structural parameters data are presented; it was noted that, as may be expected, CN4 grouping has practically a tetrahedral structure, and the chemical bond lengths formed by nitrogen atoms and a carbon atom in the frameworks of each of the calculation methods indicated above are equal to each other. Thermodynamical parameters, NBO analysis data, and HOMO/LUMO images for this compound are also presented. A good agreement between the calculated data obtained using the above three quantum-chemical methods was noticed, too.

Twelve-Nitrogen-Atom Cyclic Structure Stabilized by 3d-Element Atoms: Quantum Chemical Modeling.

Project description:Using various versions of density functional theory (DFT), DFT M06/TZVP, DFT B3PW91/TZVP, DFT OPBE/TZVP, and, partially, the MP2 method, the possibility of the existence of 3d-element (M) compounds with nitrogen having unusual M: nitrogen ratio 1:12, unknown for these elements at the present, was shown. Structural parameter data were presented. It was shown that all MN4 groupings have tetragonal-pyramidal structure. It was noted that the bond lengths formed by nitrogen atoms and an M atom were equal to each other only in the case of M = Ti, V, Cr and Co, whereas for other Ms, they were slightly different; moreover, the bond angles formed by nitrogen atoms and an M atom were equal to 90.0°, or practically did not differ from this value. Thermodynamic parameters, NBO analysis data and HOMO/LUMO images for this compound were also presented. Good agreement between the calculated data obtained using the above three quantum chemical methods was also noted.

The structure of DNA fragments: Quantum-chemical modelling.

Project description:In this review, we analyze and systematize our computational studies of the nucleic acid duplex formations and thermodynamic stability under the different factors of investigation. The proposed structural models of mini-helix contains N nucleobase pairs (N = 3-5); QM structural data suggest that the helical conformations of mini-helix adopt geometrical parameters comparable to those of natural A- and B-DNA forms under specific conditions as micro hydration and charge compensation. The gas-phase models adopt non regular conformations between the helical form and a ladder form.. The natural helical shape of DNA mini-helix is stabilized by the presence of counterions or by explicit micro-hydration of the major and minor groves. The presence of aqueous solution is shown as a minor factor for the helical shape formation. The studies are performed at the level of density functional theory.

PB12+ and P2B12+/0/-: The Novel B12 Cage Doped by Nonmetallic P Atoms.

Project description:A new kind of nonmetallic atom-doped boron cluster is described herein theoretically. When a phosphorus atom is added to the B12 motif and loses an electron, a novel B12 cage is obtained, composed of two B3 rings at both ends and one B6 ring in the middle, forming a triangular bifrustum. Interestingly, this B12 cage is formed by three B7 units joined together from three directions at an angle of 120°. When two P atoms are added to the B12 motif, this novel B12 cage is also obtained, and two P atoms are attached to the B3 rings at both ends of the triangular bifrustum, forming a triangular bipyramid (Johnson solid). Amazingly, the global minimums of neutral, monocationic, and monoanionic P2B12+/0/- have the same cage structure with a D3h symmetry; this is the smallest boron cage with the same structure. The P atom has five valence electrons, according to adaptive natural density partitioning bonding analyses of cage PB12+ and P2B12, in addition to one lone pair, the other three electrons of the P atom combine with an electron of each B atom on the B3 ring to form three 2c-2e σ bonds and form three electron sharing bonds with B atoms through covalent interactions, stabilizing the B12 cage. The calculated photoelectron spectra can be compared with future experimental values and provide a theoretical basis for the identification and confirmation of PnB12- (n = 1-2).

Productivity of Concentration-Dependent Conversion of Substitutional Nitrogen Atoms into Nitrogen-Vacancy Quantum Emitters in Synthetic-Diamond by Ultrashort Laser Pulses.

Project description:Tightly focused 515-nm, 0.3-ps laser pulses modify in a laser filamentation regime the crystalline structure of an Ib-type high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) synthesized diamond in a thin-plate form. The modified microregions (micromarks) in the yellow and colorless crystal zones, possessing different concentrations of elementary substitutional nitrogen (N) impurity atoms (C-centers), exhibit their strongly diminished local IR absorption (upon correction to the thickness scaling factor). Simultaneously, local visible-range (400-550 nm) absorption coefficients were increased, and photoluminescence (PL) yield was strongly enhanced in the broad range of 450-800 nm. The strong yellow-red PL enhancement saturates with laser exposure, implying the complete conversion of C-centers into nitrogen-vacancy (NV0,-) ones due to the laser-induced generation of Frenkel "interstitial-vacancy" I-V carbon pairs. The other emerging blue-green (>470 nm) and green-yellow (>500 nm) PL bands were also simultaneously saturated versus the laser exposure. The observed IR/optical absorption and PL spectral changes enlighten the ultrashort pulse laser inscription of NV0--based quantum-emitter centers in synthetic diamonds and enable the evaluation of the productivity of their inscription along with the corresponding I-V generation rates.

The reverse quantum limit and its implications for unconventional quantum oscillations in YbB12.

Project description:The quantum limit in a Fermi liquid, realized when a single Landau level is occupied in strong magnetic fields, gives rise to unconventional states, including the fractional quantum Hall effect and excitonic insulators. Stronger interactions in metals with nearly localized f-electron degrees of freedom increase the likelihood of these unconventional states. However, access to the quantum limit is typically impeded by the tendency of f-electrons to polarize in a strong magnetic field, consequently weakening the interactions. In this study, we propose that the quantum limit in such systems must be approached in reverse, starting from an insulating state at zero magnetic field. In this scenario, Landau levels fill in the reverse order compared to regular metals and are closely linked to a field-induced insulator-to-metal transition. We identify YbB12 as a prime candidate for observing this effect and propose the presence of an excitonic insulator state near this transition.

Chemical Characterization of a Volatile Dubnium Compound, DbOCl3.

Project description:The formation and the chemical characterization of single atoms of dubnium (Db, element 105), in the form of its volatile oxychloride, was investigated using the on-line gas phase chromatography technique, in the temperature range 350-600 °C. Under the exactly same chemical conditions, comparative studies with the lighter homologues of Group 5 in the Periodic Table clearly indicate the volatility sequence being NbOCl3 > TaOCl3 ≥ DbOCl3 . From the obtained experimental results, thermochemical data for DbOCl3 were derived. The present study delivers reliable experimental information for theoretical calculations on chemical properties of transactinides.

Quantum scattering of icosahedron fullerene C60 with noble-gas atoms.

Project description:There exist multiple ways to cool neutral molecules. A front runner is the technique of buffer gas cooling, where momentum-changing collisions with abundant cold noble-gas atoms cool the molecules. This approach can, in principle, produce the most diverse samples of cold molecules. We present quantum mechanical and semiclassical calculations of the elastic scattering differential cross sections and rate coefficients of the C60 fullerene with He and Ar noble-gas atoms in order to quantify the effectiveness of buffer gas cooling for this molecule. We also develop new three-dimensional potential energy surfaces for this purpose using dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) with counterpoise correction. The icosahedral anisotropy of the molecular system is reproduced by expanding the potential in terms of symmetry-allowed spherical harmonics. Long-range dispersion coefficients have been computed from frequency dependent polarizabilities of C60 and the noble-gas atoms. We find that the potential of the fullerene with He is about five times shallower than that with Ar. Anisotropic corrections are very weak for both systems and omitted in the quantum scattering calculations giving us a nearly quantitative estimate of elastic scattering observables. Finally, we have computed differential cross sections at the collision energies used in experiments by Han et al. (Chem Phys Lett 235:211, 1995), corrected for the sensitivity of their apparatus, and we find satisfactory agreement for C60 scattering with Ar.

Al5+αSi5+δN12, a new Nitride compound.

Project description:The family of III-Nitride semiconductors has been under intensive research for almost 30 years and has revolutionized lighting applications at the dawn of the 21st century. However, besides the developments and applications achieved, nitride alloys continue to fuel the quest for novel materials and applications. We report on the synthesis of a new nitride-based compound by using annealing of AlN heteroepitaxial layers under a Si-atmosphere at temperatures between 1350 °C and 1550 °C. The structure and stoichiometry of this compound are investigated by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques and energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX) spectroscopy. Results are supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The identified structure is a derivative of the parent wurtzite AlN crystal where the anion sublattice is fully occupied by N atoms and the cation sublattice is the stacking of 2 different planes along <0001>: The first one exhibits a ×3 periodicity along <11-20> with 1/3 of the sites being vacant. The rest of the sites in the cation sublattice are occupied by an equal number of Si and Al atoms. Assuming a semiconducting alloy, a range of stoichiometries is proposed, Al5+αSi5+δN12 with α being between -2/3 and 1/4 and δ between 0 and 3/4.

Non-metal boron atoms on a CuB12 monolayer as efficient catalytic sites for urea production.

Project description:An electrocatalytic C-N coupling reaction to convert CO2 and N2 into urea under mild conditions has been proposed to be a promising alternative experimentally, but the development of highly stable, low-cost and high-performance non-metal catalytic sites remains rare and challenging. Herein, a global-minimum CuB12 monolayer with superior stability has been identified based on first-principles computations, and the most significant finding is that the CuB12 monolayer possesses the best catalytic activity among the reported urea catalysts thermodynamically and kinetically. All possible reaction pathways to form urea (NH2CONH2) starting from the CO2 molecule and N2 molecule, including the CO2 pathway, OCOH pathway, CO pathway, NCON pathway and mixed pathway, as well as the kinetic energy barriers of six possible C-N coupling reactions are systematically investigated. Non-metal B atoms at the midpoint of the edges of the squares act as excellent catalytic sites with a limiting potential of urea production of 0.23 V through the CO2 pathway and OCOH pathway and the lowest kinetic energy barrier of C-N bond formation (0.54 eV) through the reaction *CO + *NHNH → *NHCONH. Therefore, this study not only identifies the first non-metal B catalytic sites for urea formation, but also perfects the reaction mechanism to convert CO2 and N2 into urea, which could provide great guiding significance to explore other high-performance urea catalysts.
