Molecular Mechanics Study of Nickel(II) Octaethylporphyrin Adsorbed on Graphite(0001)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of adsorption on the graphite(0001) surface on the nonplanar distortions of nickel(II)octaethylporphyrin were studied by molecular mechanics (MM) approach. Using the Consistent Force Field (CFF) program with previously developed parameters for metalloporphyrins and supplemented to treat intermolecular interactions geometry optimizations were carried out for 43 conformations of 28 distinct conformers of nickel(II)octaethylporphyrin. The stable energy-minimized conformers were stereochemically characterized, analyzed by the Normal-coordinate Structural Decomposition (NSD) method and compared with the available theoretical and experimental data for the isolated nickel(II)octaethylporphyrin structures.

Surface directed reversible imidazole ligation to nickel(ii) octaethylporphyrin at the solution/solid interface: a single molecule level study.
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is used to study for the first time the reversible binding of imidazole (Im) and nickel(ii) octaethylporphyrin (NiOEP) supported on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) at the phenyloctane/NiOEP/HOPG interface at 25 °C. The ligation of Im to the NiOEP receptor while not observed in fluid solution is readily realized at the solution/HOPG interface. The co...

A simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method for determination of trace amounts of Co(II) in water samples is presented. Isocyanate treated graphite oxides (iGOs) solid phase extraction adsorbent was synthesized by covalently isocyanate onto the surfaces of graphite oxides. The stability of a chemically (iGOs) especially in concentrated hydrochloric acid which was then used as a re...

متن کاملDissociative adsorption of atmospheric molecules at vacancies on the graphite (0001) surface of samples exposed to plasma
The quantum Density Functional Theory (DFT) model of a single atom vacancy on the basal graphite surface is first validated through comparison of the theoretical vibrational spectra of the fully hydrogenated defect with the corresponding High Resolution Energy Loss Spectroscopy (HREELS) spectra. We then proceed to investigate atmospheric molecules adsorption on vacancy defects on the (0001) gra...
