Study of Dehydrogenation of Pressure-induced NaBH4 Structures Using Calculated NQCC Parameters
Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectroscopy is an accurate method for determination of electric charge distribution around quadrupolar nuclei. Using ab initio computational methods, it is possible to calculate the Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants (NQCCs) with high accuracy and obtain the useful structural information by using these parameters. Sodium Borohydride, NaBH4, is a metal hydr...
متن کاملAb initio (first principle) material modeling study on Lio adsorbed by palladium-cobalt (PdCo) nanoparticles
PdCo subnanoalloys have been commonly used as a catalytic material in some important chemicalreactions, involving in fisher-tropsch reactions, and oxygen reduction reactions. In terms ofunderstanding the role of catalysis, these smallest bimetallic nanoparticles provide the simplestprototypes of Pd-Co bimetallic catalysts for different compositions. In this study, the effect o...
متن کاملA theoretical study of benzaldehyde derivatives as tyrosinase inhibitors using Ab initio calculated NQCC parameters
Tyrosinase is a multifunctional copper-containing enzyme. It can catalyze two distinct reactions of melanin synthesis and benzaldehyde derivatives, which are potential tyrosinase inhibitors. To find the relationships between charge distributions of benzaldehyde and their pharmaceutical behavior, the present study aimed at investigating nuclear quadrupole coupling constants of quadrupolare nucl...
متن کاملEvolutionary Crystal Structure Prediction and Novel High-pressure Phases
Prediction of stable crystal structures at given pressure-temperature conditions, based only on the knowledge of the chemical composition, is a central problem of condensed matter physics. This extremely challenging problem is often termed “crystal structure prediction problem”, and recently developed evolutionary algorithm USPEX (Universal Structure Predictor: Evolutionary Xtallography) made a...
