[ 1 ] - pKa predictions of some aniline derivatives by ab initio calculations
: In this work, different levels of theory containing HF, B3LYP, and MP2 with different basis sets such as 6-31G, 6-31G*, 6-311G, 6-311+G, 6-31+G*, 6-31+G are used to predict relative acidity constants of some aniline derivatives. Three different kinds of radii containing UAHF, Bondi, and Pauling are used to study how cavity forms change acidity constants. In all cases, DPCM model is used to si...
[ 2 ] - DFT Study on Oxygen-Vacancy Stability in Rutile/Anatase TiO2: Effect of Cationic Substitutions
In this study, a full-potential density functional theory was used to investigate the effects of Ti substitution by different cations. In both rutile and anatase, Ti atom was replaced by Ce, Au, Sn, Ag, Mo, Nb, Zr, and Y. Phase stability, electronic structure and formation energy of oxygen vacancy were compared for rutile and anatase. The results indicated that substitution of Ce and Zr increas...
[ 3 ] - The Effect of Cu Impurity on the CO-dissociation Mechanism on the Fe (100) Surface: A Full Potential DFT Study
In this study, the theoretical calculations of CO dissociation were carried out on Cu-Fe alloy surface by a full-potential method, which made more accurate results especially on the prediction of adsorption energies. This process may be governed by either a direct route or a H-assisted via HCO and COH intermediates pathways. In comparison to the pure surface Fe (100), the presence of Cu atom en...
[ 4 ] - DFT-PBE, DFT-D, and MP2 Studies on the H2O•••HNH and HOH•••NH2 Hydrogen Bonds in Water-Aniline Complexes
DFT-GGA method of Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) is used with aug-cc-PVTZ, 6-311++G**, and Def2-TZVP large basis sets to study the hydrogen bond interactions between oxygen lone pair as a donor electron with hydrogen atom connected to the aniline’s nitrogen as an electron acceptor (H2O···HNH-Ph), and nitrogen lone pair with hydrogen of water molecule (Ph-H2N···HOH...
[ 5 ] - The simultaneous effect of 3d impurities of transition metals and oxygen vacancy defect on TiO2 anatase and rutile
In this work, the formation of oxygen-vacancy defect in 3d metals-doped TiO2 anatase and rutile structures is first investigated. The systematic calculations of formation energy, crystalline stability, band structure and density of state (DOS) of TiO2 samples of anatase and rutile doped with 3d transition metals with and without oxygen defect is done using FHI-aims as a software package based o...
