[ 1 ] - Microsolvation of NO2+ in Helium: An Ab Initio Study on NO2+-Hen Clusters (n ≤ 7)

      In this study, the interaction between NO2+ cation and Hen (n = 1-7) clusters is investigated by means of ab initio calculations at MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ and QCISD/aug-cc-pVTZ computational levels. The first and second solvation shells were obtained while N atom of NO2+ interacts with five and two He atoms, respectively. Stabilizat...

[ 2 ] - Interplay Between Lithium Bonding and Halogen Bonding in F3CX•••YLi•••NCCN and F3CX•••NCCN•••LiY Complexes (X = Cl, Br; Y = CN, NC)

MP2 calculations with cc-pVTZ basis set were used to analyze intermolecular interactions in F3CX···YLi···NCCN and F3CX···NCCN···LiY triads (X = Cl, Br; Y = CN, NC) which are connected via halogen and lithium bonds. Those complexes with the role of LiY as halogen acceptor and lithium donor show cooperativity with energy values ranging between -1.97 and -2.92 kJ mol...

[ 3 ] - A theoretical survey on strength and characteristics of F•••F, Br•••O and Br•••Br interactions in solid phase

A quantum chemical investigation was carried out to study the properties of intermolecular F•••F, Br•••Br and Br•••O interactions in crystalline 1-bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-nitrobenzene (BFNB). This system was selected to mimic the halogen-halogen as well as halogen bonding interactions found within crystal structures as well as within biological systems. We found that fluorine atoms have weak ...

[ 4 ] - بررسی نظری احیای گاز NO بر روی نانوقفس های B12N12 و B11N12C

امروزه آلودگی هوا یکی از مهم­ ترین مشکل ­های زیست محیطی است که بیش ­تر کشورهای در حال توسعه با آن روبرو هستند. در این مطالعه، با استفاده از محاسبه­ های نظریه ی تابعیت چگالی، مکانیسم احیای گاز NO بر روی بسترهای B12N12 و B11N12C بررسی می شود. مسیر پیشنهادی برای این مکانیسم به­ صورت ...
