Recent progress has been made in the reductive debromination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) by nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI). To better understand the mechanism of this reaction, seven selected BDE congeners and their anions were investigated at the density functional theory (DFT) level using four different methods, including B3LYP/6-31G(d), B3LYP/6-31+G(d), B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) and ...

In the present work, the structural and electronic properties, and conductivity of (5,5) and (6,6) Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes in the ground state have done by using the Hartree-Fock and density functional theory DFT-B3LYP/6-31G* level. Delocalization of charge density between the bonding or lone pair and antibonding orbitals calculated by NBO (natural bond orbital) analysis. These methods a...

First-principle calculations were carried out to investigate the adsorption of CO over Cun nanoclusters. The structural, spectroscopic and electronic properties like optimized geometries, HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) and LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) energy levels, binding energy, adsorption energy, vibrational frequency and density of states (DOSs) of the p...

We argue that the bonding or antibonding character of electronic states a substrate can influence significantly observed scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) spectra. In particular, formed by nonorthogonal orbitals present much stronger extension in vacuum compared to corresponding combinations and are therefore more visible STM experiments. A clear example is provided black phosphorus (BP), whi...

in present study, the density functional theory (dft-b3lyp) method with svp basis set was used for optimizing and studying the electronic structural properties of cis and trans isomers of bis-(5-nitro-2h-tetrazolato-n2) tetraammine cobalt (iii) perchlorate (bncp) as powerful explosives at 298.15 k temperature and 1 atmosphere pressure. and also, natural bond orbital (nbo) population analysis an...
