in this research dft/b3lyp method has been employed to investigate the geometrical structures,relative stabilities, and electronic properties of cun (n=3–10) clusters for clarifying the effect of sizeon the properties. through a careful analysis of the successive binding energies, second-orderdifference of energy and the highest occupied-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gaps as afunct...

separation and capture of carbon dioxide from the flue gas of power plants in order to reduceenvironmental damages has always been of interest to researchers. in this study, aqueous solution ofmethylamine was used as an absorbent for co2 capture. in order to study this reaction, densityfunctional theory (dft) was employed at the level of b3lyp/6-311++g(d,p) by using theconductor-like polarizabl...

in this work, the structural and electronic properties of folic acid molecule on functionalized (7,0)zigzag single-walled carbon nanotube was studied in gas phase on the basis of density functionaltheory (dft). furthermore, covalent interaction of folic acid with single-walled carbon nanotube wasinvestigated and its quantum molecular descriptors and binding energies were calculated. the dftb3ly...

The possible relation between the properties of six commercial carbons and their gasification rates with carbon dioxide a t a series of temperatures between 900 and 1300” has been investigated. The following properties of the carbons have been determined: yantitative and qualitative ash analyses, hydrogen content, interlayer spacing, average crystallite size, true and apparent ensity, porosity,...

Ground state geometries have been computed using Density Functional Theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. The excitation energies and spectroscopic parameters have been computed using Long range Corrected (LC) hybrid functional by Time Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) with LC-BLYP level of theory. The Polarizable Continuum Model (PC...

we have performed a density functional theory investigation on the structural and electronic properties of pristine and nitrogen-doped tio2 anatase nanoparticles as the adsorbents for removal and degradation of hydrazine molecules in the environment. we have presented the most stable adsorption configurations and examined the interaction of hydrazine molecule with these doped and undoped nanopa...

importance of covalent bonded two-dimensional monolayer nanostructures and also hydrocarbons is undeniably responsible for creation of new fascinating materials like polyphenylene polymer, a hydrocarbon super honeycomb network, so-called porous graphene. the mechanical properties of porous graphene such as its young’s modulus, poisson’s ratio and the bulk modulus as the determinative properties...

tetrahedrane is most strained and the smallest cage compound. it attracts organic chemists because ofits unusual bonding nature and highly symmetrical structure. however, many efforts to isolate theparent tetrahedrane have been unsuccessful because of the high reactivity and very short lifetimecaused by the strain in this molecule. modeling of molecules for determination of structuralproperties...

in this paper, we used quantum chemical approach to shed light on the catalytic mechanism of γ-carbonic anhydrase (γ-ca) to convert carbon dioxide to bicarbonate ion. density functional theory (dft) using b3lyp and ub3lyp functional and three split-valance including 6-31g*, 6-311g** and 6-311++g** basis sets were used to calculate the details of electronic structure and electronic energy of act...
