We report the synthesis of penicillamine-protected Ag20 nanoclusters (NCs), with properties of high monodispersity, red fluorescence and water solubility. Full characterization of the Ag20 NCs is addressed, along with first-principles optimization calculations, revealing the chemical composition and structure of the as-prepared Ag NCs within a molecular formula [Ag20(DPA)18-H]-. Moreover, natur...

Ab initio computation is performed on the binuclear sandwich complexes, M2(?5-Sb5)2. Eclipsed and staggered conformations are generated due to ?5 mode of binding by Sb5- ligand with alkaline earth metals (Be Mg metals). The complexes thermodynamically stable at room temperature. electron density descriptors natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis confirmed covalent nature M-M bond. Both Be2(?5-Sb5)...

to calculation non-bonded interaction of the [cocl6]3- complex embedded in nano ring, we focus on the single wall boron-nitride b18n18 nano ring. thus, the geometry of b18n18 nano ring has been optimized by b3lyp method with epr-ii (electron paramagnetic resonance) basis set and geometry of the [cocl6]3- complex has been optimized at b3lyp method with aldrich’s vtz basis set and stuttgart rsc 1...

The photocatalytic activity of meso-tetraphenylporphyrins with different metal centers (Fe, Co, Mn and Cu) adsorbed on TiO(2) (Degussa P25) surface has been investigated by carrying out the photodegradation of methyl orange (MO) under visible and ultraviolet light irradiation. The photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), diffuse reflectan...

the influence of cation-π interactions on the strength and nature of intramolecular o...h hydrogen bond has been investigated by quantum chemical calculations in orthohydroxy benzaldehyde (hba) compound. ab initio calculations have been performed at mp2/6-311++g** level of theory. vibrational frequencies and physical properties such as chemical potential and chemical hardness of these compounds...

In this study, electronic structures of ground state of pure vanadium sub-nano clusters, Vn (n=2-5), and their interactions with small ligands for example CO and triplet O2 molecules are investigated by using density functional theory (DFT) calibration at the mPWPW91/QZVP level of theory. The favorable orientations of these ligands in interaction with pure vanadium sub-nano clusters were determ...

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...

The Density Functional Theory (DFT) and the Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) calculations basedmethod B3LYP/6-31G* were carried out to study the interaction of carbon nanotube (8,0) withnitrobenzene in two situations perpendicular and parallel. Formation energies of compounds,charges, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular'orbital (LUMO) and the HOMO-LUMO ba...
