Due to its unique mechanical properties, graphene can be applied for reinforcement in nanocomposites. We analyse the Young's modulus of graphene at the semi-empirical PM6 level of theory. The internal forces are calculated and the Young's modulus is predicted for a finite graphene sheet when external strain is applied on the system. These results are in a good agreement with theoretical and experimental results from the literature giving values of about 1 TPa for the Young's modulus. Stress-strain curves are computed for elongation up to 20%. In addition, the influence of the presence of a single vacancy, as well as for oxygenation of a vacancy, on the mechanical properties of graphene has been analysed. Our results indicate that when applying the deformation locally onto the system, higher local stress can be induced, as confirmed by Finite Element Analysis. Also, the presence of structural defects in the system will stiffen the system upon low strain, but reduces the elastic limit from more than 20% strain for pristine graphene to less than 10% strain when defects are present.

Understanding the Reactivity of Supported Late Transition Metals on a Bare Anatase (101) Surface: A Periodic Conceptual DFT Investigation

Xavier Deraet, Jan Turek, Mercedes Alonso, Frederik Tielens, Bert M. M. Weckhuysen, Monica Calatayud, Frank De Proft

Summary: This paper investigates the adsorption behavior of single late transition metals on a defect-free anatase surface using periodic density functional theory calculations. The results reveal that the interaction strength between the transition metals and the support can be attributed to electron transfer, s-d orbital hybridization effects, or a synergistic effect between both factors. Palladium shows deviating adsorption behavior, which is likely associated with the lower dissociation enthalpy of the Pd-O bond. The reactivity of these systems is evaluated using the Fermi weighted density of states approach, and a model is proposed to predict the adsorption strength of CO on anatase-supported d-metal atoms.

Origins of the Reactivity in 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions of Acyl Isocyanide Ylides

Javier E. Alfonso-Ramos, Ruben Van Lommel, David Hernandez-Castillo, Frank De Proft, Roy Gonzalez-Aleman, Erik V. Van der Eycken, Gerardo M. Ojeda-Carralero

Summary: 3-Dipolar cycloadditions are commonly used to form five-membered heterocycles, but the cycloadditions involving acyl-isocyanide ylides have not been well explored by the chemical community. In this study, we investigated the mechanistic features of the reaction between acyl-isocyanide ylides and dipolarophiles using density functional theory calculations. We explained the experimental results and predicted opposite regioselectivity for electron-poor and electron-rich dipolarophiles. This study provides insights for the design of new cycloaddition reactions based on the acyl-isocyanide ylides motif.

The Halogen Bond in Weakly Bonded Complexes and the Consequences for Aromaticity and Spin-Orbit Coupling

Ana V. Cunha, Remco W. A. Havenith, Jari van Gog, Freija De Vleeschouwer, Frank De Proft, Wouter Herrebout

Summary: In this study, the interaction between the halogen atom X and the aromatic ring in the halogen bond complexes CF(3)Xmiddot middot middot Y and C(2)F(3)Xmiddot middot middot Y (with Y = furan, thiophene, selenophene and X = Cl, Br, I) was investigated using DFT and CCSD(T) methods. It was found that the interaction with the pi-bonds in a perpendicular orientation is stronger than the interaction with the in-plane lone pairs of the heteroatom of the aromatic cycle. The interaction energy is dominated by electrostatic, orbital, and dispersion interactions, and the strength of the interaction follows the trend Cl < Br < I.

Stephen E. Brown, Ioanna Mantaloufa, Ryan T. Andrews, Thomas J. Barnes, Martin R. Lees, Frank De Proft, Ana V. Cunha, Sebastian D. Pike

Summary: The molecular titanium-oxo cluster [Ti6O6((OPr)-Pr-i)(6)((O2CBu)-Bu-t)(6)] (1) can be activated by UV light to produce a mixed valent (photoreduced) Ti (iii/iv) cluster, along with alcohol and ketone organic products. Mechanistic studies show a two-electron mechanism utilizing the cluster structure for multielectron reactions. The photoreduced products [Ti6O6((OPr)-Pr-i)(4)((O2CBu)-Bu-t)(6)(sol)(2)] can be isolated and characterized, and undergo onward oxidation under air. The redox reactivity described is only possible in a cluster with multiple Ti sites.

Mechanistic Study and Conceptual Chemical Reactivity Analysis of Hydroboration of Carbon Dioxide Catalyzed by a Manganese(I)-PNP-Pincer Complex

Bin Wang, Chunying Rong, Ming Lei, Shubin Liu, Frank De Proft

Summary: Designing efficient and selective catalysts for carbon dioxide reduction is an active area of research in homogeneous catalysis. In this study, the catalytic activity of a newly reported Mn(I)-PNP-pincer catalyst with an embedded aromatic ring is investigated. The study systematically examines the catalyst's capability to yield different products and explores the importance of ligand aromaticity and steric effects on metal-ligand cooperativity. The reactivity of the catalyst is probed using conceptual density functional theory and an information-theoretic approach, leading to a novel partitioning of the reaction coordinate into three relevant regions. The results demonstrate that different properties govern the reactivity in these different regions, such as steric effects, electrophilicity/nucleophilicity, or aromaticity. The methodology and analytical tools employed in this study have the potential to be generalized and extended to other catalytic systems, offering insights towards designing improved catalysts.

Can we predict ambident regioselectivity using the chemical hardness?

Ramon Alain Miranda-Quintana, Alberto Vela, Frank De Proft, Marco Martinez Gonzalez, Jose L. Gazquez

Summary: The hard/soft acid/base (HSAB) principle is fundamental to understanding chemical reactivity preferences. However, the local HSAB principle often fails in making accurate predictions for regioselectivity preferences. By considering both the charge transferred between reacting centers and the charge reorganization within non-reacting parts of the molecule, we propose different reorganization models and corresponding regioselectivity rules.

J. Eeckhoudt, T. Bettens, P. Geerlings, R. Cammi, B. Chen, M. Alonso, F. De Proft

Summary: High pressure chemistry offers possibilities for controlling chemical reactivity, developing new materials, and fine-tuning chemical properties. However, the focus has primarily been on volume changes and thermodynamics, neglecting the electronic effects at the molecular scale. This study combines the DFT framework with the XP-PCM method to analyze the effects of high pressure on chemical properties. The results reveal the relationship between pressure and various properties, such as ionization potential, electron affinity, electronegativity, chemical hardness, softness, and electron density. The findings provide insights into the periodic trends and correlations between these properties under pressure.

Insights into the multi-functional lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate additive in boosting the Li-ion reaction kinetics for Li3VO4 anodes

Miaomiao Zhang, Cunyuan Pei, Qiqi Xiang, Lintao Liu, Zhongxu Dai, Huijuan Ma, Shibing Ni

Summary: The design of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a crucial role in improving the electrochemical performance of anode materials. In this study, lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) is used as an electrolyte additive to form a protective SEI film on Li3VO4 (LVO) anodes. The addition of LiDFOB results in a dense, uniform, stable, and LiF-richer SEI, which enhances the Li-ion storage kinetics. The generated SEI also prevents further decomposition of the electrolyte and maintains the morphology of LVO anodes during charge/discharge processes. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of LiDFOB as a multi-functional additive for LiPF6 electrolytes and provides insights into SEI construction for high-performance LVO anodes.

ClO-driven degradation of graphene oxide: new insights from DFT calculations

S. L. Romo-Avila, D. Marquez-Ruiz, R. A. Guirado-Lopez

Summary: In this study, we used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the interaction between model graphene oxide (GO) nanostructures and chlorine monoxide ClO. We aimed to understand the role of this highly oxidizing species in breaking C-C bonds and forming significant holes on GO sheets. Our results showed that C-C bonds in a single graphene oxide sheet can be broken through a simple mechanism involving the dissociation of two chemically attached ClO molecules. The formation of carbonyl groups and holes on the GO surface was also observed. This study provides important insights into the degradation of carbon nanotubes and the stability of GO during the myeloperoxidase (MPO) catalytic cycle.

Composition dependence of X-ray stability and degradation mechanisms at lead halide perovskite single crystal surfaces

Alberto Garcia-Fernandez, Birgit Kammlander, Stefania Riva, Hakan Rensmo, Ute B. Cappel

Summary: In this study, the X-ray stability of five different lead halide perovskite compositions (MAPbI3, MAPbCl3, MAPbBr3, FAPbBr3, CsPbBr3) was investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. Different degradation mechanisms and resistance to X-ray were observed depending on the crystal composition. Overall, perovskite compositions based on the MA+ cation were found to be less stable than those based on FA+ or Cs+. Metallic lead formation was most easily observed in the chloride perovskite, followed by bromide, and very little in MAPbI3. Multiple degradation processes were identified for the bromide compositions, including ion migration, formation of volatile and solid products, as well as metallic lead. CsBr was formed as a solid degradation product on the surface of CsPbBr3.

Summary: The stability of La1/3Sr2/3Fe1-xMnxO3-delta, a perovskite-type oxide, under reducing conditions is dependent on the manganese content. Increasing the manganese content leads to a decrease in stability. The behavior of iron and manganese in the oxide shows distinct differences, which can be attributed to the difference in the enthalpy of oxidation reactions. Additionally, the change in the La/Sr ratio affects the concentration of iron and manganese ions.
