Electronic structure of mononuclear Cu-based molecule from density-functional theory with self-interaction correction

In this paper, we investigate the electronic structure of a planar mononuclear Cu-based molecule [Cu(C 6 H 4 S 2 ) 2 ] z in two oxidation states ( z = –2, –1) using density-functional theory (DFT) with Fermi–Löwdin orbital (FLO) self-interaction correction (SIC). The dianionic Cu-based molecule was proposed to be a promising qubit candidate. Self-interaction error within approximate DFT functionals renders severe delocalization of electron and spin densities arising from 3 d orbitals. The FLO-SIC method relies on optimization of Fermi–Löwdin orbital descriptors (FODs) with which localized occupied orbitals are constructed to create SIC potentials. Starting with many initial sets of FODs, we employ a frozen-density loop algorithm within the FLO-SIC method to study the Cu-based molecule. We find that the electronic structure of the molecule remains unchanged despite somewhat different final FOD configurations. In the dianionic state (spin S = 1/2), FLO-SIC spin density originates from the Cu d and S p orbitals with an approximate ratio of 2:1, in quantitative agreement with multireference calculations, while in the case of SIC-free DFT, the orbital ratio is reversed. Overall, FLO-SIC lowers the energies of the occupied orbitals and, in particular, the 3 d orbitals unhybridized with the ligands significantly, which substantially increases the energy gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) compared to SIC-free DFT results. The FLO-SIC HOMO–LUMO gap of the dianionic state is larger than that of the monoanionic state, which is consistent with experiment. Our results suggest a positive outlook of the FLO-SIC method in the description of magnetic exchange coupling within 3 d -element-based systems.

Metal oxide-promoted calcium cuprate catalysts for diol oxidative dehydrocyclization to lactones

Here, this work investigates structure-function relationships in electronically tunable, redox-active, basic Cu-Ca mixed metal oxide catalysts for oxidative dehydrocyclization of liquid diols to lactones. Compositional screening identified Ni 2+ and Zn 2+ as effective promoters that increase the surface Cu 2+ population by ∼1.7× and Cu-normalized activity for liquid 1,4-butanediol conversion to γ-butyrolactone by ∼3–4×. In situ Raman spectroscopy, in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), in situ diffuse-reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS), ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), and H 2 -temperature-programmed reduction (H 2 -TPR) show that Ni 2+ or Zn 2+ incorporation promotes the formation of Ca 0.82 Cu 1.00 O 2 nanoparticles under mild calcination conditions. This cuprate phase features stronger and shorter Cu–O bonds (1.90 Å) than inactive bulk CuO (1.95 Å) and square-planar Cu 2+ O 4 sites with enhanced d z2 electrophilicity, strengthening alkoxy adsorption. Pyridine-DRIFTS confirms the purely basic nature of the catalyst surface, while methanol-DRIFTS indicates Cu 2+ surface enrichment with Ni or Zn promotion, where Cu–O(Ca)–Cu sites can exist as amorphous domains or a truncation layer on crystalline nanoparticles.
