Determinants for proton location and electron coupled proton transfer in hydrogen bonded pentafluorophenol-anion clusters

This work aims to reveal the determinant factors for proton locations and electron coupled proton transfer (ECPT) in biologically relevant hydrogen bonded systems. Pentafluorophenol-anion clusters [C6F5O-•H+•A-]- are chosen to model active sites of biological functions, with the anion A- being systematically varied to ensure the proton affinities (PAs) of the anions well cover the referenced PA of C6F5O- from being appreciably smaller, similar, and to significantly larger. Negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy of these clusters provides spectroscopic evidence showing that proton location in the anionic state is largely following the PA prediction, while ECPT is observed only for the clusters with the anion possessing the electron binding energy (EBE) significantly larger than that of the referenced C6F5O-. Theoretical calculations suggest these clusters are stabilized by forming single strong hydrogen bond between donor and acceptor, and the associated charge and MO analyses fully support the experimental observations. The current holistic cluster model study indicates that PA is the right determinant that can be used to predict the proton location and describe hydrogen bonding structures, while both PA and EBE of anionic groups play important roles in facilitating ECPT process.

Au 3 -to-Ag 3 coordinate-covalent bonding and other supramolecular interactions with covalent bonding strength

An efficient strategy for designing charge-transfer complexes using coinage metal cyclic trinuclear complexes (CTCs) is described herein. Due to opposite quadrupolar electrostatic contributions from metal ions and ligand substituents, [Au(m-Pz-(i-C 3 H7) 2 )] 3 ∙[Ag(m-Tz-(n-C 3 F 7 ) 2 )] 3 (Pz = pyrazolate, Tz = triazolate) has been obtained and its structure verified by single crystal X-ray diffraction – representing the 1st crystallographically-verified M 3 @M' 3 stacked adduct of monovalent coinage metal CTCs. Abundant supramolecular interactions with aggregate covalent bonding strength arise from a combination of M–M' (Au / Ag), metal–π, π–π interactions and hydrogen bonding in this charge-transfer complex, according to density functional theory analyses, yielding a computed binding energy of 66 kcal mol -1 between the two trimer moieties – a large value for intermolecular interactions between adjacent d 10 centres (nearly doubling the value for a recently claimed Au(I) / Cu(I) polar-covalent bond: Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 2017, 114, E5042) – which becomes 87 kcal mol -1 with benzene stacking. Surprisingly, DFT analysis suggests that: (a) some other literature precedents should have attained a stacked M 3 @M' 3 product akin to the one herein, with similar or even higher binding energy; and (b) a high overall intertrimer bonding energy by inferior electrostatic assistance, underscoring genuine orbital overlap between M and M' frontier molecular orbitals in such polar-covalent M–M' bonds in this family of molecules. The Au / Ag bonding is reminiscent of classical Werner-type coordinate-covalent bonds such as H 3 N: → Ag in [Ag(NH 3 ) 2 ] + , as demonstrated herein quantitatively. Solidstate and molecular modeling illustrate electron flow from the p-basic gold trimer to the p-acidic silver trimer with augmented contributions from ligand-to-ligand’ (LL'CT) and metal-to-ligand (MLCT) charge transfer.

Quasiparticle self-consistent GW band structures and phase transitions of LiAlO 2 in tetrahedrally and octahedrally coordinated structures

In this work, a first-principles computational study is presented of various phases of LiAlO 2 . The relative total energies and equations of state of the α, β, and γ phases are determined after structural relaxation of each phase. The β and γ tetrahedral phases are found to be very close in energy and lattice volume with the γ phase having the lowest energy. The octahedral α phase is a high-pressure phase and the transition pressure from the γ and β phases to α is determined to be about 1 GPa. The electronic band structures of each phase at their own equilibrium volume are determined using the quasiparticle self-consistent (QS) GW method as well as using the 0.8 Σ approach in which the QS GW self-energy is reduced by a factor of 0.8 to correct for the underscreening of W in QS GW. The effective masses of the band edges and the nature of the band gaps are presented. The lowest energy γ phase is found to have a pseudodirect gap of 7.69 eV. The gap is direct at Γ but corresponds to a dipole forbidden transition. The imaginary part of the dielectric function and the absorption coefficient are calculated in the long-wavelength limit and the random phase approximation, without local field or electron-hole interaction effects for each phase, and their anisotropies are discussed. Si doping on the Al site is investigated as a possible n-type dopant in γ-LiAlO 2 using a 128-atom supercell corresponding to 3.125% Si on the Al sublattice in the generalized gradient approximation and a smaller 16-atom cell with 25% Si in the QS GW approximation. The Si is found to significantly perturb the conduction band and lower the gap but a clearly separated deep donor defect level is not found. However, the donor binding energy is still expected to be relatively deep, on the order of a few tenths eV in the hydrogenic effective mass approximation.

The physics of grain-grain collisions and gas-grain sputtering in interstellar shocks

Grain-grain collisions and ion sputtering destroy dust grains in interstellar shocks. An analytical theory is developed for the propagation of shock waves in solids driven by grain-grain collisions, which compares very favorably with detailed numerical calculations. This theory is used to determine the fraction of grain vaporized by a grain-grain collision. Our results predict much less vaporization of colliding grains in interstellar shocks than previous estimates. This theory can also be used to determine the fraction of a colliding grain that melts, shatter, or undergoes a phase transformation to a higher density phase. In particular, the latter two processes can be much more important in interstellar shocks than vaporization. The sputtering of grains by impacting gas ions is reanalyzed based upon extensive laboratory studies and a theoretically derived 'universal'sputtering relation. The analytical results are compared to available experimental studies of sputtering of graphite/amorphous carbon, SiO2, SiC, Fe, and H2O. Sputtering yields for astrophysically relevant materials as a function of impact energy and ion mass are derived. These yields are also averaged over thermal impact spectrum and simple polynomial fits to the resulting yields as a function of temperature are presented. The derived sputtering yields are similar to those adopted in previous studies, except for graphite near threshold where the new yields are much larger due to a lower adopted binding energy. The ion bombardment will amorphitize the surface layers of interstellar grains. It will also convert graphite into hydrogenated amorphous carbon (HAC) to a depth of 10-20 A. It is suggested that these HAC surfaces are the carriers of the 3.4 micrometer absorption feature in the interstellar medium.

Iterative redox activation promotes interfacial synergy in an Ag/Cu x O catalyst for oxygen reduction

In this study, an iterative electrochemical activation process is demonstrated to maximize the interface between Ag and Cu x O. Morphological reconstruction and phase transformation of Cu x O occurs through the iterative electrochemical redox reaction, as indicated by energy-dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The activated Ag/Cu x O/C catalysts exhibits enhanced oxygen reduction reaction performance, with an onset potential of 0.86 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode, a Tafel slope of 46mV dec -1 , and a high stability as compared to Ag/C. A mechanistic study using density functional theory shows that the weakened binding energy of the OH intermediate, originating from the charge transfer from Ag to Cu x O, improves the ORR activity at the interface sites of the Ag/Cu x O electrocatalysts. Ag/Cu x O shows a higher limiting potential of 0.14V for interface sites than isolated Ag nanoparticles. The interfacial charge transfer between Ag and CuO is verified experimentally.

Resolving the Impact of Hydrogen Bonding on the Phylloquinone Cofactor through Two-Dimensional Infrared Spectroscopy

Phylloquinone (PhQ) is a molecule involved in photosynthetic electron transfer, where the local protein environment is known to tune the properties of PhQ through various noncovalent interactions. In this work, we determine how hydrogen bonding, one of these noncovalent interactions, alters the vibrational potential energy surface of PhQ. In addition, this work demonstrates how hydrogen bonding to PhQ manifests in ultrafast multidimensional vibrational spectra, which is an important step towards using ultrafast vibrational based spectroscopies to probe PhQ embedded in the binding pocket of photosynthetic reaction centers.

Computational Optimization of Room Temperature Usable Capacity for Hydrogen Storage in MFU-4-Type Metal–Organic Frameworks via Pairwise Metal Substitutions

The efficient storage of hydrogen is a critical challenge in the quest for sustainable energy solutions. Current adsorbent-based methods achieve satisfactory storage densities predominantly under cryogenic temperatures and/or high pressures, which imposes problems with cost-efficient and safe implementation of this technology. Materials that can bind hydrogen gas reversibly at ambient temperatures and more moderate pressures could play a pivotal role in enabling hydrogen-powered technologies. In this study, we use reliable computational modeling to investigate two synthetically feasible paths for tuning the enthalpy of H2 binding in MFU-4-type metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), aiming to maximize usable capacity. This study examines MIM4 IICl3(bta)6 (bta– = benzotriazolate) Kuratowski-type clusters as a model for strong binding sites in MFU-4l frameworks. We systematically evaluate the impact of separately tuning the central MII metal ion (which plays a structural role) and the peripheral MI metal ion (which binds the substrate) on the energetics of H2 binding. Our computational study reveals that H2 binding at an MI site mostly follows the trend AgI < CuI < NiI < CoI < AuI while a larger central MII site generally weakens the H2 binding at a MI site. Importantly, we have identified three new combinations of MI and MII to achieve high fractional usable capacities of the total H2 adsorbed under a pressure swing from 5 to 100 bar at room temperature. Additionally, we examine the nature of the binding interaction between the peripheral metal atom and the hydrogen molecule. While charge transfer predominantly induces this interaction, for several atom combinations, a change in the polarization (associated with variations in the ionic radius of the MI binding atom) is another important factor for adjusting the strength of the interaction. We suggest that the proposed compositions of Kuratowski-type clusters are highly desirable synthetic targets for future laboratory study.

H2-rich interstellar grain mantles: An equilibrium description

Experiments simulating the codeposition of molecular hydrogen and water ice on interstellar grains demonstrate that amorphous water ice at 12 K can incorporate a substantial amount of H2, up to a mole ratio of H2/H2O = 0.53. We find that the physical behavior of approximately 80% of the hydrogen can be explained satisfactorily in terms of an equilibrium population, thermodynamically governed by a wide distribution of binding site energies. Such a description predicts that gas phase accretion could lead to mole fractions of H2 in interstellar grain mantles of nearly 0.3; for the probable conditions of WL5 in the rho Ophiuchi cloud, an H2 mole fraction of between 0.05 and 0.3 is predicted, in possible agreement with the observed abundance reported by Sandford, Allamandola, & Geballe. Accretion of gas phase H2 onto grain mantles, rather than photochemical production of H2 within the ice, could be a general explanation for frozen H2 in interstellar ices. We speculate on the implications of such a composition for grain mantle chemistry and physics.

Effects of Hydrogen Bonding on Nuclear Data Development of Liquid Anhydrous HF

Anhydrous Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) at high temperatures and pressures is used to process and manufacture nuclear fuel. As HF is often used directly with uranium, correct neutron thermal scattering cross sections are crucial to criticality safety applications. Classical molecular dynamics (CMD) simulation of the flexible HF system was used to create the thermal scattering law (TSL) and cross sections. The initial 2-site model is used in LAMMPS, and it can not capture the H-bond. To correctly represent the H-bond effects, a second, 3-site model was constructed in GROMACS. The 3-site model handled H-bonds by connecting a massless charge to the molecule. Key model parameters were compared to experimental data to verify the approach and models. To get the normalized VACF, the model was compared using hydrogen and fluorine bond length, density, potential energy, and diffusion coefficient. The phonon DOSs for both models were derived from the normalized VACF. DOSs were used to estimate the TSL ( S ( α, β )) and neutron thermal scattering cross sections for hydrogen in HF. The TSLs were evaluated using the FLASSH code with the Schofield diffusion model. It was observed that the representation of the hydrogen bonding changes the TSL's diffusional contributions. This is represented in the low energy scattering cross section, where intermolecular binding effects shift the cross section.

Potential energy surfaces of MH2 (M = Co, Fe, and Cu)

In many important catalytic processes, the dissociation of the hydrogen molecule is a fundamental step, and the chemisorption of dihydrogen by metal surfaces has been studied. However, quantitative results from theoretical treatments are not very encouraging. Blomberg and Siegbahn (1983) have found that the negative binding energy for NiH2 obtained with the aid of the commonly used Hartree-Fock approximation differs greatly from the result found on the basis of a more sophisticated calculation, including electron correlation. Another study showed the great importance of d orbitals in the dissociation process. A study, similar to the one on NH2, has been conducted for three other metals, including cobalt, iron, and copper. The present investigation is concerned with the results of this study. The potential surfaces of CoH2, FeH2, and CuH2 are discussed, taking into account the lowest atomic states, the bent low spin complex, the bent high spin saddle points, and the linear states.

Atomic Layer Deposition for Materials-Based H2 Storage: Opportunities and Limitations

The transportation demands in our growing hydrogen (H2) economy requires robust storage systems. The current commercially implemented technology in fuel cell cars relies on the well-established technology of hydrogen gas compressed to 350-700 bar, depending on the application. The compressed gas tanks in use today are bulky and cost intensive. To address this challenge, material-based storage is one of the long-term alternatives considered and constitutes the focus of this talk. Material-based storage is broadly defined as hydrogen bound to solid materials, with its binding strength varying from physisorption to porous materials, such as zeolites and metal organic frameworks, to chemisorption in (complex) metal hydrides. The ultimate targets set by the U.S. Department of Energy for this technology include a system gravimetric capacity of 6.5 wt% and volumetric capacity of 40 g/L at 100 bar, operating temperatures ranging between -40 C and +40 C and adsorption/desorption timescales of < 5 min. Storage in the form of physisorbed or chemisorbed hydrogen has guided the materials research, which metal- organic framework and (complex) metal hydrides being the most promising materials classes. A variety of these materials have met one or more of the targets, but it has remained elusive for a single material system to meet all these stringent requirements. Nano-encapsulation and low-concentration chemical additives have previously been employed separately to overcome such challenges. Functionalization via atomic layer deposition (ALD), however, offers unique characteristics that make it suitable for both, nano-encapsulation and "doping" with low-concentration additives. This deposition technique has sub-monolayer thickness control, is highly conformal in high-surface area materials and is self-limiting, i.e., once the gas-phase precursor reacts with the available surface sites, the surface reactions stop. In this presentation, we will showcase examples where ALD, more generally vapor-phase functionalization, on (complex) metal hydrides and organic frameworks has improved the material properties for H2 storage. In our first study, Al2O3 was deposited on magnesium borohydride, Mg(BH4)2, at room temperature using trimethylaluminum (TMA) and water. From our findings, encouraging initial results were obtained: the H2 desorption temperature was lowered by 60-120 degrees C, the desorbed gravimetric H2 capacity at temperatures < 250 degrees C was doubled, and the desorption kinetics increased by a factor of ~6 compared to uncoated Mg(BH4)2. However, hydrolysis reactions caused by residual surface -OH groups from the ALD water-pulse degraded the sample substantially. Through this study, the use of TMA was observed to be highly reactive with the Mg(BH4)2 surface species, leading to the strategy of exposing the sample only to TMA. The relative mole fraction of the vapor-phase additive can be precisely controlled with the number of TMA pulses and pulse duration. By tuning these parameters, we show in our second study that 10 pulses of TMA at ambient conditions were able to decrease the H2 desorption temperature by ~100 degrees C while retaining <95 % of its H2 capacity. We applied this approach with other additives such as BBr3, TiCl4 and tetrahydrofuran, and demonstrate that this unique approach opens the door to a new class of molecular additives and catalysts which cannot easily be introduced with conventional mechano-chemical or solvent-based techniques for (complex) metal-hydrides. In the case of metal organic frameworks, ALD is a promising technique to functionalize the pores with metal atoms or functional groups able to tune the gas selectivity and binding energy, for which ~15 kJ/mol has been established as the optimal value for H2 storage in sorbent materials. Vapor-phase techniques such as ALD have numerous benefits over other functionalization tools for H2 storage materials opening innumerable opportunities to the field. To exploit these opportunities, the current limitations on room temperature and water-less ALD processes needs to be overcome which will greatly expand the possibilities of encapsulation and incorporation of additives for organic frameworks and (complex) metal hydrides.

Atomistic Insight into Cation Effects on Binding Energies in Cu-Catalyzed Carbon Dioxide Reduction

Electrolyte properties in general and electrolyte ions in particular have been shown to have significant effects on the kinetics of electrochemical CO 2 and CO reduction at metal electrodes, but these effects have not yet been fully understood. Here, we investigate the effects of cations at the aqueous electrolyte–Cu(211) interface on adsorbate binding energies and the electrolyte structure using density functional theory (DFT). Charging the interface via explicit Na + has systematic effects on adsorbate–electrolyte interactions and conformations. We describe specific local adsorbate–ion interactions, including direct alkali ion–adsorbate coordination and hydrogen bonding via ion-coordinated water molecules. The relative importance of these specific interactions and purely electrostatic field–adsorbate interactions is investigated by comparing the DFT-calculated ion effects to those predicted by purely electrostatic models of the interface and the adsorbates. We find that the trend in ion effects among different adsorbates at constant surface charge density is well explained by a purely electrostatic interaction model. The binding energy of OCCHO is found to depend strongly on the surface charge density as well as the spatial distribution of ions at constant surface charge density. These effects are also explained by a purely electrostatic local electrostatic field–adsorbate model. This indicates that alkali ion effects can be mainly attributed to purely electrostatic field interactions and that the local field at ion-stabilized active sites can depend significantly on both the overall charge density and on the spatial distribution of ions at constant charge density. This work provides new insight on alkali ion effects on a variety of adsorbates relevant to the CO 2 and CO reduction reactions by describing specific local ion–adsorbate interactions, systematic changes in adsorbate–electrolyte interactions induced by explicit surface charge, and comparisons of the calculated effects on binding energies to simple electrostatic field–adsorbate models to explain trends among various adsorbates and at varying surface charge densities and supercell configurations.

Field emission energy distributions of hydrogen and deuterium on the /100/ and /110/ planes of tungsten.

Total energy distributions of field emitted electrons from the tungsten (110) and (100) planes as a function of coverage by hydrogen and deuterium have been recorded utilizing a spherical deflection energy analyzer. The elastic tunneling resonance spectrum gives a plot of the 'local density of states' in the adsorbate. The inelastic tunneling spectrum reveals those discrete excitation energies available in the adsorbate-substrate complex. These spectroscopic data have been used to infer the chemical nature of the binding states which have been observed in the flash desorption spectrum of hydrogen from tungsten.

Nanoconfinement of Molecular Magnesium Borohydride Captured in a Bipyridine-Functionalized Metal-Organic Framework

The lower limit of metal hydride nanoconfinement is demonstrated through the coordination of a molecular hydride species to binding sites inside the pores of a metal-organic framework (MOF). Magnesium borohydride, which has a high hydrogen capacity, is incorporated into the pores of UiO-67bpy (Zr6O4(OH)4(bpydc)6 with bpydc2- = 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'- dicarboxylate) by solvent impregnation. The MOF retained its long-range order, and transmission electron microscopy and elemental mapping confirmed the retention of the crystal morphology and revealed a homogeneous distribution of the hydride within the MOF host. Notably, the B-, N-, and Mg-edge XAS data confirm the coordination of Mg(II) to the N atoms of the chelating bipyridine groups. In situ 11B MAS NMR studies helped elucidate the reaction mechanism and revealed that complete hydrogen release from Mg(BH4)2 occurs as low as 200 °C. Sieverts and thermogravimetric measurements indicate an increase in the rate of hydrogen release, with the onset of hydrogen desorption as low as 120 °C, which is approximately 150 °C lower than that of the bulk material. Furthermore, density functional theory calculations support the improved dehydrogenation properties and confirm the drastically lower activation energy for B-H bond dissociation.

Atomic binding corrections for high-energy fixed target experiments

High-energy beams incident on a fixed target may scatter against atomic electrons. To a first approximation, one can treat these electrons as free and at rest. For precision experiments, however, it is important to be able to estimate the size of, and when necessary calculate, subleading corrections. We discuss atomic binding corrections to relativistic lepton-electron scattering. We analyze hydrogen in detail, before generalizing our analysis to multi-electron atoms. Using the virial theorem, and many-body sum rules, we find that the corrections can be reduced to measured binding energies, and the expectation value of a single one-body operator. We comment on the phenomenological impact for neutrino flux normalization and an extraction of hadronic vacuum polarization from elastic muon electron scattering at MUonE.

Mechanisms of adsorbing hydrogen gas on metal decorated graphene

Hydrogen is a key player in global strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In order to make hydrogen a widely used fuel, we require more efficient methods of storing it than the current standard of pressurized cylinders. An alternative method is to adsorb H 2 in a material and avoid the use of high pressures. Among many potential materials, layered materials such as graphene present a practical advantage as they are lightweight. However, graphene and other 2D materials typically bind H 2 too weakly to store it at the typical operating conditions of a hydrogen fuel cell, meaning that high pressure would still be required. Modifying the material, for example by decorating graphene with adatoms, can strengthen the adsorption energy of H 2 molecules, but the underlying mechanisms are still not well understood. In this work, we systematically screen alkali and alkaline-earth metal decorated graphene sheets for the static thermodynamic adsorption of hydrogen gas from first principles and focus on the mechanisms of binding. We show that there are three mechanisms of adsorption on metal decorated graphene and each leads to distinctly different hydrogen adsorption structures. The three mechanisms can be described as weak van der Waals physisorption, metal adatom facilitated polarization, and Kubas adsorption. Among these mechanisms, we find that Kubas adsorption is easily perturbed by an external electric field, providing a way to tune H 2 adsorption. In conclusion, this work is foundational and builds our understanding of H 2 adsorption under idealized conditions.
