Abstract
The unsaturated amides are traditionally synthesized by acylation of carboxylic acids or hydration of nitrile compounds but are rarely investigated by hydroaminocarbonylation of alkynes using heterogeneous single-metal-site catalysts (HSMSCs). Herein, single-Pd-site catalysts supported on N-doping carbon (NC) with different nitrogen dimensions inherited from corresponding metal-organic-framework precursors are successfully synthesized. 2D NC-supported single-Pd-site (Pd1/NC-2D) exhibited the best performance with near 100% selectivity and 76% yield of acrylamide for acetylene hydroaminocarbonylation with better stability, superior to those of Pd1/NC-3D, single-metal-site/nanoparticle coexisting catalyst, and nanoparticle catalyst. The coordination environment and molecular evolution of the single-Pd-site during the process of acetylene hydroaminocarbonylation on Pd1/NC-2D are detailly illuminated by various characterizations and density functional theoretical calculations (DFT). DFT also showed the energy barrier of rate-determining step on Pd1/NC-2D is lower than that of Pd1/NC-3D. Furthermore, Pd1/NC-2D catalyst illustrated the general applicability of the hydroaminocarbonylation for various alkynes.

Abstract
The effects of charging on the magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) of rhenium atom in nitrogenized-divacancy graphene (Re@NDV) are investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. High-stability and large MAE of 71.2 meV are found in Re@NDV. The more exciting finding is that the magnitude of MAE of a system can be tuned by charge injection. Moreover, the easy magnetization direction of a system may also be controlled by charge injection. The controllable MAE of a system is attributed to the critical variation in dz2 and dyz of Re under charge injection. Our results show that Re@NDV is very promising in high-performance magnetic storage and spintronics devices.

Abstract
Using the dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D3) method, we systematically studied the adsorption of 15 kinds of transition-metal (TM) clusters on pristine graphene (Gr) and N-doped graphene (N-Gr). It has been found that TMn (n = 1-4) clusters adsorbed on the N-Gr surface are much stronger than those on the pristine Gr surface, while 3d series clusters present similar geometries on Gr and N-Gr surfaces. The most preferred sites of TMs migrate from hollow to bridge to the top site on the Gr surface along the d series in the periodic table, while the preferred sites of TMs migrate in a much more complex manner on the N-Gr surface. It has also been found that charge transfer decreases along the d series for adsorbed clusters on both surfaces, but adsorbed clusters present less charge transfer on the N-Gr surface than on the Gr surface. What is more interesting is that some TM (Tc, Ru, and Re) clusters change the growth mechanism from the three-dimensional (3D) growth mode on the Gr surface to the two-dimensional (2D) growth mode on the N-Gr surface. At last, it has been found that adsorbed clusters are more dispersed on the N-Gr surface than on the pristine Gr surface due to growth and average aggregation energies.

Abstract
The amorphous silica (SiO2) shell on diatom frustules is a highly attractive biomaterial for removing pollutants from aquatic ecosystems. The surface activity of silica can be enhanced by modification with organosilanes. In this work, we present an atomic-level theoretical study based on molecular dynamics and dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculations on the surface stability and adsorption of heavy metal (HM) compounds on silane- and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)-covered SiO2 surfaces. Our simulations show that at low APTES coverage, the molecular adsorption of Cd(OH)2 and HgCl2 is more favorable near the modifier, compared to As(OH)3 that binds at the hydroxylated region on silica. At higher coverages, the metallic compounds are preferentially adsorbed by the terminating amino group on the surface, whereas the adsorption in the region between APTES and the oxide surface is also spontaneous. The adsorption is strongly driven by van der Waals interactions at the highly covered surface, where the consideration of dispersion corrections reduces the modifier-adsorbate interatomic distances and increases the adsorption energy by ca. 0.4-0.7 eV. The adsorption of water is favorable, although it is generally weaker than for the HM compounds. Based on our results, we conclude that the addition of APTES modifiers on silica increases the adsorption strength and provides extra binding sites for the adsorption of HM pollutants. These outcomes can be used for the design of more efficient structures of biomaterials for depollution of HMs.

Abstract
A theoretical study based on first-principles calculations about the interaction and diffusion of Ni atoms on pristine graphene and graphene with a single vacancy is presented. In the first case, we explored the structural changes due to the adsorption of Ni on graphene and the effects on the electronic structure. In the case of graphene with a vacancy, we analyzed the impact of the adsorbed Ni atom on the distortion of the graphene structure and how it depends on the distance from the graphene defect. In the analysis, we observed the changes in the electron localization function and the charge density. By knowing the interaction map of Ni with graphene, and the structural changes of the network, we performed energy barrier calculations within the climbing image nudged elastic band methodology to study the nickel diffusion. Finally, we explored how the vacancy and structural distortions affect the minimum energy paths and the saddle points for nickel moving away, around, and towards the vacancy.

Abstract
The atomic level dynamics of gold on graphene is studied at temperatures up to 800 °C using an in situ heating holder within an aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope. At this high temperature, individual gold atoms and nanoclusters are mobile across the surface of graphene and attach to defect sites and migrate along the edges of holes in graphene. Gold nanoclusters on clean graphene show crystallinity at temperatures above their predicted melting point for equivalent sized clusters due to strong epitaxial interactions with the underlying graphene lattice. Gold nanoclusters anchored to defect sites in graphene exhibit discrete rotations between fixed orientations while maintaining epitaxial correlations to the graphene. We show that gold nanoclusters can be two-dimensional with monolayer thickness and switch their crystal structure between two different phases. These results have important implications on the use of gold nanoclusters on graphene at elevated temperatures for applications, such as catalysis and plasmonics.

Abstract
Developing nanostructures with tunable magnetic states is crucial for designing novel data storage and quantum information devices. Using density functional theory, we investigate the thermodynamic stability and magnetic properties of tungsten adsorbed tri-vacancy fluorinated (TVF) graphene. We demonstrate a strong structure-property relationship and its response to external stimuli via defect engineering in graphene-based materials. Complex interplay between defect states and the chemisorbed atom results in a large magnetic moment of 7 μB along with high in-plane magneto-crystalline anisotropy energy (MAE) of 17 meV. Under the influence of electric field, spin crossover effect accompanied by a change in the MAE is observed. The ascribed change in spin-configuration is caused by the modification of exchange coupling between defect states and a change in the occupation of d-orbitals of the metal complex. Our predictions open a promising way towards controlling the magnetic properties in graphene based spintronic and non-volatile memory devices.

Abstract
Carbyne is the long-sought linear allotrope of carbon. Despite many reports of solid carbyne, the evidence is unconvincing. A recent report of supposed carbyne shows gold clusters in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. In order to determine the effects of such clusters, we performed ab initio calculations of uncapped and capped linear carbon chains and their complexes with gold clusters. The results indicate that gold dramatically alters the electron densities of the C≡C bonds. The resulting charge-stabilization of the carbon chains leads to pseudocarbynes. These findings are corroborated in calculations of the structures of crystals containing isolated carbon chains and those intercalated with gold clusters. Calculated Raman spectra of these pseudocarbynes with gold clusters are in better agreement with experiment than calculated spectra of isolated carbon chains. The current work opens the way toward the design and development of a new class of metal-intercalated carbon compounds.

Abstract
Magnetic graphene-based materials have shown great potential for developing high-performance electronic devices at sub-nanometer such as spintronic data storage units. However, a significant reduction of power consumption and great improvement of structural stability are needed before they can be used for actual applications. Based on the first-principles calculations, here we demonstrate that the interaction between tungsten atoms and nitrogenized-divacancies (NDVs) in the hybrid W@NDV-graphene can lead to high stability and large magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE). More importantly, reversible switching between different magnetic states can be implemented by tuning the MAE under different electric fields, and very low energy is consumed during the switching. Such controllable switching of magnetic states is ascribed to the competition between the tensile stain and orbital magnetic anisotropy, which originates from the change in the occupation number of W-5d orbitals under the electric fields. Our results provide a promising avenue for developing high-density magnetic storage units or multi-state logical switching devices with ultralow power at sub-nanometer.

Abstract
Adsorption of pre-formed Agn clusters for n = 1 - 8 on a graphite substrate is studied within the density functional theory employing the vdW-DF2 functional to treat dispersion interactions. Top sites above surface layer carbon atoms turn out to be most favorable for a Ag adatom, in agreement with experimental observations. The same feature is observed for clusters of almost all sizes which have the lowest energies when the Ag atoms are positioned over top sites. Most gas phase isomers retain their structures over the substrate, though a couple of them undergo significant distortions. Energetics of the adsorption can be understood in terms of a competition between energy cost of disturbing Ag-Ag bonds in the cluster and energy gain from Ag-C interactions at the surface. Ag3 turns out to be an exceptional candidate in this regard that undergoes significant structural distortion and has only two of the Ag atoms close to surface C atoms in its lowest energy structure.

Abstract
The adsorption of Ag, Au, and Pd atoms on benzene, coronene, and graphene has been studied using post Hartree-Fock wave function theory (CCSD(T), MP2) and density functional theory (M06-2X, DFT-D3, PBE, vdW-DF) methods. The CCSD(T) benchmark binding energies for benzene-M (M = Pd, Au, Ag) complexes are 19.7, 4.2, and 2.3 kcal/mol, respectively. We found that the nature of binding of the three metals is different: While silver binds predominantly through dispersion interactions, the binding of palladium has a covalent character, and the binding of gold involves a subtle combination of charge transfer and dispersion interactions as well as relativistic effects. We demonstrate that the CCSD(T) benchmark binding energies for benzene-M complexes can be reproduced in plane-wave density functional theory calculations by including a fraction of the exact exchange and a nonempirical van der Waals correction (EE+vdW). Applying the EE+vdW method, we obtained binding energies for the graphene-M (M = Pd, Au, Ag) complexes of 17.4, 5.6, and 4.3 kcal/mol, respectively. The trends in binding energies found for the benzene-M complexes correspond to those in coronene and graphene complexes. DFT methods that use empirical corrections to account for the effects of vdW interactions significantly overestimate binding energies in some of the studied systems.
