Dunning TH, Xu LT. Electronic structure of Li 1,2,3 +,0,- and nature of the bonding in Li 2,3 +,0,. J Comput Chem 2024; 45:405-418. [PMID: 37966878 DOI: 10.1002/jcc.27246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023]
Abstract
The current study of the small lithium molecules Li2 +,0,- and Li3 +,0,- focuses on the nature of the bonding in these molecules as well as their structures and energetics (bond energies, ionization energies, and electron affinities). Valence CASSCF (2s,2p) calculations incorporate nondynamical electron correlation in the calculations, while the corresponding multireference configuration interaction and coupled cluster calculations incorporate dynamical electron correlation. Treatment of nondynamical correlation is critical for properly describing the Li2,3 +,0,- molecules as well as the Li- anion with dynamical correlation, in general, only fine-tuning the predictions. All lithium molecules and ions are bound, with the Li3 + and Li2 + ions being the most strongly bound, followed by Li3 - , Li2 , Li2 - and Li3 . The minimum energy structures of Li3 +,0,- are, respectively, an equilateral triangle, an isosceles triangle, and a linear structure. The results of SCGVB calculations are analyzed to obtain insights into the nature of the bonding in these molecules. An important finding of this work is that interstitial orbitals, a concept first put forward by McAdon and Goddard in 1985, play an essential role in the bonding of all lithium molecules considered here except for Li2 . The interstitial orbitals found in the Li3 +,0 molecules likely give rise to the non-nuclear attractors/maxima observed in these molecules.

Abstract
Zirconium nitride (ZrN) is an industrial material having very high melting point, hardness and chemical stability. Compared to the bulk ZrN, its nanoclusters (NCs) are rarely explored. In this report, we generate a few ZrN NCs usingab initiomolecular dynamics simulation. We investigate their electronic properties in terms of Bader charge, electron localization function and density of states. The obtained results are compared with their bulk counterpart. We also study the static and dynamical stability of the NCs with the help of binding energy, density of states and phonon dispersion spectra. The electron localization function of bulk ZrN is reported here for the first time to better understand its often confusing bonding behaviour.

Abstract
The search of new materials having suitable characteristics to trap hydrogen for fuel applications is greatly challenging due to the stringent requirements that such materials must meet. In this sense, with the aid of computational chemistry, significant advances can be achieved. The present work explores the adsorption of hydrogen molecules by lithium clusters (Lin, where n = 1-6) coordinated to a graphitic carbon nitride (heptazine, gC3N4) cavity. The study was conducted using the density functional theory (M06-2X-D3) in combination with the def2-TZVP basis set. Our results suggest that lithium atoms in the gC3N4-cavity can coordinate up to 10 hydrogen molecules with bond energies in the range -0.10 to -0.19 eV. The [gC3N4Li5]+ and [gC3N4Li6] systems resulted to be the most promising in terms of lithium coordination. They feature the highest stabilization energies for hydrogen adsorption. According to the calculated Gibbs free energies for these systems, H2 adsorption remains a spontaneous process even at 400 K.

Abstract
Molten mixtures of lithium chloride and metallic lithium are of significant interest in various metal oxide reduction processes. These solutions have been reported to exhibit seemingly anomalous physical characteristics that lack a comprehensive explanation. In the current work, the physical chemistry of molten solutions of lithium chloride and metallic lithium, with and without lithium oxide, was investigated using in situ Raman spectroscopy. The Raman spectra obtained from these solutions were in agreement with the previously reported spectrum of the lithium cluster, Li8. This observation is indicative of a nanofluid type colloidal suspension of Li8 in a molten salt matrix. It is suggested that the formation and suspension of lithium clusters in lithium chloride is the cause of various phenomena exhibited by these solutions that were previously unexplainable.

Abstract
We study the Li clustering process on graphene and obtain the geometry, nucleation barrier, and electronic structure of the clusters using first-principles calculations. We estimate the concentration-dependent nucleation barrier for Li on graphene. While the nucleation occurs more readily with increasing Li concentration, possibly leading to the dendrite formation and failure of the Li-ion battery, the existence of the barrier delays nucleation and may allow Li storage on graphene. Our electronic structure and charge transfer analyses reveal how the fully ionized Li adatoms transform to metallic Li during the cluster growth on graphene.

Abstract
We have performed systematic large-scale all-electron correlated calculations on boron clusters B n(n = 2 - 5), to study their linear optical absorption spectra. Several possible isomers of each cluster were considered, and their geometries were optimized at the coupled-cluster singles doubles (CCSD) level of theory. Using the optimized ground-state geometries, the excited states of different clusters were computed using the multi-reference singles-doubles configuration–interaction (MRSDCI) approach, which includes electron correlation effects at a sophisticated level. These CI wave functions were used to compute the transition dipole matrix elements connecting the ground and various excited states of different clusters, eventually leading to their linear absorption spectra. The convergence of our results with respect to the basis sets, and the size of the CI expansion were carefully examined. The contribution of configurations to many body wave-function of various excited states suggests that the excitations involved are collective, plasmonic type.

Abstract
A tight-binding quantum Hamiltonian and an empirical embedded-atom model (EAM) potential are used to get insight into the finite-temperature behavior of small Lin clusters, n = 8, 20, and 55. Exchange Monte Carlo simulations provide an extensive sampling of configuration space, including the putative global minimum and many relevant isomers. The heat capacities obtained from the classical simulations are corrected for low-temperature quantum delocalization using the Pitzer-Gwinn approximation. Alternatively, the caloric curves are estimated from the database of local minima using the quantum harmonic superposition approximation. While the two atomistic models predict qualitatively similar features, including some premelting effects in Li20 but none in Li55, strong variations are observed in the melting temperatures, the EAM potential giving unexpectedly low values.

Abstract
The structural properties of the cluster series Me(m)Si(7-m) (Me = Cu and Li, m < or = 6) are studied by density functional theory (DFT) employing a plane wave basis. The equilibrium geometries and energetic properties of these clusters are obtained by use of the simulated annealing procedure in conjunction with the Nosé thermostat algorithm. The lowest energy isomer thus obtained is analyzed by density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level including all electrons. Pentagonal ground state structures derived from the D(5)(h) equilibrium geometries of both Si(7) and Cu(7) are obtained for Cu(m)Si(7-m) with m < 6. The Li(m)Si(7-m) clusters, in contrast, tend toward adsorption geometries where m Li atoms are attached to a Si(7-m)framework with pronounced negative charge. For both Li(m)Si(7-m) and Cu(m)Si(7-m), a marked decrease of the energy gap is found as the number of metal atom constituents increases.

Abstract
We present accurate ionization potentials (IPs) for small lithium clusters and hydrogenated lithium clusters (n=1-4), computed using coupled-cluster singles and doubles theory augmented with a perturbative correction for connected triple excitations [CCSD(T)] with the correlation-consistent weighted core-valence quadruple-zeta basis set (cc-pwCVQZ). In some cases the full CCSDT method has been used. Comparison of computed binding energies with experiment for the pure cationic lithium clusters reveals excellent agreement, demonstrating that previous discrepancies between computed and experimentally derived atomization energies for the corresponding neutral clusters are due to the use of an inaccurate experimental IP for Li(4). The experimental IP for Li(4) falls 0.43 eV below our theoretical adiabatic value of 4.74 eV, which should be a lower bound to the measured IP. Our recommended zero-point corrected adiabatic IPs for Li, Li(2), Li(3), Li(4), LiH, Li(2)H, Li(3)H, and Li(4)H are 5.39, 5.14, 4.11, 4.74, 7.69, 3.98, 4.69, and 4.05 eV, respectively. Zero-point vibrationally corrected CCSD(T) atomization energies per atom for Li(2) (+), Li(3) (+), Li(4) (+), LiH(+), Li(2)H(+), Li(3)H(+), and Li(4)H(+) are 0.64, 0.96, 0.90, 0.056, 1.62, 1.40, and 1.40 eV, respectively.

Abstract
The structures and energetics of Li(6) (+), Li(6) (-) and three isomers of Li(6) are investigated using the coupled-cluster singles, doubles and perturbative triples [CCSD(T)] method with valence and core-valence correlation consistent basis sets of double- to quadruple-zeta quality (cc-pVXZ and cc-pCVXZ, where X=D-Q). These results are compared with qualitatively different predictions by less reliable methods. Our results conclusively show that the D(4h) isomer is the global minimum structure for Li(6). It is energetically favored over the C(5v) and D(3h) structures by about 5.1 and 7.1 kcal mol(-1), respectively, after the inclusion of the zero-point vibrational energy (ZPVE) correction. Our most accurate total atomization energies are 123.2, 117.6, and 115.7 kcal mol(-1) for the D(4h), C(5v), and D(3h) isomers, respectively. Comparison of experimental optical absorption spectra with our computed electronic spectra also indicate that the D(4h) isomer is indeed the most stable structure. The cation, anion, and some higher spin states are investigated using the less expensive cc-pCVDZ basis set. Adiabatic ionization energies and electron affinities are reported and compared with experimental values. Predictions of molecular properties are found to be sensitive to the basis set used and to the treatment of electron correlation.

Abstract
A double minimum six-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) is determined in symmetry coordinates for the most stable rhombic (D2h) B4 isomer in its 1Ag electronic ground state by fitting to energies calculated ab initio. The PES exhibits a barrier to the D4h square structure of 255 cm(-1). The vibrational levels (J=0) are calculated variationally using an approach which involves the Watson kinetic energy operator expressed in normal coordinates. The pattern of about 65 vibrational levels up to 1600 cm(-1) for all stable isotopomers is analyzed. Analogous to the inversion in ammonia-like molecules, the rhombus rearrangements lead to splittings of the vibrational levels. In B4 it is the B1g (D4h) mode which distorts the square molecule to its planar rhombic form. The anharmonic fundamental vibrational transitions of 11B4 are calculated to be (splittings in parentheses): G(0)=2352(22) cm(-1), nu1(A1g)=1136(24) cm(-1), nu2(B1g)=209(144) cm(-1), nu3(B2g)=1198(19) cm(-1), nu4(B2u)=271(24) cm(-1), and nu5(Eu)=1030(166) cm(-1) (D4h notation). Their variations in all stable isotopomers were investigated. Due to the presence of strong anharmonic resonances between the B1g in-plane distortion and the B2u out-of-plane bending modes, the higher overtones and combination levels are difficult to assign unequivocally.

Abstract
Large coupled cluster computations utilizing the Dunning weighted correlation-consistent polarized core-valence (cc-pwCVXZ) hierarchy of basis sets have been conducted, resulting in a panoply of internally consistent geometries and atomization energies for small Li(n) and Li(n)H (n=1-4) clusters. In contrast to previous ab initio results, we predict a monotonic increase in atomization energies per atom with increasing cluster size for lithium clusters, in accordance with the historical Knudsen-effusion measurements of Wu. For hydrogenated lithium clusters, our results support previous theoretical work concerning the relatively low atomization energy per atom for Li(2)H compared to LiH and Li(3)H. The CCSD(T)/cc-pwCVQZ atomization energies for LiH, Li(2)H, Li(3)H, and the most stable isomer of Li(4)H, including zero-point energy corrections, are 55.7, 79.6, 113.0, and 130.6 kcal/mol, respectively. The latter results are not consistent with the most recent experiments of Wu.

Abstract
Equilibrium geometries, stabilities, and electronic properties of TinAl (n = 1-13) clusters have been studied by using density-functional theory with local spin density approximation and generalized gradient approximation. The ground-state structures of TinAl clusters have been obtained. The resulting geometries show that the aluminum atom remains on the surface of clusters for n < 9, but is slowly getting trapped beyond n = 9, meanwhile, the Al atom exhibits a valent transition from monovalent to trivalent. The geometric effects and electronic effects clearly demonstrate the Ti4Al cluster to be endowed with special stability. The studies on the bonds indicate the change from ionic to metalliclike.
