The ruthenium(II) hexaaqua complex [Ru(H2O)6]2+ reacts with dihydrogen under pressure to give the h2-dihydrogen ruthenium(II) pentaaqua complex [Ru(H2)(H2O)5]2+.The complex was characterized by 1H, 2H and 17O NMR: d H = -7.65 ppm, J HD = 31.2 Hz, d O = -80 ...
A finite-temp. linear tetrahedron method for electronic structure calcns. of periodic systems is developed. When compared to widely used simple temp. broadening, the no. of k points necessary for accurate integration at finite temps. is reduced. The utilit ...
Rotational correlation times of metal ion aqua complexes can be detd. from 17O NMR relaxation rates if the quadrupole coupling const. of the bound water oxygen-17 nucleus is known. The rotational correlation time is an important parameter for the efficienc ...
A simple scheme for the evaluation of the core spin-polarization contribution within pseudopotential electronic structure methods is proposed. The method uses a reconstruction of the all-electron wave functions and the frozen valence spin-d. approxn. to so ...
Using a first-principles approach, we investigate the origin of the fine structure in Si 2p photoelectron spectra at the Si(100)-(2x1) surface and at the Si(100)-SiO2 interface. Calculated and measured shifts show very good agreement for both systems. By u ...
We performed an ab initio mol. dynamics simulation of the paramagnetic transition metal ion Cr3+ in aq. soln. Isotropic hyperfine coupling consts. between the electron spin of the chromium ion and nuclear spins of all water mols. have been detd. for instan ...
An efficient algorithm for band connectivity (BC) resoln. is presented. The method uses only readily available band coeffs. and the overlap matrix, and has a low computational cost. The accuracy of the BC resoln. is such that the method is practical for me ...
