AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
We propose a new scheme to systematically design optimized connection atoms for arbitrary quantum mechanics/mol. mechanics (QM/MM) boundaries: the pseudopotential of the boundary atom is optimized such that it minimizes the errors in the electronic structu ...
Individual MO (MO) contributions to the magnetic shielding of atoms as well as to the nucleus-independent chem. shifts (NICS) of arom. compds. can be computed by the widely used gauge-including AO (GIAO) method. Detailed analyses of magnetic shielding MO-N ...
In plane wave based electronic structure calcns. the interactions between core and valence electrons are in general represented by effective core potentials. These pseudopotentials are usually constructed such that the shape of the at. valence orbitals out ...
We present first-principles mol. dynamics studies of the reductive C-S bond cleavage reaction in hexathioether complexes of the form [Re(9S3)2]m+ (with 9S3 = 1,4,7 trithiacyclononane and m = 1,2). Our calcns. show that electron transfer and bond dissocn. t ...
Using a density functional approach, we study structural and magnetic properties of small Fe-n clusters (nless than or equal to8) deposited on a MgO(100) substrate. Upon deposition, the clusters closely preserve their gas-phase structure. The magnetic mome ...
We have applied D. Functional Theory (DFT) at the generalized gradient approxn. (GGA) level to investigate the C-S bond cleavage in hexathioether complexes of the form [M(9S3)2]n+ (with 9S3 = 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane and M = Re, Tc; n = 1, 2; as well as M ...
To accelerate reactive events in mol. dynamics simulations we introduce a general bias potential scheme which depends only on the electronic degrees of freedom of the reactive system. This electronic reaction coordinate, which is expressed in terms of a pe ...
The nature of the bonding in ethylene and h2-P4 complexes, M(C2H4)2+ and M(h2-P4)2+, of group 11 metal cations (M = Cu, Ag, Au) has been explored by d. functional calcns. On the basis of the evaluation of symmetry orbitals, the contributions from the inter ...
Entirely unlike the arom. closo B6H62- and B12H122- borane dianions, isoelectronic Si62- and Si122- are antiarom. Their Oh and Ih symmetries are responsible, as the other deltahedral silicon dianion clusters do not exhibit this behavior. These high symmetr ...
Using a density-functional approach, we investigate the reactivity of supported metal nanoclusters. We focus on the sequential adsorption of N-2 molecules on a Fe nanocluster supported by an MgO substrate. For an increasing number of N atoms preadsorbed on ...
