Pełny tekst źródłaDespite extensive experimental and computational studies about the structure and function of kinases, exact details regarding the complex structural changes and the mechanistic details of individual stages involved in the catalyzed phosphoryl-transfer reaction remain uncertain. In principle, computational studies can provide detailed information and insights to complement experimental studies, but this goal can only be attained when the appropriate computational approaches are employed and the theoretical model used is a good mimic of the biological system. In this Thesis, the QM/MM approach at the DFT/MM level of theory was used to describe the different reaction mechanisms on the potential energy hypersurface of the global phosphoryl-transfer reaction catalyzed by the Protein Kinase A (PKA). Remarkably, besides making use of more complete solvated models of the biomolecular system and higher levels of theory than the ones employed in previous works, several techniques and algorithms within the computational chemistry suite ChemShell were used to improve the accuracy of the reaction path calculations and stationary points optimizations. In particular, more flexible reaction coordinates, the location of the stationary points with the hybrid delocalized internal coordinates, and the microiterative method to locate transition structures allowed us to apply a consistent and reliable multiscale methodology to examine minutely both the associative (involving a concomitant phosphoryl-transfer and protonation of transferred phosphate) and dissociative (involving two steps: phosphoryl-transfer and back protonation of the phosphorylated substrate) mechanisms of the phosphoryl-transfer reaction catalyzed by PKA. Special attention was paid in the specific roles of the invariant residues Asp166, Lys168, and Thr201, the conserved Gly-rich loop, the metal ions, and the conformation and protonation state of the substrate residue side chain and transferred phosphate along the chemical reaction. The results in this Thesis demonstrate that the catalytic reaction catalyzed by PKA is not substrate-dependent and that the dissociative mechanism is clearly more favorable than the associative one. Nevertheless, the presented calculations also show the plausibility of the associative reaction pathway when the dissociative counterpart is impeded as it is in the D166A mutant. This reopens the debate about the plausibility of the associative reaction pathway that in view of the last theoretical works in the field seemed to be overcame. Moreover, the reaction paths for the back protonation of the phosphorylated substrate by Asp166 have been located, so demonstrating that Asp166 behaves as a general acid/base catalyst along the dissociative mechanism. In addition, QM/MM potential energy profiles determined in this Thesis also demonstrate, for the first time, that the catalyzed phosphoryl-transfer is plausible with alkali earth metal ions other than Mg2+ ions, what confirms recent experimental results where the physiological role of Ca2+ in kinase activity has been proposed. For both the associative and the dissociative mechanisms, the precise location and orientation of the triad Asp166-Lys168-Thr201 and the hydrogen bond network these residues establish within the active site are shown to be essential for catalysis, particularly in the stabilization of the transition state structures involved. Lastly, the results in this Thesis provide a complete sequence of the geometrical evolution of the structure of the ternary complex along the catalytic reaction. This permits an accurate comparison with new X-ray crystallographic structures that have been suggested as experimental snapshots of the catalyzed-phosphorylation process In particular, the good agreement between the theoretically determined structures and the crystallographic studies validate the atomic view of the reaction presented in this Thesis, thus revealing conformational, coordination, and hydrogen bond changes that occur during the chemical step and its relation with the enzyme dynamics.

The thesis presents a computational study of hydride bridged systems. The chemistry of diruthenium tetrahydride-bridged complex was studied in the first part. It includes the next reactions: the hydride exchange with dihydrogen; the C-H bond activation in ethylene to yield bis(vinyl) ethylene complex; the C-C coupling between coordinated ethy¬lene and two vinyl ligands to yield ruthenacyclopentadiene complex. The detailed mechanism of these reactions has been determined. The importance of flexibility of hydride ligands and cooperation between two metal centers has been demonstrated.
The fluxional behavior of two μ-silylene complexes and a silylium cation was studied in the second part. The pathway responsible for the site-exchange of hydride ligands and methyl groups in the μ-silylene complexes has been established. Two possible mecha¬nisms of the shift of Si-H-Si bridge position in the polyagostic silylium cation, associated with internal rota¬tion of si¬lyl groups have been found.

Pełny tekst źródła[CAT] Atès que són de grandària subnanomètrica, els clusters metàl·lics estan regits pel confinament quàntic, el qual els fa més "moleculars" i menys "metàl·lics". En conseqüència, manifesten propietats que són diferents a les de partícules més grans del mateix element, i que sovint són avantatjoses per a la catàlisi de reaccions específiques. A més a més, la seua menor grandària fa que siguen més econòmics, amb una major superfície exposada. Així, els clusters són una opció molt interesant en catàlisi, i el seu estudi, síntesi i aplicació ha cres-cut contínuament des del seu descobriment als anys 90. Aquesta tesi s'ha centrat principalment en el coure, del qual es presenta, en primer lloc, un estudi fonamental sobre la dissociació de l'oxígen per clusters de diferents grandàries. Després, s'explora computacionalment la catàlisi de les oxidacions de CO i de propè, confirmant que els clusters de Cu5 (o inferior) són prometedors per a reaccions d'oxidació. Les dues reaccions utilitzades són bons exemples de l'aplicació potencial en indústria, siga per reduir emissions de CO o per produir epòxid de propè, que és un intermedi important en la producció de plàstics i adhesius, entre altres. A més, també es va estudiar la influència de dos suports en els clusters de coure i la seua capacitat d'oxidació: N-grafè com a un sistema més inert i cèria com a un que pot participar activament en reaccions d'oxidació. Finalment, s'inclouen altres dos estudis més específics, sobre la capacitat dels clusters de Pt3 y Pd3 per catalitzar reaccions d'acoblament C-C com la reacció de Heck, important per a la síntesi de productes de la química fina, i sobre la reacció CO + NO als clusters de Pt, motivat pel seu ús potencial com a catalitzadors per a la conversió d'eixes espècies en els menys perjudicials CO2 i N2 als motors de combustió interna.
[EN] Due to their subnanometric size, metal clusters belong to the regime affected by quantum confinement, which makes them more "molecular" and less "metallic". As a result, they exhibit properties that differ with respect to those of larger particles of the same element, and which are often advantageous in the catalysis of specific reactions. Besides, their smaller size makes them more economic and with a higher surface exposed. All of this renders metal clusters very interesting options for catalysis, and their study, synthesis and application has steadily increased since their discovery in the 90s. In this work we have largely focused on copper, of which a fundamental study on the oxygen dissociation by clusters of different sizes is first presented. Then, the catalysis of the CO and propene oxidation reactions is theoretically explored, confirming that Cu5 (or smaller) clusters are promising systems for oxidation reactions. The two reactions used are good examples of the potential application in industry, either to reduce CO emissions or to produce propene epoxide, an important intermediate in the production of plastics and adhesives, among others. In addition, the influence of two supports in the copper clusters and their oxidation capability is explored: on N-graphene as a more inert system and on ceria as one that can actively participate in oxidation reactions. Finally, two other more specific studies are included, regarding the capability of Pt3 and Pd3 clusters to undergo C-C coupling reactions such as the Heck reaction, important for the synthesis of many products of fine chemistry, and regarding the CO + NO reaction on Pt clusters, motivated by their potential use as catalysts for the conversion of those species in less harmful CO2 and N2 in internal combustion engines.

Una alternativa eficaç als combustibles fòssils consisteix en la conversió de l'energia solar en combustibles químics. L’hidrogen molecular provinent de l’aigua és considerat el portador d’energia més prometador. En la fotosíntesi natural l’energia solar és emmagatzemada en els enllaços químics dels carbohidrats obtinguts a partir d’aigua i CO2. L’etapa clau del procés és la foto-oxidació de l'aigua en O2, que aporta els protons i electrons necessaris per produir H2. El coneixement detallat del mecanisme de reacció resulta essencial per millorar el rendiment catalític i assegurar la compatibilitat dels catalitzadors d’oxidació de l’aigua i reducció de protons. En aquesta tesi, les etapes fonamentals del mecanisme de les reaccions d’oxidació de l’aigua o la reducció de protons catalitzades per un grup de complexos metàl·lics i les característiques estructurals dels catalitzadors que beneficien ambdues reaccions són estudiades utilitzant eines computacionals

Pełny tekst źródłaThe channeling enzyme tryptophan synthase provides a paradigmatic example of a chemical nanomachine with two distinct catalytic subunits. It catalyzes the biosynthesis of tryptophan, whereby the catalytic activity in a subunit is enhanced or inhibited depending on the state of the other subunit, gates control the accessibility of the reactive sites and the intermediate product indole is directly channeled within the protein. The first single-molecule kinetic model of the enzyme is constructed. Simulations reveal strong correlations in the states of the active centers and the emergent synchronization. Thermodynamic data is used to calculate the rate constant for the reverse indole channeling. Using the fully reversible single-molecule model, the stochastic thermodynamics of the enzyme is closely examined. The current methods describing information exchange in bipartite systems are extended to arbitrary Markov networks and applied to the kinetic model. They allow the characterization of the information exchange between the subunits resulting from allosteric cross-regulations and channeling. The final part of this work is focused on chemical reaction networks of metabolites and enzymes. Algebraic semigroup models are constructed based on a formalism that emphasizes the catalytic function of reactants within the network. A correspondence between coarse-graining procedures and semigroup congruences respecting the functional structure is established. A family of congruences that leads to a rather unusual coarse-graining is analyzed: The network is covered with local patches in a way that the local information on the network is fully retained, but the environment of each patch is not resolved. Whereas classical coarse-graining procedures would fix a particular patch and delete information about the environment, the algebraic approach keeps the structure of all local patches and allows the interaction of functions within distinct patches.

Pełny tekst źródłaGlycosyltransferases (GTs) are responsible for glycans’ biosynthesis, the most abundant organic molecules in nature. Their biological relevance makes necessary the knowledge of their catalytic mechanism, which in the case of retaining GTs is still a matter of debate. The present thesis is focused on the catalytic mechanism of these enzymes from the computational point of view. More specifically, a full-enzyme hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) study is performed for three retaining GTs: Lipopolysaccharyl-α-1,4-galactosyltransferase C from Neisseria meningitides (LgtC), bovine α-1,3-galactosyltransferase (α1,3-GalT) and human UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine:polypeptide N-acetyl-α-galactosaminyltransferase 2 (ppGalNAcT-2). The different proposed mechanisms are considered and the factors responsible for the catalytic efficiency of ret-GTs are analyzed.

Pełny tekst źródłaDans ce contexte, le but de notre thèse a été d'étudier de manière théorique et sur des modèles réaction-diffusion-convection simples les propriétés de dynamiques spatio-temporelles résultant du couplage chimie-hydrodynamique.
Nous nous sommes focalisés sur les instabilités hydrodynamiques de digitation visqueuse et de densité qui apparaissent respectivement lorsqu'un fluide dense est placé au-dessus d'un fluide moins dense dans le champ de gravité et lorsqu'un fluide visqueux est déplacé par un fluide moins visqueux dans un milieu poreux.
En particulier, nous avons étudié les problèmes suivants:
- L'influence d'une réaction chimique de type A + B → C sur la digitation visqueuse. Nous avons montré que les structures formées lors de cette instabilité varient selon que le réactif A est injecté dans le réactif B ou vice-versa si ces réactifs n'ont pas un coefficient de diffusion ou une concentration initiale identiques.
- Le rôle de pertes de chaleur par les parois du réacteur dans le cadre de la digitation de densité de fronts autocatalytiques exothermiques. Nous avons caractérisé les conditions de stabilité de fronts en fonction des pertes de chaleur et expliqué l'apparition de zones anormalement chaudes lors de cette instabilité.
- L'influence de l'inhomogénéité du milieu sur la digitation de densité de solutions réactives ou non. Nous avons montré que les variations spatiales de perméabilité d'un milieu poreux peuvent figer ou faire osciller la structure de digitation dans certaines conditions.
- L'influence d'un champ électrique transverse sur l'instabilité diffusive et la digitation de densité de fronts autocatalytiques. Il a été montré que cette interaction peut donner lieu à des nouvelles structures et changer les propriétés du front.
En conclusion, nous avons montré que le couplage entre réactions chimiques et mouvements hydrodynamiques est capable de générer de nouvelles structures spatio-temporelles dont les propriétés dépendent entre autres des conditions imposées au système.

In industrial reactors or in nature, fluid flows can be coupled to chemical reactions. In many cases, the result is the emergence of complex structures whose properties depend among others on the geometry of the system.
In this context, the purpose of our thesis was to study theoretically using simple models of reaction-diffusion-convection, the properties of dynamics resulting from the coupling between chemistry and hydrodynamics.
We focused on the hydrodynamic instabilities of viscous and density fingering that occur respectively when a dense fluid is placed above a less dense one in the gravity field and when a viscous fluid is displaced by a less viscous fluid in a porous medium.
In particular, we studied the following issues:
- The influence of a chemical reaction type A + B → C on viscous fingering. We have shown that the fingering patterns observed during this instability depends on whether the reactant A is injected into the reactant B or vice versa if they do not have identical diffusion coefficients or initial concentrations.
- The role of heat losses through the reactor walls on the density fingering of exothermic autocatalytic fronts. We have characterized the conditions of stability of fronts depending on heat losses and explained the appearance of unusually hot areas during this instability.
- The influence of the inhomogeneity of the medium on the density fingering of reactive solutions or not. We have shown that spatial variations of permeability of a porous medium may freeze or generate oscillating fingering pattern under certain conditions.
- The influence of a transverse electric field on the Rayleigh-Taylor and diffusive instabilities of autocatalytic fronts. It was shown that this interaction may lead to new structures and may change the properties of the front.
In conclusion, we showed that the coupling between chemical reactions and hydrodynamic motions can generate new space-time structures whose properties depend among others, on the conditions imposed on the system.

Pełny tekst źródłaL'enzim Mandelat Racemasa catalitza la interconversió dels dos enantiòmers (S) i (R) de l'àcid mandèlic a una velocitat semblant. El mecanisme de reacció que es postula experimentalment passa per l'abstracció d'un protó molt poc àcid. Aquesta reacció molt poc favorable en medi aquós l'enzim la catalitza a una velocitat sorprenentment alta.
Fent un estudi Mecànica Quàntica / Mecànica Molecular (QM/MM) de la reactivitat de l'enzim s'han trobat els intermedis i les barreres de reacció que permeten deduir tres mecanismes a través dels quals el substracte natural mandelat i altres dos substractes anàlegs poden racemitzar. Expliquem de quina manera l'enzim pot fer la catàlisi tant efectiva i equivalent per als dos enantiòmers.
Partint de la necessitat de millorar l'estudi QM/MM anterior, sobretot pel què fa a l'acurada localització dels estats de transició (barreres reacció), s'ha dissenyat un mètode d'optimització d'estructures per ser aplicat a sistemes de milers d'àtoms com ho és el nostre enzim.
El mètode anomenat micro-iteratiu es basa en una cerca segons les equacions Rational Function Optimization (RFO) en una zona reduida mentre es minimitza l'entorn amb un mètode computacionalment barat com el LBFGS. Aquest mètode micro-iteratiu ha estat formulat, implementat i testejat en sistemes moleculars grans i petits. Se n'ha estudiat les diferents opcions donant una recepta pràctica per al seu ús en altres reaccions. També se n'ha justificat el seu desenvolupament posant de relleu les millores obtingudes amb aquest nou mètode quan es comparen els nous resultats amb els obtinguts en l'estudi QM/MM inicial.
Finalment, l'energia lliure de la reacció enzimàtica s'ha calculat amb tècniques de la dinàmica molecular i de l'Umbrella Sampling. Per aquest tipus de càlcul és imprescindible escollir a priori una coordenada de reacció que permeti anar de reactius a productes, en altres paraules, és necessari saber com té lloc la reacció. Gràcies a la prèvia localització d'estats de transició amb el mètode micro-iteratiu podem conèixer el mecanisme de reacció. I per tant podem emprar una coordenada de reacció adequada que ens permet calcular l'energia lliure de reacció de forma efectiva.
In this thesis several theoretical techniques to study the Mandelate Racemase enzyme reactivity are designed and used.
The Mandelate Racemase enzyme catalyses the interconversion of both enantiomers (S) and (R) of mandelic acid at apparently the same rate. Experimental results suggest that the reaction mechanism takes place through the abstraction of a non-acid hydrogen. This reaction is very low in aqueous media but the enzyme catalyzes it at an extremely fast rate.
We carry out a QM/MM study of the enzyme reativity. We have found the intermediate structures and the energy barriers corresponding to three proposed mechanisms that the natural substrate mandelate and two other substrate analogues may undergo. We are able to explain how the the efficient catalysis is performed for the two enantiomers.
Due to the lack in the previous QM/MM study of an efficient method to locate transition state structures (energy barriers) we have designed an structure optimization method to be applied to systems constituted by thousands of atoms such as our enzyme.
The so-called micro-iterative method consists in a search based on the Rational Function Optimization (RFO) equations applied in a core zone while the environment is minimized through a computationally affordable method such as LBFGS. The micro-iterative method has been formulated, implemented and tested for small and big molecular systems. We have studied several possible options giving as a result a practical guide for its usage in other reactions. Comparing the results coming from the initial QM/MM study with the ones found by this micro-iterative method we show an improvement that justifies the development.
Finally, the free energy corresponding to the enzymatic reaction is calculated by means of Molecular Dynamics and Umbrella Sampling techniques. The free energy computation requires the a priori election of a reaction coordinate that allows the system to go from reactants to products. In other words, it is essential to know how the reaction takes place. Thanks to the accurate search of transition states performed previously by the micro-iterative we can find the reaction mechanism. In this sense we can use an adequate reaction coordinate that permits us an efficient calculation of the reaction free energy.

Pełny tekst źródłaIn this dissertation density functional theory (DFT) was applied to study the electronic structure and catalytic properties of graphene containing different types of defects. These defects includes hetero-atoms such as nitrogen, sulfur doped graphene, point defects such as Stone-Wales defects, single vacancy, double vacancies and substituting pentagon ring at zigzag edge, line defects such as pentagon-heptagon carbon ring chains, pentagon-pentagon-octagon carbon ring chains locating at the middle of graphene. The mechanisms of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) were studied on these defective graphene, and electron transfer processes were simulated. Using DFT methods, we also explored the effect of strains to ORR electronic catalytic properties on pure and nitrogen doped graphene.
Our simulaltion results show that nitrogen, sulfur doped graphene, graphene containing point defects, substituting pentagon ring at zigzag edge, graphene containing line defects, pentagon-heptagon chain or pentagon-pentagon-octagon chains which have odd number of heptagon or octagon carbon ring perform high catalytic properties for ORR. Four electron transfer reactions could occur, and there are also two electrons transfer occuring on these defective graphene. The Stone-Wales defect itself cannot generate the catalytic activity on the graphene, but can facilitate the formation of hetero atom doping on graphene, which could show high catalytic activities to ORR. The catalytic active sites on defective graphene are atoms possessing high spin or charge density, where the spin density plays more important effect on the catalytic properties. For the N-doped graphene, the identified active sites are closely related to doping cluster size and dopant-defect interactions. Generally speaking, a large doping cluster size (number of N atoms >2) reduces the number of catalytic active sites per N atom. In combination with N clustering, Stone-Wales defects can strongly promote ORR. For four-electron transfer, the effective reversible potential ranges from 1.04 to 1.15 V/SHE, depending on the defects and cluster size. The catalytic properties of graphene could be optimized by introducing small N clusters in combination with material defects. For S-doped graphene, sulfur atoms could be adsorbed on the graphene surface, substitute carbon atoms at the graphene edges in the form of sulfur/sulfur oxide, or connect two graphene sheets by forming a sulfur cluster ring. Catalytic active sites distribute at the zigzag edge or the neighboring carbon atoms of doped sulfur oxide atoms, which possess large spin or charge density. For those being the active catalytic sites, sulfur atoms with the highest charge density take two-electron transfer pathway while the carbon atoms with high spin or charge density follow four-electron transfer pathway. Stone-Wales defects not only promote the formation of sulfur-doped graphenes, but also facilitate the catalytic activity of these graphenes. The ORR catalytic capabilities of the graphene containing point or line defects denpend on whether the defects could introduce spin density into the system or not. The axial strain field applied on the graphene could change its electronic properties. Neither the compressive nor the tensile strain along the zigzag or armchair direction could facinitate the catalytic activities of perfect graphene without any defects. Tensile strain along zigzag direction could change the electronic properties of nitrogen doped graphene, which are favorable to its ORR catalytic property.
Our simulation results explored the ORR on defective graphene in essence and provide the theoretical base for searching and fabricating new high efficient catalysts using the carbon based materials for fuel cells.

The post-translational modification of protein refers that amino acid, such as thiol groups of cysteine, imidazole moiety of histidine and the ε-amino group of lysine residues, form adducts with electrophiles, and modify protein’s structures and functions. Nitro-fatty acids (NO2-FA) exert protective and anti-inflammatory via Michael addition to thiol groups in post-translational modifications, they have been shown to be beneficial in treating diseases such as diabetes, renal injury, and endotoxemia. Similar to NO2-FA, 15-deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2) is also Type-2 alkene . 15d-PGJ2 is PPARγ agonist that has anti-inflammatory and significant anti-cancer effect. The adduct formations of these reactions of these biologyical electro-philes with the residues mentioned above are investigated using density functional theory. In addition to biological thiols, the adduct formations of biological amines with the electrophiles via Schiff base formation is also investigated. Furthermore, we investigated several Type-2 alkenes, i.e., α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, which have been identified to be neurotoxicity via forming adducts with sulfhydrl groups of Cysteine residue. We have compared the reactivity of Type-2 alkenes with the electrophiles, our computations reveal that the toxicity of Type-2 al-kenes are attributed to their more exergonic, i.e., less reversible adduct formations.

We carried out theoretical studies for two important reactions involving HNCO peptide bond: 1. the methylation of Hydroxamic Acid (RC(=X)NHOH, X=O、R=H) and its derivatives (X=S、R=CH3,Cl,CHCH2) with diazomethane , and 2. the thermal deamination and denitrosation of N-Nitrosoamides . The descriptions are following: Part 1: There are seven possible pathways of methylation of (Z)HAs to generate O-alkylation and N-alkylation products. Path Z7 generating (Z)O,O-dimethylhydroxamates 9 has the lowest energy barrier 17.24 kcal/mol. The reaction between HAs and CH2N2 results in predominant formation of product 9 strictly high-site selective. When the substitutents of CH3, Cl and CHCH2 are added, the energy barrier of pathways and the site selection of product will be affected. The probability for the formation of (Z)N,O-dimethylhydroxamates 6 will be increase. There are six possible pathways in the E-form Has methylation. Path E5、E6 generate (E)O,O-dimethylhydroxamate 24 , with the energy barriers, 22.85 kcal/mol, and 23.06 kcal/mol respectively. The substituents CH3, Cl and CHCH2 have little effect to the site-selectivity of the products except the Cl-substituent changes the rate-determine step. The production of (E)N,O-dimethylhydroxamates 27 has higher energy barrier. Part 2: The similar methylation reaction of thiohydroxamic acid is investigated and the result compared with that of hydroxamic counterparts. We found that the relative energies、structures of transition state and the pathways of reaction were affected by two major factors: the size and the electronegativity of O and S atom. However products of Z and E isomers of SHAs also have high site-selectivity , with N-methyl product obtained at higher barrier, similar to Has counterparts. Part 3: We studied theoretical the thermal decomposition of N-Nitrosoamides and designed two isodesmic reaction to understand the substitutions effects on the stability of the reactant and transition state . We found that the substitution at the different sites (N and C) of N-Nitrosoamides led to very different results. The silyl substituent at C-site even followed different pathway of decomposition. The thermal decomposition of N-Nitrosoamides in acidic condition may undergo deaminative (loss of N2) and denitrosative (loss of NO+) two competitive pathways. According to our result, we may understand how the acidity, temperature and added nucleophilicity affect reaction barriers.

Sultine is also regarded as the precursor for producing diradical molecule, o-xylene(4). Recently W.-S. Chung synthesize a series of sultine(14) which may be the derivative of 3,4-dimethylenethiophene(8), and then discuss the thermo-reaction related to them. According the result, the isomeric reaction between sultine and sulfolene(15) is discovered accompanied with thermo-reaction of sultine and Nucleophile. This thesis first focuses on the molecular properties and substituent effect of 3,4-dimethylenethiophene(8) by using of the Density Fuctinoal Theory(DFT) . Then the study for the process of isomeric reaction described above is followed. From the calculation(B3LYP/6-31++G**) results, we found that molecule 8 is a little more stable within its triplet than singlet configuration. About the substituent effect, the more powerful electron-withdrawing group is, the more possibility is to appear energy inversion among electronic configurations. As for the reaction, we can acquire three sketches involving interaction paths for photolysis reaction of 14 and 15, including triplet potential surface only(via intersystem crossing(ISC) to exchange different configurations, this path support the Prof. Chung’s idea), singlet potential surface only, and mixing different configuration potential surface. Finally it’ll be elucidated that the tautomerism of sultne(because of S=O position, see 14-axi and 14-equ).

Modeling of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes requires knowledge of the gas-flow dynamics and chemical reaction occurring in the reactor. In order to go beyond simple growth rate predictions based on the lumped kinetics from incomplete experimental kinetic data , quantum chemistry techniques are used to investigate kinetics of chemical reaction involved in the adsorption of SiH4, GeH4 Si2H6, Ge2H6 on the Si (100) surface. Ab initio calculations have been used to determine the structures, energetics and vibration frequency of initial, final and transition states. All the geometries were optimized at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level and the energies were determined at B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ level. In addition, transition state theory with the correction of tunneling effect is used to do the kinetic evaluation. The results demonstrate the disilane molecule which adsorbs on the surface, because of a relatively high sticking coefficient, and a low activation energy for breaking the Si-Si bond to produce two SiH3, maybe the favorably pathway, which is in good agreement with the experimental prediction.

Part I This thesis deals with the calculation of reaction mechanism of B + CO2; BO, BS, B2O2 + H2; AlO +2 NO by density functional theory at B3LYP/6-311+G(d) and B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level. To find the potential energy diagram of above molecules in the reaction and analyzed their relationships. There are three reactions we studied and they are rendered here. Ab initio and density functional G2M(MP2)//B3LYP/6-311+G(d) calculations have been carried out to investigate the potential energy surface for the B + CO2 BO + CO reaction. The most favorable reaction pathway has been shown to be B + CO2 (0.0 kcal/mol) TS1 (19.2 kcal/mol) trans-BOCO (-25.1 kcal/mol) TS2 (-22.0 kcal/mol) BO + CO (-64.0 kcal/mol) OBCO (-75.6 kcal/mol). The results explain observation of OBCO as the major reaction product in the earlier matrix isolation experiments, where this molecule was likely been produced through secondary recombination of the primary BO and CO products. Potential energy surfaces of various reactions in the BO/H2, B2O2/H2, and BS/H2 systems have been studied at the G2M(MP2)//B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory. The BO + H2 reaction is shown to proceed by abstraction of a hydrogen atom by B to produce OBH + H with the barrier and exothermicity of 8.3 and 6.8 kcal/mol, respectively. The reaction can also occur by 1, 2-insertion of BO into the H-H bond or by H abstraction by the O atom; however, the barriers for these channels are much higher, 36.4 and 42.7 kcal/mol, respectively. Via a low ~ 0.3 kcal/mol barrier, the OBH + H reaction produces the OBH2 radical, which is the most stable compound in the BO/H2 system and lies 15.9, 2.5, and 4.2 kcal/mol below BO + H2, trans-HBOH, and cis-HBOH, respectively. OBH2 can isomerize to trans-HBOH overcoming a barrier of 27.7 kcal/mol and the latter can rearrange to the cis conformer with a barrier of 10.8 kcal/mol. BOH and H can recombine and form cis- or trans-HBOH without barriers. In the B + H2O reaction, the reactants can first form a weakly bound B-H2O complex, which then can eliminate an H atom producing BOH + H or undergo insertion of B into an O-H bond giving trans-HBOH with barriers of 4.7 and 6.2 kcal/mol relative to the initial reactants, respectively, and trans-HBOH can eventually decompose to OBH + H and a minor amount of BO + H2. Singlet OBBO is shown to be much less reactive with respect to H2 than the BO monomer. Alternatively, after two BO recombine to form a triplet OBBO molecule over a moderate 8.3 kcal/mol barrier, t-OBBO can easily react with H2 producing either BO + OBH2 (via a t-OBBH2O intermediate) or OBBOH + H with barriers of 4.4 and 7.4 kcal/mol, respectively. The reactions in the BS/H2 system are shown to be similar to those for BO/H2, except that BS cannot insert into H2, SBH2 resides in a much deeper potential well (37.3 kcal/mol below BS + H2) and can rearrange both to trans- and cis-HBSH, the B-H2S complex is more strongly bound than B-H2O, and the B + H2S reaction is expected to be significantly faster than the reaction of B + H2O. Part II Two series of single phase triple-perovskite superconducting samples with nominal compositions of Nd1-xCaxBa2Cu3Oy and NdBa2-zCazCu3Oy are prepared by the solid state reaction method. For all the samples, both the Tc and the orthorhombicity of the unit cell decrease with increasing Ca content. The results of Rietveld analysis indicate that the Ca ions in the Nd1-xCaxBa2Cu3Oy series occupy R site causing a hole doping effect, whereas part of Ca ions in the NdBa2-zCazCu3Oy series occupy R site and push the same amount of Nd3+ ions into Ba site, causing a hole filling effect. It is also found that Tc decreases linearly with decreasing the distance of Cu(2)-Cu(2) along the c-axis. The O-1s and Cu-2p3/2 X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) show that both the holes in the CuO2 planes and on the apical oxygen sites have a significant effect on the superconductivity of Nd1-xCaxBa2Cu3Oy series in the overdoped region. In the NdBa2-xCaxCu3Oy series, the oxygen contents and orthorhombicity are decreased with increasing Ca content. The evening distribution of O(4) and O(5) in the basal plane leads to a reduction in the number of holes in the CuO2 planes and a decrease in Tc.
