Theoretical quantum study about the adsorption of BH4 - onto X(100) where (X = Cu, Ag and Au)

Abstract: In present work we analyzed some electronic properties involved during the adsorption of <strong>BH</strong><sub>4-</sub> on Cu(100), Ag(100) and Au(100) surfaces. Reactivity descriptors such as ionization energy, hardness, electrophilicity, frontier molecular orbitals, condensed Fukui function, adsorption energies and density of states were calculated to identify changes in the reactivity on Cu(100), Ag(100) and Au(100). The results suggest the <strong>BH</strong><sub>… Show more

“…Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) and Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) are very effective parameters to describe structural properties [34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. Surfaces for the frontier orbitals were drawn to understand the bonding scheme of structures.…”

“…[ 41,42 ] The following reactivity descriptors were calculated at the B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p) level: the energy gap ( normalΔ E gap ), the ionization potential ( I ), [ 43 ] the electron affinity ( A ), [ 44 ] electronegativity ( χ ), [ 45 ] global hardness ( η ), [ 46,47 ] global softness ( S ), [ 48 ] global electrophilicity index ( ω ), [ 49 ] and global nucleophilicity index ( ε ). [ 50 ] The mathematical expressions for these descriptors are shown below: E gap = E LUMO E HOMO , I = E HOMO , A = E LUMO , χ = I + A 2 , η = I A 2 , S = 1 η , ω = χ 2 4 η , ε = 1 ω . …”

“…To analyze the local reactivity, the condensed Fukui functions [ 42,50 ] for nucleophilic attack ( f + ) and electrophilic attack ( f ) were calculated by the Hirshfeld charge analysis. The dual descriptor ( normalΔ f ) [ 51 ] and multiphilic index ( normalΔ ω ) [ 52 ] were also determined.…”

“…Thus, the lower the particle size, the higher the apparent rate constant. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have shown that the binding energy of the BH 4 anion on Au(111) is 0.41 eV [43], while on Au(100), it has been reported to be À2.57 eV [44]. Further dissociation is a favorable downhill process whatever the K10_A@Au 4e5 0.15 630 [42] face exposed by gold nanoparticles.…”
