Propylene epoxidation is investigated on RuO2(110) and oxygen added RuO2-O-ot(110) surfaces by periodic DFT computational method. The desired product propylene oxide (PO) as well as the undesired products acetone (AC) or propionaldehyde (PA) form on both surfaces through either surface intermediate oxometallopropylene (OMMP) or direct oxygen insertion mechanisms. On RuO2(110) surface, nucleophilic lattice oxygen at bridge position (O-br) favors the stable surface intermediate mechanism where high energy requirements for forward reactions are demonstrated in our calculations. On RuO2-O-ot(110) surface, however, higher reactivity of the electrophilic oxygen (Oot) species lowers the reaction barriers and enables an exothermic reaction path to the direct oxygen insertion for PO production. Therefore, RuO2-Oot surface is expected to show a higher PO rate. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier B.V.

A density functional theory study of partial oxidation of propylene on Cu2O(001) and CuO(001) surfaces Duzenli, Derya; Atmaca, Deniz Onay; Gezer, Miray Gulbiter; Önal, Işık (2015-11-15) This work theoretically investigates propylene epoxidation reaction on Cu2O(001) and CuO(001) surfaces using periodical DFT method to determine the active copper species within the reaction mechanism. The transition states and energy profiles are calculated for the formation of surface intermediates such as oxametallopropylene (OMP) over Cu2O(0 0 1) and oxygen bridging (OB) over CuO(0 0 1) and allylic H-stripping reaction (AHS) over both surfaces as well as for formation of products. Propylene oxide (PO) an...
An ONIOM and DFT Study of Water and Ammonia Adsorption on Anatase TiO2 (001) Cluster

Erdogan, Rezan; Önal, Işık (2011-08-05)

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations at ONIOM DFT B3LYP/6-31G**-MD/UFF level are employed to study molecular and dissociative water and ammonia adsorption on anatase TiO2 (001) surface represented by partially relaxed Ti20O35 ONIOM cluster. DFT calculations indicate that water molecule is dissociated on anatase TiO2 (001) surface by a nonactivated process with an exothermic relative energy difference of 58.12 kcal/mol. Dissociation of ammonia molecule on the same surface is energetically more favora...
A DFT study on disubstituted R-hexahelicenes having donor/acceptor groups Türker, Burhan Lemi; Bayar, Caglar Celik (2010-06-02) In order to investigate the positional effects of both -NH2 and -NO2 groups over the quantum chemical properties of hexahelicene, sixteen different types of terminal donor/acceptor (-NH2/-NO2) disubstituted R-hexahelicenes (Hn, n = 1-16) have been designed and theoretically investigated by DFT method at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The electronic and thermodynamical properties and molecular orbitals of hexahelicene and all Hn compounds have been discussed. NICS(0) calculations have been performed for all the rings...
A van der Waals density functional investigation of carboranethiol self-assembled monolayers on Au(111) Yılmaz, Ayşen; Danışman, Mehmet Fatih (2016-05-14) Isolated and full monolayer adsorption of various carboranethiol (C2B10H12S) isomers on the gold(111) surface has been investigated using both the standard and van der Waals density functional theory calculations. The effect of different molecular dipole moment orientations on the low energy adlayer geometries, the binding characteristics and the electronic properties of the self-assembled monolayers of these isomers has been studied. Specifically, the binding energy and work function changes associated wit...
A periodic DFT study of water and ammonia adsorption on anatase TiO2 (001) slab Erdogan, Rezan; Ozbek, Olus; Önal, Işık (2010-06-15) Water and ammonia adsorption mechanisms on anatase TiO2 (001) slab surface are investigated by means of periodic DFT approach. Molecular and dissociative adsorption energies for water are calculated to be -15 kcal/mol and -32 kcal/mol, respectively. Similarly, molecular and dissociative adsorption energies of ammonia on the same surface are found as 25 kcal/mol and 20 kcal/mol. A reverse result in this order is reached for the previous case of ONIOM cluster study (23 kcal/mol and 37 kcal/mol, respectively)....
