Interaction of TATB with Cu and Cu+1. A DFT study

2019-2
Türker, Lemi
Symmetric triaminotrinitrobenzene known as TATB decomposes in contact with some heavy metals, such as copper. Presently, TATB and some of its important tautomers are subjected to B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of treatment. Some molecular orbital energies have been obtained and compared. Then, interaction of these species with Cu and Cuþ are investigated. Although TATB has been found to be affected little by either Cu or Cuþ, undergoing only some bond length changes and/or distortions, the resonance-assisted tautomers having one to three aci groups decompose by the influence of Cu atom. In each case, only one N-OH bond rupture occurs

Simultaneous detection of surface coverage and structure of krypton films on gold by helium atom diffraction and quartz crystal microbalance techniques
Danışman, Mehmet Fatih (2011-11-01)
We describe a quartz crystal microbalance setup that can be operated at low temperatures in ultra high vacuum with gold electrode surfaces acting as substrate surface for helium diffraction measurements. By simultaneous measurement of helium specular reflection intensity from the electrode surface and resonance frequency shift of the crystal during film adsorption, helium diffraction data can be correlated to film thickness. In addition, effects of interfacial viscosity on the helium diffraction pattern cou...
Effect of airborne particle on SO2-calcite reaction
Boke, H; Göktürk, Emine Hale; Caner-Saltik, EN; Demirci, S (1999-02-01)
In modern urban atmosphere, sulphur dioxide (SO2) attacks calcite (CaCO3) in calcareous stone-producing gypsum (CaSO4 . 2H(2)O) which forms crust at rain sheltered surfaces and accelerates erosion at areas exposed to rain. The airborne particles collected on stone surfaces have always been considered to enhance the gypsum crust formation and thus it is believed that they should be removed from the surface to decrease the effects of SO2. In this study, our aim was to investigate this event by carrying out a ...
Effect of some surfactants on SO2-marble reaction
Boke, H; Gokturk, EH; Saltık, Emine Nevin (2002-12-01)
In the polluted atmosphere, sulphur dioxide (SO2) reacts with calcite (CaCO3) in marble producing calcium sulphite hemihydrate (CaSO3.0.5 H2O) and gypsum (CaSO4.2H(2)O). Gypsum develops crust at rain-sheltered surfaces and then, being more soluble, accelerates erosion at areas exposed to rain. Eventually, all these lead to significant deformations in the appearance and structure of marble surfaces. Clearly, some precautions must be taken to stop or at least to slow down this deterioration process which dest...
Interaction of BrPDI, BrGly, and BrAsp with the Rutile TiO2(110) Surface for Photovoltaic and Photocatalytic Applications: A First-Principles Study
Cakir, D.; GÜLSEREN, Oğuz; METE, ERSEN; Ellialtıoğlu, Süleyman Şinasi (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2011-05-12)
The adsorption of perylenediimide (PDI)-based dye compounds (BrPDI, BrGly, and BrAsp) on the defect-free unreconstructed (UR) rutile TiO2(110) surface has been studied using total energy pseudopotential calculations based on density functional theory. All dye molecules form moderate chemical bonds with the defect-free UR rutile (110) surface in the most stable adsorption configurations. Electronic structure analysis reveals that HOMO and LUMO levels of the adsorbed dye molecules appear within the band gap a...
Mass dispersion in transfer reactions with a stochastic mean-field theory
Washiyama, Kouhei; Ayik, Sakir; Lacroix, Denis (2009-09-01)
Nucleon transfer in symmetric heavy-ion reactions at energies below the Coulomb barrier is investigated in the framework of a microscopic stochastic mean-field theory. Although mean field alone is known to significantly underpredict the dispersion of the fragment mass distribution, a considerable enhancement of the dispersion is obtained in the stochastic mean-field theory. The variance of the fragment mass distribution deduced from the stochastic theory scales with the number of exchanged nucleons. Therefo...
