ABSTRACT
Ti2CO2 MXene is widely considered as a potential candidate material for sensors and optical devices. In this paper, first-principles calculations are performed to investigate the structural and electronic properties of pristine and vacancy defect Ti2CO2 monolayer. The results indicate that C-vacancy is energetically more favorable than Ti-vacancy and O-vacancy because of the smaller formation energy of C vacancy. The introduction of vacancy defects results in the transition from semiconductor to metal, and improves the electronic conductivities of Ti2CO2 monolayer. The introduction of C and O vacancies causes the Ti-d state to split into several peaks in the energy range of 0 to 2 eV, while the introduction of Ti vacancy makes the Ti-d state weaker and the C-p state stronger. Furthermore, the work function can be effectively engineered by vacancy defects.
ABSTRACT
The vibrational frequencies of (E)-2-cyano-3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acrylamide (HB-CA) in the ground state have been calculated using density functional method (B3LYP) with B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The analysis of natural bond orbital was also performed. The IR spectra were obtained and interpreted by means of potential energies distributions (PEDs) using MOLVIB program. In addition, the results show that there exists C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bond in the title compound, which is confirmed by the natural bond orbital analysis. The predicted NLO properties show that the title compound is a good candidate as nonlinear optical material. The analysis of frontier molecular orbitals shows that HB-CA has high excitation energies, good stability and high chemical hardness. The analysis of MEP map shows the negative and the positive potential sites.

The thermal stability and pyrolysis mechanism of 1,2-bis(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) hydrazine were investigated based on fully optimized molecular geometric structures. The results demonstrate the existence of intramolecular hydrogen bond interactions 1,2-bis(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) hydrazine. The assigned infrared spectrum was also obtained; the results reveal four main characteristic regions in the calculated IR spectra of the title compound. Detonation velocities (D) and pressures (P) were also evaluated by using Kamlet-Jacobs equations based on the calculated density and heat of formation. Thermal stability and the pyrolysis mechanism of 1,2-bis(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) hydrazine were investigated by calculating the bond dissociation energies at the B3LYP/6-31 G* level.
