The ground state structure, stability and electronic properties of Ce3S n+/0/- clusters were studied by using global search technique and the TPSSh density functional method. The results show that the growth mode of the ground state structures of Ce3S n+/0/-clusters is: when n=5~12, their ground state structures are all composed of a double triangular pyramid configuration Ce3S4 with S atom as co-vertice and 1~8 S atoms adsorbed on it, respectively. Based on the determination of the ground state structure, the photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) of anionic clusters was simulated, and the electron affinity energy (EA), ionization potential (IP), average bond energy (Eb ), second-order energy difference (∆2E) and HOMO-LUMO (Egap) energy gap of the clusters were calculated. The results show that Ce3S4+ cluster have good thermodynamic and chemical stability, and can be used as the most suitable structural unit of new multifunctional nanomaterials.
金属硫化物因在发光、导电、催化等方面的广泛应用而引起了科学家们的极大兴趣[1-3]。目前,已经对金属掺杂硫团簇化合物进行了大量研究。Chen等[4]研究发现小铁硫团簇的几何结构和电子性质在很大程度上取决于铁原子的数量,这归因于铁原子具有独特的3d 64s2构型,且具有未填充的三维壳层,与各种几何形状的非金属(如硫)原子有很强的配位能力。Chen等[5]说明了AuS4和AuS3具有最高和最低的能隙,分别具有最高的化学稳定性和化学活性。AuS4和其他团簇的总磁矩分别为3和1(或0)μB,其中主要由S原子的局部磁矩贡献。单原子的平均极化张量一般随S原子数量的增加而增加。王素凡等[6]用UHF和B3LYP结合计算V2S2+的几何构型和电子结构,用RHF和B3LYP结合计算了V3S4+的几何构型和电子结构。周岳珍等[7]采用密度泛函理论(DFT)进行结构优化,通过计算其二阶能量差分、分裂能、平均结合能、最高占据轨道(HOMO)、最低空轨道(LUMO)和HOMO-LUMO能隙,以表征与分析团簇总原子数对Mo m S n 团簇基态结构稳定性的影响。计算结果表明,随着总原子数(m+n)的增大,Mo m S n 团簇的基态结构由较为松散的平面结构向紧凑型的空间结构转变;Mo m S n 团簇结构稳定性随团簇原子总数(m+n)的增加而增大。在Mo m S n 团簇中,电荷均是由Mo原子向S原子转移的,并以共价键和离子键共存。JUÁREZ-SÁNCHEZ等[8]在B3LYP水平上计算获得了(CuS) N 簇(N=1~6)的全局最小构型,随着团簇尺寸的增大,这些团簇倾向于形成一个以S原子覆盖Cu原子的结构。Li等[9]对一系列多硫化钠配合物NaS n- (n=5~9)进行了联合实验和计算研究,观察到NaS n-的电子结合能随着簇的大小而增加,用高能级CCSD (T)方法计算的VDE和ADE与实验结果吻合良好,证实了所鉴定的异构体是最稳定的异构体。Liang等[10-12]结合红外光谱实验和密度泛函理论系统研究了过渡金属硫化物TMS团簇体系,其中TM包括Mn,Fe,Co,Zn和Cu原子。
