Ab initio calculations of the structure and the binding energies of K+(C2H5OH)n, (n=1~5) complexes were carried out with MP2/ full gen 6d and MP2/ 6-311G** methods. The stable structures of the complexes with n=2 to 5 were linear, trigonal, tetrahedral and trigonal bipyramid respectively. The binding energies of complexes were increased with the number of ligands, but the incremental binding energies were decreased. These results agreed well with the results of K+ complexes with other solvents.

The atomic and electronic properties of molybdenum disurfide ($MoS_2$) nanostructures are investigated through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We find that the band gap is indirect (about 1.79 eV) and direct (about 1.84 eV) in GGA for 2-dimensional $MoS_2$ in our calculations. On the other hand, 1-dimensional armchair nanoribbons have semiconductor properties (band gap is about 0.11~0.28 eV), while 1-dimensional zigzag nanoribbons are metallic.

Using ab initio density functional theory, we investigate the dimerization and one-dimensional (1-D) polymerization of metal-encapsulated gold nanoclusters, M@$Au_{12}$ (M=W, Mo) and their structural and electronic properties. M@$Au_{12}$ clusters with a magic number 13 can form icosahedral and cuboctahedral structures. We consider various dimer configurations with different compounds and symmetries to find the most stable dimer structure in each case. Au atoms in the one cluster, which participate directly in dimerization, tend to form triangular bonds together with counterpart Au atoms in the other. It is found that both M@$Au_{12}$ and M@$Au_{12}$ clusters are stabilized by about 3 eV due to dimerization. We also calculate and compare the electronic and magnetic properties of different dimerized clusters. Based on our investigation on dimerization, we further study on 1-D polymerization of M@$Au_{12}$ with different compounds and symmetries. We will also discuss their formation energies as well as their electronic and magnetic properties.

The geometrical structure, binding energy and vibrational frequencies of HOOCl-H2O cluster were investigated with MP2/6-311G(d,p) and MP2/6-311G(2d,2p) methods. The most stable conformer is skew HOOCl-H2O cluster and the binding energy was 46~48kJ/mol. The trans HOOCl-H2O cluster is less stable than skew form, but the binding energy is big enough to stablize the complex. The vibrational frequencies of skew and trans HOOCl-H2O cluster were calculated and compared with the spectrum of HOOCl.

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been performed in an effort to determine which types of chemical interactions play essential roles for the system, , $H_2O+CH_2SH^+$, and $H_2O+ CH_2S$. The most important contribution to the interaction energy in controlling reaction path is the exchange repulsion energy, EX, which is largely responsible for the shape of the total interaction energy curve. In the ion-molecule reaction, prior protonation of thioformaldehyde or prior deprotonation of water leads to formation of the corresponding ionic adducts ($H_2O+CH_2SH$ and $HOCH_2S^-$), with no barrier to reaction, simulating specific acid and base catalysis, respectively, as in the case of formaldehyde. Otherwise, approach of water to thioformaldehyde gives rise to a completely repulsive interaction.

Molecular geometries for the cationic and neutral species of OXO (X=Cl, Br, and I) are optimized using the Hartree-Fock (HF) theory, the second order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2), the density functional theory with the B3LYP hybrid functional (B3LYP), and the coupled cluster theory using single and double excitation with a perturbational treatment of triplet excitation (CCSD[T]) methods, with two basis sets of triple zeta plus polarization quality. The single point calculations for these species are performed at the CCSD(T,Full) level. The harmonic vibrational frequencies for these species are calculated at the HF, MP2, B3LYP and CCSD(T) levels. The adiabatic ionization potential for OIO is calculated to be 936.7 kJ/mol at the CCSD(T,Full) level and the correct value is estimated to be around 945.4 kJ/mol.

Using density functional theory calculations, we study the Schottky barrier (SB) change in a two-dimensional (2D) lateral heterostructure consisting of semiconducting $2H-MoS_2$ and the ferromagnetic metal $2H-VS_2$ by applying a uniaxial tensile strain from 0% to 10%. We find that the SB for holes is much smaller than that for electrons and that SB height decreases monotonically under increasing tensile strain. In particular, we find that a critical strain where the spin-up SB for holes is abruptly reduced to zero exists near a strain of 8%, implying that only the spin-up holes are allowed to flow through the $MoS_2-VS_2$ lateral heterostructure. Our results provide fundamental information and can be utilized to guide the design of 2D lateral heterostructure-based novel rectifying devices by using strain engineering.

The formation of complexes between SO₂ and acetic acid was studied theoretically. The ab initio and DFT calculations were performed with MP2 and B3LYP methods using 6-311++G(d,p), aug-cc-pVDZ and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets. Six stable complexes were identified, and three stable bidentate complexes, C1, C2 and C3, were formed between SO₂ and syn-acetic acid, which is more stable form of acetic acid. Anti-acetic acid also form three complexes, C4, C5 and C6, with SO₂. C4 is bidentate and C5, C6 are monodentate complexes, which are less stable. The most stable complex, C1 has S⋯O=C and O⋯H-O interactions, and the S⋯O and O⋯H distances are less than the sum of van der Waals radii. The vibrational frequencies of complexes were calculated and were compared with those of monomers. The frequency shifts after formation of complex were found, and the overall pattern of frequency shifts relative to monomers is similar among the six complexes.
