要旨

The geometrical and electronic structures of different isomers of Ni2O2H2+ are investigated by multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) calculations using natural atomic orbital basis sets. The lowest-lying isomer, Ni2(OH)2+, has a rhombic shape with two OH groups bridging the Ni atoms. The next isomer in energetic order with a relative energy of 0.29 eV consists of a linear NiONi(OH2)+ chain. Other structures with a rhombic shape, (NiH)2O2+, with H bound to the Ni atoms have considerably higher energies, above 4 eV. Especially the low-lying isomers are characterised by a large number of low-lying electronic terms. The product Ni2O2H2+ of the reaction of Ni2O2+ with small alkanes is likely to have the rhombic Ni2(OH)2+ structure. The reaction energy of the reaction Ni2O2+ + H2 → Ni2(OH)2+ is estimated to be about −3.5 eV.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
