Investigação de sistemas moleculares contendo berílio: caracterização espectroscópica e termoquímica / Investigation of molecular systems containing beryllium: spectroscopic and thermochemical characterizationLima, José Carlos Barreto de 28 November 2014 (has links)
Este trabalho teve como foco principal a caracterização espectroscópica dos haletos de berílio, BeCl, BeBr e BeI. O conhecimento acerca dessas espécies foi ampliado significativamente através do cálculo de parâmetros de difícil caracterização experimental. Como os poucos trabalhos experimentais realizados para esses haletos apresentam resultados inconclusivos para a transição C 2Σ+ - X 2Σ+, através do cálculo acurado de probabilidades de transição foi possível oferecer uma nova interpretação para os dados existentes, apresentando inclusive resultados para as outras transições eletrônicas até o presente desconhecidas. Cálculos utilizando o método de Interação de Configurações Multirreferencial (MRCI) com um conjunto de funções de base consistentes na correlação de qualidade quintupla-zeta foram utilizados para se obter as curvas de energia potencial associadas ao primeiro e segundo canais de dissociação para os estados dubleto e quarteto dessas espécies. Parâmetros espectroscópicos como as constantes vibracionais we, wexe, a constante rotacional Be e a distância de equilíbrio foram determinados para os estados de mais baixa energia. Além disso, foram calculadas a energia de excitação (Te) e a energia de dissociação (De) com e sem a inclusão de efeitos spin-órbita. Os resultados obtidos expandiram significativamente nosso conhecimento sobre os estados eletrônicos dessa espécies. Para os estados já investigados experimentalmente, houve boa coerência entre os parâmetros calculados e experimentais. As diferenças de energia entre os dois canais no limite de dissociação para as moléculas BeCl, BeBr e BeI obtidas neste trabalho foram, respectivamente: 21835, 21889 e 21998 cm-1, em concordância com o respectivo resultado experimental das três espécies (21980 cm-1). A determinação teórica da energia de dissociação D0 foi bastante satisfatória. Obtivemos 92,24; 72,77 e 51,75 kcal·mol-1, respectivamente, para as moléculas BeCl, BeBr e BeI incluindo os efeitos spin-órbita, comparados a 91,78, 71 e 57 kcal·mol-1. Para uma análise mais completa das curvas de energia potencial, elas também foram obtidas considerando-se os efeitos relativísticos. A constante de acoplamento spin-órbita calculada na região de equilíbrio de cada uma das moléculas BeCl, BeBr e BeI foi, respectivamente: 41, 207 e 324 cm-1, em boa concordância com os resultados experimentais: 52,8, 198 e 361,1 cm-1, respectivamente. A separação spin-órbita no limite de dissociação calculada foi de 823, 3446 e 6975 cm-1 (BeCl, BeBr e BeI), também coerentes com resultados experimentais: 882, 3685,24 e 7603,15 cm-1, respectivamente. Foi ainda realizada uma análise detalhada sobre os canais de dissociação das moléculas HBeP e BePH. A construção de um diagrama de energias relativas permitiu obter um conjunto de dados importantes a respeito de todos os possíveis canais de dissociação. Em particular é mostrado a estabilidade relativa e a energia no limite de dissociação. Para a energia no limite de dissociação obtivemos resultados consistentes com os valores experimentais. Nossos cálculos para os três primeiros canais de dissociação HBeP = H + Be resultaram nos seguintes valores: H (2Sg) + Be (X 4Σ+), 0 cm-1; H (2Sg) + Be (a 2π), 426 cm-1 (exp. 502 cm-1); H (2Sg) + Be (b 2Σ-), 1896 cm-1 (exp. 1976 cm-1). Por fim, pela primeira vez na literatura, o calor de formação e de atomização foram calculados para estas espécies. Para os isômeros HBeP e BePH, a energia de atomização a 298,15 K calculada foi de 119,02 kcal·mol-1 e 107,40 kcal·mol-1, respectivamente; para o calor de formação a 298,15 K, obtivemos 86,14 e 97,76 kcal·mol-1 para as espécies HBeP e BePH, respectivamente. / This work has mainly focused on the spectroscopic characterization of the beryllium halides, BeCl, BeBr and BeI. Knowledge about these species was substantially increased through the calculation of parameters that are difficult to access in an experimental characterization. As the few experimental works carried out for these halides presented inconclusive results for the C 2Σ+ - X2Σ+ transition, we carried out accurate calculations of transition probabilities, thus offering a new interpretation about the existing data, including also results for other electronic transitions as yet unknown. Calculations using the method Multireference Configuration Interaction (MRCI) along with correlation-consistent basis set functions of quintuple-zeta quality were used to obtain the potential energy curves associated with the first and second dissociation channels for the doublet and quartet states of these species. Spectroscopic parameters such as vibrational constants We, WeXe, the rotational constant Be and the equilibrium distance were determined for the low-lying states. Furthermore, we also calculated the excitation energy (Te) and the dissociation energy (De) with and without the inclusion of spin-orbit effects. The obtained results significantly expanded our knowledge about the electronic states of this species. For states already investigated experimentally, there was good consistency between the calculated and the experimental parameters. The energy differences between the two channels in the dissociation limit for BeCI, BeBr and Bel molecules obtained in this work were: 21835, 21889 and 21998 cm-1, in agreement with the corresponding experimental results of the three species (21 980 cm-1). The theoretical determination of the dissociation energy D0 was very satisfactory. We obtained 92.24, 72.77, and 51.75 kcal·mol-1, respectively, for the BeCl, BeBr and BeI molecules including spin-orbit effects, compared to 91.78, 71 and 57 kcal . mol-1. For a more complete analysis of the potential energy curves, they also were obtained considering relativistic effects. The calculated spin-orbit coupling constants in the equilibrium region of BeCl, BeBr and BeI molecules were respectively 41, 207 and 324 cm-1, in good agreement with the experimental results: 52.8, 198, and 361.1 cm-1, respectively. The calculated spin-orbit splitting in the dissociation limit was 823, 3446 and 6975 cm-1 (BeCl, BeBr and BeI) also consistent with the experimental results: 882, 3685.24 and 7603.15 cm-1, respectively. Additionally, a detailed analysis of the dissociation channels of HBeP and BePH molecules was performed. The construction of a relative energies diagram allowed us to derive a set of important data for all the possible dissociation channels. In particular, it is shown the relative stability and the energy in the dissociation limit. For the energy in the dissociation limit, we obtained results consistent with the experimental values. Our calculations for the first three dissociation channels HBeP = H + Be resulted in the following values: H (2Sg) + Be (X 4Σ+), 0 cm-1; H (2Sg) + Be (a 2π), 426 cm-1 (exp. 502 cm-1); H (2Sg) + Be (b 2Σ-), 1896 cm-1 (exp. 1976 cm-1). Finally, for the first time in the literature, the heat of formation and the atomization energy were calculated for these species. For the HBeP and BePH isomers, the atomization energy calculated at 298.15 K was 119.02 and 107.40 kcal . mol-1, respectively; for the heat of formation at 298.15 K, we obtained 86.14 and 97.76 kcal· mol-1 for HBeP and BePH species, respectively.

Síntese e caracterização microestrutural, superficial e eletroquímica de óxido de estanho dopado com haletos / Synthesis and characterization microstructural, surface and tin electrochemical oxide doped with halidesEsteves, Marcos Cramer 14 July 2004 (has links)
Os eletrodos de metais nobres, considerados os melhores, implicam em altos custos para qualquer tipo de aplicação em larga escala. Com intuito de minimizar os custos e manter a eficiência, muitos estudos buscam materiais alternativos. O óxido de estanho apresenta-se como uma boa alternativa para material de eletrodo, principalmente por poder ser utilizado na forma de filme condutor transparente. Atualmente, é aplicado em sensores eletroquímicos para detecção de gases, painéis de cristal líquido e em células fotovoltaicas. Como se trata de um semicondutor, é comum o uso de dopantes para melhorar a condutividade elétrica do composto. Entre os diversos dopantes já estudados, o flúor apresenta resultados muito bons, sendo um dos mais utilizados hoje em dia. Entretanto, pouco se sabe sobre como esse aditivo influi sobre as características físico-químicas do óxido de estanho. A proposta do presente trabalho é estudar a influência do uso de haletos (F e Cl) como aditivos para o óxido de estanho. Inicialmente, foram preparados pós de SnO2 com diferentes concentrações de flúor ou cloro, através do método de precursores poliméricos. Esses pós foram caracterizados por difração de raios X, reflectância difusa de infravermelho e medidas de área superficial através de isoterma BET. Os resultados obtidos mostram que os aditivos concentram-se no contorno de grão. As amostras dopadas sofreram aumento de área superficial e mudança no espectro IV da superfície. Os padrões de difração de raios-X permaneceram inalterados, indicando que não houve formação de solução sólida ou qualquer outro tipo de alteração no retículo cristalino do Sn O2. Os pós também foram submetidos à análise térmica e estudos de mobilidade dinâmica eletroforética. Desses estudos foi possível concluir que a presença dos aditivos modifica a interface do óxido, influindo sobre sua acidez e hidrofobicidade. Além do estudo dos pós, também foi explorada a resposta eletroquímica do óxido dopado, na forma de filmes e pastilhas. As pastilhas foram preparadas através da sinterização dos pós. Os filmes foram preparados por dip coating utilizando vidro ou ouro como substrato. Devido à alta resistência elétrica das pastilhas e dos filmes suportados sobre vidro, não foi possível obter resposta eletroquímica satisfatória. Já os filmes suportados sobre ouro foram caracterizados eletroquimicamente usando eletrólito inerte, sonda eletroquímica (par redox Fe(CN)6-4 / Fe(CN6-3) e eletrólito simulando ambiente corrosivo. Os resultados obtidos mostram que os filmes são pouco homogêneos e que parte do substrato metálico ficou exposto. Os filmes dopados com flúor também foram caracterizados por espectroscopia de impedância eletroquímica. Um circuito equivalente foi ajustado às respostas obtidas. Parâmetros como resistência da transferência de carga e capacitância da dupla camada elétrica puderam ser calculados. / Alternative materiaIs for electrochemical applications are studied and developed due to the high cost of noble metaIs electrodes, still the best materiaIs for electrodes today. Tin oxide presents good results as an alternative electrode material. The material is capable to show both transparency and electrical conductivy when applied as a film. It is currently used as electrochemical sensors for gases detection, liquid crystal display\'s and photovoltaic cells. Being tin oxide a semiconductor, dopants are usually added in order to improve the conductivity. Among several already known additives, fiuorine is one of the most applied, providing very good results. However, there are few information about the fiuorine action over the phisycal-chemistry properties ofthe oxide. The present work focus on the infiuence of halide (F or Cl) doping over some tin oxide characteristics. At first, Sn O2 powders with different additive contents were prepared via a Pechini\'s method derived route. These powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, diffuse refiectance infrared spectroscopy and BET isoterm suface area measurement. From the obtained results, it can be infered that the additives are mainly in the grain surface. The doped samples showed higher surface areas and differences in the IR spectra. The XRD pattern showed neither shifts nor new phases. Therefore, there were neither solid solution formation nor any kind of crystaline lattice changing. Moreover, thermal analysis and electrophoretic dynamic mobility measurements were performed and showed that the additive presence modifies the tin oxide acidity and hydrofobicity. Besides, the electrochemical behavior of films and syntered tin oxide were explored. Films were prepared through dip coating and supported on glass or gold substrates. Syntered tin oxide was prepared in pellet shape. Pellets and glass supported films showed high resistivity, which leads to poor electrochemical response. Only the gold supported fiims showed good response. These films were electrochemicaly characterized with an inert electrolyte, an electrochemical probe (Fe(CN6-4 / Fe(CN6-3 redox pair) and an corrosive electrolyte. Scaning electronic microscopy was performed too. According to the results, the films are not homogeneous and the metallic substrate was exposed. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies were either performed with fiuorine-doped films. A proposed equivalent circuit was capable to fit the results. Charge transfer resistance and double layer capacity ofthe films could be calculated.

Ultrafast Photo-induced Reaction Dynamics of Small MoleculesKadi, Malin January 2003 (has links)
<p>The main focus of this thesis is the investigation of the dissociation dynamics of aryl halides using femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. In the monohalogenated aryl halides, iodo-, bromo- and chlorobenzene, the rate of dissociation following excitation at 266 nm in the gas phase increased with increasing mass of the halogen atom. This process was assigned to predissociation of the initially excited singlet (π, π*) state via a repulsive triplet (n, σ*) state due to spin-orbit interaction. In addition to the predissociative mechanism, a direct dissociation channel was observed in iodobenzene. The rate of the predissociation in bromobenzene was found to be faster in the condensed phase than in the gas phase, which can be explained by solvent-induced symmetry perturbations. <i>Ab initio</i> calculations of the potential energy surfaces of the ground state and several low lying excited states in bromobenzene have been performed in order to verify the suggested mechanism. Substituting one of the hydrogen atoms in bromobenzene affected the predissociation rate significantly. In o-, m- and p-dibromobenzene the predissociation rate increased with decreasing distance between the bromine atoms in accordance with an increased spin-orbit interaction introduced by the bromine substituent. The fastest predissociation rate was observed in 1,3,5-tribromobenzene. With chlorine and fluorine substitution, inductive and conjugative effects were found to be of importance. In the o- and m-isomers of the dihalogenated aryl halides, an additional faster dissociation channel was observed. Guided by <i>ab initio</i> calculations of the potential energy surfaces in the dibromobenzene isomers, we ascribed the fast dissociation pathway to predissociation of an initially excited triplet state.

Shape preserving conversion reaction of siliceous structures using metal halides: properties, kinetics, and potential applicationsShian, Samuel 07 November 2008 (has links)
BaSIC, which stands for Bioclastic and Shape-preserving Inorganic Conversion, is shape-preserving chemical conversion process of biological (or man-made) silica structures for producing complex 3-D microscale structures. This dissertation reports the BaSIC reaction of halide gases (i.e., TiF4, ZrF4, and ZrCl4) with 3-D silica structures, (i.e., diatom frustules, silicified direct-write assembly scaffolds, and Stöber silica spheres) to produce titania and zirconia replicas of the original 3-D structures. The kinetics of reaction of silica with titanium tetrafluoride gas is analyzed by using a novel HTXRD reaction chamber, nitrogen adsorption, and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The crystal structure and the temperature-induced phase transformation (from the room temperature hexagonal R-3c structure to the higher temperature cubic Pm3m structure) of polycrystalline TiOF2 that was synthesized through metathetic reaction of silica with TiF4(g) is reported. Additionally, potential applications of the converted titania diatom frustules (i.e., as a fast micron-sized ethanol sensor, and as a pesticide hydrolyzing agent) are also demonstrated in this work.

Non-thermal processes on ice and liquid micro-jet surfacesOlanrewaju, Babajide O. 19 January 2011 (has links)
Processes at the air-water/ice interface are known to play a very important role in the release of reactive halogen species with atmospheric aerosols serving as catalysts. The ability to make different types of ice with various morphologies, hence, different adsorption and surface properties in vacuum, provide a useful way to probe the catalytic effect of ice in atmospheric reactions. Also, the use of the liquid jet technique provides the rare opportunity to probe liquid samples at the interface; hitherto impossible to investigate with traditional surface science techniques. Studies of reactions on both ice and liquid surfaces at ambient conditions are usually complicated by the rapid desorption and adsorption processes due to the high evaporation rates at the surface. To gain a better understanding and improve modeling of several atmospheric relevant reactions, it is therefore important to develop laboratory techniques that provide an opportunity to investigate non-thermal reactions on both ice and liquid surfaces. Detailed investigation of the interactions of atmospheric relevant molecules (methyl iodide and hydrogen chloride) on water ice at low temperature in UHV conditions has been carried out. These interactions were studied using different techniques such as temperature programmed desorption (TPD), electron stimulated desorption (ESD) and resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI). Unlike probing reactions on ice surfaces, investigating air/liquid interfaces present several challenges. This is because traditional surface science techniques require an ultra high vacuum environment to prevent distortion of information due to interference from equilibrium vapor above the liquid surface during data acquisition. The liquid jet technique facilitates the direct study of continually renewed liquid surfaces in high vacuum, thereby preventing the constant changing of the properties and composition of the liquid surface due to the aging process (diffusion of impurities or liquid constituent). A linear time-of-flight mass spectrometer has been used to monitor ion ejection during laser irradiation of liquid jet containing aqueous solutions and pure water. Since these ions are ejected exclusively from the surface of the liquid and the cluster distributions observed are influenced by the local structure, these experiments provide a sensitive probe of the liquid vacuum interface of these solutions. Though the research is fundamental, the results obtained from these investigations indicate how the discontinuity of bulk properties on the surface of both ice and aqueous solutions affects interfacial reactions.

Quaternary Silver Bismuth Chalcogenide Halides Ag - Bi - Q - X (Q = S, Se; X = Cl, Br): Syntheses and Crystal Structures / Quaternäre Silber Bismut Chalcogenide Halogenide Ag - Bi - Q - X (Q = S, Se; X = Cl, Br): Synthesen und KristallstrukturenPoudeu Poudeu, Pierre Ferdinand 06 January 2004 (has links) (PDF)
Systematic synthetic investigations of the quaternary systems Ag - Bi - Q - X (Q = S, Se; X = Cl, Br) led to a variety of quaternary phases that exhibit considerable structural diversity with increasing complexity. These include Ag1.2Bi17.6S23Cl8, AgBi4Se5Br3 and numerous members of the homologous double series Agx(N+1)Bi2+(1-x)(N+1)Q2+(2-2x)(N+1)X2+(2x-1)(N+1) denoted (N, x)P. N represents the order number of a given homologue and x is the degree of substitution of Bi by Ag with 1/2 &lt;= x &lt;= 1. Their structures are built up from two alternating types of modules denoted A and B that are stacked parallel to (001). In module A, rows of edge-sharing [MZ6] octahedra (Z = X and/or Q); M = Ag and/or Bi) running parallel to [010] alternate along [100] with parallel chains of paired monocapped trigonal prisms around Bi atoms. The module type denoted B represents NaCl-type fragments of varying thickness. It is defined by the number N of octahedra within the chain of edge-sharing octahedra running diagonally across it in the (010) plane of the structure. The thickness of module B for current members of the series extends from N = 0 to N = 7. All structures exhibit Ag/Bi disorder in octahedrally coordinated metal positions and Q/X (Q = S, Se; X = Cl, Br) mixed occupation of some anion positions. Some of these compounds are narrow gap semiconductors.

Os padrões de difração de raios-X permaneceram inalterados, indicando que não houve formação de solução sólida ou qualquer outro tipo de alteração no retículo cristalino do Sn O2. Os pós também foram submetidos à análise térmica e estudos de mobilidade dinâmica eletroforética. Desses estudos foi possível concluir que a presença dos aditivos modifica a interface do óxido, influindo sobre sua acidez e hidrofobicidade. Além do estudo dos pós, também foi explorada a resposta eletroquímica do óxido dopado, na forma de filmes e pastilhas. As pastilhas foram preparadas através da sinterização dos pós. Os filmes foram preparados por dip coating utilizando vidro ou ouro como substrato. Devido à alta resistência elétrica das pastilhas e dos filmes suportados sobre vidro, não foi possível obter resposta eletroquímica satisfatória. Já os filmes suportados sobre ouro foram caracterizados eletroquimicamente usando eletrólito inerte, sonda eletroquímica (par redox Fe(CN)6-4 / Fe(CN6-3) e eletrólito simulando ambiente corrosivo. Os resultados obtidos mostram que os filmes são pouco homogêneos e que parte do substrato metálico ficou exposto. Os filmes dopados com flúor também foram caracterizados por espectroscopia de impedância eletroquímica. Um circuito equivalente foi ajustado às respostas obtidas. Parâmetros como resistência da transferência de carga e capacitância da dupla camada elétrica puderam ser calculados. / Alternative materiaIs for electrochemical applications are studied and developed due to the high cost of noble metaIs electrodes, still the best materiaIs for electrodes today. Tin oxide presents good results as an alternative electrode material. The material is capable to show both transparency and electrical conductivy when applied as a film. It is currently used as electrochemical sensors for gases detection, liquid crystal display\'s and photovoltaic cells. Being tin oxide a semiconductor, dopants are usually added in order to improve the conductivity. Among several already known additives, fiuorine is one of the most applied, providing very good results. However, there are few information about the fiuorine action over the phisycal-chemistry properties ofthe oxide. The present work focus on the infiuence of halide (F or Cl) doping over some tin oxide characteristics. At first, Sn O2 powders with different additive contents were prepared via a Pechini\'s method derived route. These powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, diffuse refiectance infrared spectroscopy and BET isoterm suface area measurement. From the obtained results, it can be infered that the additives are mainly in the grain surface. The doped samples showed higher surface areas and differences in the IR spectra. The XRD pattern showed neither shifts nor new phases. Therefore, there were neither solid solution formation nor any kind of crystaline lattice changing. Moreover, thermal analysis and electrophoretic dynamic mobility measurements were performed and showed that the additive presence modifies the tin oxide acidity and hydrofobicity. Besides, the electrochemical behavior of films and syntered tin oxide were explored. Films were prepared through dip coating and supported on glass or gold substrates. Syntered tin oxide was prepared in pellet shape. Pellets and glass supported films showed high resistivity, which leads to poor electrochemical response. Only the gold supported fiims showed good response. These films were electrochemicaly characterized with an inert electrolyte, an electrochemical probe (Fe(CN6-4 / Fe(CN6-3 redox pair) and an corrosive electrolyte. Scaning electronic microscopy was performed too. According to the results, the films are not homogeneous and the metallic substrate was exposed. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies were either performed with fiuorine-doped films. A proposed equivalent circuit was capable to fit the results. Charge transfer resistance and double layer capacity ofthe films could be calculated.

Organometal Halide Perovskite Solar Absorbers and Ferroelectric Nanocomposites for Harvesting Solar EnergyHettiarachchi, Chaminda Lakmal 13 November 2017 (has links)
Organometal halide perovskite absorbers such as methylammonium lead iodide chloride (CH3NH3PbI3-xClx), have emerged as an exciting new material family for photovoltaics due to its appealing features that include suitable direct bandgap with intense light absorbance, band gap tunability, ultra-fast charge carrier generation, slow electron-hole recombination rates, long electron and hole diffusion lengths, microsecond-long balanced carrier mobilities, and ambipolarity. The standard method of preparing CH3NH3PbI3-xClx perovskite precursors is a tedious process involving multiple synthesis steps and, the chemicals being used (hydroiodic acid and methylamine) are quite expensive. This work describes a novel, single-step, simple, and cost-effective solution approach to prepare CH3NH3PbI3-xClx thin films by the direct reaction of the commercially available CH3NH3Cl (or MACl) and PbI2. A detailed analysis of the structural and optical properties of CH3NH3PbI3-xClx thin films deposited by aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition is presented. Optimum growth conditions have been identified. It is shown that the deposited thin films are highly crystalline with intense optical absorbance.
Charge carrier separation of these thin films can be enhanced by establishing a local internal electric field that can reduce electron-hole recombination resulting in increased photo current. The intrinsic ferroelectricity in nanoparticles of Barium Titanate (BaTiO3 -BTO) embedded in the solar absorber can generate such an internal field. A hybrid structure of CH3NH3PbI3-xClx perovskite and ferroelectric BTO nanocomposite FTO/TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3-xClx: BTO/P3HT/Cu as a new type of photovoltaic device is investigated. Aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition process that is scalable to large-scale manufacturing was used for the growth of the multilayer structure. TiO2 and P3HT with additives were used as ETL and HTL respectively. The growth process of the solar absorber layer includes the nebulization of a mixture of PbI2 and CH3NH3Cl perovskite precursors and BTO nanoparticles dissolved in DMF, and injection of the aerosol into the growth chamber and subsequent deposition on TiO2. While high percentage of BTO in the film increases the carrier separation, it also leads to reduced carrier generation. A model was developed to guide the optimum BTO nanoparticle concentration in the nanocomposite films. Characterization of perovskite solar cells indicated that ferroelectric polarization of BTO nanoparticles leads to the increase of the width of depletion regions in the perovskite layer hence the photo current was increased by one order of magnitude after poling the devices. The ferroelectric polarization of BTO nanoparticles within the perovskite solar absorber provides a new perspective for tailoring the working mechanism and photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells.
