DFT investigations have been carried out on encapsulation of Lindqvist-type W(6)O(19)(2-) anion inside hydrogenated (n,n) armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes (h-CNTs) with n = 8, 9, 10 to understand the confinement effect of the CNTs on the rotation of W(6)O(19)(2-). The energy-decomposition analysis (EDA) of interaction between W(6)O(19)(2-) and CNTs shows that with the increase of confinement effect from n = 8, 9, to 10, the destabilizing ΔE(Pauli) plays a more important role in the relative orientation of W(6)O(19)(2-) inside CNTs. For W(6)O(19)(2-)@(9,9) h-CNT, the most stable orientation appears at the y/z angle 45°/36°. The confinement effect reduces significantly the energy gap of W(6)O(19)(2-)@(n,n) h-CNT (n = 8, 9, 10) compared with free W(6)O(19)(2-). Electron transfer from the W(6)O(19)(2-) to CNT is observed.
采用密度泛函理论(DFT)方法研究了 Lindqvist 型 W(6)O(19)(2-)阴离子在氢化(n,n)扶手椅型单壁碳纳米管(h-CNTs)内的封装,n = 8、9、10,以了解 CNT 对 W(6)O(19)(2-)旋转的限制作用。W(6)O(19)(2-)与 CNT 之间相互作用的能量分解分析(EDA)表明,随着限制效应从 n = 8、9 增加到 10,破坏ΔE(Pauli)在 W(6)O(19)(2-)在 CNT 内的相对取向中起着更重要的作用。对于 W(6)O(19)(2-)@(9,9) h-CNT,最稳定的取向出现在 y/z 角 45°/36°。与游离的 W(6)O(19)(2-)相比,封装效应显著降低了 W(6)O(19)(2-)@(n,n) h-CNT(n = 8、9、10)的能隙。观察到从 W(6)O(19)(2-)到 CNT 的电子转移。
